COURSE DETAILS
MODULE 1
This consists of a series of manoeuvres that are conducted at the DSA Multi Purpose Test Centre. Some of these are at slow speeds (such as a slalom, figure of eight and a U-Turn) and some at higher speeds (a controlled stop, emergency stop and a 50kmh, (about 32 mph) avoidance manoeuvre), which require a good standard of machine handling skills.

​
The fees for Module 1 training are usually between £150 - £200, inclusive of test fee.
