Washington Motorcycle Safety Training and Testing DOL Approved

Fantastic experience: Jasmine and Misha are fantastic instructors. They were extremely helpful, and great at teaching motorcycle safety.

Fantastic experience: I have no words to thank Prasanna and Jonathan, their knowledge of motorcycles is enormous and the way they teach you is magnificent, Prasanna and Jonathan are great professionals.

Fantastic experience: They'll make sure you pass. But if you're not safe to be on a bike, you'll probably need to keep learning a little more. Great instructors.

Fantastic experience: you have to learn with Ken! he's super knowledgeable but totally down-to-earth. The coolest part? He remembers everyone's name, even if you're from halfway across the world!! He's super modest, really gets what you're going through, and just genuinely friendly. Learning with him is awesome. Big thumbs up, seriously take his class!!

Fantastic experience: I am not a fan of more Government regulations, but I must say this was a valuable class. The instructor, Jim Winston was terrific. He was not a pushover but rather very instructive and helpful. I have a much greater chance of staying alive out on the streets because of him. Take the classes, you will be much better off if you do. Thank you Jim Winston!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience training with James. Excellent coach, he cares and is very passionate about giving his student the right tools to be a riding in Washington State. I would 100% take his permit class again. I cant wait to take his endorsement testing soon. Thanks Jim!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with Seth at WMST in Auburn today, and will highly recommend him to all future, potential WMST students. Great Job, Seth! Alan Chous Maple Valley, WA

Fantastic experience: The facility is easy to find and well laid out, creating a comfortable environment from the start. But what really set Everett apart was the instructor – Jim was absolutely amazing! He has a unique ability to break down basic motorcycle concepts into simple, digestible and understandable pieces. His approach to teaching is very clear and effective, helping me grasp everything from basic handling to more advanced techniques. Jim paced me with practical exercises to reinforce the core skills we were focusing on, allowing me to build muscle memory much faster than I anticipated. Jim’s patient, hands-on approach, combined with his deep knowledge and enthusiasm, made all the difference. By the end of the session I was confident and capable – and looking forward to more after passing my permit test.

Fantastic experience: The instructor was extremely experienced and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Excellent training and instruction. James is a great teacher and makes the class a lot of fun!

Fantastic experience: I learned new riding skills, and have become a safer rider due to this class. I learned more confidence in the abilities of a motorcycle. Jim Winston was an excellent instructor. He demonstrated everything he taught, was hands-on coaching while we were riding, and added humor to make the overall experience fun. Highly recommend this class!

Fantastic experience: I have ADHD and classroom/group settings are challenging for me. In fact, when I first attempted the motorcycle course in Colorado I failed my test because I couldn’t follow basic instructions. Swerve before the green cone, or was it after, do it again, wait, what was it again…instructor repeats instructions, do you understand. Yes I got it. Tries again, and forgets in an instant. Yay brain! So, when I moved to Washington I hired a private coach (Elias) who worked with me. It was such a relief, and exactly what I needed. Elias was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable in teaching me how to be a better rider. I passed the permit and endorsement tests and now I want to ride everyday! I’m now one step closer to achieving my dream of riding with my dad. Next time I visit Colorado I’ll bring my bike. Thank you soo much for your help Elias! I truly appreciate your help and hope to reconnect in the future! I’ll try to send some students your way! You’re amazing bro! Keep up the stellar work! :)

Fantastic experience: Cindy is The Best!!!!

Fantastic experience: Our instructor was very professional, demanding of excellence, and safety while being fun and engaging.

Fantastic experience: Even after over twenty years of riding experience I still learned and improved existing skills do to my instructors expert instruction. He created an environment that was fun and skill building. I'm pleased with the course and believe it is time and money well spent.

Fantastic experience: Great course. Super informative and even pretty fun. And I hate taking courses in general.

Fantastic experience: James is the man!

Fantastic experience: GIVE ELIAS A RAISE.!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: The homie Elias was hell fun yall need to give him a raise

Fantastic experience: Sign up with my boy Elias 10/10

Fantastic experience: Very easy and comfortable to learn. I'm going to take the real test in the next month or two.

Fantastic experience: Nick, Jim, and Greg were great!

Fantastic experience: These guys are great instructors great class I’ve done the kickstart class very informative than took the intermediate class.. would recommend doing beginner class instead of intermediate for those that don’t ride.

Fantastic experience: Our instructor Cyndi was awesome over at the Tacoma range. Very knowledgeable and patient with us new riders. I plan on coming back for some of the other courses!

Fantastic experience: Jim was an awesome instructor! I can confidently say I know how to drive a motorcycle after this Kickstart class!!

Fantastic experience: super friendly!!! easy to learn, great for a first timer!! thank you jim!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing course! I wanted to give up but the instructor helped me push through! I learned all the basics and feel comfy on a bike!

Fantastic experience: Went through WMST for my permit and then endorsement. Instructors were awesome. My endorsement instructor, Chuck, even helped me to relax in cornering, and while it's still a little nervewracking, his tips really helped me to lean, trust the bike, and hubby even says he can see much more confidence in me when cornering. Thanks, WMST!

Fantastic experience: I think it’s ridiculous that you have to take a course to get your permit after you do your endorsement test. I misunderstood thinking that you could do it all in one day without a permit. 37 Experience you think you’d be able to just take a test. Will was a great and highly suggest taking the course. Especially if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Fantastic experience: This class was extremely helpful. I found ares of my riding which I can improve and was taught how to do just that.

Fantastic experience: Learned a lot. Plenty of practice time. Just a very basic introduction.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed a motorcycle permit course, and I had the pleasure of being instructed by Chuck, with assistance from Anand. The course spanned over the weekend for a total of 16 hours, encompassing both classroom and riding sessions.My experience with Chuck was phenomenal. He excelled in both the classroom and riding sessions. Despite some of us having prior motorcycle experience, Chuck ensured we started from the basics. He was thorough, shared numerous personal experiences, and made sure nothing was overlooked. His teaching was clear and repetitive enough to ensure comprehension, providing individual attention whenever needed.Chuck's extensive experience was invaluable, especially in understanding the nuances of riding a motorcycle in the United States compared to India. His positive attitude, practical testing skills, and engaging teaching style made a significant difference. It's evident that Chuck is continually learning, which enhances his effectiveness as an instructor.We need more teachers like Chuck. I cannot thank him enough for his support throughout the course, which I passed with flying colors. I highly recommend this course, especially with Chuck and Anand, to anyone looking to start learning, improve their skills, or get back into motorcycle riding.

Fantastic experience: My instructors were Chuck and Amand. Chuck made sure of giving excellent instructions for both the in class time and range practice. He's the perfect amount of stern to keep everyone enjoying their experience while also making sure everyone is staying safe and performing to the best of their abilities. Amand did a good job of showing demonstration and also gave great reassurance to the class to keep us from being stressed about the skills test. I highly recommend WMST and plan on coming back for advanced classes in the near future!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing. Had a great time both in class and on the range. Easy to learn and understand the material thanks to Mischa. She always had an everyday wording to help with questions and improvements. More than worth the money and will be taking the endorsement soon!

Negative experience: This is ridiculous. It seams like a lot of training companies around the seattle area operate this way but they are all ridiculous and over priced. They might be MSF approved but they are not the standard MSF format.

Fantastic experience: Misha was an amazing instructor, very personable,professional and overall a really great instructor made every drill or classroom portion very easy to understand and was very knowledgeable! Highly recommend her as your instructor if your debating on going it’s worth it

Fantastic experience: Misha did great as instructor, really appreciate the advice she gave me and answered my personal questions for my self improvement. She had a great attitude and was very easy to work with:)

Fantastic experience: Great instructors, were by the book but were fair. Knocked out the permit and endorsement in 4 to 5 hrs.

Fantastic experience: Took my permit class with Chuck. He was amazing. Firm but fair. He really cares and he really enjoys what he does. As a side note, there was an issue/problem that came up with some attendees and he handled it very professionally and very respectfully. Took my endorsement class with Jim. He was awesome too. Very good teacher and very relatable. Very grateful. Highly recommend WSMT, and especially Chuck and Jim.

Fantastic experience: I took the beginner permit course and the endorsement qualifying course with James Winston and enjoyed it very much. He gave very helpful and supportive tips to help us get set up for the tests.

Fantastic experience: Best school for training and get your all endorsement. Very friendly atmosphere in class and in range. Recently Just got my permit and endorsement from here. James is a great instructor and love his way of teaching friendly and funny, make you get everything in easy way. Recommend everyone who looking to get motorcycle endorsement

Fantastic experience: I had a great time doing the 'Intermediate Training' and 'Endorsement Training' with James/Jim. He was the best in teaching us both the classroom stuff for the written test and skills test on the range. He also shared great tips outside the curriculum and helped us correct our mistakes. Definitely recommend training here to get motorcycle license.

Fantastic experience: James was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, I will hopefully be returning for his rider refresher.

Fantastic experience: I took the intermediate permit training and testing class it was absolutely amazing enjoyed every minute of it James Winston our instructor was a fantastic teacher I learned so much from him I will now take these news skills and practice them on the road I'll be back soon for the endorsement training and testing thanks again Jim see you soon!

Fantastic experience: The instructor was awesome and so very helpful. I took the intermediate class today and James Winston was my instructor at the Auburn location. Very knowledgeable and made sure everyone understood everything he talked about. I am planning on going back to his location to finish my endorsement tests. I am very satisfied with him. Great guy and really funny as well. I can not say enough good things about my experience. I truly would recommend taking his class. Thanks again for everything James Winston. Sincerely yours Thomas Pudmaroff.

Fantastic experience: This was a fantastic class. Our instructor Chuck kept the class engaged as we learned the material related to riding a trike safely. It was very clear that Chuck loves what he does with years of riding experience. Throughout the training Chuck was very supportive and reassuring that regardless of knowledge and skill level I could be successful in passing the class. I told members of my motorcycle club about the class and they are looking to sign up.

Fantastic experience: The instructor was great; skilled, knowledgeable, and friendly. The course was easy to follow, and the we had more than enough range time to practice skills before the final test. The vehicles provided for the course were well-maintained and east to operate.

Fantastic experience: Class pacing was excellent and my instructor was knowledgeable, made sure we understood, and listen to the students. Everyone passed.

Fantastic experience: Both Ken and Misha were professional from start to finish. Helpful and answered all of our questions in a clear and concise manner. Able to pass both beginner tests easily with their help.

Fantastic experience: Misha for the win!!! Best instructor in the world. Also a extremely funny person, helped me with my stress over the whole course. Thank Misha!!

Fantastic experience: Great lessons. Learned a lot

Fantastic experience: I’ve now taken 3 classes through WMST/Auburn and will go back for more. The instructors know their business, and help the rider understand exactly what is needed, what should be adjusted, and what to focus on. And it’s fun! Major kudos to Kat, Carl, Misha, and Brent.

Fantastic experience: Shout out to Cynthia and Misha for expert customer service for my friend with anxiety. I was there for his special needs. You were very accommodating. Thank you. After many failed tests, with several private practice sessions and moral support he got it done!! Down to the wire, the team came together to get him enrolled in Auburn for testing. Today was a great day for him, I had fun watching too. Thanks group! The other students helped a lot. Testers work so hard. Thanks Misha.

Fantastic experience: Great!

Fantastic experience: David E lead a great starter class

Fantastic experience: I came to the kick start program knowing very little about bikes and by the end learned to turn on the second gear. I had so much fun !

Fantastic experience: Excellent training and they make it fun too. Thanks!!
