Training for motorcyclists

We offer training courses for all full A or A2 qualified motorcyclists of all skill levels. Email roadsafety@norfolk.gov.uk for more information or to book a course.

We work closely with dealers and bike groups so we're often the first to hear about what's going on. Follow Norfolk Road Safety on Facebook to stay up to date with events and general information on the bike scene.

Local advanced riding groups 

There are three groups of advanced riders operating in Norfolk. Two are local branches of The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM):

• Norfolk Advanced Motorcyclists (NAM)which is Norwich based
• Fenriders which covers the west of the county 

The third is the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). This covers the whole of Norfolk. 

Biker Down!

The Prevention team at Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service offers a free course for motorcyclists of all ages and abilities, teaching them what to do if they find themselves at the scene of a road traffic collision (RTC).

Biker Down! Norfolk consists of three modules over a three-hour session - offering training in incident management, casualty care/helmet removal and the thinking biker. It uses the skills and knowledge of operational fire fighters.
