UK's most comprehensive IPSGA video training guide
The VideoBiker Advanced Academy is structured to enhance and complement professionally delivered advanced motorcycle training. For the majority of riders, this will be post-test advanced training via one of the recognised providers i.e. the DVSA Enhanced Rider Scheme (ERS). Uniquely, ERS is the only ‘crown backed’ fully DVSA certified route to gaining an advanced riding qualification and in most cases, is delivered by full-time professional instructors. Other popular routes to advanced rider qualifications include IAM RoadSmart and RoSPA, both of whom provide structured advanced training, that culminate in industry recognised advanced riding tests.
Common to all advanced motorcycle training is an approach known as ‘the system of motorcycle control‘ – also referred to as simply ‘the system’. At the core of this police based approach to advanced rider training is IPSGA (Information, Position, Speed, Gear and Acceleration). The VideoBiker Advanced Academy helps post-test and experienced riders to understand IPSGA and to prepare for advanced rider training.
