Instructor Training
This is a brief insight into what we can offer you so that you can become a motorcycle instructor.
Whether you want to be a down-trained instructor working within an established school, are looking for a career change or if you are looking to set up a new business, GEG motorcycle instructor training can help you fulfil your ambitions! The rewards are very satisfying; from issuing your first CBT certificate to your last full test pass.
You will need to learn to adapt your instruction to suit a range of pupils from a rider who has been riding for years but has not taken a test to a complete novice who has always wanted to ride but is very nervous. You will need to be able to identify problems with riding techniques and explain ways of correcting them. The quality of your instruction and delivering it with confidence are of key importance - taking a 16 year old on the road for the first time is a huge responsibility!
Whatever your reason for wanting to be an instructor, you can feel confident that the training you receive from us is technically correct and works well in real life situations.
Effective Motorcycle Instructor courses take time; unfortunately there are
no short cuts.
Our courses are tailored to suit you and can be done around your present work
and are based on theory and practical teaching methods as well as your own
personal riding techniques.
Bike sales are increasing, middle age riders want to get back on their bikes and there is an abundance of young riders waiting to do CBT’s.
Not only do we want you to enjoy teaching pupils to ride a motorcycle/moped, we want you to enjoy your training.
What do I need to be a motorcycle Instructor?
- A full UK Motorcycle Driving licence held for more than 3 years, with no more than 3 points on your licence.
- No pending or criminal convictions.
- Personality. Without doubt, personality can make the whole learning experience more enjoyable, and if it’s fun people will tell others.
- Patience and understanding! Remember the last time you had to learn something new and you were nervous?
- A professional attitude
- All potential instructors
will be assessed by a DSA area manager before attending Cardington
- The rest we can teach!

Instructor Experience Day
We run an experience day. Quite simply, you spend a day with another potential instructor and we talk about becoming an instructor, work possibilities, or even setting up your own school. We give an overview and introduction to the course with simple instruction tasks, we have a little look at your riding then at the end of the day we sit down with each instructor and have a 1 to 1 going over the various tasks we have done. The advantage is that there’s only a small outlay, you can make sure this is what you are want and you are happy with what we offer. The cost is £89.00 including lunch. When you carry on to the full instructor course your £89.00 is discounted off the total price.
