One of our coaches will work with you to build on your riding skills using material from the Motorcycle Roadcraft handbook along with their personal experience and training. They will organise a variety of different rides of a duration that you’re comfortable with to develop those skills and also encourage you to understand technical aspects of riding and the key riding aids that may be fitted to your bike.
As we cover such a large area you may need to travel to meet your coach who as they are an unpaid volunteer we ask that you contribute £20 per session to them to cover their fuel and bike costs.
Once you feel that you’re ready to take the RoSPA test you apply via the RoSPA website and pay their test fee. An examiner will usually contact you within a couple of weeks.Information about the RoSPA test can be found by clicking here
