Biker Down
"I think Biker Down should become part of the official part of working towards a bike license. Brilliant course, well presented and very thought provoking." From a recent Biker Down participant.
Biker Down is a FREE course that offers motorcyclists the opportunity to learn practical skills to help avoid being involved in a crash, as well as essential first-aid training and advice on what to do should they find themselves first on the scene of a crash where someone is injured.
This three hour session covers the following topics:
- Initial Scene Management
- First Aid for motorcyclists with the help of MAGPAS
- The science of being seen
Our Biker Down course does not involve a motorbike ride out.
Once you’ve completed the course you’ll receive a certificate.

"I was thankful for the information i received and would highly recommend this course to other riders. I, as many riders do, thought i was a good observant rider, but there was certain information i had never thought about and this course opened my eyes to my short comings. The 2 course leaders were excellent and informative. Taking this course has given me the urge to do other courses like the bike safe one and the IAM Roadsmart." From a recent Biker Down participant
