Rider Training Institute

Instructors Wanted

We are no longer accepting applications for the 2010 season. The Rider Training Institute (RTI), is looking for enthusiastic individuals who would like to share their knowledge with new riders.

In order to be considered for employment with RTI as an instructor you must have:

at least 4 seasons of street riding experience
a driving record with less than 6 demerit points
a street legal motorcycle that you actively ride
a current First Aid/CPR certificate (RTI will offer opportunities for you to obtain this)
a mature attitude and comfort in dealing with a variety of people
a desire to teach and practice safe riding techniques
successful completion of our in-house instructor training program

Our in-house training involves approximately 100 hours of your time, divided between classroom sessions held at our office, homework assignments, and 2 apprentice weekends held at our sites. We will be conducting the classroom sessions on Saturdays, through January, February and early March, and ask that you book your apprentice weekends between April and June. During your training we will cover such topics as: our curriculum and riding exercises, the history of RTI, human rights and our students, teaching techniques, MTO road rules, etc. Basically, we will try to prepare you to begin effectively training our students on your first apprentice weekend. If you are a successful candidate, then you must instruct a minimum of 3 courses throughout the remainder of the year to maintain good standing with us. Most of our instructors teach well over that number.

Unfortunately, we do NOT pay our instructor candidates until they are hired and have completed their first regular teaching course. The fee for our instructor training course for 2010 is $275 (plus GST). Successful candidates are given an opportunity to participate in our Technical Rider course and our Intermediate course for free during their first season with RTI, (each of which will be available at several points during the riding season). For your interest, our instructor training course will NOT qualify you to teach at a non-RTI institution, nor will a non-RTI training course qualify you to teach with RTI.

Please contact us for 2010 Instructor training orientation date in January.

Sincerely,
