Please note, we have always followed DSA guidelines and regulations to the letter. So we dress all students in armoured gloves, armoured jacket and an approved safety helmet, unlike 'budget' schools who sell cheap courses and think a hoody and a pair of thin gloves is sufficient. The new DSA rules on practical tests states "Tests will not go ahead if you are inappropriately dressed", and we see no reason not to apply that to all our courses. Remember, you are our responsibility while in our care and we take that responsibility seriously!

All prices also include Damage Waiver Insurance which some schools like to avoid, preferring to penalise a student's mistake by hitting them in the pocket. So for that reason we include a small insurance cost in the price of each course.

Our intention is to ensure our students leave us happy, confident and looking forward to years of riding a motorcycle on the road. To that aim, we guarantee that all our students will receive professional training of the highest quality. We have a variety of handpicked instructors, operating with a maximum of only two students to each instructor on the road. We operate from several training sites covering most of Kent, with areas specially laid out by our experienced instructors enabling you to practice manoeuvres off-road with ample space before committing yourself to the road. Our instructors have excellent pass rates, and all our equipment is top-quality, with new Yamaha and Suzuki motorcycles and Piaggio, Peugeot and Honda scooters. Our intensive courses are structured to allow the maximum amount of time actually on the bike - no standing around for hours, no long visits to the local café - which give you the best chance of passing your test.

The New Motorcycle Test. We have encountered no real problems with the new motorcycle 2-part test, contrary to the media interest and sensationalism - in fact, our pass rates are up on last year before it was introduced - 82% on Module 1 and 93% on Module 2 since October 2010. Thanks must go to Woody and Dale for their hard work to make this figure possible.
