We're sorry to have to tell you that The Edge advanced scheme has been withdrawn by the MCIA. It's agreat loss.

This scheme was fully operational in Kent. Kent Police had authorised 4 Class 1 riders to undertake the assessments so, in theory, you could have applied for assessment right now.

Training Schools had been appointed by The Edge for this area. Channel Rider Training were the first, although they hoped other schools would "gear up" and meet their criteria, to make this scheme as accessible as possible to all riders.

In practice, training in preparation for the assessment was needed by most riders. The Edge syllabus covered a wider range of skills than other Advanced Riding schemes, including:
Suspension set-up
Tyres, brakes etc.
Group riding techniques
Scene of Accident
Bike security
Advanced riding techniques of course!

Again, to make this scheme as accessible as possible, we offered our candidates a home study pack to cover the technical sides of the scheme and minimise training costs for you. People training with us got this free of charge, covering all the non-riding elements of their test.

Advanced Riding courses have been available from us for some time; all our Advanced Instructors have been trained by Police Class 1 Instructors to train our candidates.

So, where do you go from here ?

We recommend that you train for another of the Advanced qualifications now. At the moment that's IAM, BMF, RoSPA etc (go to the links page). The Advanced Riding techniques can be learnt and then sufficiently practised to impress your assessor.

The remainder of the course elements will follow while you practise, leading to your assessment when you're confident you have mastered the necessary breadth of both riding and technical skills.

We can "mock-test" you before you go for your assessment.

We'll get you there.
