I had a horrible experience on day two with the two male instructors. On 9/28/24 I attended the PSC motorcycle course as a first time rider at Southwestern College in SD. On day one all we got was instructors yelling and screaming at the students and constantly telling a class of 30 plus people that we were running out of daylight and we were so behind and I can truly say walked away with some knowledge and confidence. If you're attending as a first time rider you have anxious and it doesn't make it any better getting constantly yelled at especially if you are paying $400 to take a safety course. 1. The class has way too many people for 2 instructors that are over worked and have very little patience. I don't blame them working in the summer sun for 10 plus hours. 2. It's really challenging to hear the instructions across a giant parking lot with motorcycle engine going. 3. YOU ARE SUPER RUSHED TO GET THROUGH THE EXERCISES THEY GIVR YOU TWO CHANCES IF YOU DON'T GET IT ON THE SECOND TRY THEY ARE MOVING ON TO MORE ADVANCED EXERCISES! On day two 06/29/24, we had completely two different instructors can't recall their names one with dreadlocks and the other short Hispanic guy with facial hair. They started out all cool and nice than by halfway through the class they were becoming more frustrated with the students. On one of the speeding and swerving exercises I was on a Honda Grom where I had a fall and broke my thumb two days later had to have surgery. The peg broke on the motorcycle at the moment I sucked it up and was given a completely a different motorcycle with super responsive throttle that every time I would open the throttle it would jump. I asked if I could use one of the other Groms to take the riding exam part and they both stated no they didn't have time for me to wait for one of the other riders that was 10 people ahead of me to use the other Grom for my riding exam. That automatically made me feel like oh well you already failed the course it's up to you if you want to hangout so we can tell you that sorry you have no other choice but to pack up and leave. I made an incident report of my fall I was told someone would follow up with me regards to retaking the riding day two portion of it for $60 to $100 feet but no one ever called me not emailed. I followed up I was given the run around by some lady over the phone. Over the experience was bad I took another course with a different organization where we had 3 instructors for 9 people and successfully passed and walked away with a lot knowledge and how to be a safe rider. PSC JUST WANTS YOUR MONEY AND I TRULY THINK THEY DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE LEARNING OR NOT THEY JUST PUSH YOU TO THE NEXT EXERCISE SO THEY CAN CLAM THAT THEY HAVE COVERED THE COURSE MATERIAL AND THEY DON'T HAVE TIME TO REVIEW OR GIVE YOU POINTERS. I would do some research before paying these people $450 for a rushed two day course with two burnt out instructors with very little patience for 30 plus students.

I highly recommend this course to new riders and riders who haven't been riding for a couple years. A special thanks to Charlie, Jeremy, and Chris who shared their experiences, knowledge, and their passion for riding safely. The effective course curriculum meets the needs of a new rider & experienced riders. The training staff was amazing with time management out on the practice course.
