With a rating of 4.8 stars, the school offers three types of training tailored to different rider needs.

At the core of the programme is the standard course, where one instructor works with a maximum of two riders.

In the afternoon, riders head out into regular traffic, where the instructor provides immediate feedback on riding technique and handling critical situations. The individual course offers the same programme in exclusive one-to-one instruction.

The unique offering is the Adventure Enduro course at a private off-road facility. The full-day programme includes theory, obstacle training, climbs, water crossings, rocky sections, and approximately 50–70 km of open-terrain riding, with the option to borrow a light enduro 250/350cc.
