Compass Motorcycle Excellence – Ride For Life.
Motorcycle Training Courses:
DVSA Enhanced Rider Scheme (ERS)
The DVSA Enhanced Rider Scheme is designed for full motorcycle licence holders who want to develop their riding skills and confidence.
The course provides an opportunity to assess your current riding, identify areas for development and build a personalised training programme. It can be particularly useful for riders who have recently passed their motorcycle test, returned to riding after a break or want to develop greater confidence on today's roads.
Training can cover areas such as observation, anticipation, planning, positioning, speed management, cornering and hazard awareness.
RoSPA Advanced Motorcycle Rider Training
Develop your riding towards RoSPA Advanced Motorcycle Rider standards with structured training focused on advanced observation, planning and roadcraft.
Training helps riders understand how to apply advanced riding principles in real-world traffic and road conditions. The aim is to develop a systematic approach to riding that helps you make better decisions and manage hazards effectively.
Whether you are preparing for an advanced riding assessment or simply want to improve your riding, training is tailored to your individual needs and experience.
IAM Advanced Motorcycle Rider Training
Compass Motorcycle Excellence also provides training for riders working towards IAM Advanced Motorcycle Riding.
Advanced riding is about much more than riding quickly. It involves developing a systematic approach to observation, anticipation, planning, positioning, speed and smooth control.
Training helps you understand how these principles can be applied to everyday riding, helping you become a more knowledgeable, controlled and confident motorcyclist.
Back to Biking Training
Returning to motorcycling after several years away or following a collision?
Back to Biking training is designed to help experienced riders regain their confidence and refresh their motorcycle skills.
You may have taken a break from riding because of work, family commitments, health, changing circumstances or simply because life got in the way.
A personalised session allows you to rebuild your confidence progressively, refresh your knowledge and identify areas where additional training could help.
The training can be adapted to your experience, motorcycle and individual objectives.
Post-CBT Motorcycle Rider Training
Recently completed your CBT and want to develop your riding beyond the basics?
Post-CBT rider training can help newer riders develop their practical motorcycle skills and gain experience in a structured environment.
Training can focus on fundamental riding techniques, road positioning, observation, hazard awareness, planning and developing confidence in different traffic and road conditions.
This is ideal for riders who want additional support after completing their CBT and before progressing towards more advanced motorcycle riding.
Please note: Compass Motorcycle Excellence does not provide CBT or Direct Access Scheme Mod 1 or Mod 2 training.
Blood Biker Training
Compass also provides motorcycle rider training for Blood Biker riders who want to develop their riding skills and roadcraft.
Blood Bike riding can involve demanding journeys, changing road conditions, unfamiliar routes and increased pressure on the rider.
Training can focus on observation, anticipation, planning, positioning, hazard awareness and maintaining appropriate speed and control.
The objective is to help riders develop the skills and knowledge required to manage challenging riding situations safely and systematically.
Slow-Speed Motorcycle Skills
Slow-speed motorcycle control is an important part of becoming a confident and capable rider.
Our slow-speed skills training helps riders develop better control and understanding of their motorcycle at low speeds.
Sessions can include exercises designed to develop:
-
Clutch and throttle control
-
Rear brake control
-
Balance and stability
-
Steering control
-
Tight turns
-
U-turns
-
Manoeuvring

Low-speed confidence
Slow-speed training can be particularly useful for riders who feel uncomfortable manoeuvring their motorcycle in car parks, narrow roads, traffic or other confined spaces.
Personalised Motorcycle Training
At Compass Motorcycle Excellence, training is not simply about following a standard lesson plan.
Every rider has different experience, confidence, strengths and areas for development. Training is therefore designed around your individual riding needs and objectives.
