Fingal Co Council run a decent training programme 'Star Rider Training'
I'm thinkin of doin an advanced course myself soon. Also, its worth checkin out what courses are recognised by insurance companies for discounts, etc.

I've been thinking of doing 1 in the next month or 2 as well.

Carole Nash will give you 10% off for most recognised courses. I imagine
Hibernian will do similar?? I think Hibernian used to have the ignition course for bikes but not anymore as far as i know. Best bet is to ring them up before you do a course to see if they will give a discount.

The most common one is ROSPA: http://www.motorbiketraining.net/courses.html

and the other one they recommend is by Fingal County Council:

You can find most of the courses listed here:

I did a pre-test lesson with David Lyons (Easy Rider training) and he seemed to know his stuff and he does lots of courses to.
