DAS - 3 Days £500?

[StevenF]

Just got a quote from a local company £500 which includes:

Day 1 - 1 day riding
Day 2 - Module 1 training
Day 3 - Module 1 exam
Day 4 - Module 2

Does that seem like a good price? It was supposed to be £690 for 4 days but managed to get a little off because I've already done my CBT and only wanted 3 days because I'm skint!

Seems pretty good to me if that includes test fees (the school makes no profit on these). It sounds even better if that includes use of their bike, kit and fuel.

£15.50 Mod 1

£75 Mod 2

Test fees = £90.50

An instructor for four days at £80 a day = £320


So £410.50 already, without taking into account the depreciation on their bikes, fuel for the instructor (and you possibly), overheads such as rental for lockups and CBT site, and the killer insurance bill.

Sounds like you've got a great deal to me. Go for it

As above... that's cheaper than I paid!

I paid £525 for my 3 day course a couple of years back, I already had my Cbt at the time and of course the theory test had to be taen before any tuition. Two days of training and the test was on the morning of the third day, which I suppose wasn't actually three days training in the end, but it was a pass nonetheless. As said above its best to also have additional money just in case something goes wrong and you need a restest.

Price included bike hire, fuel and kit if required. fortunately I had my own gear already. Not a big fan of wearing a used helmet, god knows how many sweaty foreheads its seen.

i paid a hell off a lot less doing my cbt,mod 1 practice and mod 1, mod two 2 hrs ride and mod 2 and with an hr before mod2 test and still did not come close to the 500 for your 3 day course.
but it did take a hell of alot longer about 6 weeks all in..

for me doing it in bits worked out cheaper that the block course route

but have been driving for 15 yrs so i dont know if that helped as i already use to been out on the road except in a cage??

was about 360ish i paid..

Hope you enjoy it!

Very reasonable in my opinion, I paid £450 all in for 2 days plus the test on the third morning 3 years ago.

Have a good day mate, and all the best.
