As you may have heard through the motorcycling press, the DSA along with the motorcycle industry have put together a new package of training known as the Enhanced Rider Scheme (ERS).

(you can download the official DSA leaflet here)

This is a new initiative by the DSA to provide further training to full motorcycle licence holders, with discounts on insurance after successfully completing the course.

If you have not ridden for a while and would like to do some preliminary refresher training, that can be easily accommodated. Please call for details!

If you would like to improve your riding and qualify for insurance discounts, please contact us for prices and availability.



"The scheme is beneficial to all bike riders who have a full motorcycle licence, no matter what size of bike, or the experience level of the rider. There is no test involved and following a satisfactory assessment you could get insurance discounts too." (Official DSA leaflet 2009)



"Not all incidents involving bikes are due to mistakes by the rider, although it's easy to slip into bad habits. The accident statistics for bikes would suggest that everyone should at least have their riding assessed from time to time." (Official DSA leaflet 2009)




The first step is to go for an assessment ride so that we can take a look at how you have developed since passing your test. If your riding is at a satisfactory level, a certificate can be issued which could entitle you to insurance discounts. If your riding would benefit from further tuition we will outline the areas that require attention and suggest further training. If you have trained with us at A.R.T. before you already know that we make our courses as enjoyable as possible and we always do our best to ensure the training fits your requirements. Feel free to take the assessment ride first and then decide what to do next!



Advanced Courses (RoSPA, IAM etc.) involve a test, ERS does not. Think of it more as a stepping stone towards an advanced qualification. We will teach you many of the same techniques, and give you time to practice. THERE IS NO TEST!



Please see the Prices page for details.

Please note that the Enhanced Rider Scheme courses do not qualify for the free introduction lesson.
