With over 100 years of combined experience across our five instructors, we have encountered a wide range of riding situations and challenges. This experience allows us to deliver safe, structured and effective training, giving you the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to prepare for your test and continue riding safely long after you pass.
However, experience doesn't mean we ever stop learning.
At 1066 Motorcycle Training, we are committed to continually improving our standards. We provide in-house training for future instructors and carry out regular internal assessments and progression testing to ensure our knowledge, skills and teaching methods remain current and effective.
Requirements
To ensure you are fully prepared for your training day, please make sure you meet all the following requirements before attending.
1. Bring the Correct Driving Licence and Identification
You must bring a valid licence card, which can be one of the following:
A full UK driving licence.
A UK provisional driving licence.
An EU driving licence with a valid UK counterpart licence number, where applicable.
If your driving licence does not include a photograph, you must also bring an additional form of photographic identification, such as a valid passport.
2. Meet the Eyesight Requirements
You must be able to read a standard vehicle registration plate from a distance of 20 metres. If you wear glasses or contact lenses to meet this requirement, please ensure you wear them during training and bring them with you.
3. Have a Good Understanding of English and the Highway Code
You must be able to speak and understand English to a good standard so that you can follow your instructor's directions, understand safety briefings and communicate effectively throughout the training session.
You should also have a good working knowledge of the Highway Code, including road signs, traffic rules and safe road use.
4. Be Confident Riding a Bicycle
You must be able to ride an adult-sized bicycle confidently and maintain your balance. This is important because the basic balance, coordination and control skills required for cycling are relevant to motorcycle training.
5. Wear Suitable Clothing and Footwear
Appropriate clothing is essential for your comfort and safety during training. Please arrive wearing:
Leathers or Sturdy Jeans: Full-length, leather or durable denim jeans that provide suitable leg coverage.
Strong Boots: Sturdy footwear that covers your feet and ankles and provides adequate support.
Please Avoid: Trainers, Sandals, Shorts and other clothing or footwear that may not provide adequate protection. We also ask that you do not have any accessories such as key chains or loose items externally that could be a safety issue.
Important: Please check that you meet all these requirements before your training date. If you are unable to provide the required identification, meet the eyesight standard or wear suitable clothing, your training may need to be postponed.
Start Time: You MUST arrive for your course 15 minutes before the start time. We will allow a small grace period to allow for traffic issues of a maximum of 30 minutes. After this time you will be unable to attend your course and this will result in the forfeiture of all fees paid, with no refund available.
