The following established courses are offered in 2018:

Level 1 – Suitable for beginners through to experienced riders, Level 1 provides an off road skills foundation for BMW GS motorcyclists.

Level 2 – Taking adventure riding to the next level, this course enables riders to build their skillset on more difficult terrain and learn the correct technique for riding over obstacles.
