Yup. My CBT was around £100 and by the time I'd finished all of the DAS I'd spent about £350 but ('cos I is brilliant) I only had a couple of lessons (but they were all dayers).
The school insisted that a) they'd get me through the test regardless of how long it took (without bumping up the cost) but b) (and more importantly) that they'd teach me to be a good rider and not 'how to pass the test'.
Since been back for some more advanced training and I would definitely recommend that.
Still a long way to go and experience counts but starting the right way is important.
