Total Advanced Training was formed following increased demand from riders who want to benefit from police officer's riding skills and experience.

Our aim is to make advanced riding more accessible and to eliminate the myth that to take up further training is a weakness.  It is the opposite, you will as a result of our superior training and expertise become a smoother, more progressive, efficient and stylish rider.

We believe that your course will only be as good as the instructor teaching you.  Although there are many companies that offer advanced training we believe that few have the same calibre of staff. Most training courses will be conducted by our chief instructor and Director of training Mick Jones, however if this is not possible other instructors who are either serving or ex-Police officers and trained to the very highest standard will assist with training.  They have undertaken work such as covert surveillance riding for the National and Regional Crime Squads, the Flying Squad as well as regular traffic duties. 

The Traffic Officers role is well documented and in itself speaks volumes, however the role of a surveillance rider is not widely known to the public. This work involved riding police unmarked motorcycles at high speeds, through some of the busiest cities in the country - this is a measure of the incredible skill of these police riders as their only protection against dangerous road situations is their anticipation skill,  forward planning and quick reactions to changing situations.  To attain these skills each have undertaken many weeks of intensive training courses and of course years of experience.  It is this experience which means that several of our instructors are also assessors for the national Bikesafe rider safety scheme for Essex.

We have also endeavored to convert the Police skills into civilian qualifications that may be familiar to you.  The level of Police training means that our instructors automatically qualify as ROSPA Gold standard, the highest qualification for riding skills and membership of the IAM.  Some have also attained a ROSPA Diploma the highest qualification for teaching advanced riding. 

All this obviously means that they are good riders but what about teaching and communication skills. Being a police officer demands high communication skills and officers are provided with numerous courses to improve these skills. Some attend specific instructors courses whilst others are fully qualified Driving Standards Agency approved instructors and are also licensed to teach novices.  This means that they are qualified teachers so have the techniques and skills necessary to teach you in an effective manner.
