The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) enhanced rider scheme checks your motorcycle riding skills and provides training to help you improve.

The scheme can help you:

• become a safer rider
• develop your motorcycling skills

If you successfully complete the scheme you will get a DVSA 'certificate of competence’. You can use this to get discounts with most motorcycle insurers.

You need to have a full motorcycle licence and have passed your test.

The scheme 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

What do we do differently?

• We are working for you, and you do not have to join any group to train with us.
• The ERS is assessment based so there is not the pressure of taking a test.
• If you want to become a Blood Biker with Herts & Beds an ERS course means that you can start sooner if you are riding your own bike.
• All of our training is provided 1-2-1 and we can train you when you require.

Initially you will have a rider assessment with an expert coach You will ride in different road and traffic conditions.

The ride will be long enough for your trainer to make a good assessment of your skills. 

You’ll be assessed on 7 core modules:

• structured planned approach to riding
• defensive riding and hazard awareness
• progress and use of speed
• overtaking and filtering
• bends and corners
• slow control
• developing the correct rider attitude

If the assessment shows that you do not need any more training, you will get a DVSA certificate of competence straight away.
