Videos
Videos are a great way to get a quick understanding of specific points of advanced riding. We have a few examples here that show different aspects of riding, all approved by EDAM as there is a lot of complete tosh out there...
Your observer will be able to discuss any points you raise on the content of these videos.
MCN & BikerTek
MCN & Bikertek got together in 2025 to create a great series of videos highlighting many of the elements of biking that you will cover in your course and see on every ride you take.
This series in particular covers much of what is covered in the course, though from a slightly different angle.
You will see much of the same things in these videos as you will cover with your observer, who will be able to cover off any specific differences you may encounter.

These are intended to supplement discussions with your observer and the practice that you will be putting in as you go through your journey.

Thank you both.

An Associates View
You can watch Kate as she progresses through the course and takes her IAM RoadSmart test.
There is also a video where you can see the same ride from the examiners (Reg Local) viewpoint.
There have been quite a few comments around this online, and it's a very short series of sessions before a test, but remember, you're never going to see everything in an online video.
