Motorcycle Instructor Training

RMT Motorcycle Training offers a comprehensive training package for you to become a Motorcycle Instructor. Our programme will ensure you understand the structure of lesson planning, have a sound knowledge of instruction methods and can deliver lessons in a clear, precise and simple way that will be easily understood by your trainees.

If you are already an instructor or trainer in another field, why not try your hand at a new career? You could become a part-time instructor at weekends to help out at a local training school or even have a complete career change and take up this rewarding profession full time.

There are false claims out there that state you can become a fully qualified motorcycle instructor in just two weeks; being a motorcycle instructor is a demanding job and takes time to perfect and get right. A proper training programme is important to be able to teach and train other people safely as they are putting their lives in your hands. We promise to give you the very best start into your new career.

When you commit to undertaking your instructor training with us, we will send you an information pack with lesson plans and training material for pre-course study. This will ensure you have as much knowledge as possible before you start training with us as an instructor. Once you have enrolled, we offer a comprehensive pre and post course support network to ensure you receive all the help you need to achieve your goal.

Our motorcycle instructor training courses start from £500

Courses available are:

Basic Motorcycle Instructor Introductory Course

We offer a five day course to start your career as an instructor in Motorcycle Training. You will be given all the relevant information needed for each lesson that must be conducted throughout a CBT course, lesson delivery guidance and practice, and also some ‘On Road Training’ in the art of instruction via radio work when teaching.

This course is a good opportunity to see if motorcycle training is for you.

Motorcycle Instructor Course to become a Down-Trained CBT Instructor

This is a five day course to ensure you have all the necessary skills required to be a qualified 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 give you guidance in methods of instruction, lesson planning, teaching skills and various method deliveries for different riding criteria.
This qualification is given by the ATB who has trained and assessed you to hold a CBT1 certificate as a CBT Instructor.

Motorcycle Instructor Course to become a fully qualified CBT Instructor

Once you have completed the Down-Trained Instructor course or if you already hold a Down-Trained Certificate your next step is to complete the CBT Assessment at Cardington (the DSA HQ for Training and Development).

In this five day course, we provide you with the necessary information to be able to assess and down-train a trainee instructor. You must master the skills to enable you to give feedback and advice on lesson delivery and provide coaching to improve another instructor’s ability. You must demonstrate a high standard of teaching.

Once you complete this course, you can train other people to be down-trained instructors so that they are able to conduct CBT courses. You will hold a CBT1C certificate after passing the two day assessment at Cardington.

Motorcycle Instructor Training to become a DAS Instructor

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 to passing a motorbike test.

We deliver a comprehensive three day DAS Instructor course to you. 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 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.
