MCIA RIDE Information for ATB’s and Post-Test Trainers

Covid-19 Best Practice Guidelines for ATBs

MCIA RIDE and the DIA with the support of DVSA have developed these guidelines to help ATBs who are delivering training during the Covid-19 pandemic.

They should be considered alongside the guidance we have obtained (below).  

The document probably doesn’t cover every eventuality; but it should help you consider the risk to yourself, your instructors and members of the public as things slowly move to what is being referred to as the ‘new normal’.
 

ATB Owners/Managers: Committed to higher quality motorcycle training

MCIA RIDE Industry Approved ATBs are governed by a Code of Professional Practice which represents a commitment to delivering high quality motorcycle rider training, business management and professional standards. It raises MCIA RIDE Industry Approved ATBs to a higher level of professionalism, our MCIA RIDE Industry Approved training logo gives assurances to customers and other stakeholders (e.g. manufacturers, road safety organisations and government departments) that training being delivered is amongst the best in the industry, and customers are guaranteed a quality training experience. 

The Code of Professional Practice that MCIA RIDE Industry Approved ATB’s agree to abide by, goes beyond the standard of the training school’s motorcycles, equipment, premises, and instructor qualifications.
