YETI Driving School Update: We are actively working to bring the Motorcycle Skills Assessment (MSA)—equivalent to the MST—to our school and hope to offer it by May 2025. If we are unable to conduct the MST (MSA) at our school, we will provide a motorcycle for your MST test with ICBC in Dawson Creek, as well as additional training at no extra cost. In 2023–2024, around 60 students successfully passed their MST using this option. If you do not pass the MST on your first attempt, we offer additional training for free.

Step 3: Pass the Motorcycle Road Test After at least 30 days with your learner’s license, you can take the Class 6 road test to earn your full motorcycle license.

When you practice regularly, you become more familiar with how the car works, the rules of the road, and how to handle different traffic situations. It's like learning to predict and react to things while driving. This practice also helps you feel less nervous about driving. Overall, it's like training to be a good and safe driver, making sure you're ready for anything that might happen while you're on the road and keeping everyone safe.

This depends on the individual, as every student has different abilities, needs, levels of experience and different opportunities to practice.
