About Us ...

Hinckley Motorcycle Training Scheme was formed in 1991, evolving out of the Hinckley RAC/ACU (itself founded in 1977).

We have around 20 instructors with a vast range of riding experience, who are committed to providing friendly, expert and professional training.

As the instructors are all unpaid volunteers, you can not only be certain of the highest standard of training, but also be assured of a number of benefits:

  • Flexibility - Whilst we have work and family commitments, we will always try to meet your needs. If you're working shifts, for example, we'll see if we can arrange alternative days and/or times for your training.
  • Progress at your pace - The pace of the course and the time spent on individual aspects will largely be dictated by your progress. We do not need to 'achieve the numbers'.
  • Enthusiastic Instructors - Your instructor is doing the job purely and simply because he or she enjoys it. There is no better motivation.

And the quality of the training you receive is assured by the fact that the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), as well as our own Training Officer, monitor our instructors. Many instructors have also undergone formal assessment and certification by the DSA.

We also like to think of ourselves as friendly. We're happy to discuss all aspects of motorcycling and often establish a relationship with our trainees that lasts long after they've passed their test.
