Course overview

Your knowledge and skills on your motorcycle are proven every day, as a professional who uses their vehicle for work. It’s no secret that motorcyclists face more dangers on the road than drivers, you are less protected and face more hazards.

Our Motorcycle Exemption Course allows you to join IAM RoadSmart without going on our Advanced Riding Course.

We welcome professional riders from a variety of industries, and we firmly believe that advanced riding skills are a crucial part to improving road safety and reducing the number of collisions that happen daily on the UK’s roads.

IAM Members receive regular charity updates, a regular Members magazine, invites to skills days (hosted on race circuits), exclusive member discounts on various products including advantageous car, motorcycle & home insurance products.
