Just because you can ride, doesn’t mean you can’t ride better.

Even the Professionals get coaches.

It’s about you. We’ll put you through your paces and analyse your strengths and areas to improve.

Your trainer will give you an in-depth summary of your current level of riding and then provide you with a personalised training plan so that you can improve the areas of your riding that need it.

Here at The Ride Academy we will ensure that all of your advanced lessons/courses will be conducted on a 1-to-1 basis, this allows our instructors to tailor the lessons solely to your needs and target the aspects of your riding that will better benefit you in developing and moving forward.

Whether you’re looking to improve your riding skills on the road or you’re wanting to become a track star, our ROSPA gold, Enhanced Rider Scheme Post Test Trainers/Examiners and fully ACU race licence instructors have you covered.

The course

  • All sessions are completed in three-hour slots and are planned to work around you.
  • These sessions are different for each individual and are tailored to suit your needs.
  • As not everyone comes with the same skill set or picks up new skills at the same rate, lessons can be added or removed to suit you.

Types of full licence

There are different types of full Licence on offer, to suit what you’re looking for.

The types available are all dependent on your age and the bike you take your test on:

  • AM Licence (50cc) – If you only want to ride a scooter (16+)
  • A1 Licence (125cc) – Ideal for younger riders (17+)
  • A2 Licence (500cc) – More freedom and choice (19+)
  • A  Licence (650cc+) – Also referred to as full catergory A or Direct Access. It is the only option if you want to ride any bike. (Min 24+ or 21+ if you’ve held an A2 Licence for 2 years)

Course Requirements

To take your AM Course you will require:

  • Your Bike Licence
  • Your years of experience

The Ride Academy provides everything you need on the day. Bike hire, clothing (helmet, jacket, gloves, waterproof trousers) & all insurances.

You will need to wear sensible clothing – we suggest jeans and boots / trainers. Strictly no shorts, sandals or flip-flops. When you arrive for your CBT training, if your instructor feels that you are not sensibly dressed they could reject you for training.
