Title: Anyone looking to become a MSF Rider Coach?
Post by: Vegasrider on December 02, 2017, 06:20:57 PM
The Nevada Rider Motorcycle Safety Program will be conducting their MSF Rider Coach Preparation Class for 2018 beginning  April 20th.  The classes are three consecutive weekends, Fri night thru Sunday in Carson City.  Looking to see if any riders on this forum would be interested.  You must have a NV DL, unless you are in the military and have had a M endorsement for at least two years.  Good driving/riding record is a must and you must regularly ride a motorcycle.  There are great benefits once you become an instructor, such as discounts for parts and safety gear.  50% discounts on Arai helmets, and most other gear at dealer cost.  Once you are certified, you can coach at the local collages or even at Harley, Chester's or Battle Born and get paid! You can even teach for the state, and teach out in Elko and other rural communities.

I agree, you'd be great.  The hardest part is getting certified.  But once you're a coach, all you have to do is teach four classes every two years to maintain your certification.  To be honest, if you do get certified, you won't have an opportunity to teach that many classes the first year as the classes go out to bid who are eligible to teach.  I was fortunate to teach 3-4 classes last season.  This year, I plan on coaching around 2-3 times a month.  I really need the money, my Ducati is so freaking expensive to operate.
