| TASTER LESSON
If you have never ridden a motorcycle before why not come along for a one hour taster lesson? This will give us an opportunity for us to get to know each other, a chance for you to decide whether biking is for you, and for us to advise you on your best route forwards. A nominal charge is made for the Taster Lesson, which is refundable on booking a training course.
COMPULSORY BASIC TRAINING (CBT) All learner motorcyclists must now complete a course of Compulsory Basic Training before riding on the road. While we initially allocate one full day for the CBT, our course provides unlimited training to take you to a safe and competent standard, allowing you on successful completion to ride a motorcycle of up to 125cc (limited to 15bhp) for a period of up to two years. If you do not complete the CBT on the first day all further training and bike hire is free of charge.
STANDARD A2 LICENCE
This course is open to all candidates aged 17 or over. All training is conducted on a 125cc bike, on which you will sit your test. On successful completion you will receive a licence restricting you to for a two year period to bikes of up to 33bhp. After this two year period you are free to ride any size of machine without the need to take a further test.
We offer the Standard Course in two formats:
1. An intensive four day course, (including CBT, or three day without the CBT) with three full days training and the test on day four
2. An extended course offering a maximum of 24 hours of training after the CBT, spread out out over a longer period, coming in once or twice a week for 2-3 hour session.
If you are unsure which course would be best for you, do the CBT first, then speak to your instructor.
DIRECT ACCESS
The Direct Access course is open to candidates aged 21 or over. Training is carried out on a combination of 125 and 500cc machines, with the final test conducted on a powerful 500cc bike. A successful result in the test allows you immediate access to any size of bike.
The Direct Access course is offered in two formats:
1. The intensive five day course (including CBT, or four day without the CBT) includes four full days training with a brush up and test on day five
2. The extended course spreads a maximum of 32 hours training after the CBT spread out over a period of a few weeks, coming in for 2-3 hours sessions once or twice a week.
his course is aimed at candidates looking to buy a larger bike for sporting or touring use, and is only suitale for those who have previous driving experience, whether in cars or on motorcycles, and who are physically able to handle the larger machines. Please take advice from your instructor following your CBT as to the most appropriate course for you.
BACK TO BIKING
If you already hold a full motorcycle licence but have not ridden for a number of years, our three hour Back to Biking course offers an ideal reintroduction. Course content will vary according to your experience and needs, and longer courses can be organised on request. Please ask for further details.
