Professional Motorcycle Instructor, Coach and Educator

Andy Jervis is a rare combination in motorcycle training: a highly experienced rider and a formally trained, career educator. His work as an instructor is defined not by shortcuts or habit, but by structure, insight, and a deep understanding of how people learn.

From the outset, Andy brings a calm authority and professional presence to every training environment. He is methodical, observant, and highly attuned to student behaviour, learning needs, and emotional state. His training is never generic. It is deliberate, adaptive, and centred entirely on the learner in front of him.

Education-Led Motorcycle Training

Andy’s background as a qualified teacher with a PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status underpins everything he delivers on the pad and on the road. This is visible immediately in his lesson structure, pacing, questioning techniques, and ability to pivot mid-session when a learner’s needs change.

Great motorcycle training, in Andy’s view, goes far beyond passing a test. It develops understanding, confidence, judgement, and self-reflection. He designs training that allows riders to think their way through problems logically, rather than simply follow instructions. This creates riders who are not only test-ready, but genuinely prepared for the road.

His ability to adapt training in real time means learners progress quickly, safely, and with clarity. Anxious riders become calm and capable. Analytical learners are engaged intellectually. Overconfident riders are guided to reflect and recalibrate without confrontation.

Excellence in Instructional Delivery

Andy’s strengths as a trainer are consistently recognised by both students and peers. He excels in:

• Explaining complex concepts clearly and calmly
• Building confidence through structure and reassurance
• Observing rider behaviour and identifying root causes
• Delivering precise, meaningful feedback
• Maintaining composure and professionalism under pressure

His educational background places him in the top tier of instructors. Attention to instructional detail, lesson intent, and learner outcomes is second nature to him. Watching Andy teach is to see education done properly: purposeful, reflective, and effective.

DVSA Assessment and Professional Standards

Andy has achieved exceptionally high outcomes in his DVSA CBT1C and CBT1D assessments. What stands out is not just the scores, but the way he approached the process.

He demonstrated openness to feedback, an ability to refine working practices, and a clear educational rationale behind every decision he made. His delivery was bespoke, learner-centred, and grounded in recognised teaching frameworks and methodologies.

Examiners commented positively on his demeanour, communication, structure, and safety-led delivery. In truth, Andy’s depth of educational knowledge exceeds what is typically encountered within assessment environments, which speaks volumes about the standard he operates at.

Standards, consistency, and compliance are non-negotiable for Andy. He approaches instruction as a profession, not a role. This is why he now leads instructor training delivery within RMT and Motorcycle Instructor Training Centre, focusing on education standards, methodology, and teaching frameworks.

Coaching Mindset and Rider Development

Andy is not limited to instruction alone., he is a natural coach. He encourages riders to analyse situations, reflect on outcomes, and take ownership of their learning. Rather than issuing commands, he asks the right questions at the right time.

This approach develops thinking riders. Riders who understand why, not just how.

His background with advanced riding, observer roles, blood biking, and professional riding environments has shaped a balanced, realistic view of risk and responsibility. He communicates this clearly, without drama or complacency.

Professional Character and RMT Role

On a training day, Andy is calm, prepared, reflective, and detail-driven. He is acutely aware of how he presents himself and how that impacts learner confidence. There is empathy in his delivery, paired with quiet determination and high expectations.

He builds strong, trusting relationships with trainees and reads individuals exceptionally well. He is the kind of instructor other instructors would trust without hesitation.

Andy is a long-term asset to RMT and to the wider motorcycle training industry. His future lies in senior training, mentoring, instructor development, and curriculum leadership.

He is already trusted to deliver high-stakes training independently and will spearhead the growth of instructor education within the organisation. His role is not simply to teach riders, but to raise the standard of teaching itself.
