Price list for beginner lessons, refresher lessons and Q-Ride
All lessons customizable
The main motivator for starting the Sunshine Coast Motorcycle School was to provide motorbike lessons to those people who have always wanted to ride but haven’t learnt for one reason or another. Most of the people I have taught have felt intimidated at the thought of learning in a group (I do a lot of one on one lessons), or even learning by a guy (I think people think I won’t be tough lol). The Q-Ride instructors course was part of my training to become an instructor. This means, once you learn how to ride, I can then provide the Q-Ride course. If you are competent at the end of the course I can provide you with a Department of Transport certificate of competency, which you then take to the Department of Transport. Department of Transport will then convert that to a motorcycle licence at no extra cost.
Q-Ride is governed by QLD Department of Transport. To provide Q-Ride training the instructor must be qualified and registered with the Department of Transport. A person wanting to obtain a motorbike licence must go through a registered Q-Ride provider and complete the course. For more information on Q-Ride visit our FAQ section or http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Licensing/Getting-a-licence/Getting-a-motorcycle-licence.aspx
