Rider Training
The MSI Urban Motorcycle Rider Course and Skilled Rider Course are offered through our network of endorsed Riding Schools and Certified Instructors.
The MSI Advanced Rider Course is exclusively offered near Durban and Pretoria. The ARC equips the rider for real-world, higher-speed evasive manoeuvres and everyday traffic-riding scenarios.
Our proprietary Road Captain Course is the only training of its kind in the world, geared to equip Road Captains and Group Marshals to safely and effectively manage Group Rides and Mass Rides. The RCC is offered, on demand, throughout South Africa.
MSI is the only organisation in Africa that trains and certifies Motorcycle Riding Instructors, with training conducted near Durban but can be arranged elsewhere if requirements are met. MSI-Certified Instructors enjoy the full support of Riding School start-up and ongoing guidance.
