The only nationally available rider coaching in New Zealand. Delivered by experts and available from just $20.
About our on-road coaching courses
While each course delivers important skills on its own, the full complement is designed to help you progress to a higher level. So, if you start at Urban Commuter or Bronze, you can advance through Silver to Gold level, taking a maximum of two courses per year along the way (you can only do one Gold course per year).
Once there, you can continue to take a Gold refresher course each year. From learning how to keep yourself safe on the daily commute to honing the most advanced riding techniques, there's a Ride Forever course to suit your needs. Ride Forever courses also support NZTA's Competency-based Training and Assessment requirements for licensing.
