Instructors in Essex
Discussion
This is my first post in the Biker Banter forum so first of all 
After 4ish years of being with the Mrs I have finally convinced her that not all motorcycle riders are killed in horific accidents and she has agreed to me getting my license.....we still need to chat about the bike though apparently!
Thanks to the DVLA website I'm still a little confused as to exactly what I need to do to get a license i.e. do I need to take a CBT, theory test etc as I hold a full UK driving license but I was assuming that an instructor would be able to tell me all I need to know and that is my reason for posting.
If anyone can recommend or is infact an instructor based in the Witham, Braintree area of Essex I would be grateful for contact details so that I can discuss further and finally get on with doing what my 4 years of nagging has allowed!
Thanks in advance
Edited to add: I have now read the sticky for newbies and am aware that I will indeed need to take the theory test and CBT.

Paul Collins of Perfect Control - he is an advanced instructor but I am sure will be more than able to help. www.perfectcontrol.co.uk
Thanks for those ^^^, I'll give them a ring this week and see about getting something booked.
As a side issue, any idea how long it takes to get a provisional license through from application? I tried to do it online today but they needed my passport number! Balls!

That looks promising as well, the website says they have bases in Colchester and Chelmsford which are only 5-10 mins away.Cheers
