The general objective of the Developing a European Approach to the Initial Training of Motorcyclists project (IRT Project) is to improve the often poor and sometimes non-existent training that rider of a powered two-wheeler receives prior to obtaining a category licence. To meet this general objective the IRT Project undertook to consider and to deliver conclusions and recommendations to the European Commission in four distinct areas: The essential elements of a model European initial rider training programme; How a model European initial rider training programme can be utilised in different demographic and economic circumstances; The potential of e-Learning (hereinafter referred to as e-Coaching) to support initial rider training and how virtual training approaches could be developed; The development of the essential elements into a comprehensive, cohesive and cost-effective European initial rider training initiative.
