We are most commonly asked two questions:
How much will it cost to get my licence?
How long will it take to get my licence?
The answers are, like most motoring-related questions; “It Depends!”
Hopefully the tables below will give you an idea as to how much it is likely to cost to obtain the necessary sections of training certification, which will apply in many cases. As to the actual total number of training sessions, and elapsed time it may take to achieve passes at all levels, that will very much depend on the individual.
We do not run ‘intensive’ courses at Shireoak, simply because we do not believe those formats of training are conducive to producing the safest riding technique, as well as sufficient training to be able to demonstrate adequate skills at examination. Most people find it much better to have breaks of at least 2 days in between sessions, as more of the information taught will ‘stick’, providing the customer with the best value for their money,
as well as being better equipped to handle a larger machine correctly and safely.
Our CBT cost includes up to 7.5 hours of CBT training, whether you are experienced and can complete the training within a single day, or new to biking where we urge you to consider our student-focussed approach to riding by splitting the CBT syllabus into two sessions.
There is a lot to take in for people who are new to motorcycling, and as the CBT culminates with a minimum of two hours of road riding, it is far better and safer for students if they tackle this only if experienced, or ‘fresh’ by splitting the training over two visits. During your first part of the CBT, our instructors will assess your abilities and if needs be, instruct you on the bike of your choice or the one most suited to you. If it is felt that you require additional instruction,
it can be carried out in a separate interim session and only cost the discounted pro-rata rate over and above the base CBT costs.
In this way, all trainees completing a split-CBT, no matter how experienced they are, will be of a minimum standard when attending for their part 2 CBT. This also benefits all trainees in the form of either not being under pressure in front of other more experienced riders on the one hand, or experienced riders not having their day of training extended unnecessarily on the other. As already mentioned, there is a lot to cover on a CBT day, and it can be both mentally and physically taxing for novice riders.
We have found that this separation of training ensures all of our CBT days run smoothly for all our trainees, meaning far fewer requirements (and the expense to the trainee) of re-visits being needed.
