Survival Skills is a motorcycle training school
run by BTEC-qualified advanced instructor
and DSA-certificated CBT and DAS instructor
Kevin Williams.

With over 30 years of professional riding experience Survival Skills specialises in post-test, advanced & online motorcycle rider training.
 

Survival Skills has offered post-test rider training since 1996 and was one of the very first schools to offer flexible but structured advanced rider training courses.

With 16 years of courier experience, and over a decade as a full-time instructor, Survival Skills courses are tailored to the differing needs of newly qualified riders, returning riders as well as experienced and advanced riders.

Kevin has maintained an online presence since 1995 (you can find archived versions of the site as far back as 2000 on the 'Waybackwhen Machine')

"A few weeks after the course, I've only got three criticisms of "Spin":

1. He needs a haircut [Done-ish]
2. He really needs to get his @rse into gear and devise a refresher course option - if he does, I'll make my post dated booking now [Done!]
3. He should have lunch stop cafes that have a healthy option menu - I'm not normally allowed chips" [Me neither!]
 

In addition to the free rider resources maintained on the Survival Skills site here and on the blog,

Survival Skills pioneered use of modern training aids like portable video presentations, radios and on-bike video, and adopted 'best practice' measures such as risk-assessed training routes.

Survival Skills publishes a series of books on riding technique for all standards of rider from novice to advanced, distributed as e-books on CDROM or via download.

Since 2002, Kevin has contributed a riding skills column to "The Road", the journal of the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG), and Survival Skills has contributed to safety features in 'Ride' and 'Two Wheels Only' magazines as well as to many club magazines from the UK as well as Sweden, USA, Canada, Australia, Namibia, New Zealand and other countries. In 2008, Survival Skills researched the Lucky 13 series of cartoons for ACEM, the European Motorcycle Manufacturers Association.

In 2006, Survival Skills was probably the first rider training school to offer online e-learning courses
 in Advanced Riding Technique and Rider Psychology.
