Basic Handling Skills Training/Test
“I want to thank you very much for giving Lindsay an excellent grounding on which to build the skills needed to ride safely. Once she got over her fear she really enjoyed it. Yesterday she passed the theory test so we'll begin in earnest now..."

Competency Based Training & Assessment (CBTA) Training
"...Just a quick note to say thanks for a well run course. There was a good mix of fun, stress, thought provocation and reward. It was hugely beneficial to me and I am enjoying my riding more than ever now..."

Advanced On‑Road Assessment/Training
Geoff's Excellent Adventure
"...the road is predictably twisty ‑ a complete mix of right‑angled bends, blind corners, sweepers, adverse cambers, corners made in heaven ‑ the whole works. The wind is fair piping through, and it's hard work staying on line..."
"...after a bit of verbal coaching including the use of counter-steering, Ward asks me to re‑trace our route so that he can see my cornering again. Ward is chatting over the R/T and making encouraging noises, which is great..."
"...the road is arrow straight for over a kilometre, and I can guess what's coming ...oh God, high speed braking exercises!"
"...down the road I go, feeling quite nervous as the crosswind is batting me round a bit. A quick turn and blast it up to 100, nervousness disappearing as I give it full concentration ‑ in with the clutch and a rapid firm squeeeeze on the brake lever ... Crikey, the 'bird' pulls up faster than I've ever done it before, and with complete absence of drama! Ward gives the double thumbs up which means an awful lot to me. I must have shaved close to 10 metres or so off my initial braking distance, and am staggered how good modern technology is. The mental limits of most people including myself are set way below the capability of the machine and this course has been outstanding in broadening my awareness..."
"...I thank him for 3 of the best hours I've had on a bike ...!"
