Our Advanced Riding Foundation course is designed to give you a thorough understanding of advanced riding principles and how they are applied to common road and traffic situations.
It is a combined theory and practical course, with an online course in Motorcycle Roadcraft followed by a day and a half of on-road instruction, which are spaced at least a week apart to allow you to practice between sessions.
This course also covers all the Core Modules of the DVSA Enhanced Rider Scheme, so completion of this course should result in you being awarded an official DVSA Certificate of ERS Completion (we say “should” because you will need to demonstrate riding to ERS standard at the end of the course!).
All 7 Enhanced Rider Scheme Core Modules covered by this course:
- Structured planned approach to riding
- Defensive riding and hazard awareness
- Progress and use of speed
- Overtaking – filtering
- Bends and corners
- Slow control
- Developing the correct rider attitude
At the end of this course your riding should be of a standard that equates to an IAM Roadsmart Pass or RoSPA Bronze.

On-Road Day One
We will schedule day-one of the practical element of the course once you have completed the first 3 chapters of the Online Motorcycle Roadcraft course, which are:
- Chapter 1 : Becoming a Better Rider
- Chapter 2 : The System of Motorcycle Control
- Chapter 3 : Information, Observation and Anticipation
This first riding day will look at putting the System into practice in a variety of road and traffic situations, including Urban roads, Dual-Carriageways and Motorways, Rural roads and will look at dealing with Junctions, Roundabouts, Bends and Corners, Overtaking and Filtering, etc.
On-Road Half-Day Review and Recap
We will schedule a follow-up half-day on-road session at least a week after the first on-road day. The purpose of this session is to review how well you are applying the System and to put in place an action plan for ongoing self-learning, allowing you to continue to improve your riding without our instructor being present.
