ACU Training Course for Road Race Licence Applicants As part of the ACU’s ongoing policy of rider development and education, and in line with requirements as laid down in the 2008/9 ACU Handbook, all first time applicants for Novice and Intermediate Novice Road Race licences must undergo a training course.

The ACU Training Course (ACU-T Course) is designed specifically for you as a first time Road Race Licence applicant.

The purpose of the course is to ensure that you understand the basic safety and organisational requirements to participate in road racing. Before any new licence can be issued, you must satisfactorily attend the course and pass the multiple-choice test. If you have any worries that you may find the end of course test difficult to complete, please call 01788 566422.

The ACU Training Course will be held on a Saturday at Darley Moor Sports Centre Ashbourne, organised by the Darley Moor Club. The course will start at 9.30am and hopefully conclude by approximately 1.00pm. Course dates are listed on the booking form. To book a place on the course please complete the attached form. The fee for the course includes the course notes and the test itself.
