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.

If we cannot resolve your complaint within 8 weeks, you may refer your dispute to the Financial Ombudsman Service. This service is free to use.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. 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 best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may 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, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
