Be a Better Rider with IAM RoadSmart

There’s never been a better time to improve your riding with our IAM RoadSmart Advanced Riding Course.  For the current fee – check out the IAM website – www.iamroadsmart.com

If you are serious about your biking, you’ll be serious about making the most of it – maximising both enjoyment and safety.

Well you’re in the right place!  SLAM is an official IAM Group offering the IAM RoadSmart Advanced Rider Course.

We run 3, 10 week Advanced Rider Courses each year and once enrolled, you will go through a structured, yet flexible process which is guaranteed to improve not just the safety of your riding, but also your enjoyment of riding your bike!

SLAM have an enviable track record of preparing Associates for the IAM Advanced Motorcycle test – our 2023 pass rate is an excellent 97% – something we are proud of and a quality standard that we are determined to keep up.

You will receive 1 to 1 training with your dedicated an Institute of Motor Industry (IMI) approved Observer, who will tailor the flexible course to meet your requirements…typically you will be taken on 7 to 10 rides.

They will assist you in attaining the level required to pass your IAM test and become a member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (or in our case Motorcyclists). Included in each course is an initial induction session, a classroom session where we discuss the theory and techniques of better riding, a practical Machine Control slow manoeuvring session (with some extra fun thrown in!) and a test briefing session (usually with one or more of the Examiners present) which gives you the opportunity to have any remaining questions answered prior to the test.

Then there is the test itself with one of the IAM examiners all of whom can ride to a standard we all aspire to!  You also get a comprehensive advanced riding manual so that you can read how to improve your riding!

All in all its a great experience and we are sure you’ll have fun doing the IAM RoadSmart Advanced Riding Course!
