What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

CBT, full A2 training and multi-day direct access courses form the core of what Assured Rider Training Southampton Ltd offers from its Crosshouse Road base. Reviewers repeatedly mention the patience shown by instructors towards nervous or complete beginners, with calm, reassuring guidance described as a constant throughout training.

Named instructors including Simon, Nigel, Jacob, Gareth and Dave are credited with helping pupils pass both module one and module two on the first attempt following the DAS course, and clear explanations of manoeuvres and road positioning come up often across the feedback. Several accounts describe returning to riding after a long break, with older learners in particular noting a supportive, good-humoured approach that eased any apprehension about relearning basic skills. CBT refresher sessions are also mentioned by riders who have used the school on more than one occasion over several years, suggesting an ongoing relationship rather than a single visit.

From the first enquiry through to test day, the training team is described as professional, encouraging and genuinely engaged with each rider's progress. The school operates every day of the week, from eight in the morning until five in the afternoon, giving riders flexibility to arrange CBT, A2 or direct access sessions around work and other weekday or weekend commitments.

Passed both tests with clean sheets! ART are hands down the best training school in the south. From the very first day I messaged Dave to book in, to the training with Jacob and Simon… Passionate trainers who love riding, love bikes, love what they do and genuinely made the whole experience a pleasure. Cannot recommend them enough!

For those of you who don't yet ride but want to learn, or those of you whose CBT is running out soon... I would highly recommend Nicky at ART - Assured Rider Training in Southampton. She put me at ease from the moment I arrived and was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. I had so much fun today, 10/10 experience. Another 2 years on the road. Thankyou.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I did my DAS with ART Assured Rider Training and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Gareth is a brilliant trainer — calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely relaxed, which makes a huge difference when you’re learning. I completed the 3-day course, and it was structured really well without ever feeling rushed or stressful. The whole vibe was supportive and confidence-building, not shouty or intense. Passed my DAS and celebrated by buying a Himalayan 450 (obviously in the best colour — black and gold 😉). If you’re looking for professional training delivered in a relaxed, enjoyable way, I’d 100% recommend ART Assured.

Can't thank everyone enough at A.R.T for their support, advice and tuition. They provided a great atmosphere and space to confidently learn skills and knowledge required. Very happy I approached them to obtain a motorcycle licence. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Absolutely professional and caring team. I have done multiple CBT refreshers here over the years and highly recommend them to beginners and experienced riders alike. Great for nervous beginners as the team have a great sense of humour and are patient and kind.

I had CBT by Liam and full A Licence with Dave, both Mod 1 and Mod 2 Passed first time. Every times i did something wrong, Dave would find all my mistakes, took his time to explain and showed me the proper way to do it, as English is not my native language. It’s impossible for me to fail the exam as i do exactly what he told me! I would rate them thousands of stars if i can!
