You have taken rider training with more than ONE organisation .. ??? ... WHY ... ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????

If you needed less ... why should you GET more ...

Your experience with a variety of instructional organizations show ... you are lacking in confidence in the instructions value ...
