CMSP-Certified Training with Experienced Instructors

Valley Motorcycle Training operates as an official provider of the California Motorcyclist Safety Program (CMSP), delivering certified rider education across Fresno, Merced, and Visalia. With over 35 years of experience in the Central Valley, the academy focuses on transforming both beginners and returning riders into safe, confident motorists. The curriculum is comprehensive, covering everything from basic handling to advanced accident avoidance strategies, ensuring that students receive a thorough education before hitting the road.

Supportive Teaching and Modern Fleet

A recurring highlight in student feedback is the quality of the instructional staff. Many riders praise instructors for their patience, humor, and ability to make learning both effective and enjoyable. Whether it’s a first-time rider or an experienced motorist refining their skills, the teachers are noted for being supportive and motivating. To facilitate this hands-on learning, the school provides a fleet of modern motorcycles, including Harley-Davidson Street 500s, which allows students to practice on substantial, street-legal bikes rather than small mopeds. Helmets and all necessary gear are also supplied, removing the financial burden of equipment for learners.

Flexible Learning Options and Benefits

  • Flexible Scheduling: Classes are offered with flexible hours to accommodate busy lifestyles.
  • Online Classroom Option: Students can complete the theoretical portion of the course online at their own pace, known as the eRider program.
  • DMV Certification: Graduates receive a certificate that waives the DMV skills test, saving time and effort.
  • Insurance Discounts: Completion of the CMSP course often qualifies riders for discounts on motorcycle insurance premiums.

For riders under 21, this training is a mandatory step toward obtaining a license, while older riders view it as an excellent opportunity to correct bad habits and refresh their knowledge. Although experiences can vary by location and instructor, the majority of reviews describe the program as a fantastic, life-enriching experience that significantly boosts riding confidence and safety.

Negative experience: This place was the worst for me. They string you along like your passing then nail you on the skills test. I've been riding and owning Harleys since I was in my 20s. I own 2 bikes now. I scored 96 on The written test and on the skills test they said I didn't understand, huh? After you fail the skills test of course you can pay $250 and take it again. Then someone calls you at home to convince you it was your fault. Some of thier bikes are not even street legal, no mirrors, broken tail lights etc. When they called me at home I stringed them along like it was cool, I hope they see this review and feel how I felt. If you're not passing or so called don't understand then you shouldn't move forward period. It also means they haven't done their job and 1 things for damn sure,they're not always right. I'm in my 60s now and ride a chopper and 2018 Street Glide. I have a commercial license and M1 since 2015. I see why Matthew Harley doesn't use them anymore. So if you're prepared to spend $600 go to them. I'm a veteran so I'm going back to Matthew's Harley. I learned my lesson.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience! I did the eRider online course and riding training at the Visalia location. 29170 Drive 85, Visalia, CA. Instructions are knowledgeable, fun, and supportive. ️

Fantastic experience: Took the 1 day premier course 1-31-25. As someone who’s been riding/racing dirt since early childhood and new to street I came in thinking I was an okay street rider. Decided to sign up for the course anyway to avoid doing the dmv test. I learned very quickly riding street is completely different technique and I had a lot of room for improvement. Ofir and Stephanie are great teachers and I can genuinely say I learned a lot. I now have a much better foundation to build upon and the difference in stability, control, and confidence on the bike is night and day. This class was worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Trained 11/30 & 12/1 at the Visalia airport under Al and Ron as the instructors and I just want to say these courses are amazing, I felt like if I was training with family the entire time alongside my trainers and fellow riders. Trainers are great instructors, make you feel comfortable, motivate you, treat you as human beings and last but not least they train you efficiently and teach you skills you’ll remember for a lifetime. I highly recommend this course to any new or experienced rider and for my instructors you are greatly appreciated, thank you.

Fantastic experience: Hi, Do you guys have a number I can call. I would like to know if I can enroll on a course, I live in Fresno, I'm 18 and I'm about turn 19 but I've never ridden a motorcycle in my life or own a motorcycle. I have knowledge on how to turn on a motorcycle and upshift and downshift a motorcycle because I've been learning on the Internet, I'm looking forward to be a new rider.
