It is part of the RSA's Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) scheme and is intended to improve road safety.
IBT is a 16-18 hour course broken into four separate modules to be completed in sequence. These modules are a mixture of theory and practical riding skills.

This course is aimed at a person who can ride a bike or is getting back to biking after a long break.
You may need a refresher to build your confidence if you've had one too many near misses or you are having problems with negotiating the bends on country roads for example.

Using the system will help to give you calm control of your machine, and a more enjoyable and safer ride. This course is a min. 2hrs.
This course is aimed at riders who wish to take the R.O.S.P.A and the IAM test, or just wish to improve their road craft.
The benefits of this course include safe and enjoyable riding, better control and a reduced insurance premium.
The aim of the advanced riding course is to improve your road craft and to improve the skill and safety of your riding so that you can make the best use of road and traffic conditions.
An accident or near miss usually represents a loss of control and a lapse of riding skill. This course is a min. 3hrs.
