Three Asians, including me, were asked to leave without any explanation after the first round of riding. This should be a two-day course. On the first day, It’s knowledge lesson in the morning and driving in the afternoon, but after the lunch, I was console out for no reason after the first round of riding. This is so ridiculous. Is this racial? Asian hater? An Asian who was also asked to leave asked reason? The coach said perfunctorily that we did not follow the instructions, and then asked the specific instructions which we were not followed, and the coach did not speak any more, but insisted that we must leave. Is this legal?

Amazing experience. Would recommend to anyone learning to ride!

Glad I went here for learning motorcycle safety basics. Those who have rode motorcycle outside of USA and are confident in their skills in riding a motorcycle stateside, think again, you really should get your skills redone here. Mike Davis was my instructor here and he is Fantastic! Learned a lot from him. Thank you!P.S. You may not get time to go out and get lunch/snack during your course here. Bring what you want to eat that day with you if youre going to be here all day.

Took the Pre-Basic class(having never rode before) and it was more helpful than I expected! Tim was an excellent teacher! Very clear instructions, patient, and attentive to each student. Definitely going back for the Basic Rider class! 10/10 would recommend!

Being able to borrow a bike to learn on was awesome. Instructors Nick and Jim were great. They moved quickly through the course and made sure each student knew how to improve their skills. Im now confidently looking forward to riding this season!

Great place to get your motorcycle endorsement! Was my first time ever on a motorcycle and I had no problem passing the skills tests after two days of instruction!

No issues when taking the motorcycle training classes. Instructors did a good job in talking to each individual participant when they had issues and they did a good job of walking everyone through the different exercises.

It was great had a good class with instructors. Was great to take this class there I loved It and the people. It was great

A great place to get training as a flagger, tcs, learn to ride motor cycles and other career subjects.

Had a great day today at Evergreen while passing the written test and a skills test for my two-wheel endorsement. The instructors who conducted the tests were very friendly and the whole experience was a charm. Kudos to Nick and the other instructor whose name I unfortunately didnt catch. Hope to see you on the road!

Two of the instructors—Jim and Jeff—are absolutely fantastic. In just two days they transformed our diverse group of students into safe, confident riders, while facilitating an incredibly fun learning environment. If youve been on the fence about learning to ride, drop everything and sign up ASAP. (just remember to read through the confirmation emails for necessary attire. If you show up in flip-flops and a t-shirt, for obvious safety reasons youll be kicked out of the class).

I took my pre BRC class with Nick there and a private riding lesson with Sean(or Shawn?). I also had my endorsement testing today in a downpour and it went perfect thanks to Nick and Chris. No issues at all with this school and the staff. Two reception ladies online and on the phone were very helpful too (Ana and Ashley). Will be probably taking advanced motorcycle classes in the future.

Had a amazing time doing the course

Just got my endorsement from here. My instructor was Dan and he was able to easily teach people from never ridden to road ready in only two days. The feedback was excellent and he answered all my questions. I would strongly recommend evergreen safety council for learning how to ride and for getting your endorsement.

Great experience getting motorcycle license. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Got my bike training here. Very good and thorough. Nice people. Thank you very much!

Dan, Mark, and Daniel were great instructors. Very encouraging and counseled everyone individually during range exercises when necessary. Got me endorsement! Would recommend.

Great help, and Pat is a great instructor!

To be honest I didnt know if I wanted to buy a motorcycle but as a bucket list item I wanted to learn how to ride. It was a fun weekend and time well spent. Jim and Bob, our instructors, were patient and super knowledgeable. As a confidence building exercise I feel Im in a much better place than I was before I started. Going back in the spring for the next level up as although the basic riding course was a good first start I feel I need more training before hitting the road in any serious manner.

Went for flagger certification. Small class size to ensure 6 ft rule. Excellent teacher!

My husband and I went to this place to get our endorsements for riding Trikes on the road. There were a few interesting individuals in the class, but the training was adequate for our needs. Once the training was done, we were able to do the testing and clearance for the endorsement. If you go through the Can-Am website, you can get a large discount for the price of the class. They have Can-Am Rykers and Spiders and a Trike as well for people to take the class and test.

I rarely write reviews, but, my experience taking the Basic Rider Course at Totem Lake Evergreen Safety Council has been so great that made me write a review. In general, the classroom material, and practice motorcycles were in very good shape. But, in particular, my instructors, Jim and Jeff were amazingly great. Jim and Jeff are incredible people and I look forward to taking the additional riding course with them. Jim and Jeff are very respectful, considerate, thoughtful, kind, caring, and passionate people. They are just great instructors. The world would be a much better place if there were more people like these guys. They make you realize how passionately they care about their students and students’ safety, not only during the course, but also for the rest of their lives as long as riding a motorcycle on the roads. They make you feel responsible towards them and take every precaution for the rest of your life to avoid any incidents while riding a motorcycle.

I wish there were more stars to give. What a wonderful class, I got so much out of it and it was just the beginning class. And our instructors were so funny and they were so supportive oh, you would dont even feel like you did anything wrong they just corrected it so nice. Fantastic fantastic class.

I took their Basic Rider Course course at Totem Lake in order to get my motorcycle endorsement. It was a blast! Jeff B. and Jim were my instructors, and both were excellent guys. They had a genuine interest in helping all of the riders improve and pass the tests. I only briefly spoke to other employees there, but they all seemed kind and that they wanted to be there (not just another job).The equipment provided was pretty good for such a cheap class. $125 for the subsidized one ($50 if you are under 18), and I didnt even have to sign up far in advance, I think it was about 4 days prior to the first class. They also have options if you want to complete it in 3 days or just 2 longer days.From what I saw of other classes, the size ranges from about 6 people to 10 or so. It is small enough to get good individual instruction, and large enough to have some other cool people to learn with.I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to take a class. I am considering going back and taking a more advanced class in the future.

Great place to learn to ride! Jeff and Ron (instructors) are a couple of great guys. They made learning great and easy. Thank you both!

Loved this class. I personally was very nervous to take this course as I had never been on a motorcycle before, but this class gave me extreme confidence in riding. In just two days, I went from not even knowing how to start a bike, to being ready for the road. Martin and Donna were amazing instructors and their personal experience showed their knowledge and love for riding. Some people needed a little more time training but the pace of the class was just right. It was nice having Rachel sit in for this class while learning how to become an instructor. Her advise and feedback was really helpful and comforting.

Took the MSF course with instructors Jim and Dan, they were both fabulous. Jim was very personable and gave lots of encouragement. Dan took a little bit to warm up to the students but he was super awesome and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend taking the MSF with Evergreen Safety Council!

The Basic Motorcycle Course, with instructors Jeff and Dan is absolutely top notch! Even if you have no interest in riding around on two wheels, I would take the course just for the wealth of incredible info. you will get, the hilarious and fun tempo of the instructors, and the chance to ride most types of bikes in a safe and fun environment. Try them out and have a fun weekend!

Good class

The basic motorcycle course was well taught in the classroom and out in the field. The on-bike training was excellent. Safety and proper motorcycle handling skills are the emphasis. Learned things I never knew even as a rider with a couple of years of experience. Loved the instructors. They gave practical advice for riding in all types of areas in and different weather conditions. Ive signed up for another course!

I’ve taken three motorcycle safety classes through them and have always enjoyed the experience. The instructors and well trained and a joy to work with. I will definitely be using the again next year!!!

I purchased a Harley Trike and have experience riding but to be honest, I thought it was ridiculous spending two full days in a class. Thankfully, my friends encouraged me to attend. I spent two days with Dan and Jim learning many things I didnt know while being able to practice and get more comfortable on the trike. They prepared me for the what ifs. I left feeling that this course should be mandatory. ESC is fantastic! I highly encourage even an experienced rider to take it!

After not having ridden a motorcycle for 4 years, I decided to take the beginner motorcycle course to brush up on safety and skills. The morning class was good, and I did indeed learn a couple of new things, but was eventually dismissed from the course due to a very reasonable scheduling misunderstanding (See full story below). To keep things short, the instructor changed both the time and duration of lunch but did not clearly communicate the changes to the class. As a result, I showed up 5 minutes late when I thought I was showing up 20 minutes early. I was not issued a refund and to retake the course I would have to re-pay the class fee.When I signed up for the course, I received a class schedule that indicates which hours Id be spending in a classroom vs out on the course. On this schedule, it showed that students would have an hour for lunch in between the classroom and course sessions. However, before lunch our instructor noted that students without helmets (all but myself and one other student) should arrive 15 minutes early to select a helmet.Our instructor ended up letting the class out early for lunch at 10:54. The words I heard were be back at 11:45 which I took to mean be back 15 minutes early to pick up your helmets. Being a very punctual person, I arrived back from lunch at 11:40, even though I already had a helmet. Based on my understanding, I was arriving 20 minutes early and was prepared to sit around while folks selected their helmets. Unfortunately, that wasnt the case, and as I pulled into class I saw most of the students sitting on motorcycles outside.I quickly put on my helmet and made my way to the class, but as I arrived the instructor signaled me to join him at the front of the class. There, I was informed that I was late and would not be permitted to continue the course. When I let him know it wasnt even 11:45 yet, he informed me that lunch was only 45 minutes, even if we already had a helmet, and that class had let out before 11.This misunderstanding could have been easily avoided if the instructor had just followed the class schedule. If he had not ended class at an unusual time (10:54) and allowed students the full hour that the schedule specified, this wouldnt have happened. What really upsets me is that he didnt wait just a few more minutes for myself and the other student that was late. Given all the changes he made to the schedule, it seemed perfectly reasonable that someone might misunderstand what time we were supposed to be back from lunch. After all, the class was WAY ahead of schedule... its not as if they couldnt afford to wait for 5 more minutes for those who misunderstood.Being the extremely punctual person I am, this was a very upsetting experience. Again, I thought I was showing up early only to be penalized for a reasonable misunderstanding. I dont yet know if Ill have to re-pay for the course, but regardless, its unlikely I will attend again - we already get enough BS from the DOL, I dont need more of it from the Evergreen Safety Council.UPDATE: I called their office to ask for a refund, but was told they could not issue refunds despite the unfortunate misunderstanding. Instead, I was offered a discounted rate to re-take the class, which I declined.

I had a great experience in the Basic Rider Course with ESC. Jim and Jeff were excellent instructors - clear, communicative, encouraging, knowledgeable, engaging, and empathetic. They were also compassionate with regard to a few students tardiness, much more so than other reviewers have experienced. There was another instructor/manager (Dan? not sure) who was evaluating Jim during my course, and I got the impression that he would not have been as understanding, so look through these reviews for names and check whos teaching a course before you register.

Took my Basic Rider Course here to get my motorcycle endorsement. I feel like the course was very well-tailored for the new rider. The topics you cover and the practice were very practical and I cant imagine trying to just pick up riding without going through this course.I imagine the course is pretty standard, but I was very impressed with the instructors here. Dan and... oh drat... the other guy.... well, Dan and the other guy were fun and approachable with many years of riding experience. Very impressed overall.Dont mind the constant light pot smell - turns out this is across the street from a dispensary/novelty shop.

Very professiona,l knowledgeable, technical and very thorough. I learned things about riding a trike inside cars and other rigs that is invaluable. handss on training and the practical was made to be fun and also very serious at the same time. I enjoyed it immensely. instructor Dan Webber is excellent.

Course instructor started picking on me right from the start. I had zero motorcycle riding experience coming in and wanted to learn the ropes but I was never given a choice. Jeff apparently did not like my accent, ignored some of my questions and stated that I had a language barrier. This is the first time I have heard this expression applied to me in my many years of residing in US. Instead of explaining the concept and then letting person practice Jeff wanted me to get along with the program and made repeated threats to kick me out. This was very discouraging and demotivating. Still I felt I was able to keep up and never bumped into anyone or failed any of the tests. In fact there were none; however, it seemed every single exercise was some kind of test in Jeffs eyes. I felt I never got sufficient time to practice because Jeff expected for everyone to move along so he could dismiss the class by 4:30 pm at the end of the day instead of published end time of 6 pm. That was his personal goal he stated at the very beginning. One apparent example of Jeff showing me clear disrespect was our last interaction where he invited me to come over with his index finger rather than calling me by name or coming over by himself. Jeff asked how I was feeling about the program and I replied that my main goal was to try out motorcycle riding and that he was stressing me out by continuously passing judgements and not letting me practice. I also told him that I did not particularly care if I was going to get the certification but I wanted to evaluate my overall experience with the motorcycle and hence asked him to continue letting me practice. That was the last straw for Jeff. He said that I should have picked a different course and that this class was moving much faster than I was prepared for. He told me I should call the academy and ask to be rescheduled for another class that would take all of these steps in slow sequence. With this he made me sign the bottom of the pink sheet in front of classmates adding to my humiliation factor and stating this was the only condition I would get any credit for the money I paid. When I contacted the company the following weekday I was refused any refund.

Great learning environment with well paced lessons and skilled, knowledgeable instructors. I took the three wheel class and it was very informative.

Passed my flagger rectification class

Excellent instruction and adequate equipment. Great place to complete your motorcycle endorsement training.

Instructor was very articulate. The best flagging class I have ever had .

Take your business elsewhere. I was warned that they do make people repeat to make more money but I realized that when I was turned away for being 4 minutes late to a class in my third day. Would have hoped for people here to be more considerate of others time as well. Id recommend Pacific Northwest as they have subsidised rate for weekends as well. Its a longer commute for me but I can afford it on weekends and wont have to miss work.

Awesome learning adventure. Always professional.

Class was fair ... You can achieve the same by studying the Washington State Motorcycles guide and challenging the test

I recently took the Intermediate Rider Training and it was excellent. The instructor was knowledgable and professional. Well worth the money. I recommend this to any one who wants to improve their riding level and safety.

Excellent organization. Evergreen Motorcycle Training. Superb experience.

Great class with Jim Sull and Dan. The drivers ed was also great but unfortunately they discontinued it. Doug Erickson was the man.

Ive just completed the Basic Riders Course with Rob and Jeff.It was above my expectations. Im amazed at how much I improved in two days. The class totaled 16 hours not counting lunch. We spent 9 of those hours on the bikes.My class had many first-time riders including myself and 9/10 of us passed.The tardiness policy and gear requirements are not a joke. Plan to arrive needlessly early each day. Read the gear requirements on the website carefully so that you dont get dropped from the course for having improper gear. Take particular care with footwear. Lace-up leather boots that cover the ankle are best, but at the very least avoid slip-ons with nylon over the ankle or heels.

Used the facilities as part of my motorcycle safety class. Good classrooms and they have a snack machine.

Evergreen Safety had its ups and downs.I explained to the desk my skill level and they suggested intermediate. After careful consideration I joined that class.The theory part of class started out well and went over street tactics and lightly touched upon the fundamentals.The bike I received was in sub-par condition. I did however ask for a Ninja 250 and rather nicely they found one for me. I would, next time let the pick of the draw happen. Im sure I would have gotten a better bike as the class was small.Things moved at a fairly advanced pace in the street course. Dont join intermediate unless you feel you ARE already riding with confidence. It isnt for those who are long removed from riding. The teacher was unclear about several things: I thought I was waved to move once, some commands and explainations were vague. When the teacher confronted me about certain things he was a bit unprofessionally gruff and terse. It stole my confidence.All in all I would have taken the basic course, wade through ALOT of things I have a firm grasp on and do the road test at a more confidence inspiring pace.2.5/5 stars.

Good place to take a test. Really quiet and good reception

Just did the motorcycle Beginner Safty drive course and I loved it. First time on a bike, instructor very professional, safety first but with a lot of fun!

Took the msf, great instruction. Loved the class. Now I have my motorcycle endorsement

Various services offered within safety industry. From Motorcycle training, CPR, flagger certification among a myriad of offerings. Very professional instructors and good facility.The motorcycle training is based on MSF and is very well organized and taught by veteran instructors who know their stuff.

If you disagree with Clarey Maus, vindictiveness begins to become her guiding light. Her focus turns to manipulation of circumstances in order to harm your business or your career. No way the State of Washington should do business with a place that puts someone guided by narcissism, vindictiveness in a position to harm a persons business and reputation. No arbitration, no time taken in the class you pay $600 for to explain that 1 clerical error will cost you your business. How can a place who turns out flaggers that cant use radios, understand scope of work, the equipment on jobsites. Hold a person to perfection, when they are putting unqualified people on the road? No oversight and no competition. Thats why a business would move to an area far away from any union or the majority of workers needing the training the State allows them to have a monopoly on. Kirkland. How many flaggers live near Kirkland or Kirkland is s convenient location for? Probably less than 5%. But when youre allowed a monopoly, you can do all kinds of things that cause hardworking business owners their business. My real sin was not bowing down to Clarey Maus as she was yelling at me. Guess she knew she could be unprofessional, dishonest, even argumentative. All she has to do is lie and misrepresent the truth. Coincidentally after avoiding me for 3 weeks. The day she responded coincidentally was the last day this year I could have relicenced with ATSSSA. She knew what she was doing. She knew my business would be harmed and not until next year could I relicense with another agency. Not a coincidence at all. She said, when she was yelling at me that she would show me. With the blessing of Pemco insurance, Sound Transit, the Local Union halls and the State of Washington Clarely Maus is allowed to lie, scream , manipulate the truth and harm business owners that disagree with her. Im tired of big business stepping and manipulating us small contractors. Lookup Bothell Little Creek Interceptor project. I caught big business using union prevail workers at day and Temp services at not and not paying prevail. These things happen when people are put into positions their temperment and moral compass arent prepared for. Im angry, but honest. Im tired as a small minority contractor of being held to a standard the agency that has a monopoly with the State doesnt come close to reaching. As a minority contractor why is my fate always in the hands of people that have issues with me or similar? Clarey Maus is unprofessional and not the most honest person. She definitely wasnt in her dealins with me. Then to wait to the day she knows i cant relicence my business with another agency until next year, shows that she went out of her way to harm a business that as a single father i have put all my finances effort and energy into. Had i know my business was in the hands of 1 person who displayed questionable business practices, id have learn to cook or something other than this industry. Who knew in the big State 1 person could pick and choose who can be licensed and who couldnt. My sin was training my own on call flaggers. Im not allowed to do it, but temp services can. And as Bothell Little Creek Interceptor project shows, little flagging company owners like myself are susceptible to falling Victim to the Clarey Maus, Laborworks, Fowler type companies. Smh.

Took the Motorcycle BRT training with Evergreen. Instructors were knowledgeable and great at coaching. The course material was amazing too.

The instructors are extremely fun and knowledgeable. I would recommend this to anyone that would like to get their motorcycle endorsement

Staff was decent the course was clean my instructor was very friendly and informative which made things go smoothly.

Great place to get certified

I gave a two star only because some of my questions were answered, however the manner in which my questions were answered was rather unfriendly and almost annoyed. I had more questions to ask them because they provide little information or unclear information on their website, but they just hung up the phone as I was saying I have one more question. It wasnt a disconnection because the lady on the phone just continue saying Okay, bye. Just really unwilling to help and it really does seem like they do not enjoy their job and it shows.

Best place to get your endorsement!

Very well educated people take a safety course and theyre very good cuz they all pass some fail but they all pass

Excellent school

Very helpful, kind and knowledgeable! 💙

I think most people on here have contact with ESC for thier motorcycle training course, but I use them for a variety of industrial safety training services.My companies relationship with the organization is new, but so far the service weve gotten has been exceptional! To be, a lot of providers offer the same services, and the big differentiator is the customer service side.If i have to call a million times just to get something inched forward, I will not be maintaining that relationship. When you have a kickass admin team that respond in a reasonable time, then thats the group for me.Well so far ESC have gone above my best expectations, and communications with them have been exceptional.Ill update this review as we continue to work together, but so far Im impressed.

Excellent place to get your motorcycle license

Excellent motorcycle safety courses here! Hifgly recommended for every rider, its packed with valuable information as well as fun!

I took the beginners class yesterday it is a two day course. I only rode a bike once in my life. I was told an hour before the first class is over that they are releasing me because Im not good enough to continue. Did I mention this was the beginners course? Asked how Im suppose to get better and they said take the class over. How is that going to make me better if you release me before class is over, then on top of that they steal your money and dont refund any of it. It felt like they didnt want to really take the time to help me succeed. I wouldnt recommend this company, unless you already have experience and you need your endorsement. Now Im going to get my permit and practice on my own then will go take the test. Thanks Evergreen Safety Council for absolutely nothing.

Took part in the Basic riders course. Great instructors, good equipment and an amazing learning experience!

What a trip they make you drive (WA DOL) to get here but very accommodating once you finally arrive. This is the ONLY place you can do walk-in endorsement testing. Skills tests and written endorsements may be at other evergreen centers in the state by APPOINTMENT Im not sure though. Well thats not their fault, its our states.I was told that Friday would be open all day for skills testing and arrived around 3:00pm and then was told they only do walk-ins on Friday at 10:00am sharp. Wow talk about a tight schedule in a single location for a whole state! But they worked me in and I think the guy even stuck around late for me and one other guy, nice of him when he could have just left us to come next week 10am on the dot. I ended up waiting around for 2 hours but its ok. I did not see anywhere or was I told walk-ins would only be done at 10am and the other guy said the same thing so watch out for that. They might still accommodate you depending on schedules but take note.

I called to get info for two wheel skills test. The lady on the phone was very short and rude. She knew absolutely nothing about testing, and the few things she did know was a waste of her time to share them with you. If you need a testing site I suggest anyone but this one.

Great place to take safety classes.

The receptionist was helpful, but their teaching staff is where they shine: The four that Ive met were awesome, helpful and funny, in other words great teachers.

I-9 verification was fast and easy. Took maybe 10min total.

I took the BRC in West Seattle. It was both very informative, and very entertaining. It seems I learned some bad habits when I first rode on the mid-80s. (I hadnt been on a bike for nearly 30 years, so BRC seemed the way to go.) Corrections were made, cornering improved, and feeling the bike was achieved.If you have doubts about whether to take the 1-day or the 2-day course, go with the 2-day. I probably could have passed on the 1-day; I nailed the test with the extra coaching the 2-day allowed.

Great people to work with you.

The day class for traffic control supervisor course was horrible..Heater was on full blast with a full class complaining with no results..instructor reminded me of the teacher off of Ferris buehler dry and boring..you can count on this instructor for one thing the greatest sleep of your life

Gave me a defective bike that couldnt go into neutral, and kicked me out when I had issues on it. Also gave the heaviest bike to the smallest person (me). It was supposed to be a basic training class but they didnt teach me anything before kicking me out. If I dont know anything in a beginner class, thats kind of to be expected, and why I paid you to teach me. Instead they gave me defective, unsafe equipment and then faulted me when it had issues.

This school didnt allow me to Test on the second day because I was 4 minutes late. This greedy scam of a school isnt worth a foodstamp Dont waste your money. Find another school.

I took IRC yesterday and its excellent! Jeff and his coworker(sorry forget his name, Michel or ?) taught me a lot of skills especially how to use clutch, throttle and brake when taking turns, quick stop and avoid hazard, its very very helpful. Like Jeffs words, we have a lot of fun in the course.But I still want to highlight its my 2nd time taking this course to get an endorsement in this school, I failed written and skill test both in the first time. That time Rob(Im not sure this is his name, maybe Bob?) is my couch, hes a nice old man, but his class didnt focus on the BRC book, just a mess of his experience, its good but not helpfull to pass the written test. And Robs skill couch is also not good enough, he didnt taught details like what Jeff taught how to use clutch brake and throttle. Yes, I know guys taking IRC should be aware of that, but to pass skill tests need special guide on these details. And Rob also didnt noticed I pulled clutch always when passing corners.

Got my Traffic Control Instructor Card renewed.

I had a very good experience with the staff and the facilities.

The people here are so helpful..

Love these people great Instructors

Great training orograms

Great place for motorcycle trike Training!!

Did not have test working for 2 weeks prior but allowed scheduling. I wrote the owner to get a response and compensation but Tom the owner failed to respond.

This is the place to get a motorcycle endorsement

While the location and building itself is Horrendous the Staff is great

I went to Evergreen safety to get my TCS certification card.

Great place, great staff.

Good motorcycle safety class

Excellent schooling for returning motorcyclist

Great training.

I took their beginner motorcycle course and I cant imagine being a safe rider without it. It was cheap too.

Great safety training

Same story as Daniel,In official doc it was given class will start at 12. The theory ended up early near about 10:30 and instructor told us to reach next class near about 11:30.I reached at 11:35, but still declined the entry to the class.It seems like class was started much before as everyone was having helmet and already given instructions.

Great place, great people

Great training facility

Great instructors.
