A new online version of the Biker Down! Cymru course has recently been launched, thanks to Welsh Government funding.
Biker Down! Cymru is a free three-hour course for motorcyclists to enhance their knowledge and broaden their experience in dealing with collisions that may require first aid at the roadside.
It consists of three modules:
- Incident scene management
- Casualty care
- The science of being seen
The course is delivered by Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service and is available free of charge to residents and road users of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys.
Following completion of the online course, participants will be invited to attend a venue in one of the local authority areas listed later in the year to complete the first aid and helmet removal elements as this can’t be covered online.
It is not a requirement for participants to be a biker to book a place on the course, anyone is welcome to take part.
The next online course will take place on 31 August 2021 and will be delivered online through Microsoft Teams. Details of how to book are available via the Road Safety Wales website.
