What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Learners starting from scratch and riders upgrading their licences describe Elite Rider Training as a place where progress happens quickly and confidently. Several customers mention completing CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2, and full category A or A2 upgrades, often passing on the first attempt after arriving with little or no riding experience. Andy is named repeatedly as the instructor behind much of this praise, credited with clear explanations, patience, and a calm, rigorous teaching style that builds confidence across both modules.

Reviewers also highlight the supportive and friendly approach of the wider team, including Chris, and note that advice and coaching are given generously throughout the day. One thing mentioned again and again is the quality of the bikes used for training, described as well maintained and suitable for the manoeuvres required.

Communication and scheduling are likewise mentioned positively, with bookings handled efficiently and sessions structured around the rider's needs. The atmosphere is frequently called relaxed yet professional, helping nervous beginners feel at ease. Feedback from those returning for further training suggests the same standard applies whether someone is taking a first CBT or working towards a full licence. Riders credit Andy with instilling the awareness and control needed to pass both modules first time.

Andy was a great instructor for my A2. I've been to two places for my A2 licence and one was at Focus Rider Training and the other one was here at Elite Rider Training with Andy and he is by far the best instructor, highly knowledgable and actually seems like he wants you to pass. He is also very kind with his first come first serve, very respectable of him. He's patient and also has good working bikes, which i've found at another place I went to, lacked in. I couldn't have done it without Andy. Thanks again.

Seen both Andy and Tony on the day, haven't ridden since I was a teenager riding dirt bikes. Andy was very in-depth and explained everything needed. Tony put you at ease and never once judged you and was always supportive and understanding. Will be going back for my DAS for sure. Can't thank Tony enough.

Thank you, Andy, for the depth of knowledge and experience you’ve provided to my son. Your patience and supportive approach gave him the confidence to succeed, resulting in him passing his MOD 2 test at the first attempt. EXCELLENT INSTRUCTOR

Learning with Elite has been a top experience. I've had minimal riding experience previously so there would be a steep learning curve to be successful. Passed CBT 9 months ago, on geared bike. In the last month I've had a day getting to grips with the 650z, followed by a day for MOD1 and a final day for MOD2. All passed first time. Massive thanks to Andy for the brilliant instruction throughout. Overall an excellent experience worth every precious penny.
