Before you book

Specialist courses have different requirements

Check the individual event page carefully because motorcycle type, tyres, experience and protective equipment vary between courses.

Use the right motorcycle

Track, gravel and slow-skills courses each place different demands on the bike. Contact the team when suitability is unclear.

Prepare your equipment

Roadworthy condition and suitable protective gear are essential. Track and gravel courses may have additional requirements.

Choose the right experience level

Specialist training is not a substitute for learning basic motorcycle control. New riders should begin with learner or on-road coaching.

Specialist training FAQs

Questions before choosing a course

Do I need a Full licence for specialist training?

Requirements vary. Track coaching expects meaningful road experience, while maintenance and MotoMed are suitable for a wider range of riders. Check each live event page.

Can I use a hire bike?

The normal Passmasters hire fleet is focused on eligible licensing and Ride Forever bookings. Ask the team directly about any specialist-course motorcycle requirement.

Is track coaching a race day?

No. It is a structured coaching day focused on technique, control and learning in a circuit environment.

Will gravel training include river crossings?

It may, depending on the route, weather and group. Core gravel skills are the main focus and no rider is required to attempt an unsuitable section.

Do I bring my own motorcycle to maintenance?

Event instructions explain the workshop format and what to bring. Check your confirmation or contact Passmasters before the date.

Is MotoMed a general workplace first-aid certificate?

MotoMed is motorcycle-specific crash-scene and rider-response training. Check the event listing if you need confirmation about any formal certification requirement.
