At Abbey Rider Training we tend to err away from 'intensive' courses. However, we are not suggesting that you should do hourly lessons, or
spread the course out over several months.
We have found through experience that having a few days break between each part of your course works best.
As an example, for the 5 day DAS course, we would advise doing day one
(CBT) one week, coming back the following week for the next three days
back to back, with your Module 1 test at the end of the last day. Then take a break before returning to finish your Module 2 training and test.
There are many good reasons for this:
-
If the weather is abysmal on any of your training days, we have more chance to re-book without losing any training time before the tests.
- If there is anything you are struggling with during your course, we've got time to fix it.
- You are less likely to make a silly mistake during your tests simply because you are too tired.
- If, half way through your course, you feel like you will not be ready for the tests, we can postpone the test without losing the fee.
We will not refuse to do an intensive course, if that is what you really want, but consider this:
On Monday morning you come in to Abbey Rider Training at 8.45am for you CBT, learn new skills all day long.
On Tuesday you come in at 9am, learn new skills all day, do anything up to 80 miles, come back to base around 4pm,
have a coffee and a debrief on how the day has gone.
Repeat on Wednesday and Thursday, then repeat on Friday until lunchtime, then go and sit your practical tests.
How tired do you want to be to sit a test?!
Riding bikes should be FUN not an endurance excercise!
Another advantage of breaking up your course
By breaking up the course we can fit the training around shift patterns or even do your training over weekends.
Weekend courses obviously tend to be most popular and book up before our weekday courses, so please phone for details.
