Courses and Training Options
Learner Licence Preparation
Get ready for your motorcycle learner licence with structured training that covers the fundamentals — bike controls, slow-speed manoeuvres, balance, braking, and road positioning. You'll leave the course with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge needed to sit your test with confidence.
Restricted and Full Licence Training
Progress through New Zealand's graduated licensing system with courses designed specifically for restricted and full licence tests. Training includes road riding, hazard perception, cornering technique, and the specific competencies assessed during NZTA testing.
Returning Rider Refreshers
Haven't ridden in a while? Alert Rider Training offers refresher sessions for experienced riders who want to dust off their skills and rebuild confidence before getting back on the road. It's a no-pressure environment focused on getting you comfortable again.
