Carl passes his motorcycle test at the double!

Huge congratulations once more, this time for Carl Robinson who early this morning passed his Direct Access module-2 motorcycle test first time – to go with the first time module-1 test pass just over a week ago!

His journey to this point was not without its challenges, though, as a difficult employer cancelled his holiday meaning he couldn’t take his test when it was first arranged; then he had an accident at home meaning he couldn’t take the re-arranged test!

All’s well that ends well, eh Carl!

Billie passes his motorcycle test first time with zero faults!

Yet another great example of the quality of training that we deliver here at Inner Circle – as Billie will no doubt testify!

This morning he passed his Direct Access module-2 motorcycle test first time and in great style as he scored the grand total of zero faults!

What makes this slightly more remarkable than usual is that just before heading out on test he broke the rear L-plate off! He was saved by the efforts of Kevin the examiner and the office sellotape and an improvised repair. Good job it didn’t affect his concentration!

Well done, Billie, a great result and nothing less than you deserved!

Another round of congratulations are due, as Andy sailed through his DAS module-2 motorcycle test first time this morning, having just passed his module-1 on Monday, also first time!

No wonder he looks happy as he proudly shows off his Inner Circle certificate, awarded for completing one of our DAS courses by passing his motorcycle test!

Well done, Andy!

Carl passes his motorcycle test first time with zero faults!

Huge congratulations to Carl who passed his Direct Access module-2 motorcycle test first time this morning, recording a very impressive clean sheet with no faults!

This goes with the first time Direct Access module-1 motorcycle test pass he achieved on Monday, when he recorded just 1 minor fault for riding at 49kph on the avoidance exercise not the 50kph required! (hardly a crime, that!)

Now he has the difficult job of choosing his first motorcycle, with so much choice of bike styles and models, he’s finding it hard to decide what he wants!

Whatever he decides, we’re sure he’s going to enjoy being a biker now he has his full motorcycle licence!

Huge congratulations are due to Tomasz, who today passed his Direct Access module-2 motorcycle test first time to go with his first time module-1 test pass from Monday, meaning he has got his full motorcycle licence in just 4 days and with just 2.5 days training on our experience rider course!

Yet another example of the high quality training you can expect from Inner Circle Training as he was taught by both Paul and Nic!

Well done, Tomasz, we look forward to seeing you again soon once you’ve decided which bike to buy!

No wonder Tomasz looks pleased, he's just passed his motorcycle test AND been given a certificate for completing his Inner Circle Training Direct Access course!

Halid passes both his motorcycle tests FIRST TIME!

Massive congratulations are due to Halid who had just 2 weeks to obtain his full motorcycle licence and has done just that with the support of Inner Circle Training!

Starting with his CBT and theory tests last week, this week Halid has completed one of our 3.5 day Direct Access (DAS) courses, adding an extra 3-hour session yesterday to give him maximum preparation and today it paid off as he added an excellent first time module-2 motorcycle test pass to go with his first time module-1 test pass from Monday!

So now he’s got a full motorcycle licence and can ride any bike he likes, no wonder he’s smiling!

Well done, Halid!

Inner Circle achieves MCIAC Accreditation!

We are thrilled to announce that Inner Circle Training has become the FIRST motorcycle training school in the North West to achieve the coveted MCIAC Accreditation!

This award has been developed by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCI) in conjunction with the IMI (Institute of Motor Industry) and is a professional qualification for ATB (Approved Training Body) owners. It is awarded following a course delivered by the MCIAC (Motorcycle Industry Accreditation Centre) and several follow-up visits and inspections to ensure that the ATB (in this case, Inner Circle Training) is well managed and professional. In order to achieve the award we have had to demonstrate to an independent assessor that our training school is of a very high standard – something our customers already know. And no we are accredited, our customers are surveyed monthly to ensure our standards remain at the highest level (and they are!); and we will be formally inspected annually too, to keep us on our toes!

In the words of the MCIAC themselves:

“MCIAC believe professionally recognised vocational qualifications are the future for those working in the rider training industry.  The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) hinted at this when they began working with stakeholders on Instructor Registration in 2011/12. This was abandoned when legislative changes became unlikely, so this left only the voluntary route and this is where MCIAC courses come in.

It is important that accredited ATB’s and Instructors get the extra recognition that they deserve for investing time, effort and money in their business. It is also important to the industry as a whole to encourage more, well trained, safe riders on our busy roads and for the future of motorcycling.

Currently the DVSA only check standards once every 4 years on average and are mostly by appointment.  With the MCIAC qualifications, all customers of accredited ATBs will be surveyed after their training, which will provide robust evidence based intelligence to ensure that our Quality Assured Award is only given to those ATB’s and Instructors who genuinely meet those standards 100% of the time.

Safety is paramount as we want to see more riders using PTW’s but not at the expense of more casualties and we believe that ATB’s and Instructors who take the opportunity to complete these courses will deliver a professional high quality training experience and will be able to prove it.  They will also be able to differentiate themselves from other trainers by proving that they are at a higher standard and understand the needs and wants of their customers.”

So now you have the proof that Inner Circle Training is the BEST place to learn to ride a motorcycle or scooter – we are currently the ONLY training school in the North West to have achieved this accreditation.

Our MCIAC certificate - the FIRST motorcycle training school in the North West to achieve this award!
