The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) enhanced rider scheme checks your motorcycle riding skills and provides training to help you improve. There is no test.
ERS is suitable if you:
- Have just passed your test
- Are returning to riding after a break
- Are upgrading to a more powerful motorcycle
- Want to check your riding standard, with a professional trainer.
BENEFITS
- Bespoke training, tailored to each rider individually, aimed at making you a better, safer rider
- You’ll first have a rider assessment with an professional trainer, riding in different road and traffic conditions.
- If this shows you don’t need more training you’ll get a ‘DVSA certificate of competence’ straight away, otherwise, you’ll get personalised training to improve your skills and get the certificate at the end of your training.
- The DVSA certificate of competence gives you discounts with most motorcycle insurers.
- If you need further training you might be offered all-day courses or shorter sessions, depending on what you need to brush up on
- To ensure quality and consistency of training every Instructor offering ERS is individually assessed and approved by the DVSA
