Further and Advanced Training

Apart from BikeSense there are many organisations that offer further training, with advanced options, to develop your skills and make you a better and safer rider.

For Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent residents who have attended our BikeSense Rider Development day there is a subsidy of £50 available on the IAM, RoSPA and ERS schemes.. See the BikeSense page for more information.

Below is a short overview that will help you find the right training to suit your needs:

  • Enhanced Rider Scheme (ERS)
    ERS is a bespoke riding course aimed at motorcyclists looking to take the step into advanced training. The Enhanced Rider Scheme created by the DVSA will improve your safety and enjoyment levels by taking your skills on to the next level.

  • IAM RoadSmart ‘Advanced Rider’ Course
    An on-road advanced motorcycling course delivered by trained volunteers that gives you greater confidence and a
    feeling of safety when you ride on Britain’s roads.
    Once you’ve developed these skills, you’ll be ready to prove them in the advanced test.

  • RoSPA Advanced Motorcycling Test

  • BMF
    The aim of the course is to assist experienced motorcyclists to improve their riding skills and therefore increase the enjoyment they get out of motorcycling. The course seeks to encourage you to think about why?, and what? you are doing when you are riding, to be self-critical and to be able to recognise your own strengths and weaknesses.
