Yup. Good guys and highly recommended. Not off road but they are running a track day next year at Three Sisters.

This is a good one http://www.yamaha-offroad-experience.co.uk/ Geraint Jones is a legend in the Offroad world and his courses are very good

Local off road

+1 for i2i - they do level 1 and 2 and you can save money if you take your own bike. Or why not give this lot a go - recently opened in N Wales:

There's an article in this months TBM about an outfit that run training trail rides in the Peak District.
More of a "ride with comments" than training though, but does cater for novices.

I did notice that a couple of photos in the article were taken on the trail up from Wildboarclough (used to be no access for cars but OK for bikes). I thought this was now a resticted byway
