Terrible instructors on motorcycle lack of instruction and communication, their kent range site is horrible pot hole everywhere full of holes in the pavement and so rough it's unsafe, I would not recommend this school for motorcycle riders, Read Less

Great place to learn how to ride a motorcycle!I was on a basic level. And I have learned how to ride a motorcycle with 0 experience in 2 days (Saturday, Sunday) from 9:00 am  to 6:30 pm.The training is divided into two parts: theory and practice. Second day also includes exams. Most people pass exams and are ready to receive motorcycle endorsement ( including me:-) ).The coaches were great - Steve and Rick.They watch every student closely during practical (when you are on motorcycle) exercises and give great advices that allow to progress fast.If you want to learn how to ride a motorcycle in 2 days and get your motorcycle endorsement (with high probability), you should definitely sign up for a basic level course!

I took my private driving lessons with this company for a package of 5 sessions for 90 minutes with pick up and drop off + DOL road test costing $535 in total. Doug was my instructor the whole time. He is professional, very patient and a great teacher. Confidence in learning how to drive is key and Doug helped me gain it with grace and calmness : ) He is pleasant and has a sense of humour too which made the whole experience enjoyable. The location of the school is easy to find. I booked my lessons with Michelle over the phone with no issues at all. The day of my driving road test, Tina was my examiner and like Doug, she is professional and pleasant. I was naturally nervous but with Doug's excellent teaching and Tina's pleasant vibe, I passed! Doug is highly recommended. Thanks to Doug and Tina! : ) And now my journey begins.... Read Less

I have mixed feelings about my class at Evergreen. We had two instructors, Kelsi and Jeff. I have to say Kelsi was awesome and really did  give clear advice on how the riders could improve, in a nice, calm and supportive way. Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and funny as all get out, but needs to be a little more clear on what the point is. He tried, but was definitely growing impatient with some of the riders including myself even though we were trying our hardest and his instructions were just not always clear, we just sort of had to figure it out at times, unsure about what to do. This happened several times.  He often left out important points for example, a clear instruction would be "after that green cone stop right away, without skidding" rather than "after the green cones pass  your line of vision, stop as soon as you can safely stop, maintaining a smooth stop using the left right technique". If the point is, you need to stop right away because every inch further you go, you get docked points for on the DOL skills test, many of us would have aced that part with little confusion if it was clear what the goal is. I would have stopped before my rear tire ever passed the dang cones. During the WA DOL skills test, I noticed many riders hit the lines, and put their feet down and went way too slow to have the right control, dropped their bikes, during the skills test sections but somehow they all passed,  but I failed, and was given very little info about why. I never lost my speed, I never went out of the lines, I eased into every curve and turned at the speed I needed to be at, and felt confident like I had nailed it! Kelsi even told me I "nailed it" after the skills test. While others were frustrated and cussed about messing up several times throughout the court. But guess what?!? They all  passed which is awesome, but  it was actually extremely confusing when I received my failing score after completing the course with ease. I promise, I am not a hater lol I was glad for them, but confused and given little info. I ended up getting my endorsement after taking a class elsewhere, and I highly prefer the other school I went to! No grey areas, just clear concise instruction, the whole class passed. Now I am happily zooming around the city on my Kawasaki Ninja. I wouldn't recommend Evergreen, unless you get an instructor other than Jeff. Read Less

My overall experience at this place was pretty pleasant. I was here to take the course to help me get a two wheeler endorsement. The location is quite convenient, right off the freeway. Their bikes are in a decent shape and the facility is quite clean. Most importantly, our group's instructors Tom and Jim were excellent. They are knowledgeable coaches and very friendly and sweet. By the end of the weekend we all felt like a family :). The best part is that our whole group passed the course. Now I can't wait to ride my Pink Vespa around town this summer :))) Read Less

I took a 2.5 days weekend Basic Rider Course in Renton, instructors Jeff and Martin. First of all, it's important to know that I really have troubles following any type of theoretical class and I learn best by doing things. So before I signed up, I was a bit worried that if the course is more theoretical than practical, then I wouldn't be able to get much value of it. I had never ridden a motorcycle before and my goal was to understand whether it would be a good idea to get one. And this class turned out to be an excellent way to do it. (BTW, some people complained that the course is too expensive. Make sure you get a subsidized class if you comply -- it's $125 instead of $250.) The course is 8 hours theory, which gives a great introduction into a few things you need to be aware of. And then, the most valuable part from my perspective, -- 8 hours on wheels training. If you can ride a regular (non-motorized) bicycle, then you'll most likely have zero troubles going through the training. I was a bit skeptical about myself being able to do that, but it turned out fine. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, engaging and super polite. (I tend to ask stupid questions and regularly miss portions of important information, but they handled it perfectly.) Read Less

I went to Evergreen driving school to get my drivers license and while I did learn the information about driving I did not enjoy my time there. The teacher made the class hard to stay alert and made you feel bad if you got an answer to one of his questions wrong. What really pushed me over was when we had to change a tire. He had all of the boys change the tire and then when I (I am a girl and was the only girl who got asked to change the tire) was done cranking he had a male check it to see if it was on right. He also made a comment that said "for you girls, if you ever need to change a tire call someone for help or get an electronic thing to use." Also during my drives I was constantly stressed because he would make rude comments and would sometimes yell. It was not just the teacher that made this experience difficult. The people working there were very disorganized and for some reason you couldn't schedule a drive during the weekends which was the only time I could. I also thought that I had taken my final driving test but it turned out to be a practice test that they made you have to pass in order to take the real one. Overall, I would not suggest to go to this driving school. Read Less

I took motorcycle basic rider course this weekend, and it was a great experience. Jeff and Martin were our instructors, and both were very helpful, explained everything, pointed at mistakes and suggested how to improve on each exercise. They were very polite and positive. I should say this course is quite challenging for a person who never ridden a motorcycle before, but it is definitely doable with some effort. They teach more than required to pass DOL test, so the test at the end was quite easy. Read Less

I took this motorcycle course about a year ago, and failed the test.  I'm giving them 5 stars because they tried their damndest to get me roadworthy, and I just wasn't ready.  Since then, I spent the next 6 months riding (on my permit) and practicing, and this weekend I passed the skills test with a perfect score,100% (the only one in my class).I since moved to Lynnwood, so I chose a different school for my 2nd test, and I'm here to tell you the classes are all the same.  You have classroom time, and riding time, and they do their best to get you prepared.  The instructors at Evergreen are AWESOME, especially the big brash dude whose name I can't remember right now.  All in all a good experience, and I'm just here to thank them for not passing me, as I wouldn't want to be on the road with me a year ago ;) Read Less

This weekend I took my BRC class. Our instructors Jim and Ernie where absolutely awesome!!!! The class was very informative and their coaching what spot on no matter what the riders skill level was. Anyone looking to get endorsed I would suggest this class. Read Less

I really liked the instructors and what the school provided me. I was never able to get my license in the past. So, I went and took the beginners course one weekend and was able to pass the exam on Sunday. I liked it so much and went back Tuesday to attend the intermediate class. Both gave me confidence to start riding. On the first course, I had 2 instructors.On the 2nd, I had one only, a guy who was an ex-cop. Very fun chap ! He recommended me to get a bike and start riding around my block. And as I was getting confidence, to go around 2 blocks. I did this for a week. After that, I started going farther and farther away. Now I am going up to 20 miles in my rides. Great school, great instructors, very patient and I had a lot of fun there.Mario Read Less

Came here to take my written and drive tests and I have to say I'm happy I took my tests here. I bought the package where you get the warm up drive then take the test immediately after. Jesse was my tester and he was great. This guy has an incredibly calming voice and is great at teaching you basic maneuvers. All in all I had a good experience and would recommend anyone to take their drive test here. Read Less

This place really deserves more of a 2.5 Stars.  For starters - its not a cheap course. $250 per person for a two day (weekend) class.  Its really designed for people who have never ridden before in their life.  A portion of the day is spent in class watching old videos of "scenarios" to look out for and a little bit of discussion of different bike types and parts of a motorcycle.  The other portion of the class is outside in an enclosed lot no more than 40 - 50 years square.  Each person gets to hop on a standard style motorcycles and a few dual sports.  Which to me is already a downer because my girlfriend and I had bought crotch rockets and was hoping to learn on something more similar to it.I've ridden before so i knew the basic concepts and understood how to ride and the functioning of the bike.  This class goes thru the utmost basic controls for someone who has never done so.  I was expecting more "safety" education.  What to do in real world situations.  Practice how to avoid certain situations and how to react when you do get into those situations.However we were taught how to just ride the motorcycle.  The second day involved more video watching and more seat time on how to ride and learning basic maneuvering skills.  There wasn't much on road safety, rules of the road, or how to avoid common situations. All in all - I think its over priced for what you get IF you already know how to ride.  If you have zero clue what you're doing - its worth the time but I can't say its worth the money.  You can save it by practicing in a parking lot on your own.  As far as the safety videos they did show... youtube provides more up to date examples.
