New Rider Courses

Never ridden a motorcycle before?
In line with the Driving Standards Agency’s ideal of structured, modular training over a period of time, here at ART, we offer a variety of courses designed with the individual in mind to give you the very best start, making your motorcycle lessons safe and enjoyable. New Rider Courses are a 90 minute one on one motorcycle lesson

One of our qualified instructors will teach you on our 18,000 sq ft secure, off road training pad, with no pressure of having to do well in front of a group of strangers, very important if you are at all nervous or anxious about riding a motorcycle for the first time. 

ART first started running our New Rider Courses in 2007, nice to see a few others running them now. They do say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery! But do they use only fully qualified motorcycle rider trainers or just D.V.S.A. approved ones?

We cannot recommend strongly enough the value of this course if you have little or no previous motorcycle experience. Included in the course price is, motorcycle or scooter hire, ALL motorcycle safety clothing and helmet use, and protection from any insurance excess, giving you total peace of mind to relax and enjoy learning to ride. If you have ridden before but are "rusty" or would like an introductory lesson, a 90 minute course is the ideal start.

Motorcycle lessons for 17 years upwards.

Before your CBT.

If you have never ridden a manual bike before (with clutch & gears) our New Rider Course will give you the skills and confidence to move onto taking your CBT with ease, you will receive personal tuition in the safety off our secure off road training area. You will learn how to pull away & stop smoothly before moving onto changing gears and then slow control techniques to include figure of eights and U-Turns.
Start your CBT course knowing that you CAN ride already with confidence.

After your CBT.
Once you have completed your CBT, why not come back & see us on a regular basis? Build up your experience & skill over a time frame to suit you, and best of all spread the cost of your full licence.

After your test.

If you have passed your bike test but not ridden for a while? Then a 90 minute lesson on one of our bikes is ideal for a refresher before jumping straight back on your own.

Scooter lessons, starting out for the first time, 16 years old?

For 16 year old's who have no experience of being on the road we offer a one to one lesson, the first part session can spent the safety of the off road area and we can schedule some extra time in the classroom for hazard perception and highway code knowledge. This is especially important if you have never been on the road before.

This course is ideal for making sure that your Son or Daughter gets the best possible start before moving onto a C.B.T.

Please note we do not have any 50 cc manual mopeds (clutch and gears) sorry.
