The IAM RoadSmart Course
IAM RoadSmart Rider Course
The IAM RoadSmart course currently costs £215
This includes your first years IAM and EDAM memberships in addition to the training and certification.
​
An additional £60 is required by EDAM to partially compensate your observer for their running costs. They are all volunteers and donate their time and skills to help improve road safety across the region.
Whichever aspect of riding you’re looking to improve, the IAM RoadSmart Rider course can bring your skills up to an advanced level, helping you to get more out of riding and preparing you for any on-road scenario.
​
For the course, 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 core riding skills and learn how to continuously apply the ‘IPSGA’ framework (Information, Position, Speed, Gear, Acceleration) to a variety of on-road situations including on bends, motorways, and during overtakes.
You can take advantage of EDAM, and meet up with others on the course to discuss and share your newfound knowledge and skills.
​
When you’re ready, your Observer will put you forward for your Advanced Test with one of the IAM Examiners.
Upon completion, you’ll gain ‘Advanced Rider’ and ‘IAM RoadSmart Member’ status.
