DAS training and test on weekend

[Bumblebee7]

Hello, apologies if this has been asked already but I'm looking for a bike training centre (or even 1-1 instructor) to do my DAS training and test with on a weekend.

A friend previously recommended 'off the kerb' in shepherds Bush which is where I did my CBT and I thought they were great. They're able to do training on weekends but the test centre they use has stopped offering weekend tests so I'm looking for alternative suggestions.

I have used the entirety of my holiday allowance for this year (wedding + honeymoon later in the year saw to that) so it must be weekends. My current bike (Honda CB125F) insurance is up for renewal mid October so I'd love to pass by then so my insurance cost decreases.

I've passed the theory and have been riding at least 20 miles a day for the last 9 months so I hope I won't need too much training (was looking at 3/4 day courses).

I'm based in West London by I'd be happy to travel a couple of hours to help make it happen. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Don't think the DVSA examiners work weekends so no tests?

Did all my training during weekends and took two half days off to do tests. I just paid per lesson - was £55 for a two hour less. Took about 3/4 for mod 1 and then 2 more for mod 2.

Fortunately I passed both first time. It was cheaper and worked better for me than an intensive course.

Ask local schools if you can do something similar.

Any possibility of days off in lieu?
Or pull a sickie when you get your test dates!

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I'll have to wait until next year. I don't have any way of getting days in lieu, I don't have any allowance left and I've not taken a single sick day since I started working at 16.

I've done further research and I can't find any dvsa centre near London that's open on a weekend, so I'll just have to be patient.
