Mature Age Skills Training for Experienced RiderS

The “MASTERS” Course is a defensive road skills course initiated by the Motorcycle Riders Association of the ACT, developed and conducted by Stay Upright Motorcycle Techniques and subsidised by the NRMA-ACT Road Safety Trust.

It is tailored to the needs of licensed riders returning to motorcycling after a break. The full day course which is preceded by an evening theory session, is held at the Sutton Road Driver Training Centre.

At no time is there any testing or need to perform during the course. Riders do all exercises at their own pace.

The evening theory session focuses on refreshing roadcraft skills and development of a safe riding plan for the road. It is held at the Sutton Road complex at 6 pm the evening before the course.

The practical day covers many aspects of riding and technique. Throughout the course we continually explain the exercise then demonstrate the wrong way then the correct way. We pride ourselves in being able to analyse WHAT riders are doing and are able to help them to become more aware of their limitations and techniques.

The course delivery format is to explain, demonstrate then evaluate.

Pillions are welcome to attend. Please advise when booking if a pillion is attending.

Please Note: Because the NRMA-ACT Road Safety Trust receives its funding from a levy on ACT road users, the MASTERS course is open to ACT residents only.
