Best direct access courses for A2 license in Oxfordshire area?

[Constantlyexhausted]

Hello!

I'm looking to get my A2 full license via a direct access course. I live in the Oxfordshire area and have just had a quick Google; for 3-day courses (which is what the company is saying is suitable for my level of experience) it costs around £600! Bloody expensive.

Any recommendations? Does anywhere go cheaper than this?

Context: I have about 3-4 months experience of intense (almost) every day riding, at least an hour a day, sometimes up to 8 hours a day; on automatic, semi-auto and manual bikes from 100cc to 650cc (various mopeds, Honda Grom, Honda CRF150L + CRF250L, Yamaha MT-03, Honda CB500X + CB500F, Honda XR650L Kawasaki Versys 650); on all road surfaces including rush-hour inner-city roads, 70mph motorway speeds and rocky dirt trails. As all of this was abroad, I've never completed my CBT.

What would you recommend? I want to get my license ASAP.

Thanks!

Are you old enough to go for your full A? My course was 3 day 750 including tests and test time. My instructor offered 2 days to someone who did a sighting lesson with me with a similar story to yours. I guess that was cheaper. 600 for three days does not seem that much to me when you think th einstructor needs to earn, pay for bikes and insurance etc.

Nope, I'm well within the A2 age bracket unfortunately, otherwise I would certainly go for A

True about the price! There's a lot you're paying for, especially if you compare to how much getting your car license costs.

Don't get me wrong, £600 is a lot of money and not easy to find but it is a reasonable amount for what you get I think.
