Learning Curves is a bit more relaxed. We dont look for "must have x years experience with x kms" etc.
We look for for a passion for riding and a passion for sharing that passion. Its not a lot of money so you have to truely feel the rewarding side of it. I'll send you a PM.

Look at them all and see what schools suit your style/location etc.

True, but Don does like you to have an M.

And to expand on what Cat said; We also have you do two apprentice weekends as a 'job interview' kind of thing but there's no 100 hours of classroom training to do.

The ministry does mandate a minimum number of hours of training for all instructors, but there is some discretion as to how the training is divided between classroom and on the lot training.

I'm one of the new instructors for Learning Curves. I did 3 apprentice weekends. Mandatory is 2, but I felt more comfortable having the 3rd as 2 classes apprenticing and then having to teach is a little rushed I felt.

Weird that Humber is offering the instructor course so late I've been checking the website for a year and a half and it has always said they aren't doing instructor training...

As for the actual job, finish your apprenticeship and trust me, you'll be hooked! You get to ride all the beginner bikes and the people you work with genuinely love motorcycles. Its like being on this forum for 8 hours a day but your only hanging out in the new riders thread, and there's some more structure to what advice you give the up and comers.

Ideally (a couple years down the road), I'd like to do this as well. I won't be able to retire on the money, but it will be a nice bonus on top of seeing a lot of newcomers get hooked on this passion...

Speaking of which, I'm going to try and go back to Sheridan this weekend to thank my instructors.
