Standards checks with ERS candidates
Standards checks with ERS candidates
DVSA Enhanced Rider Scheme (Q&A for ERS Instructors)
Asked by: Mark Stevens, Lightning Motorcycle Training (Oxford)
Answered by Chris Parr, Assistant Chief Driving Examiner (DVSA)
Question: Jez Tromans (VideoBiker) asking question on behalf of Mark Stevens, Lightning Motorcycle Training (Oxford) – “Can Enhanced Rider Scheme instructors who are undergoing a DVSA standards check insist they are assessed with an ERS student, rather than being standards checked whilst teaching Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)?”
DVSA response
Answer: Hi Mark, thanks for the question. If you are an ERS Instructor, then yes, you can insist on a standards check taking place whilst delivering ERS training. The DVSA don’t have a problem with this. In fact, we would encourage you to do this if you are signed up to the Enhanced Rider Scheme register.

Resources for ERS instructors & ATB's
The Enhanced Rider Scheme (ERS) resources and information on this page are from a DVSA webinar that was run in association with VideoBiker on the 12th July 2018. The content of this ERS webinar (and this page) is aimed at motorcycle training schools (ATB’s) and motorcycle instructors.
It will therefore have limited value for non-instructors, who are advised to contact their local motorcycle training school (ATB) for the latest up-to-date ERS information. The full webinar is available to all instructors via VideoBiker membership (free) – join here.
