Cons:

  • "Then instructor was an hour late so nothing started until after 9, after he had turned up late he also needed a smoke."
  • "The trainer's attention seemed very focused on the guys who knew what they were doing - me and one other lad (the only ones who hadn't ridden before) were sent home at lunch because we weren't ready for the road."
  • "I was sent home during class. I was supposed to take the course again, but to no avail. I was contacted by email and phone. The people I spoke to didn't help."
  • "Started off well enough, soon had problems where you agree a time, turn up and you're told you're not booked in and there's no instructor to take you out, lessons are canceled and you're informed very late."
  • "Extremely poor management as double bookings occur and no compensation is given for the waste of time."

  • "We all stood and baked for an hour in the sun whilst they did this."
  • "The ratio was 4:1 which does not allow the instructor to take u on the road which means YOU CANNOT PASS."
  • "You can't put a new rider to ride in a circle for 3 hours then ask him to properly ride on a road."
