My wife’s family are from Newcastle and I sometimes have to go there because of work. A1 seems to have the best reviews. How long is the DAS course with A1? I want to get my test done and dusted ASAP, but I’m concerned that there’s going to be big backlogs because of the pandemic. Does anyone know if I’ll have to wait months and months these days?

What made you assume I was from the North East? Which one is better? I can see how a DAS course is planned out on the Newcastle Rider Training website, but on the A1 Motorcycle Training School LTD I can only see how many hours. I am from Darlington. The A1 training has a lot more reviews online and a good rating. Which training did you go to exactly? Also, are things back to normal or is there a long waiting time to get your training and test these days?

What made you think A1 training? What is that? I don’t know any local training places. I haven’t looked yet.

Hi, Thanks for welcoming me to this forum. I am hoping to get my full bike license ASAP. Thank you, Poodles

Hi people, I am n my early 30s and I have been meaning to get my full bike license for a few years now, but I was working away and I got married and had two children. The time has come for me to now get my bike license once and for all. I rode an Aprilia RS125 for a few years in my late teens so I know how to use a geared bike. I also have ridden a racer bike since I was a kid so I have got plenty of years of experience riding on roads, how to maintain stability at low speeds, etc. I have my theory test booked for tomorrow and I’m fairly confident that I’ll pass it. I have been doing mock tests online and I have passed every single time. I have also revised the Highway Code and to be honest I think most of the answers are fairly obvious and you can quite easily eliminate two of the possible answers straightaway. So, after I have completed and passed my theory test I shall want to get in touch with a local motorbike training place. I have looked online and I have noticed DAS courses. How long do these last? Is it a week of intense training and the two tests? I am hoping to get a full bike license in the next two months at the most. Is this going to be possible since the backlog from Covid-19, etc? Do most places have room for people or am I going to have to wait months and months these days? I know that the CBT only takes one day. I want to pay for a course so I can get my license ASAP like we all do, right? Can anyone give me any advice with regard to what things are like at the moment? Thanks, Poodles
