What is Advanced Riding?
Whichever aspect of riding you’re looking to improve, our motorcycle training brings your skills up to an advanced level, helping you to control the position and speed of your bike with skill and responsibility.
Advanced Riding is based on the Police system of motorcycle control, and our course teaches you advanced-level motorbike skills and riding techniques used by the emergency services. This includes utilising the ‘limit point’ for bends and how to continually apply the ‘IPSGA’ (Information, Position, Speed, Gear, Acceleration) framework to all on-road situations.
How does the course work? 5 simple steps...
1. Purchase your course and receive a welcome pack in the post
2. You’ll be paired with one of our Local Groups who will be in touch

Why join IAM RoadSmart?
At IAM RoadSmart, we exist to improve the standards of driving and riding on Britain's roads by increasing skills development through education and coaching. We also inform and influence the government and key decision-makers.
The main benefit of taking the course is to ultimately enhance your riding skills which in turn will enable you to become a safer rider and get more enjoyment from your time on the road.
We'll also welcome you as a full member of IAM RoadSmart, which has many benefits. Discover these benefits on our membership page.
New opportunities
Becoming an Advanced Rider will allow you to continue making a difference to rider safety, long after your initial course. Our course allows you to become an IAM RoadSmart Observer and if you hold a police qualification, you might be able to become an IAM RoadSmart Examiner, continuing to make a difference.
Our Advanced Riding course also opens the door to other organisations such as Blood Bikes. Many of our members work with organisations such as Blood Bikes after finishing their course, as they require advanced motorcycle training to join.
