West Pennine Motorcycle Training Terms & Conditions
The base start level for any course is the ability to ride a bicycle.
Bikes Provided :West Pennine and its agents/employers on grounds of safety/ability have the right to decide which motorcycle or scooter is appropriate for training/hire regardless of the type of course booked. If an alternative motorcycle is provided on the grounds of safety or ability no refund is due.
When a course, training, lessons or a test (of any type) are not completed or used through no fault of West Pennine no refunds will be made.
Any fees or costs (including test fees) which are saved by West Pennine in the interest of the trainee (ie if trainee is not currently ready for test), will be saved purely for the benefit of future training for the trainee with West Pennine and are not available as a refund.
When a test is cancelled by the Driving Standards Agency (DVSA), including for reasons of weather, if the training has run to the allotted test time then no liability is taken for any consequential loss by West Pennine and the course or lessons is considered completed without refund or liabilities. Where the DSA is liable it has its own compensation scheme (see links page). If the test is cancelled by weather alone West Pennine will charge a nominal fee to cover base costs to rerun the test/tests.

Trainees are responsible for their behaviour and the behaviour of any associates. Any training will cease and you will be asked to leave the premises.
