DAS training West Midlands

[simoncrn]

Hello Everyone, in a few months time I will be doing my motorbike training. My Theory is booked for 13th June. I was going to do my training at Streetbike in Halesowen until I found out how much there course is, £1090 for the 5 day course and that is not including the CBT. I'm now looking at doing my CBT and DAS course at Black Country Motorcycle Training in Tipton. There DAS course is £700 for CBT and 11 lessons. Has anyone got any first hand experience of Black country motorbike training?

No, but I used these guys https://www.ridersmotorcycletraining.com/?gclid=CLuBnae46NMCFe297QodMo4M8A
You will want the Brierley Hill franchise - I used the Worcester one and was pleased with the course - friendly and committed to customers' success at test.

£700 Sounds about right but then there's clarification needed on if that includes a crack at the module one and two at least once and what happens in the event that you fail. Also clarification on exactly how long those 11 lessons last, is that 11 hours or half days or full days (the latter I'd imagine not.)

Also I'd want to do a CBT, prior to investing £700, to try a company out before handing over a wad of cash.

Then there's the do you do a pay as you go or risk it all with £700 because you're confident. To me there's confident and then there's being able to pass. I went the pay as you go route but whatever you're comfortable with so long as you know the insides and out and what is advertised for £700 because handing it over is the easy bit but getting it back, I can only assume, will be a lot harder.

I am biased because I've known big Kev the owner for over 20 years, he's been in business doing the training for most of this time, and for a training school to last this long he must be doing something right, and they do MOT's on a Sunday, how cool is that!

BCMT Are a decent bunch, I did my CBT with them, and some big bike training for my test many moons ago!!

Why go the sole DAS route? Why not get your CBT, thennride a 125 for 6 months or so, practice what you'll need to master, then, book a couple of hours with BCMT, or somewhere else, rent a bike, perhaps even off BCMT, and do the mod 1&2 yourself, really not difficult at all ! Damn sight cheaper as well!!

Hi Simon

Seems fair enough, I understand why you're doing it this way, in which case, all my dealings with BCMT have been good.

I recommend Motorcycle Training at DK Ltd. https://www.cbttrainingdudley.com/


I did pass MOD1 with Streetbike, but, they almost put me off going further, because I was so bad I needed 3-4 days training before they would put me in for Mod2.


Gaz was recommended. Did an assessment with him. Was told I was already close to test standard, did a days training and passed with no minors. Nice bloke and great trainer.

I trained with BCMT (Kev being a family friend) when I was 21 and was a bit put off by the amount of lessons they wanted me to do on a 125 before being put on a 600. It was something like 5 or 6.

After that I went with SOLO MCT in Walsall which was a bit further away but I was passed within the month after 5 lessons on a 600.
