General Info

ADAM members are responsible for their own vehicles and costs.

Only members are eligible to participate in group rides.

When an associate has been recommended for full membership to the IAM they may be invited to continue training and become a group observer so that they can pass on the skills they have developed to the next intake of associates, if you would be interested talk to your observer.

After some experience is gained under direction, a written therory test and a practical test is taken to certify you as a qualified observer. A qualified observer can progress to a senior observer by sitting the test set by the IAM and conducted by an IAM appointed examiner.
