Think that Advanced Motorcycle Training is about riding slowly, well think again! At PROG we understand "real life riding"
Hello,
I am Derek Baker, founder of Progressive Rider Training. I have a passion for all things “biker” related, having been involved with motorcycles for as long as I can remember, sparked during my childhood, by family and friends who were bikers.
I have been delivering advanced motorcycle training since 2008 through Kidderminster Advanced Bikers, where I am the Chief Observer and a Masters Mentor for IAMRoadSmart, the UK’s leading road safety organisation. I have been fortunate enough to have enjoyed a career in the automotive industry since leaving school, including both cars and motorbikes.
In my earlier years, I raced on short circuits as a club-racer, starting out in the Production Open Class (“Proddy-racing”) before moving onto fully raced prepped Yamaha TZ250s. However, I am now purely a road rider, coach, and instructor.
At Progressive Rider Training, we specialise in providing comprehensive training to help riders with a full motorcycle license improve their skills and confidence on the road.
Whether you have recently passed your test, are a “born-again-biker,” or are struggling with specific aspects of your riding, we can help you improve through on-the-road guidance and personalised instruction. We ensure that you develop the necessary skills to identify (and importantly react accordingly) to developing hazards, which often occur at high speed.
At PROGressive Rider Training, our mission is to provide our clients with an unforgettable training experience.
Following an assessment of your ride we will provide instruction and guidance to enable you to reach the standard required to achieve The DVSA accredited Enhanced Rider Scheme . Come and join us on our amazing routes through Shro
