The IAM RoadSmart Course
IAM RoadSmart Rider Course
The IAM RoadSmart course currently costs £215
This includes your first years IAM Roadsmart 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, as National Observers, 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 being part of EDAM, meeting 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 RoadSmart Examiners.
Upon completion, you’ll gain ‘Advanced Rider’ and full ‘IAM RoadSmart Member’ status.
All Your Money Back
100% of fees back for our youngest members
We recognise that biking can be expensive. And we further recognise that for our youngest members this can be an even bigger issue preventing many people from taking up additional safety training.
In memory of Ms Alison Laidlaw, an early donner to EDAM, we have decided to support our younger riders with the costs of the course.
​
If you are 28 or under when starting your course, EDAM will refund 100% of your fees when you pass your advanced test with us.
