Just collected my training booklet on Friday. Got home, logged in and looked at the schedule for theory lessons. It seems that the Class 2B course is quite popular. No slots available till the 13th of March!
There's a practical on the 19th of February but I'm rushing a 2000 word HR essay which must be handed up on that day. Will need all the time I can get.
It seems that I wont be starting lessons till March :(
Also realised China doesnt allow foreigners to ride in their country. So maybe head towards India? Will get myself certified in the mean time.
