Motorcyclists across Scotland can now enrol in Rider Refinement courses for 2026 and enhance their rider skills and road safety knowledge.

Rider Refinement is a one-day course, with over 40 sessions available throughout the country between April and October 2026.

In 2025, a joint study undertaken by Police Scotland and Transport Scotland was published and examined motorcycle fatalities between January 2015 and August 2024.

The study found that 269 people – including 253 riders and 16 passengers – were killed during that period. Despite accounting for less than 1% of traffic, motorcyclists represented 18% of all road fatalities in Scotland.

Rider Refinement is led by motorcycle officers from Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit and supported by an observer from the charity IAM RoadSmart and runs throughout the national motorcycle safety campaign, which takes place from March to September.

The full-day course costs £65, which includes lunch and all of the inputs.

Superintendent Andrew Barclay, Deputy Head of Road Policing for Scotland added: “We know that motorcyclists make up a disproportionate percentage of those killed or seriously injured on our roads each year and we are committed to engaging with this group and providing them with all the support, advice and information to keep them safes while out on their bikes.

“We are grateful for the support of IAM Roadsafe in delivering the Rider Refinement courses, which are the only ones of their kind in Scotland, and I would encourage all motorcyclists to sign-up for a course in their local area.”
