It's like unto a vaccination: once is all that's really required, but it
doesn't hurt to get a booster shot on occasion.

From what I was told by MSF teachers, you take the course on your own
bike and do some group riding to learn those techniques. They
suggested getting 5K mi under your belt first on your own bike.
