Get some of your ACC levy back

[rastuscat]

Yes, this year again ACC is heavily subsidising rider training in Canterbury.

It's happening elsewhere too, but I know it's happening in Canterbury.

Go to

http://www.rideforever.co.nz/training/

Here's how it works. Enrol for a course that normally costs, say $295. Do the course, and pay only $50. the provider then pays the balance.

Now, you can sit around and grizzle about how unfair it is, how they should take their masks off and stop robbing us, yaddy yaddy yaddy. Sadly, you may have to wait a while for that.

Or, you can go and do some training, have them pay for it and feel like you at least got some value for your money.

If you want, pm me and I'll send you a brochure, but it's easier just to go to the website.

Donuts.

Best $50 I ever spent. And your entitlent clock resets annually so you can go again after Novembef. $240 saved theres a few years acc msac money recovered.

On the off chance that the trainers are actually getting paid $295 per rider, I'll still sit it out on principle.

Did it with Pro Rider up in Whangarei a month ago very good value, all day on a circuit up here I often ride in about an hour, was shagged by the time I got back home, lots of good advice / sometimes reinforcing what you already know but good to have a professional follow and critique how you ride, great group of like minded participants so a good day.

Have a good time sitting on your principles. You won't be any better off, but have a good time anyway.

The guys who deliver the courses are private companies who contract to ACC. They're entitled to earn a living.

I did it a year or so ago. Well worth the $50 it cost my employer ... 'personal development'.

I'm keen for more rider training, as I really need some.

Good heads up. Thank you.

Take it however you want to read it.

Not to make a big issue of it Drew, but what is your issue with trainers getting paid? Do you do your job for free?

[Akzle]

can i ride a non-rego bike at the training?

So THAT,s how you stop them from bursting into flames!

I have no problem with the trainers getting paid.

I should of course have kept my trap shut until I know what the course entails and how many people there are per trainer. But if it's more than 3, I think they are milking a system and part of the problem.
