Guest Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Hello it's my first post, I've recently booked my DAS a four day course with ART in Crawley West Sussex. I'm curious to no if anybody has experience with this riding school, also how much riding I can expect to do over the few days. Also is £700 a reasonable price? not that it matters now.Thanks in advanced. Quote
Throttled Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I find that lessons are about £80 for 2 hours, so how many hours of tuition will you get? Quote
Throttled Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Thinking back I was told about 10 lessons, after completing the CBT, to the Mod 2, which by the time I do mine is right, so that will be about 20 hours tuition and £800 spent. Quote
Guest Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks for the responses and welcomes. 3 days 9-4 and on the fourth day both modules and I assume some sort of training in the morning. Frankly I'm happy to pay if its the best way to prepare for the tests. Quote
Throttled Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 That would suggest about 18-20 hours of tuition and then the tests, so yes that would be about right. You are brave, I decided doing my lessons over time, 5 months now, with hundreds of hours riding my own bike on L plates in between. My Mod 1 is next week and there is no date set yet for the Mod 2. Good luck when it comes. Quote
Guest Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I was under the impression that most new riders do these four day courses, my only concern is that I've paid for module 2 and not yet passed module 1.Best of luck next week. Quote
bumble Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 hellooooooooi can recommend them, ive just passed both of my tests with them,instructors are sooooo lovely,good luck, Quote
dispersion Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I just paid £570 for DASMines basically similar, 9-4 2 days then Mod 1 on a 3rd day then aother day of training (maybe two) and mod 2 on the 5th day.Basically same as yours but not both tests on the same day!Good luck with yours! I managed to negotiate the price down, No CBT included though Quote
Stuno1 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Welcome. I did a 6 session das course and it took 4 months with waiting for a couple of re-tests. I you fail mod 1 (which I am sure you won't ;0) ) they will just put out your mod 2 so won't cost you any more dude. I think the das route is great. Got me on the bike I wanted so happy days. Good luck.Stu Quote
Throttled Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 After my dismal CBT, (I don't know why the instructor gave me a certificate) I was sure the route for me was time and lessons and to get my own bike. Seven months later, numerous cancelled lessons/tests, I am thinking maybe I should bite the bullet and blast it in a week. Quote
littlecat Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 i spent about £480 and had 9 hours tuition and both tests in that , but i had been riding for a while , had done the cbt beforehand , and had previous experience on smaller bikes Quote
