boblibarn

Hi all hubby is 50 in a few weeks and he has always wanted to pass his motorbike test , I've looked around and contacted a few people but am very confused, I would really like to arrange it as a surprise gift , not sure how to go about it or the cost? He would need to start from fresh, so cbt etc , many thanks for any help

Just Google Motorbike Training in your area.

Or alternatively buy a copy of MotorCycleNews and check out the Training Section.

The best way is to pay for an intense course with a guaranteed test date at the end (I think the schools block book)

Don't know where you live but there is a school called Cardrome Motorcycle Training in Hornchurch which has a decent reputation and uses a private compound that is made up like a small road network to help get the trainees confidence and ability to a decent level before going on the road.

Another decent one is Academy.

See if any reputable companies do gift cards or pre-paid vouchers or something so he can contact them and arrange the dates and tinmes ect

you're looking at £500 - £600 for a 3 - 4 day all in DAS course, pretty much the same kind of place all around the country.

ypu start off doing a CBT, if you 'pass' this, you get chucked on a larger 600cc or so bike to do the further training.

do the off road part of the test, and then the on road part

Not forgetting he has to pass the theory test, so the OP needs to check with the riding schools if they expect the pupil to have already passed their theory test before starting everything, otherwise you can't do the MOD1 & MOD2 tests.
