You don't have to live in Somerset to qualify for this and apparently they will match similar riders/bikes to instructors.

Interesting...

Always loved the Police bike safe courses I wonder if this is similar?

I also wonder if there is one of these in Devon?

There isn't one in Devon, I spoke to the guy running it. They work on the idea that people from Devon use Somerset roads, so they can do the course too.
Apparently the instructors are all ex bike cops.

I did Bike safe a few times and it got less helpful each time. Last time I did it I got paired up with a guy who told the instructor he refuses to ride above 55mph. Thought he was taking the piss, but no. Even on wide open roads with max visibility and no issues it was still 55. The cop got well pissed off, as did I.

On this one they say they're looking at bikes and experience to pair up.
