Get Certified to teach the MSF DirtBike School!

You must be at least 18 years of age and be an off-highway motorcyclist with several years of varied riding experience. You will need to have good communication skills and required to teach at least two DBS courses in a one-year period to maintain the certification.

If you enroll in the DBS Coach Certification Course, be prepared to ride! Every day! We prefer that you bring your own full off-road gear. However, if you do not own off-road gear, you will need a DOT-approved helmet; over-the-ankle, sturdy leather footwear; long pants; long-sleeved shirt or jacket; and full-fingered gloves (preferably leather).
Be prepared to set aside time during off-class hours to study. This is an intensive program that requires a lot of work and concentration. Do not enroll unless you can attend every class meeting.

The Coach Preparation is a 4-day course that typically runs Thursday through Sunday. First, you'll be required to pass a riding-skill test. Then you practice teaching in the classroom. From there you learn how to manage the range exercises and how to evaluate and coach students as they develop their riding skills. At the end of the training portion of the course, you'll be given a knowledge test. You must pass it to continue in the program. Finally, you and your classmates teach a complete DBS CRE to a group of new riders. The Coach Trainer will evaluate your teaching performance as part of the completion requirements.

The cost for tuition and materials is $1,000.00. Candidates will receive an MSF DBS Coach Guide and range cards. All travel expenses related to the course are the responsibility of the candidate.
