This is IAM Roadsmart’s core qualification. You’ll be paired with one of our highly skilled Observers, themselves Advanced Riders who hold an additional Institute of the Motor Industry qualification. Over a series of observed rides, you’ll develop your riding skills and learn how to apply the ‘IPSGA’ framework (Information, Position, Speed, Gear, Acceleration) to all on-road situations including on bends, motorways and during overtakes.
We’ll give you a handbook to help you keep track of your progress, and you’ll have time to practise and hone your new skills between each session. And you’ll be very welcome to take advantage of KAMG’s extra-curricular training days, group rides, tours and social events – including our monthly Group Night held at The Kentagon, Brands Hatch. When you’re ready, your Observer will put you forward for your Advanced Test with one of our Examiners. Upon completion, you’ll gain IAM Advanced Rider status – your ‘green badge’.
