What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Derby Motorbike Training, based on Alfreton Road and led by instructor Jim, is described by pupils as patient, calm and genuinely invested in developing riders rather than rushing them through. One thing mentioned again and again is passing both motorcycle test modules on the first try without any faults being recorded, with several attributing this to a pace that built confidence gradually instead of forcing progress.

Complete beginners taking CBT found the day reassuring and enjoyable, supported by bikes and equipment kept in good condition within a roomy training venue. Someone working towards a full Direct Access licence valued the one-to-one format and being guided towards the test only once truly prepared, while another rider noted how sessions were arranged flexibly to fit around demanding work commitments.

A teenage pupil, referred through a foster placement, is said to have become a sensible and capable rider thanks to the input of Jim and a colleague. Nervous or entirely inexperienced riders, including someone gifted lessons as a present, mention feeling supported through moments of doubt until confidence took hold. Across the feedback, the school is portrayed as caring and encouraging, with an approach centred on the Alfreton Road base that leaves riders feeling properly equipped rather than merely put through a test.

Jim the instructor is a very nice person who isn't just about to take your money but is there to teach you he told me very Early in my training that I wouldn't need alot of training and that's how it went and I passed first time on my mod 1 and mod 2 with no minor faults. Highest recommendations from me. Thank you for making me a safer rider all-round

Passed Mod 1 and Mod 2 with DMT in February, both on first attempt. Jim is a great teacher with a patient and relaxed approach. The pace of lessons always felt right and helped build confidence prior to taking my tests. Great fun and highly recommended.

Jim is a brilliant instructor, patient but supportive in developing you as a rider. Pushed me to achieve what he knew I was capable of and I subsequently progressed quickly. Was very flexible and worked around my busy work schedule to accommodate lessons/tests to suit me. I passed first time on both Mod 1 and Mod 2 with no faults which is credit to his teaching and coaching.

I did my CBT here (Oct 2018). The instructor and owner (Jim) made the course very enjoyable, he was patient, calm and very reassuring throughout the whole day. I would highly recommend this course for anybody even with no previous experience of riding, like me. The gear and bikes were in great condition and the venue was spacious. I will certainly be coming back here to do my full test soon.

Did my CBT and got my full motorbike license with Jim's excellent teaching. I wasn't the fastest learner, but I'm very grateful to Jim for being super patient with me. He makes sure to correct you on every mistake that you make, repeatedly until you get it right. I can highly recommend Jim if you are looking for motorbike lessons in Derby.
