Most motorbike schools use school playgrounds for CBT training so can only conduct CBT courses at weekends which means they may have a waiting list.
DMS has its own on-site private training grounds, so we very rarely have a waiting list, in general, we can take your booking with 24 hours notice.

Please contact the office for further information. Each customer is unique & requires training centred to them, one size doesn't fit all. You will be trained to the highest standard possible in readiness for your motorcycle test & beyond. We offer pay as you go & intensive packages.
Please note: We will not compromise our training. We will always guide you to the most economical training package that suits both your needs and budget but never to the detriment of your safety, gaining your motorbike licence at the first attempt and our reputation as one of the leading providers of motorbike training in Derbyshire.
It can take between 1 (intensive course) and 6 weeks depending on what training package you have chosen, how often you can commit to lessons, your ability (some people naturally take longer than others), the time of year (test dates can be further away in the summer months as this is the busiest time of year), passing first time (we have a first time pass rate of well over 90%), if you fail module 1 or 2 you will have to wait 3 or 10 days respectively for a re-test.
