Training with us.

These courses are operated on our off-road facility in Locking Road Car Park which provides a safe area for you to learn.

We try to make our training courses as fun and enjoyable as possible, but always run to the highest possible standard. 

Please don't think that all motorcycle training is taught the same over the country, there is a huge difference in what some consider acceptable.

Our students notice a big difference in the standard of training received when visiting us if they have previously trained elsewhere. 
Those attending full licence courses often wish they had taken some training with us prior to starting. Some have never been taught the most basic machine skills correctly.

What you will need to bring.   

You will need to bring your UK photo card licence with you on the day. (Old style paper licences MUST be accompanied by a valid photo ID, for example, an ID card or passport.)

If you have a provisional licence and wish to have on road training during this session then a valid, original CBT Certificate, will also need to be produced and a license summary. (Unless using the lesson to complete a CBT that has previously been taken with us.) 

Please note it is your responsibility to check your licence is valid to use for training in the UK. 

If you are wanting to go on the road during this lesson a good understanding of the highway code will need to be demonstrated at all times.

We highly recommend bringing your own, in ear, headphones with a 3.5mm audio jack, however, these are only needed if you are going on the road. We also keep a supply that can be purchased on the day of necessary.

To be safely trained on a motorcycle you must be able to speak and understand the English language to a conversational level. We are not allowed to begin any training if it is evident that communication between the instructor and the student will present as an issue on the day. This is due to safety reasons.

All communication whilst on the road is via radio & we must be 100% confident that students in attendance can respond safely to all instructions given.
