Coached by the best, so you ride your best
Our dedicated Training Team is led by an experienced Head of Training, and every member has achieved the RoSPA Advanced Tutor qualification. They attend continuous riding and training assessments themselves — so the coaching you receive is always current, consistent and of the highest quality, whether you're a brand-new associate or a returning rider.
A team built around your progress
Advanced riding isn't about being told off — it's about being coached up. Our volunteers give their time as a voluntary contribution because they love riding and love seeing others get safer and smoother. You'll always know where you stand, what to work on next, and exactly how it connects to the RoSPA advanced test.
- Led by an experienced Head of Training

More than test prep — proper riding development
Observed rides
Structured on-road rides with a tutor following, then debriefing your observation, positioning, progress and hazard management.
One-to-one coaching
Personal, patient coaching matched to your bike and your goals — from confident returners to seasoned tourers.
Slow-riding & machine control days
Low-speed control, U-turns, clutch/balance and manoeuvring drills in a safe, closed environment — the skills that build all-round confidence.
HGV Awareness day
See the road from a lorry cab: understand blind spots, swept paths and how to position yourself to be seen and stay safe around large vehicles.
Group ride assessments
Social, marshalled group rides that double as friendly assessments — great riding, great company, and useful feedback.
Continuous development
Our tutors never stand still — they attend ongoing riding and training assessments so the coaching you receive is always current.
