Background

The European training quality label has been established for many years, with a strong ambition to extend its coverage to all EU member states. Existing label holders convened to share their experiences and insights.

This collaboration aims to integrate multidisciplinary expertise, combining research insights with practical training methods to enhance the quality of motorcycle instruction. The focus is on creating a unified framework that aligns with the safety standards and cultural diversity across the European Union.
