First Lesson – What to expect...

Most people are nervous about getting behind the wheel of a car for the first time, but don’t worry!
Your Auto Tech driving instructor will soon put you at ease. 

You will not be expected to drive off on a busy road on your first driving lesson.

Your driving instructor will introduce you to the controls and safety aspects of the car, taking you through all of the controls and pedals and how to use them.  After that you’ll start the car up and drive it a little way down the road before bringing it to a stop.  

You will then be introduced to each stage of driving in manageable stages.  Our driving lessons are structured in a way to enable you to pass your driving test in the quickest possible time.

Driving lessons can be structured to suit your individual needs. We advise you have one or two lessons per week. 

 Intensive Driving Courses

If you want to learn to drive as soon as possible, maybe our Intensive Driving Courses are for you.
Instead of months of learning to drive you can complete your driving lessons and pass your driving test in weeks!  

Your level of driving experience will determine how many driving lessons make up your intensive driving course, each intensive driving course can be tailor-made to suit your personal requirements and fit around your work or college commitments. If you have previous driving experience you will need an assessment lesson to determine the length of driving course that you require.

If you’ve driven before and only need to brush up on your driving skills then you may wish to consider a 10 or 20 hour intensive driving course. On the assessment lesson you will be advised of the length of driving course that you need.

Intensive driving courses can be arranged over one or two weeks, if you prefer they can be arranged over a longer period of time, you can discuss this and plan your driving course with your driving instructor on your assessment driving lesson.

You will also need to check your eyesight.  You need to be able to read a standard number plate from 20.5 metres (approximately 5 car lengths).  If you wear glasses or contact lenses you must wear them whilst driving.

From the end of February 2011 you will have to complete a course of Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) before you can ride on the public road.  CBT can only be delivered by AMI’s. You must pass both the off-road and on- road tests within two years of passing your theory and hazard perception tests.  In addition you must hold a current CBT completion certificate when taking both tests. CBT certificates have a two year life.  If you do not pass your off-road and on-road tests within this two year period you will have to complete another CBT course.

First Lesson – What to expect

Most people are nervous about getting on a motorcycle for the first time, but don’t worry your Auto Tech AMI will soon put you at ease.  You will be introduced to CBT as laid down by Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA).  After that you will then take motorcycle lessons for both your off-road and on-road tests in manageable stages that best suits to enable you to pass your motorcycle test.  We would advise you to have one or two lessons per week.

CBT#

Element A. Introduction to CBT This element is an introduction to CBT.  It will take the form of a discussion.  Your instructor will explain the basics and not get involved in complicated issues.

Element B. Practical on-site training . This element provides you with an introduction to the motorcycle.  You will not start riding the motorcycle in this element although you’ll get hands-on training. 

Element C. Practical on-site riding. In this element you will begin riding a motorcycle.  By the time you’ve finished this element you’ll have developed enough basic skills to allow you to ride a motorcycle under control.

Element D. Practical on-road training. Having carried out your theory and practical training off-road, your instructor will now prepare you for the on-road element of CBT.  The knowledge you gain now will be the foundation on which to build your motorcycling career.

Element E. Practical on-road riding. This is the final element of the CBT course.  You’ll ride out on the road accompanied by, and in radio contact with, your instructor (and possibly with one other trainee), for at least two hours.

Intensive Motorcycle Courses

If you want to learn to ride a motorcycle as soon as possible then maybe our intensive courses are for you

Instead of months of learning to ride you can complete your motorcycle tests in weeks!
Your level of motorcycle experience will determine how many off-road and on-road lessons will make you your intensive course.  Each intensive riding course can be tailored to suit your personal requirements and fit around your work or other commitments.

Following completion of your CBT course your Auto Tech AMI will advise you on the number of lessons you may require for an intensive course.  Intensive courses can be arranged over two or three day periods so as to fit in with test booking schedules.  You can discuss this and plan your motorcycle course with your AMI on completion of CBT.
