Welcome to RoSPA Advanced Rider Training Merseyside & Lancashire.
.
Welcome to our website. Our Group aims to positively contribute to road safety and to help motorcyclists become safer riders through the development of their skills and knowledge to achieve the standard required for the RoSPA Advanced Motorcycle Test. We operate on a not for profit basis.
There are many myths and misconceptions held about advanced riding. Although our main focus is rider and road safety, this does not mean we don’t like to have fun riding our bikes. A rider who has received advanced tuition is usually quicker, smoother and definitely safer on the road. If you'd like to improve your riding, or just socialise with other riders why not come and visit us at one of our Bi-monthly meetings. We'll be happy to tell you a bit more and give you some idea as to what you can expect to gain from advanced training with / or joining our group.
Your's Sincerely
Mike Ireland
Group Chairman
What's the value of this training, what do the Stats Say?
North Yorkshire Road Safety Partnership, motorcycle accident statistics 2003 - 2013 [click Left] show key risk areas motorcyclists face daily in relation to accidents. The RoSPA training course is specifically designed to address these risks through the application of two principles: enhanced AWARENESS and TRAINING the result being to lower your risk of accident and injury. Unforutnately the course does not address the risk of residing in Yorkshire! ;-)..
Why RoSPA?
"The RoSPA training course is widely regarded to be the most challenging advanced motorcycling course available to the public. At the end of your course you can take a test which is conducted by a Police Advanced certificate holder. They will grade your ride and complete a comprehensive written report on your performance. The RoSPA awards consist of Bronze (advanced standard), Silver and Gold - Gold being the highest civilian riding standard available to the public and the holder will be a master of his or her craft."
Why Advanced training?
'THINK' Campaign's 'Never Too Good' to be a better rider series featuring Alan Davies, Chaz Davies and RoSPA's Merseyside Examiner, Mike Addison.

Feedback:
‘I passed my bike test but wanted to learn more and I definately did on this course. The tutors were fantastic, a genuinely great bunch: knowledgeable and all had a relaxed approach which helped a lot. I feel a lot safer on my bike having completed this training, thank you’.
‘I learned a lot from this course and feel a lot safer. I would recommend this training to any biker that is open to learning a bit more’.
‘A refreshingly down to earth bunch which you wouldn’t normally associate with advanced training. Fantastic, thanks for everything!’
‘Great course, great training. I’m looking forward to getting involved, thanks guys!’
‘This course really opened my eyes! The training was excellent but delivered in a down to earth manner, a great initiative! Thanks..’
'I passed my test, did Bikesafe, IAM and now RoSPA. I would recommend this course to all bikers wanting to improve and refine their skills. Good bunch of down to earth bikers..
Our idea was to fill a need for a group in the Merseyside area. Our aim is to promote and positively contribute to road safety and provide advanced motorcycle training, skills & development. At the end of the training a test CAN be undertaken, a comprehensive report compiled and a graded result achieved that will be recognised widely.
Most Tutors cite their primary motivation is seeing the improvement and enjoyment of riders who have undertaken our courses and developed their skills.
We have had and continue to have a pleasing number of test passes from courses, and some of the first students have now continued their development within the group.
