What do you learn on the course?
The Biker Down programme has been running for over a decade, educating people around the world about motorcycle safety and first response to accidents. The course consists of three modules which include, Incident Scene Management, Casualty Care, and a Think Biker section. All modules include an in-depth insight into real-life situations, giving the students accurate answers to any questions they may have, in addition to guidance for almost every scenario.
Every year motorcycle brands upgrade and refine their motorcycles to be faster, lighter and more aggressive. So we need to similarly upgrade and refine our safety knowledge too. Developing your knowledge could save your life, as well as others – avoiding dangerous situations and leaving you more time to enjoy your motorcycle.
Who runs the course?
The course works closely with several supporting teams including, local fire service teams, the police force, road safety officers, FireBike, KFRS (Kent Fire & Rescue Service) and the Institute of Advanced Motorists, to ensure you get the very best training and preparing you for any accident you may encounter.
What do you receive from the course?
You will gain fantastic knowledge that could potentially save your life or a fallen rider. The course offers great team learning activities and methods for all learning types.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policiy and regulatory complaints.
