The DAS assessment is viewed as the “easy” one. A quick, half-day formality that most instructors assume they can simply breeze through.
Most instructors fail because they underestimate the teaching standard required.
They treat DAS as a natural progression, a formality and not an assessment of professional instructional behaviour.
It’s testing your:
Ability to teach properly
Train at higher speeds
Give instruction in higher complexity scenarios
Manage the heightened risk
When power, speed, and consequences increase, DVSA assessors expect a higher level of structure, clarity, and educational delivery.
The normal route is to pass the CBT assessment and then go and have a go at the DAS assessment. That’s why 40% FAIL their first attempt!
What Our Course Gives You to SUCCEED at DAS:
Big-bike training demands more precision, more control, and better teaching.
"This course didn’t just prepare me, it changed the way I teach. I realised DAS wasn’t easy, I just hadn’t been taught to teach properly."
"The mock assessment was a wake-up call. I walked in confident and walked out structured. Best instructor training I’ve ever done."
This course is essential for:
If you want to deliver professional big-bike training and pass first time, this is the next step.
There are some common pitfalls when it comes to delivering DAS lessons during the DVSA DAS assessment.
Instructors fall short because they:
Don’t understand DAS-specific DVSA expectations Don’t know how to deliver DAS skills properly Don’t have a clear teaching framework Fail to manage risk at higher speeds Don’t deliver purposeful Client Centred feedback Struggle with higher-speed radio communication Use improvised, habit-based teaching instead of structured methodologyHigher speeds mean higher expectations and examiners want to see elevated educational delivery, not CBT lessons.
This gives you clarity about the standard you must meet.
This is what differentiates professional coaching from mediocre instruction.

Any trainer who believes DAS is “easy” or “just a formality” will probably fail because examiners expect far more teaching skill with higher risk training.
Yes they can be provided, the 650cc training motorcycles are supplied for training purposes. You can bring your own motorcycle for the road ride elements if you wish.
It’s a totally different training programme. The assessment is shorter, but the teaching standard is higher.
Most failures happen because instructors underestimate it and are not fully prepared.
