MMI’s Motorcycle Technician Training program covers the essentials for making repairs and maintaining motorcycles and powersports equipment, including ATVs, side-by-sides and personal watercraft. Students apply their knowledge with comprehensive hands-on experience in real-world scenarios to train in areas such as suspension tuning, fuel injection and diagnostics.
