The BRCu Skill Eval application facilitates the BRCu, BRC2u-LW and 3WBRC Skill Evaluation performed at the end of the MSF Basic RiderCourse by an active MSF-certified RiderCoach. Please note that you must be a certified, and active, Motorcycle Safety Foundation RiderCoach to receive any benefit from the use of this application. If you do not have a valid RETSORG account, it would be a waste of your time and resources to install this app. Rather than use the paper score sheet with a clipboard, pencil, and stopwatch, the app allows a certified RiderCoach to score the evaluation completely electronically. Scoring is assessed by tapping controls on the iPhone or iPad screen, with a logical progression of scoring screens provided throughout the evaluation. For evaluations 3, 4, and 5, an on-screen stopwatch is provided, but you are not required to use it – the time can be entered manually if you choose to do so. The Standard Distance for evaluation 3 is calculated automatically. During the skill evaluation, a student’s score is continually updated and displayed on that student’s evaluation page so that the RiderCoach has an immediate view of that student’s status. At the end of the evaluation, each student's score can be reviewed with the student (using an individual score sheet display on screen), and a standard MSF score sheet (individual, or group, or both) can be produced with the necessary annotations. This PDF form can be printed, shared, filed, etc. using standard iOS features. A subscription is required to use the features of this app. Upon first launch, subscription options are offered from which to choose an appropriate subscription for your needs. (Note that you must have an active internet connection for the purchase offer and purchase completion to succeed.) If you only coach occasionally (e.g. two classes a year), the "Good for a day" non-renewing subscription may be all you need. It allows the user to use the app for 24 hours from the time of purchase, but does NOT automatically renew at the end of that 24-hour subscription period. The other subscription options include monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually. All of these auto-renewing subscriptions offer the first month of usage for free, to allow you to evaluate the app to determine if it is appropriate for your needs. Each will auto-renew at the end of the subscription period, using the payment method you have associated with your App Store account. You can change or terminate your subscription at any time up to 24 hours before the end of your subscription using your device's subscription management features in the Setting app. After selecting the appropriate subscription, I recommend spending a little time becoming familiar with the behavior of the app, versus learning to use it on-the-fly during a live evaluation. Rudimentary instructions are provided on the Preferences screen for the individual scenes provided in the app describing the behavior and navigation of each one. Benefits of using the app vs. paper/clipboard/stopwatch: • Eliminate score sheets flying around in the breeze. • Calculate scores automatically and reduce mathematical errors. • Eliminate possibility of the paper score sheet getting wet and unusable. (However, you should still be concerned about the water resistance of your device.) • Correct errors more cleanly. • Reduce possibility of transposing scores into the wrong column on the group score sheet. Thank you for considering the use of my contribution to motorcycle safety training, and for your efforts in the advancement of the sport that we love.
Must have app for MSF RCs
Quick and easy to navigate and use. It keeps a record. I use it on iPad and IPhone. When done with test I can export and email it to our admin folks who complete the course packets. Easy to do all from the phone. Now just have the app on MacBook too and I’m all set. I am a site administrator and I use it to input a digital record of all my coaches classes. Absolutely love it. Well worth your time. Works in all weather conditions.
Reduces paperwork.
I use the app each time teaching. Helps me get over poor handwriting. I usually scribble. But this is easy to use and send via email or text before even leaving the range. Nice tool.
Great alternative to paper and clipboard
This BRC evaluation scoring utility is very easy to use, is flexible enough to allow different viewing formats, and is very convenient to use. With a water resistant phone and a wireless printer in the classroom it is easy to score tests in the rain and then have a clear, legible, scoresheet waiting in the classroom. Students seem to be less bothered by the presence of a phone or iPad than of the clipboard. When using the phone I do let the riders know that it’s a scoring tool, that I’m not sending messages or viewing how-to-ride videos on YouTube. This tool is well thought out, easy to use, and gets the task done.
Fantastic
I have been using this app for about a year and a half. It is absolutely fantastic. You can email and or print the eval sheet to place in your records or to send to the site manager/owner. You can complete the BRC, BRC2 and 3 wheel on this app. One of the best features is the built in timer for eval 3, 4 and 5. With the quick stop the app automatically adds the standard footage, all you have to do is add the actual footage and you’re done speeding up the this eval tremendously. Plus, no scribbles, no rain drops, no rewriting and if you accidentally tap on something, just tap again and it clears it off. I will continue to use this app as long as I am a coach.
BRCu Skills Eval App
This App is the best thing that has been added to Coaches tool belts since…….well ever!! The ease of use, whether it’s cold, hot, dry or wet as long as your smart phone or tablet can take the changes in weather, the App is the way to go! The App also takes care of all the math within the 3 timed Skill Tests (#3, 4 and 5)! You can then meet individually with each student and show them their score and only theirs!! No more needing to cover other students results. The App makes every Coaches penmanship legible! A win win all around!!
Easy to navigate
Being a relatively new coach and a tech savvy guy, I look for ways to not have to use paperwork with my non-legible handwriting. This app is awesome and easy to use. It does the mathematical things for you so those that have difficulty properly scoring you can rest assured it will be correct.
The app you need as a RiderCoach
I was lucky enough to beta test this app and it’s everything I’ve needed for coaching. The app is well thought out and super user friendly. You can easily swipe from student to student or eval to eval. There’s a timer right in the app so you don’t even need to juggle a stopwatch. Distance standards are auto-populated and testing goes smoothly from student to student, even when coaching solo. Another great feature is the ability to show individual scores without showing all at once or worrying about covering scores. At the end of the eval, all data is put in a PDF of the MSF Skill Evaluation Score Sheet. Definitely worth the download.
The page displaying the various subscription options would sometimes get confused about which price to apply to which subscription. The page has been educated, and should no longer experience befuddlement.
