ABOUT TESTS
Don’t be put off by the word ‘Test’. There are tests for the complete novice through to the advanced rider. Depending on the level of each test, a qualified instructor will teach you in small groups on a weekly basis for 6-15 weeks. Tests range from D Test that is aimed at the complete beginner through to the A Test. The A Test is a level of achievement held in high esteem and usually taken at about the age of 21. (Members usually take the ‘B’ Test at around the age of 16 and successful members are then eligible to start assisting to teach). There is also training for the Riding and Road Safety Test. We arrange most test tuition sessions during the winter months.
To register your interest for tests this year, please can you contact Caroline Thornton 07796 930195
