If you've been looking for an 
ADVANCED MOTORCYCLE training course
you can take in your spare time because you are struggling to take time off work or from family commitments, or because you are simply too far away from Survival Skills, it's time to take a look at the Survival Skills e-learning course


❓ WHAT IS THE 'IMPROVE YOUR RIDING IN EIGHT WEEKS' E-COURSE?
The 'Improve Your Riding In Eight Weeks' e-course is an ONLINE MOTORCYCLE TRAINING COURSE for motorcyclists based on 'distance learning' techniques. 
Using the latest online coaching techniques, you will cover the same content as my long-running two-day 'Survival: SKILLS' on-road advanced rider training course. 

The only difference is that the course is completely ONLINE - all you need is access to the internet! 
Plus there will be a FREE end-of-course BONUS MODULE for everyone. 

❓ WHAT IS THE 'Survival: SKILLS' ON-ROAD COURSE?
Originally introduced in 1997 when I launched my advanced rider training school in response to an increasing demand from recreational riders wanting to improve their riding, the two-day course in practical road riding skills has for many years been one of my most popular courses. 
Thanks to the 'leave nothing unexplained' approach it's been as big a hit with riders at all levels from newly-qualified to highly-experienced. In particular, the fresh thinking has appealed to riders with advanced training from other sources - I've even had police riders on the course. 
Regularly revised and updated to incorporate the latest thinking in road safety and coaching, the 'Survival: SKILLS' course continues to evolve. It aims to offer every motorcyclist a broad toolkit of theory, skills and knowledge enabling them to tackle any kind of road with confidence.


❓ WILL I LEARN ANYTHING NEW?
I have no doubt you will. Wherever you sit on the ladder of personal development - including those of you with existing post-test training experience - this course will add to what you already know about riding motorcycles. 
Both the on-road and the e-course focus on delivering new thinking on rider safety. You'll discover fresh ways of identifying the threats and novel ways of dealing with them. You'll discover novel concepts you won't find in conventional police-based training in the UK. There is a strong element of 'insight training' helping to develop enhanced ability to understand and manage risk. 
SURVIVAL SKILLS - A MODERN LOOK AT 
THE PROBLEMS MODERN RIDERS FACE ON TWO WHEELS
The course also adopts new ideas from sports psychology to improve uptake and - crucially - RETENTION of the training. You won't go away from a Survival Skills course and forget most of it within days, as is the problem with conventional rider coaching. 
Survival Skills - a unique experience genuinely unlike any other on offer in the UK. 


❓ WHAT'S IN THE SURVIVAL SKILLS 'EIGHT MODULE' E-COURSE?
You'll get much the same content as in the on-road course, but delivered online. As with ALL Survival Skills training, the online course has been meticulously researched to offer every trainee a carefully-balanced mix of theory and knowledge, plus the practical exercises necessary to extend a trainee's ability to put the theory into practice on the roads, 
Here's the syllabus. Although it won't be delivered in precisely this order, you'll see that it's broken down into three main areas, each of which is subdivided into a number of modules, plus a summary section. Just like my on-road training, the course utilises a building block approach so you're never asked to tackle a fresh challenge without having built the foundations previously. 
THIS EIGHT MODULE ONLINE COURSE IS BASED 
ON MY ON-ROAD 'Survival: SKILLS' TWO-DAY COURSE
You're very likely to encounter new terminology and new thinking - don't worry, everything will be clearly explained and put in context with the rest of the course.

❓ CAN MOTORCYCLE TRAINING TRANSFER TO DISTANCE LEARNING?
Since motorcycling is a very practical activity, I've been asked questions about how realistic it is to deliver a course of online learning and whether it can work. It's good to ask that question. But the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES! 
E-learning is an accepted way of delivering skills in many fields, and has been for many years. It should be obvious that any theory content CAN be delivered remotely but because motorcycling is seen as a 'hands-on' skill, it's easy to under-estimate just how much of what we learn about riding when we're not actually ON the bike. If you have ever read an article on better riding in a book or a magazine, watched a YouTube video or a DVD, or even followed my Facebook page online then you have taken advantage of distance learning. If you have ever thought: "that's a good idea, I'll use that in my riding", then you have learned from it too!
I HOLD AN NVQ IN DISTANCE LEARNING
WHICH WAS GAINED VIA AN ONLINE COURSE
What may not be so obvious is that we CAN learn practical skills too so each section of the course has some simple-to-try practical exercises which allow you to go out and directly try out the theory, just like my paperback DIY guide to better riding 'Survival SKILLS'. And that's had a lot of positive feedback. And if that's not enough, I'll let one of the people who took the earlier version of this course whilst recovering from a crash tell you what they found:
 "Oi, what have you done to my riding! I went out for the first ride since I did my knee this morning... whilst there was a bit of weirdness from not being on the bike for so long, the things we have been studying were jumping out at me, some of the things that were stood out were: • the hazard sign exercise, I'm getting there but I'm still more tuned into to spotting speed limit signs than triangles • hazard lines, I see broken and solid but wasn't noticing the long hazard line • overtaking, I think I was too gungho before, I wasn't considering hazards enough"
I think you'll agree that's great feedback! 
And if you're still wondering how effective e-learning can be, all I can say is dive into the FREE INTRODUCTION SESSION and give it a go!


❓ HOW WILL THE CONTENT BE DELIVERED? 
E-learning platforms typically offer a diverse range of content to cater to various learning styles and objectives, and the Survival Skills Eight MODULE e-course is no different. 
The content will include:

Text-Based Content:short written articles to provide foundation knowledge
Case Studies and Practical Examples:real-world examples show how to apply theoretical knowledge to real-life riding situations and to help gain deeper understanding
Multimedia Presentations:photos and videos help make sense of theory
Live Webinars and Virtual Classes:real-time interaction via discussion and Q&A sessions
Quizzes, questions and assessments:your answers help you evaluate your understanding of the material and allow me to offer feedback supporting a continuous learning process
Self-Paced Modules:although there are deadlines, the pace of the course is relaxed enough to allow you to progress through the material at your own speed, providing flexibility and accommodating different learning preferences.
Downloadable Resources:additional resources, such as PDFs, worksheets, reference materials and links to online articles can be provided for offline use or further exploration of specific topics.
Follow-up learning: at the end of the course, you'll also be able to access short 'add-on' elements to extend your understanding in different areas of riding.
The content is designed to be diverse, engaging, and adaptable

get the help you need, adapted to your own skill level.


❓ WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT? 

After the free Introduction Session, the course is in 8 modules. You'll need to set aside approximately 4 to 5 hours per module to complete the assignments. 
Each new module will be delivered to you on completion of the previous module. Ideally, you'll complete one module per week. If you can't finish the assignments to complete the module in time, don't worry - the next module will simply be held over to the following week. 


❓ WHAT IS THE COST? 
Signing up to the 'Motorcycle Skills - Improve your Riding in Eight Weeks' e-learning course costs just £160 - that's £20 per week, much the same as an average tank of fuel, or a coffee five days a week in Starbucks. 
And you'll save over £300 on the current price of my 'Survival: SKILLS' two-day on-road course. 


❓ WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?
If you think anything is missing, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do about it. 
The aim of these courses is to be FLEXIBLE - just like my on-road training.
