Dealing with this school has been one of the worst customer experiences in my life. Ever. Period…read more I took a class that was run by a rushed instructor at Queens Community College, named JP, in the month of September. He split his time between instructing us (yelling really) and his instructors-in-training (again yelling.) The class ended up running very late due to a delayed start by the instructor (he was spending his time arguing with a student) and another class was waiting to begin toward the middle of our instruction. I, being the slowest learner in the group, ended up being cut around the time that the new class showed up. I didn't have an issue with this in itself, but it's ridiculous for a first-time motorcycle user (what this class is supposed to be geared toward) to lose out on a lesson he paid for due to a class running late. I was even asked by JP whether I had ever ridden a motorcycle or used a manual transmission during my training (not something I was required to do.) After that I spoke to the manager about my issue and he assured me that I wouldn't have to worry given my experience and that I had a year to re-take another class. The manager was very nice and understanding about my situation, but I haven't heard from him again since that call. Instead, I've been dealing with the absolutely awful office staff. Why do I say awful? For the following: I've been calling them since September about re-taking a class and they told me not to worry because they'd get back to me when an opening came up. I trusted them on that and they never took time to reach out to me. I was worried on whether they had forgotten about me so I would try to call once a month and would be reassured on whether they had an opening. Come January I called again and had to go through the whole process of reminding them of who I am and my interest in retaking the course. The speaker, who seemed confused in her explanations, immediately recited their policy about how I should've taken another class within the 2015 timeframe ( three months) and that I would not be getting another chance or my money back (I just wanted another chance.) The office made no attempt to understand my issue, but was really quick to point out that was done is done and I'm the loser in this situation. This just makes no sense to me. A policy in which you can only re-take a class within a calendar year would mean anyone taking a class in December has no chance of getting their money back if they fail while someone in January has a huge amount of days. How can you even justify paying the same amount for a class in those two time periods if there are such different benefits connected? In addition, my calls would always be answered with a "we'll get back to you at such and such date" and then I'd rarely receive said call. This leads me to believe that there just wasn't an attempt by Trama's to ever get me another class; especially since the original class I took wasn't even full. Overall, I HATE HATE HATE dealing with this place. It has the WORST customer service I've ever dealt with in my LIFE. I'm just about give up and eat what I paid just so I don't have to get the run-around from them again. The office is slow to call you back, but quick to make you know they aren't paying you back. If you want to actually learn how to ride a motorcycle; save yourself some time and avoid Trama. ****** After talking to them some more to fix my situation; they started lying by saying I was given multiple chances to retake and refused. I get this is a huge review and all, but I can't emphasize enough how bad this experience has been for me.

I took the Basic Rider Course with Eric, who now runs the school, and it was a great experience…read more The in-class time is spent more as a group discussion as opposed to a didactic session--it helps keep everyone awake who has driven in at 8AM. Everything is straightforward. For the practical course, it was one of the hottest weeks this past summer; imagine having to wear long sleeves, jeans, boots, gloves, and a helmet in 90F weather! Eric and rider coach JP made sure to keep everyone hydrated with frequent breaks and supplied water. Riding a motorcycle is a lot easier than I thought but it still took a lot of practice for the manoeuvres on which we were tested. Both Eric and JP don't mind spending extra time with students that need a little more help before the course or during breaks, which is really useful. They are really attentive to making sure nobody gets injured and try to do their best to teach you as best as they can so that you pass; if you don't pass the first time, you are welcome to come back for a retest.

They emailed me a reminder and said I could bring my mom (I have horrible sciatica since my c section and if I'm on the floor too long my legs go numb), so that was nice. This is located in the basement of a temple. Parking is in the back and around, so use your strollers. There is a ramp so that is super helpful. You'll enter a basement that has a few rooms and a central area, as well as a bathroom with a changing table. All good things. We were ushered to a room that had a foam piece floor to sit around and a table with tiny chairs to the side. We sat on the floor and sang some songs. For itsy bitsy spider the teacher came around with a small plush spider and gently rubbed it on each child. As a first time mom I did not like that. Happily she touched my daughters leg but some kids faces... not into it. Then after a few typical kids songs we stood up (well my mom took my daughter) and did a run around song around the table. After we were brought to the main room for free play. The main room had carpets and many toys to play with. I was concerned with the cleanliness of the toys as ya know, babies put everything in their mouth. I was assured they were clean, still I didn't let my daughter put her mouth on anything. As we sat there a man, presumably from the temple walked through the back doors through the room, I didn't like that. I'm sure it's fine, but being a first time mom I don't like a space that's shared for children's activities. We went back into the classroom for a story. After the story the session ended. We walked through the main room and an older group of kids were playing with the free play toys...they came in right after we went out so I don't like how they weren't cleaned in between or the dirty toys removed. At the time I wasn't sure what to think. Maybe all mommy and me's were like that and me as a first time mom was being too cautious, however after going to others, I have seen dirty toys being removed or teachers coming in with a bin asking parents, "if you have dirty toys please place them In this bin so we can wash them." I think that would have made a big difference for me. I forget how much this was for a quarter year session... 299 or 399? Either way it wasn't for us, but give it a try if you're ok with all the above. The teachers were very nice.
