If you're interested in learning to ride a bike, scooter, or tricycle this school is 100% worth your time and money! Thank you again to the legends: Chris and Pete for hanging out in the heat all day with us newbs and teaching us what you're passionate about!!

The instructors are incredibly inconsistent, and it often feels as though students are being set up to fail rather than being given a fair opportunity to succeed. The feedback is some of the most inconsistent and unreasonable I have ever encountered. Expectations seem to change depending on the instructor, making the entire process frustrating and unfair. The instructors brag about failing kids, what a joke. I am genuinely taken aback by how poorly this company is run. Based on my experience, I would never recommend this company. Save yourself the frustration and find another option.

Before I took the class, I was pretty intimidated by the idea of riding a motorcycle. By the end of…read morethe weekend, I left feeling confident, prepared, and excited to continue learning. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in making every student a safer rider. Liz (owner) may come across as a little rough around the edges at first, but it's obvious that everything she does comes from a place of genuinely wanting every student to ride safely and make it home at the end of the day. She pushes you because she cares, and I really appreciate that. She quickly assessed my learning style and helped me get through some challenges I was having. The riding exercises built confidence one step at a time, the feedback was clear and constructive, and safety was always the top priority. The course was well organized, challenging in all the right ways, and even a lot of fun. I highly recommend Shift Happens Motorcycle Safety Course to anyone thinking about learning to ride or earning their motorcycle endorsement. If I could give 10 stars, I would! If you're on the fence, just do it! It's worth it!

Amazing class! We had Luke as an instructor for a chilly…read moreweekend class in mid December. Luke was a wealth of knowledge. Full of great tricks and tips that really stick with you. I still find myself remembering little sayings that help me remember tricks to stay safe. Luke was patient, kind, but also pushed us to be our best, and always stressed safety above all else. The class was structured toward success for all students and made me feel welcome and supported. I left feeling so glad I took the class, a much safer rider, and much more ready to begin my motorcycling life! Thanks Luke!

There were other programs that I researched (both in Colorado and out-of-state) and Michael's programs was the best fit. The course was contoured for SCCA racing and my previous driving experience. The program focused on track safety, driving technique, race-craft, and competive driving. The course work included both traditional/fundamental instruction and lessons from his tenure racing SCCA. Michael is a great instructor, very personable, and a great resource - no regrets with taking the program and highly recommended if you are looking to gain an edge on other racers.

Very disappointing experience. There is an old adage: Just because someone knows how to do…read moresomething doesn't mean that he knows how to teach that skill to others. BSOFA is a prime example. A teacher, who, though pleasant, has no ability to teach. I took a beginner's class. (Though except for myself, there were no other beginners in the class. They clearly all had some level of experience.) The teacher would do a twenty-second demonstration (no exaggeration) of something, then expect everyone to immediately know how to do that thing perfectly. It was beyond frustrating. First class, I could tell that I wasn't executing the skill correctly. It was exceedingly obvious that my canvas looked nothing like the other, experienced students' canvases. But though the instructor walked around the table looking at the canvases, for multiple hours, he never said a word about mine. Never proactively provided any constructive criticism. He just let me flounder around for hours without any guidance. (He did interact more with the students who were doing better. There were about eight of us total.) Next class, I decided to make him provide some feedback. (Unsuccessfully, as it turned out.) I would stop him as he walked by, ask him to look at my canvas, and ask for feedback. He was non-committal. (Pleasant, but not helpful.) I would then point out something on the canvas, and say, this isn't right, is it? And he would sort of agree. But he never offered to show me how to do the skill correctly, or provide anything but a vague comment. During that class, I must have stopped him a half-dozen times, if not more, to ask for feedback, but received essentially none. By the third class, I had mostly given up. I listened, trying to glean as much as possible from the twenty-second demonstrations, but unfortunately accepted the reality that the teacher had no ability to actually teach. Again, the teacher was pleasant. But he was also a passive, low-energy person who clearly had zero ability to teach a skill to students. And, oddly, the less experienced the student, the more uncomfortable and non-interactive he became. In a beginner's class. BSOFA makes no sense. Do they not understand? People take classes because they want to learn. They pay good money to attend classes because they want to learn. Allowing a beginner to flounder, with minimal guidance, in a beginner's class is not only unacceptable, but actually a little cruel. BSOFA takes a positive, eager, happy-to-be-there student, and turns her into someone who never wants to experience any of it ever again.

Everyone at RefactorU was great - the instructors, administrators, community engagement planners -…read morethey are all wonderful. RefactorU throws a lot of information at you in a short time, but in a really well-structured way so that you actually have time to learn it all, and learn it all well. I'm astounded by how much I learned, and how dedicated the instructors were to supporting our experience: from TAs who come in on the weekends to offer help, to being responsive when not-totally-kosher sexist jokes were being made in class (hey, it's the tech industry, right?). They organize events with employers and recruiters to help you make connections. They know they only succeed when their students succeed, and they are all about that. My only complaint is that, being as successful as they are, they have been growing a lot, and for my personal learning style, our class was too big. We had 33 people, so there were quite a few of us sharing the instructors' attention. It was also often a very loud work environment (33 people in one room), which for me usually meant having to choose between leaving and going somewhere quiet to get work done, or being in a room where I have access to help from instructors and classmates. Overall, I'm glad I went and really impressed by what they accomplish as a school. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.
