All of the courses are listed at the bottom of this page, and each of their individual pages include details on their purpose and how to book. You can also see what courses are running, and when, on the course calendar page.

Learning on your own, through private lessons, might be the way to get the full attention of an ICP qualified instructor but the way to experience the fun and community spirit of skating is to take a group lesson. Imagine: 5-10 other skaters, all at a similar skill level to you, laughing and joking as they learn new skills. Many of the friendships amongst skaters started life on a group course.

Focussed on teaching you how to practice, group courses move through one or more skills at a pace comfortable for the entire group. Whilst this can be a problem if you're struggling, you do get exposed to more inline skating skills and get to meet other skaters. Private lessons can sometimes get a bit intense; group lessons often allow you to stand back and watch others doing what you are trying to accomplish. Everyone struggles with something, and usually they struggle with the same thing, so learning with similarly skilled people, in a group environment, helps you to realise you are not alone.

A group course might be a single lesson or they can run over multiple days or weeks; they run with a goal in mind, like the Sunday Stroll or Street Skater courses; and they are typically cheaper than private lessons because the instructor can't give everyone their full attention.

If a group course runs over multiple days or weeks I typically say you do not have to attend every lesson, or you can attend but I won't charge you if you get nothing from it. It's not uncommon for people to be able to do one-or-two of the skating skills found on a group course, so why attend a lesson if you already know how to do it?

Typically I run group courses at £15 per lesson and, when the course runs over multiple days or weeks, I say you do not have to attend every lesson, and only pay for those you do.

Included in the price of a group course is access to the students area of this website, which forms a personal skating manual that grows with you over time.

You may attend a course, or any of the lessons that make up the course, more than once. Personally I find that the first time I do a course I'm so overwhelmed by the content that I don't take it all in: a second run through usually gives me the chance to concentrate on improving, rather than learning.

If you have attended a lesson on a course before you get a £5 discount if you come back.

Because group courses typically need 3 or more people to actually run I like to return the favour if you make a course happen. So, bring 3 of your friends with you on a course and you can go for FREE!
