where to take my DAS near Feltham Middlesex

Hi, I am new to the forum and was after some advice regarding your experience of local Motorcycle Training Schools-specifically regarding a DAS course.
I live in the Feltham Middlesex area and was hoping for some recommendations and or some warnings regarding Training in this area. I have a budget of about £650 and that is it (saved for ages to get this) so don’t want to go throwing it away because once its gone its gone!
I passed my CBT with Twickenham Motorcycle Training and enjoyed the experience, however I don’t know what it is I don’t feel inwardly confident to go with them again (could be the bike don’t know) so am looking for others.

I have been on a 125 everyday since and covered about 4,500 miles

The schools I’m looking to go with are:

https://www.suttonmotorcycletraining.co.uk/
https://www.westlondonmotorcycletraining.com/
https://aceridertraining.co.uk/index.html @Staines

Any advice more than appreciated.
Thanks in advance Rob.

Well after a year, vets bills that stopped me from booking a year ago I finally booked my DAS with Sutton Motorcycle Training (SMT) well what can I say about them? Fantastic, I am so glad that I travelled from Heathrow area all the way to Sutton for my training, the staff are fantastic, not just with me but with everybody that I have seen them deal with, form the total novice to the multiple CBT taker, to people like me who have had one CBT but don't want to do any more. The trainers were all so professional and patient! I don't feel that I have just passed my MOD 1 and Mod 2 but I feel that I have actually become a better and safer rider. Thanks to all at SMT. Rob.

Great news Rob and well done.

I originated from Bedfont / Feltham (went to Longford School) before moving to the Cotswolds 14 years ago.

Glad you got hold of a good riding school, as you say it makes all the difference.

What bikes are you looking at not.

Thanks, for that. am so pleased to have passed, not looking for a bike (well to be truthful no money!) but am very happy with my 125cc, that will raise a few eyebrows! but it is cheap to insure, 110mpg and is fine for the little commute I do daily.

I used Ace to do mine, but their Epsom office. Some of the Staines guys rode over to Epsom some mornings, so I presume you'll have the same instructors. Fiona and Tony were good. I have no basis for comparison... but I was pleased with the training.

Edit: you already passed, ha. Congrats!
