At our partner BMW Rider Training school in Darlington, expect highly-experienced, professional instructors to cover every aspect of tuition.

Rider Training Courses
CBT Plus Course
Learning on a new BMW G 310 R, this acclaimed two-day CBT course dedicates more time than a basic CBT to equip you with a broad set of skills to get you started safely on two wheels.
Once you've mastered machine control, observation, and road positioning, the CBT permits you to ride a 125cc geared or automatic motorcycle with 'L' plates for up to two years. This course is the perfect base to step-up to a full motorcycle licence, plus the CBT can be combined with our Direct Access courses.
Direct Access Course
From complete-novice to a fully-qualified rider, this course is designed for everyone. The seven-day Direct Access course is the perfect way to pass the motorcycle test within a week, all whilst learning the essential skills to make you a safe and skilled rider.
Alternatively, choose the three-part DAS Elements course, which focuses on each individual test element before progressing to the next level. With options on courses from two to eight days, BMW Rider Training can cater for all riding experiences.
Direct Access: Unlimited Course
For a one-off fee, upgrade your seven-day or 'Elements' Direct Access course to an 'Unlimited' training programme, providing the reassurance of a guaranteed pass.
This course allows you to take as much premium training and as many attempts at both the Module One and Two tests as required to pass, without any additional costs.
