You are just about to part with your hard-earned cash, but you have no idea what so ever as to how your training will be conducted... After all, the advert looked nice, or the website was glitzy, that should be ok then, right? Wrong! Remember, you have never met these people before, so how can you make a decision as to whether they are going to be suited to give you the quality training you not only deserve, but also require.

So here are some tips as to what to look for when choosing a rider training school:

How to Find the right Motorcycle Rider Training School for You!

Ask friends 

Remember, your friends, contacts and family have no hidden agenda; they have no reason to bend the truth or mislead you. At Pro Rider the majority of our customers come from recommendations of others.

Call In

At Pro Rider we encourage customers to call in and see our premises, you can witness at first hand pupils enjoying there training .

Training Days

Whether its CBT or A2/DAS ask how long the training days are, a CBT should not finish at lunch time . On a Full course how long is the day ? A days training should not finish at 14.00,  tests are not tagged on to your last day of training at Pro Rider you get what you have paid for.

Bike Shops

Most bike shops are linked into a training school it makes sense for them to be to help get each other customers therefore bear this in mind when a specific school is recommended , you are unlikely to get an honest opinion.

Training

With the new manoeuvres part of the test it is crucial you are able to practice as often as you wish that is why we have purpose built areas that are not shared with others in order for you to do this.

Pass Rates

No one wants to keep taking tests if you wish to know a schools pass rate you can contact customer services at the DSA who can give you any schools official pass rate.
