The course is held at Taplow Roads Policing base. It will conclude at H Cafe in Berinsfield, Oxford
We have a team of more than 20 trained assessors who are all Roads Policing officers, they have completed both advanced car and bike courses. In addition to riding at work all are passionate motorcyclists.
Course format
0830 – arrival, administration and a chance to meet your assessor
0900 – interactive presentation delivered by Grant Goodings or Conrad Lee who are bike instructors from our driving school. This will cover topics including hazard awareness, cornering, overtaking, junctions, group riding and filtering.
1200 – lunch, which is provided.
1230 – First Bike on Scene presented by South Central Ambulance bike paramedics. Would you know what to do if you came across a collision? This will offer you the skill you will hopefully never need.
1330 – A ride with your assessor. This is designed to take in most of the types of road you are likely to ride on urban, rural, sweeping and twisty. The maximum ratio will be two riders to one assessor. You will stop on regular occasions to debrief your ride and reflect on the classroom input before putting the advice into practice.
1530 – Arrival at a common location with the rest of the group where your assessor will provide you with feedback. Grant or Conrad will be on hand if any new questions have cropped up as will representatives from advanced training organisations to allow you to take the next step.
