Course Summary

Trainees who've done a course with Survival Skills have been badgering me for some time about running refreshers. So here we are.

If you have already taken training with Survival Skills or another advanced training school (including the IAM test), then consider a refresher session.

You'll be lead through a series of riding situations to remind you of what was covered on your course.

It's also a great way of widening your experience of advanced riding skills - not every course is the same!

Together with another rider, you'll get a selection of testing exercises in urban and rural conditions. .

The reason for running the course 2:1 is to offer a different perspective of watching another rider being assessed.
 

Course Content

This course aims to re-explore the main concepts of your previous Survival Skills advanced course or Bends course, so starts with an assessed ride. From there on, the content will be flexible, based on how we both perceive your needs.

Format of the course

The practical session will usually commence at 10am, beginning with a briefing over a coffee (allowing you to revive after the ride to meet us) followed by a discussion about attitudes to riding in general. We will then move onto the road to explore the theory in real life. We pause for a short break for tea and a bite to eat mid course and end the day around 3pm with a debrief.

Training will be sometimes be on a 2:1 basis. If you wish to take training with a friend or partner, we will be happy to arrange that, and the second rider will qualify for a 50% discount.
 

Logistics and teaching

Survival Skills courses use professional quality Motorola bike to bike radios, allowing real-time coaching and correction.

Course content has been researched in depth, is exhaustively tested and subject to continual review and improvement. Courses are structured and employ proven teaching techniques. Outcome goals are set based on your riding needs. Using the "learning loop" of explanation, demonstration, practice and correction, you are set clearly understandable and achievable goals at all times.

Quite simply YOU, the trainee, come first at Survival Skills!
So why settle for less? Book a Survival Skills course now for the very best in qualified, independent advanced training.
