What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Consistent encouragement and patient instruction form the theme running through feedback for this York-based motorcycle training provider, whose team is repeatedly credited with settling nerves and building confidence in riders of all abilities. Customers describe completing CBT courses, module one and module two tests and direct access schemes, with numerous accounts of first-time passes following earlier unsuccessful attempts without formal tuition. Named instructors including Hayley, Mark, Martin, Matt, Dave Reeves and JJ attract praise for clear explanations, calm guidance and an open approach to questions throughout each stage.

Something that features in review after review is the tailored support extended to novices, nervous riders and those returning after long breaks, whether through one-to-one sessions, extended CBT training or adjustments for smaller riders. Reviewers also value the well-structured nature of the training, the selection of machines and the safe, unhurried practice environment. Setbacks are handled generously, with sessions rearranged at no additional cost after an on-road incident. Many riders progress from CBT through to full licence work with the same team, and some intend returning for further courses or to enrol relatives.

3D were amazing with me, I did my CBT with them. Then after doing my theory also with guidance from Hayley. I did my mod 1 and mod 2 with Hayley and Mark. They were both very good instructors. They were very fair throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I will be using 3D again shortly as my son wants his licence. A BIG thankyou to Hayley and Mark for getting me through my tests.

My son went to do cbt elsewhere and it was a terrible experience. Matt and Hayley looked after him and built up his confidence as he really wanted to learn gears from scratch and have a safe/ unrushed area to practice. They organised 1 to 1 training and an extended cbt and he really enjoyed the experience and now has his CBT. We would not hesitate to return.

I have done my CBT with 3D and it was a smooth process. After failing the mod 2 test several times attempting it on my own with no training, I went for the DAS unrestricted license with 3D and passed it first time. The instructors are friendly and easy to get on with. They will prioritise your safety instead above all else so do not take anything personally. They welcome any questions you have and will explain anything you're unsure about. Really glad I chose it and I hope to come back for advanced training. Thank you!

My son wanted to go for his CBT training and paid 189 pounds for the day. Half way through he was told as a complete novice he would have to go back because novices never or rarely pass the first time. So he had to book another 189 pound day. This time during the riding on the road section my son slowed down and knocked a curb after 1 and a half hours. He was told because part of the foot peg had moved he could no longer ride it, fair enough. However, there was no spare motorbike for him to continue the last half hours training. So now he nearly 400 pounds down and no certificate. I think he is going elsewhere now. I can't help but feel it has been money down the drain. He never thought it would take place over two days. He had to buy all the motorbike gear before he could go, the helmet, jacket etc. So he has spent a serious amount of money with nothing to show. I am gutted for him.

Fantastic group of people, did my CBT and accommodated me due to my small height etc. Matt also went above and beyond by helping me get from cattal station to the site rather than spending another 35 quid on a taxi. cant wait to do my full licence with these people. JJ and Hailey were great help with my first session getting me comfortable with the machine.

Just done my CBT today, Martin and Hailey was Super professional,knowledgeable and patient with the 2 of us in the group! Pushed us to be better and to pay attention those little details which we will need for our full motorbike license. Definitely recommend them!

Where do I start…Having completed my CBT various times over the last 15 years (with different companies) I decided to put myself through the whole hog! Booked all my training and exams through 3D and couldn’t be happier. From my initial CBT training right up to my MOD2 the team have been amazing. Hayley, Mark and Martin are all inviting, giving you the time needed and to make sure you are prepared for the examinations ahead. Having never ridden a manual bike and always doing my CBT on an automatic, I inevitably needed some extra TLC to make sure I could progress at the pace of the course. Martin gave me additional tuition to make sure I understood what was going to be asked of me at an exam level. The facilities are great, and the atmosphere is relaxed with plenty to talk about on and off the bikes. I’ve now passed all my modules and am starting my journey on the road, but the team here have helped me get to this point. Giving me the confidence to get on a bike and tackle the roads. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending 3D for any training type. Once you’ve passed, you don’t just pass…the door is always open and for social events / meet ups! Thanks for all your help guy, Fraser. 👍🏍✅
