Advanced Roadcraft Days
"Hello David, Dave & John, Just a note to say thank you for the ARD on Sunday. It was a great day, the instruction was spot on, very clear and practical, the balance between theory and practice just right and the general feeling was vey cheerful. Obviously Casey Stoner has nothing to fear from me just yet but I finished the day feeling very happy with how it had all gone and that I had learnt a great deal - keep up the great work!!"

Training should not end when you get your license. There is always more to learn. You can and should constantly strive to become a better and safer rider. For those who wish to extend and improve their road riding abilities Alert offers you our successful and popular Advanced Road Craft course.
The course is run over full day. We begin the day at our premises in Bayswater with a brief theory session and a series of practical exercises on advanced cornering and braking techniques. The rest of the day is spent honing riding skills on a set open road course consisting of metropolitan and country roads with breaks for regular individual feedback and practical riding demonstrations.
We stop for lunch in Toodyay - the cost of which is included in the registration fee.
The course is normally conducted with a ratio of one trainer to four or five trainees
Every participant is given individual feedback and tuition from the instructors throughout the day as well as having the opportunity to learn from the others in the group in a relaxed, friendly and supportive atmosphere.
"Compliments on the Advanced Roadcraft, it was an excellent course all-round. I left with a better educated and safer attitude towards the risks on the road, my riding abilities and lack there-of (I've since improved), plus it was great fun to boot. I recommend the course to anyone, and hope to see you again with my new bike."
