Introduction to Motorcycle Instructor Training
Are you instructing and wish to improve your training and your success rate?
Do you wish to be recommended by your past customers to potential ones?
Do you want to start training motorcyclists but don't know how to go about it?
Do you manage a training scheme and want to increase its effectiveness and increase turnover?
Do you want a quality assurance system for your instructing and assessment procedures?

Rider Ideas offers training for Motorcycle Instructors.

Individual subject areas can be covered in one-day training workshops, such as:

  • Classroom presentation skills
  • Remedial training after failing a DSA assessment
  • Updating and improving training skills
  • Course planning with emphasis on Health & Safety and Risk Assessment
  • Managing training schools and maintaining standards

We can also arrange for instructors to receive independent assessments of their training skills, either as an assurance that standards are being met, or to identify possible areas for improvement and assist in the drawing up of an action plan.

Motorcycle training generally falls into two categories:
For Learners - CBT and DSA Motorcycle Test
For full-licence holders - "Born Again", Improver, or Advanced

The first category is subject to control by the Driving Standards Agency, delivering a fixed syllabus to a wide range of riders from absolute beginners to people who may already have significant road-using experience with other vehicle classes. You will be required to undergo training and assessment in order to get a DSA instructor licence and meet certain "fit & proper person" criteria.

To be a successful instructor at advanced level, you really are going to have to work at it and continue to want to be amongst the best riders in the UK. There is no formal certification scheme or a register of instructors. DSA are currently working on proposals for a register and licensing scheme. In general terms, you will need to show you have teaching skills, be able to ride to a high standard and meet "fit & proper person" criteria.

In both cases you will need to gain a significant knowledge of the issues, knowledge and skills needed that can only be achieved by hard work on your part.
