IBT Module 1,3,5 South Dublin Recommendations

pittsburgh

Hi All,

Back story I did my theory in 2007 when I was 16/17

Got a 125cc and rode it for 2 years. Stopped riding than for a few years

Got my 3rd provisional in 2015 when I was 25 and booked my full test, driving a Bandit 600cc now.

I did not realise I had to do IBT as I got my theory in 2007 before the rules came in, but since i was under 18 the theory only gave me A1 license, So my A license was deemed "new" in 2015. So I was just waiting the 6 months for my full test, when the letter never came I emailed RSA and they said no test date would be given until they get my IBT module 1,3,5 results.

So here I am, looking for some recommendations for IBT Module 1,3,5 - bare in mind I have been driving 125ccs for 2 years, and a 600cc for 1 year - So I have a lot of experience etc

Is there anyway that I bypass the beginner stuff?

Any info would be appreciated

You officially have to cover everything including the basics, but I'm sure a good instructor could tailor it to your experience and focus on advanced riding techniques .etc.

Thanks for that - may I ask is it IBT all 1 on 1 or can it be done in a group?

Is it done over weekends or can be done midweek?

Any recommendations and prices I should be looking at would be excellent

Cheers

Don't know about the instructors in Dublin. It is possible do it in a group to save money.

It can be done whenever your instructor is available. It can also be condensed into 2 days or spread out into smaller sessions.

I'd recommend him to anyone. Will tailor your requirements also does advanced driving if needed.

I passed first time out with the grim reaper of testers

Thanks for that.

Can I ask what would the rough amount I would expect to pay for Module 1,3,5 and do they provide the bike and gear, or must I use my own bike and gear?

Thanks

So after a look about looks like the prices are 450-500 ish for module 1,3,5? Seems very expensive...

Is there any other cheaper hidden gems about, I would probably need to do by ibt during the week as have sport on weekend

I did my IBT in January at ADS school of motoring near Tallaght. I paid full whack but I've a friend who found a groupon/pigsback? deal for half price awhile back so if you've the time then maybe keep an eye out for one.

As regards the quality of the instructor, I only did it the once so have no others to compare it to but I was very happy with the instructor, patient, easy to understand and seems like a sound bloke.
Also managed to get a decent discount buying gear (helmet, gloves etc) at the place he recommended which was a bonus.

All that said, I'm a wobbling fledgling and wouldn't know the difference between a good and bad instructor.

Have you done you full test yet?

Going to need to get gear myself = know anywhere to get some affordable stuff? I presume they wont test you unless your fully geared up

No, only been on the bike a few months.

I got most of my gear second hand off adverts, the helmet I bought new as I wanted to be sure of it and the gloves I bought new because I'm a delicate snowflake and wanted warm hands from goretex/windproof/etc protection haha.

As I said, I'm an utter beginner, I'm sure the good folk on here can point you in the right direction for cheaper gear.
