    Sure.
    My experience was that the advanced Riderskills course assumed the knowledge and skills covered by RRRS had been mastered and then moved on from there.
    Having said that, they checked first - I had like a half hour test of where my basic skills were at before we moved on to the course proper
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Thanks for that.
    From what you say though, one could assume that he would have covered that ground had he thought it was missing, suggesting that he adapts as he sees fit.
    Which of course you can do one on one and is an advantage over RRRS.
    The guy that takes the riderskills attended the RRRS course about October or November last year and I understand he has done so in the past.
    We've had a few riding instructors through it.

    I think that's a fair assumption and one would expect Riderskills to have some advantages, given the price difference.
    I also think that it compliments RRRS quite well for exactly the reason that it can be tailored to the individual. What I envisage is that having completed RRRS and spent maybe a year or 2 putting it into practice, the individual is in a position to decide what they need to work on and can go to Riderskills to get help to make it so - at least, that's how it worked for me. It's not cheap though, which may mean that they are automatically dealing with people who are committed to investing in their own safety and so are almost guaranteed good results.
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.
