What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Riders starting out with no experience on two wheels make up much of the feedback for this Glasgow motorcycle training provider, and the same praise comes through again and again. Stewart and Lewis are named for their patience, clear instruction and humour, putting nervous beginners at ease while still building confidence quickly. Constructive feedback during lessons is credited with first-attempt passes of the module one and module two tests, and the DAS course is described as well organised, with lessons and test slots arranged around the dates riders supply.

Machines and riding kit are reported as well maintained, including a jacket lent out on a cold day, and the fees are considered reasonable for the standard of teaching. Cathy on reception is singled out for rescheduling sessions around shifting work patterns. Small classroom groups are valued for the room they leave for questions, and the training itself is called informative and genuinely enjoyable, whether riders are completing a CBT or progressing towards a full licence.

I completed both my CBT and DAS with Biker School and would highly recommend them. For the DAS course all your lessons and tests are booked based on the dates you give them as they arrange it all for you. The instructors are excellent and highly experienced and the lessons and training was really enjoyable and informative. The bikes and facilities are also excellent. I had a great experience at Biker School and I would highly recommend them.

A massive thanks to everyone at Biker School Glasgow. Professional, supportive and first class service at every point of the training during my direct access course. From the initial enquiry to booking of the training, exam dates and providing information, the service has been second to none. Thanks to the guys at Biker School Glasgow I was able to successfully gain my bike license at the first attempt. None of this would have been possible without their help and support. Thanks again.

I completed my CBT & DAS course with Glasgow Biker School. I don't usually leave reviews but wanted to give one on this occasion because I had a brilliant experience from start to finish. I would like to give a big shout out to the team for all the help and coaching that enabled me to pass my Mod1 & Mod2 on the first attempts. You are a great bunch. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about doing their CBT or DAS course!

Just completed my CBT and Direct Access course with Biker School and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. The instructors were excellent, all very friendly, approachable, and clearly very knowledgeable. They gave detailed, constructive feedback throughout and were genuinely supportive, which made a big difference to confidence and progression. The kit provided was in great condition and well maintained, and the pricing felt very reasonable for the quality of training. A big bonus was getting to practice on the same pad used for the Mod 1 test, which really helped with familiarity on the day. Overall, a brilliant experience from start to finish with encouraging instructors, great facilities, and a professional setup. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn or progress their riding. Also thank you to Catherine who helped arrange my training, she was able to squeeze in training and tests withing a very short period at late notice. Something other schools didnt seem to be able to do for me for Months. So thank you again to all the staff, was excellent learning with you all.

I first completed my CBT with Glasgow Biker School in October 2025, and my instructor Stewart was really friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the whole process. He made the day enjoyable and helped build my confidence on the bike from the very beginning. I then started my DAS training in January 2026. Because of my work and changing shift patterns, it was sometimes difficult to know when I’d be off, but Cathy at reception was incredibly helpful and always did her best to arrange training days around my availability, which I really appreciated. During my DAS training, instructors Louis and Chuck were both excellent. I made mistakes along the way, but they were always patient, supportive, and clear in their guidance, which really helped me improve my riding and confidence. Chief instructor Alan was a bit more serious, but in the best way — very knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely focused on helping me pass. His guidance for both exams was really valuable. I passed my Mod 2 on 31st March 2026, and I’m honestly so grateful to the whole team for helping me achieve my dream of getting my bike licence. Highly recommend Glasgow Biker School to anyone starting out or going for their DAS!🏍️✌🏻
