Dsa Enhanced Rider Scheme

The DSA (Driving Standards Agency) have launched a new training scheme for bikers which has been designed by the Agency and the motorcycle industry as a road safety initiative aimed at saving lives.

The scheme is new and is designed so that riders wishing to be part of the scheme have to initially have their riding assessed. As part of that assessment the approved Post Test Motorcycle Trainer will complete:

• A rider development record which is used to track the progress of the training of the individual rider.
• A rider assessment form which will be used to detail the final assessment
• If the rider is sucessful in passing the assessment issue an Enhanced Rider Insurance Certificate
  
  The Enhanced Rider Scheme has been devised to be 'stepping stone' for riders wanting further training, but not necessarily Advanced training. The scheme is very much in its' infancy and developing with only 103 registered trainers (February 2008). At Advanced Motorcycle Training .Com the ERS with initially be incorporated into the existing courses. The assessment for the ERS will consist be of one hour duration, and will include the rider debrief, administration and discussion on any future training issues. (You can book just the hour if you want) The ERS consists of an eyesight and documentation check, so you need to bring your driving documents with you. After this, your riding will be assessed and a Rider's Development Record which consists of 26 competencies will be completed and if you are successful in achieving the required standard a Rider Appraisal report will be issued.
