BMW Rider Training is at the heart of the World of BMW programme, the first stop for those looking to begin their motorcycling journey. In 2025 the four UK training locations generated over 1,200 new licence holders – all proudly passing while riding confidence inspiring BMW machinery. BMW Rider Training offers structured and personalised courses for riders at every stage of their journey, with an impressive 83 per cent pass rate. The training focuses on essential road skills, safety awareness and advanced riding techniques, helping riders build confidence and progress at their own pace.
For riders keen to explore riding beyond the tarmac, BMW Off Road Skills offers immersive off-road training at the 4,000-acre Walters Arena in South Wales. During 2025, more than 1,200 customers took part, accounting for over 2,800 days of riding on a range of the latest BMW GS models. Led by Simon Pavey and his highly-experienced instructor team, which now boasts five Dakar Rally finishers among their ranks, the well-established curated courses focus on essential off-road techniques, including body positioning, braking control, hill climbs and descents, and navigating technical terrain.
Track-focused riders can refine their skills at the BMW Motorrad Performance Academy, where precision, speed and control is key. Coached by an all-star lineup of current and former British Superbike racers, the programme hosted five exclusive events last year, whose participants enjoyed the full capabilities of BMW products thanks to a safe and progressive curriculum of training. Based at Mallory Park, the BMW Motorrad Performance Academy uses track-prepared BMW motorcycles including the F 900 R, S 1000 R and S 1000 RR, providing a professional and highly-focused learning environment.
Completing the 2026 offering, BMW Motorrad Tours provides professionally organised motorcycle journeys to more than 40 destinations worldwide. In 2025, the programme delivered 33 tours, with over 350 riders creating incredible memories. From the scenic mountain passes of the Alps to the remote landscapes of Machu Picchu, each tour is fully supported with expert guides, carefully curated routes and comprehensive logistics.
With over 20 years of experience, the World of BMW continues to deliver expertly designed activities that enable riders to develop their skills, broaden their horizons and experience motorcycling in new ways.
