sounds sketchy as hell!! I can't remember the exact details of mine but.... We had about an hour in the classroom first then went to the practise area (a huge car park of a sports club). Bike each, I think there was maybe 4 or 5 of us at first, 2 of us on geared and the rest on twist and gos. Instructor got the scooter guys going then spent more time with us going through everything. Then another instructor arrived to take the scooter guys (think they were refreshers) out on the roads whilst we did more gear practise and stuff. Then I feel we had a lunch break (maybe 2 / 2.5 hours on bike in carpark at this point?) then discussed how we were doing over lunch asked if we were happy to go out on the road... Then maybe an hour on the road, stopping periodically for a chat about what we were doing right and wrong or to discuss real world hazards and junctions. Back to the school paperwork and a chat about DAS. I'm pretty sure I was there from 9 until at about 3!
