My understanding is that the LAB has advanced courses that are required to be a certified LCI, so you have to take a course and pass the test.

-=£em in Pa=-, if you had to tie your shoelaces in the middle of an intersection, would you consider a course on it then? (Probably not, huh...)

I think the LAB courses are useful. I took Road I in June. In my case, I have to admit I didn't find it all that useful in the area of safety, but only because I already knew most of it from these forums! Had I not known any of that, it would have been extremely useful. Even so, I picked up a few less major things that I hadn't known before, like the names of all the parts of the bike, and the idea to train your kids to not just shoot out of the driveway by actually putting a small stop sign at the end of it.
