Courses for the Military

RMT Motorcycle Training offers comprehensive training programmes for military personnel using Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) and the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), from learning to ride to becoming a fully qualified Motorcycle Instructor. Our course programmes will ensure that you achieve your ambition and succeed in your goals.

If you would like to be a motorcycle trainer why not try your hand at a new career? There are plenty of options open to you from becoming a part time instructor at weekends at a local training school right through to becoming a full time instructor when you leave the forces. This complete career change gives you outstanding job satisfaction, the enjoyment of outdoor working as well being your own boss.

Typically, our Basic Instructor Training Courses used in conjunction with ELCAS or CTP are three weeks long and give you the best foundation training to pass the external two day assessment. The next step would be the DAS instructor course.

Courses Available Are:

Basic Motorcycle Instructor Course (Week One)

CTP and ELC Scheme

The first week is to ensure you have all the necessary skills required to become a motorcycle instructor. As a Down-Trained Instructor you can conduct CBT courses and also train students to ride on the road on a motorcycle up to 125cc. During the course we will cover methods of instruction, lesson planning, teaching skills and various method deliveries.

Motorcycle Instructor Course to become an Instructor and Assessor (Week Two)

CPT and ELC Scheme

In the second week, we will provide you with the necessary information to be able to assess and teach trainee instructors. You must learn the important skills to be able to give feedback, proactive advice on lesson delivery and provide coaching to improve another instructor’s ability.

The training programme we have put together will enable you to go to Cardington (DSA training HQ in Bedfordshire) and pass the two day assessment. This will enable you to down-train other instructors and obtain the relevant qualification to open your own training school.

Practical Hands-On Training and Experience (Week Three)

CTP and ELC Scheme

This course is for practical hands-on experience with learner riders to consolidate the previous training you have done. You will be with a fully qualified instructor for the week who will guide you through the practical experience needed to teach learners.

The experience gained whilst watching and conducting lessons to real students is extremely valuable. It will stand you in good stead for the two day assessment at Cardington, where you will be able to practice your classroom and pad lessons. You will also see the benefit of fault finding and giving remedial action to new riders along with practicing the art of giving instruction via radio communication.

Motorcycle Instructor Training to become a DAS Instructor (Five Days)

CTP and ELC Scheme

The final step to become a fully qualified instructor is to complete the DAS (Direct Access Scheme) Course so that you can teach new motorcyclists at all levels from CBT to learning on a larger motorcycle in preparation for passing a motorbike test.

We deliver a comprehensive five day DAS Instructor course. This is long enough for you to develop an understanding of the different lessons required to be taught when training someone on a larger machine. You must learn how to introduce the larger motorcycle, conduct fault analysis and give remedial action during off road manoeuvres and deliver thorough on road riding lessons in readiness to pass this course.

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) course you must complete at Cardington is a half day assessment, usually three hours in duration. The qualification gained is a CBT1C certificate prefixed with the letter D, denoting that you have passed the assessment as a DAS Instructor.

Post Course Support

When you have finished your training with us, we will give continued long distance learning support until you have completed the necessary courses to become a qualified motorcycle instructor.

You will also have the opportunity to return to gain experience and hands-on training with real learner riders instead of undergoing fictitious scenarios with somebody doing role play.

Our after care and support network is second to none and we are the only company offering this service to forces personnel.

Learner Motorcycle Training for a full licence

CTP Scheme

This course is for you if you want to add category A to your licence. This will aid you in occupations such as becoming a courier, bike paramedic or motorcycle police officer. We offer an intensive course from CBT to full motorcycle licence, including Module 1 and Module 2 tests.

The course duration depends on your experience and ability and typically lasts for five days. Booking is easy, just enrol, turn up with your driving licence and a theory test pass certificate and we will do the rest. See learner training pages for an outline of the programme.

ERS and Advanced Motorcycle Training Course (Five Days)

CTP Scheme

The ERS and Advanced Rider Training courses have been carefully designed to take your riding skills to a higher level. The aim of the training is to issue an ERS certificate, to reach the RoSPA and IAM test standard and to take an Advanced Motorcycle Test.

During the course you will undertake extensive rider training, covering the advanced riding system, machine control and handling, vehicle sympathy, throttle sense, counter steering, cornering along with the safe use of speed and executing an overtake.
