The Motorcycle Instructor Assistant works closely with the lead motorcycle instructor to support the successful delivery of rider training courses. Classes are held seasonally on weekends at the main campus, typically from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Between May and September.
The assistant helps ensure that classes run smoothly and safely by preparing and maintaining the training range, setting up and moving cones, repositioning motorcycles between exercises, assisting with equipment organization, and assisting with pre-class setup and post-class cleanup.
In addition, the assistant may demonstrate riding exercises and course activities before students perform them, helping participants better understand instructions and expectations. The position also provides general support to the lead instructor throughout the training day, including monitoring the training area, assisting with class logistics, and helping create a positive learning environment for students of varying skill levels.
Candidates should be dependable, safety-conscious, and comfortable working outdoors for extended periods in a variety of weather conditions. The ability to move motorcycles, lift and carry equipment, and remain active throughout the day is important. Strong communication skills and a willingness to support students and instructors are essential for success in this role.
