Upon registering a new rider, you account will need grading by a member of the team. We will be on hand to do this within 24 hours. Until this is done it will show that we are fully booked. Our diary is not released for the full year.
It is important you have a good rapport with your instructor as this will play a crucial part in your progress. Our instructors will discuss your objectives, aims and ambitions with you. They will help you feel relaxed and ready to learn, giving you a chance to communicate with them if you have any worries or concerns or simply are just not sure on something.
We have a range of different instructors; as you progress further with your riding skills you will have the chance to experience their different teaching methods, this benefits the rider by having methods explained in a different way. Our instructors work together as a team, they collaborate with each other to help you get the best experience to benefit your learning!
