Training at Cornwall Advanced Motorcyclists

Our Objectives

All training at CAM is delivered to a high standard by our team of Observers ensuring Associates can develop and enhance their riding skills, always with safety in mind. The Associate Training Coordinator is responsible for our Associates from their initial joining, through to taking their test. Training delivery is achieved using Observers who are the responsibility of the Chief Observer. This role will focus on the quality and sufficiency of Observers for CAM and will work in partnership with the Associate Training Coordinator to ensure training is successful. Our Chief Observer and Associate Training Coordinator focus on:

Establishing and maintaining an appropriate training framework, on behalf of CAM.

Monitoring the effectiveness of the training being given.

The development and delivery of new/updated training initiatives to the group.

The management of the applications process for National Observer IMI Qualification and the subsequent training programs.

The promotion and delivery of the Continuing Ride Development Program and monthly Club Days

Communicating the latest training developments to the Observer’s Forum.

Both roles are also members of our committee and accountable to it.

Our Chief Observer is Graham Barnett and he is the point of contact for all  training matters.

Our Associate Training Coordinator is Tim Collins and he is responsible for associates during their training with CAM.

We are committed to recruiting and training as many National Observers as required to meet the needs of our club. 
To apply for consideration, ordinarily you must be at least 12 months post Advanced test. Applications must be received in writing following which a selection process will be undertaken. This process will seek to evaluate the suitability of applicants in three areas, riding capability, knowledge (of course materials, Road Craft and Highway Code) and coaching/mentoring skills. Successful applicants will be registered with IAM and training will commence which must be completed within 12 months.

All new Observers will be expected to commit to supporting CAM, not only through its delivery of one to one training to members and associates, but also through the attendance at monthly Club Days (minimum four per year) and attendance at the Observers Forum (at least once per year)
