BMW Motorrad IIA Certification Program

Date posted on May 6, 2019

This Instructor Certification project for BMW Motorrad started after Pres. Duterte mentioned in his speech during the 24th National Motorcycle Convention held in Legazpi City, Albay on how we should be highlighting Rider Safety at all times.

BMW Motorrad Philippines took it by heart to become its advocacy.

During the visit of BMW Motorrad Global President, Dr. Marcus Schramm and Global Sales and Marketing Head, Mr. Timo Resch, BMW Motorrad PH requested for an Instructor Certifcation to be conducted in the Philippines or maybe in a nearby country so that certification costs will be reduced. IIA Certification has only been conducted in Europe.

They both heeded to our request so we now have the following schedules:

The general plan for the Philippines is to have the following:

Aside from Riding Skills, Instructor Aspirants were also taught First-Aid execution so that they will be able to perform what is necessary in case of unforeseen accidents. They are also taught the USP’s (Unique Selling Proposition) of each of the BMW Motorrad products including Riding Gear and be able to explain them clearly.
