Canada safety council motorcycle training program ottawa

The M2 Lecture course is targeted at experienced active riders who have an M2 and are eligible to upgrade to a full M. The M2-Exit course is targeted at experienced active riders who have an M2 and are eligible to upgrade to a full M. Students learn the street-oriented riding skills required for the Ontario M licence and safety-oriented strategies for riding in traffic.

Students ride in active traffic, so they need to be comfortable with real-world riding on streets and highways. Students are required to provide a motorcycle for the practical and testing portions, which is properly licensed, road safe, and insured, as well as riding gear that meets our criteria. Many riders use it as a refresher course before hitting the open road in the Spring. The purpose of this course is to give riders a chance to improve their skills on their own motorcycles. The course is 8 hours long.

We encourage all riders to take this course whenever they feel need a refresher. Throughout the course emphasis is placed on practicing the just-learned techniques.

The course delivery is such that learners can keep pace with little difficulty. More importantly, though, the final test gives the student an idea of where their weaknesses are.

Our classes run just about every weekend from the end of April through to the end of September. We are fortunate to have a team of experienced and dedicated, volunteer instructors to ensure students have the best possible experience when training with the OSC.

Our MTP instructors are active motorcyclists. Many own more than one motorcycle and ride many thousands of kilometers per year. We offer various programs ranging from an introductory course targeted at those who have never ridden a motorcycle, a M2 Exit Course for those wanting to obtain their full M licence and an Experienced Rider Course for those who want to continue to learn and finesse their skills.

Learn about road safety with us! We focus on road safety to ensure our communities are safe and that the people in those communities feel empowered with the knowledge and tools needed to write their own road safety stories.
