Fucking hell! I've been quoted £480 including the test fee on a 5 day.

Where the hell are you going for this deal?

The one I've been offered is a 5 day course including:

Bike hire

Escort to test centre

Test fee

Plus I don't pay anything but the retest fee if I fail!

Wtf?

That's mental.

Mine was £400, for the CBT on Sunday, 3 days riding, then the test on Thursday. This would have included two re-tests if I'd failed the first one, but I'd have had to pay if I wanted extra lessons. This was 6 years ago.

Don't get me wrong, good training is priceless, but that's a lot of money.

Hi All,

I paid £624 for the CBT + four days on the 500cc including test fees. Didn't think that was too bad really! The other main training centre in the area was the same price but it was 3 days on 125 + only 2 on 500 (i.e. the day before your test, plus test day - I didn't think that was enough!)

However now I have to pay £170 on top for one day training including test fee for my retake Sad

I didn't have to pay for fuel - I know my hubbie did when he did his training many years ago Shocked

It's a lot I guess, i'm sure if you pass 1st time it'll be worth it.

Having a bike would be great to practise on but you'd still need a bit of tuition. What are the hours of your course? I'm doing 9am-14:15 every day this week.

I've just finished my second day and don't think i could go into a test right now. I had no previous experiance though, don't know if you did going into your test.

I'm glad i'm doing 5 days, i'd do more if i had the cash, the more tuition the better I say.

Each to their own tho.

Ive been riding at least 10 miles daily since november so I have experience riding, just need to adjust to a bigger bike and gears.

Im not actually bothered about being on a 5 day course. Its the cost. This is the most expensive ive ever come across! Its way above what ive seen around and expected even for a guaranteed pass so it must be because its over a weekend/bankholiday.

Gonna ring em tomoz... Armed tons of questions now Very Happy

..

edit. Found the letter they sent out with the details.. Its 8:30-4:30 and its a guaranteed pass whatever course (free extra tution/retest im assuming)

If yer riding everyday then I agree Scorpius, maybe 5 days is a bit much.

If i'd been out everyday since i did my CBT till now I would have gone for the shorter courses.

If it's that much, don't do DAS!

Do the A2 test for £50 (you don't need lessons or anything, I didn't anyway) on a little 125, and wait a couple of years to be able to ride bigger than 33bhp.
