Hi..

Have just signed up here as I am planning on doing my CBT then taking the DAS but I've got no idea which training centres people recommend! So I'm hoping some people have used some of the centres around Merseyside and can give me some oppinions!

Thanks! Smile

I used marriotts in birkenhead at first, but i wouldn't recommend them! They were good, but you had no way of practicing the speed trap thing so i ended up failing twice because of that! Where are you planning on doing your test?
ian(789???) on here has gone to somewhere in WALLASEY who seem to be pretty good, they do their tests in st.helens too (the pass rate at chester isn't great, although thats where i did mine Rolling Eyes

)
If its not too much bother and your doing it in chester, go for Bill Smiths. I used them after marriotts and passed my mod 1 first time with them, but then 3rd time for Mod2. The guy that took me, Ste i think he was called, was a great guy but tended to have a bit of a short fuse if you went the wrong way due to wind noise on the mic!

Hope this helps

Also, if you do it at chester (your mod 2) Go for an earlier time when its less busy. Thats what i'd recommend anyways.
EDIT: just read that you're doing DAS, i dont think you'd have any problem with the speed trap Laughing

Hi, I'm from Wallasey! Very Happy

I passed my restricted test with Aprilia Merseyside, they were absolutely fantastic Thumbs Up

I passed everything first time and they use St.Helens Test center.

It depends which side of the water your on as to wether this is useful Laughing

Aintree Motorcycle Training.
They have a great reputation, my missus is currently there.
My mate passed his test with them
They have more than enough room to practice everything

Great guys, Great place.
