INITIAL BASIC TRAINING
I.B.T. is law in Ireland Dec 6th 2010 (see FAQ's section)
Anyone who applies for a learner permit class A1, A, or M will have to undergo 16 hours training by an R.S.A. APPROVED DRIVING INSTRUCTOR.
When the trainee has received the minimum 16 hours the permit will be validated by the instructor.
The validated permit then allows the holder to ride their machine unaccompanied.
It should be noted that the 16 hrs is a minimum requirement by law and should not be taken as having completed a full training course.

Foreword
All courses start with a safety brief.
The courses are run in an informal friendly manner and tailored to suit your needs
Tony appreciates that people learn at different speeds and with this in mind the courses are run to suit the trainee not the instructor.
Although each course has a set syllabus the course you choose will be tailored to suit what you want to achieve from the course
The serious stuff.
Before the start of any course your documentation will be checked (licence, permit) insurance (where applicable) and you will be invited to check the instructors permits (adi). If you are using your own bike you must produce a current insurance cert and your machine must be in a roadworthy condition.
Advanced
The advanced course is aimed at riders who would like to advance their road skills and teaches various techniques to improve their machine control and roadcraft, advanced students may also be considering moving on to be an instructor themselves or may be considering advanced courses i.e. rospa, institute of advanced motorists, etc and the course can be tailored to suit that objective. The course is also aimed at riders who may be considering track days and looking to achieve the Holy Grail for most sports bike bikers (getting your knee down)

Complementary
The complementary course is aimed at the rider who can ride a bike and wants to improve their bike skills and road craft.
In particular the course is aimed at people who and may have had one fright to many i.e. entering a corner to fast and panic braking, running wide coming out of a corner or in general having a near miss.
This course also targets riders who are getting back into bikes or may not have ridden a machine for a number of months after the winter. And feel they need to brush up on their machine skills.
In addition the course is ideal for riders who have booked their test and would benefit from a few pre test lessons.
