How the course works

The Assessment Ride

The assessment ride consists of the instructor following you and analysing your riding skills on your own bike on public roads. Their assessment of your skills includes (if possible), but not limited to, the analysis of the following core areas:

• Normal Road Positioning
• Separation Distance
• Appropriate Use of Speed
• Use of Observations
• Use of Mirrors
• Road Attitude
• Junction Approach Procedures (e.g. OSMPSL)
• Roundabout Procedures (mini, standard, multi-lane, etc.)
• Reaction to Other Road Users
• Progress / Hesitance
• Corners / Bends
• Motorways / Dual Carriageways (if available/allowed, e.g. full motorcycle licence, etc.)

The trainer will provide feedback to the rider as it progresses via radio/stops, using video and other training aids where relevant.

Conclusion Session

At the end of the session, the instructor provides verbal and written feedback to you.

Finally, a Certificate of Completion will be issued on behalf of Transport for London
