Training for Motorcyclists

Basic six-week moped training courses are conducted at the Road Safety Centre during the autumn and winter school terms and are available to High school pupils in Cardiff.

The main emphasis is on machine control and safe riding practice, but the course also uses classroom based theory lessons which deal with, legal documents, protective clothing, the Highway Code and traffic regulations, the economics of riding and drinking and riding.

Upon completion of the course each student undertakes a basic practical riding assessment and if successful is awarded a certificate. If you are a secondary school teacher and would like further information, please contact the Road Safety Centre.
