What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Hull riders taking their first steps into motorcycling report a consistently encouraging experience with this training provider, and the Compulsory Basic Training course comes up most often in their accounts. Instructor Craig is named repeatedly for his patient, jargon-free explanations and for making sure each rider understands a technique before moving on, with a relaxed and good-humoured manner that helps settle nerves. Neil is also mentioned in connection with the Direct Access Scheme, and customers credit his tuition with getting them through their tests.

A recurring theme is the thoroughness of the practical sessions, which are allowed to run for as long as needed until both instructor and rider are happy with the standard achieved. Reviewers describe teaching that is firm and detailed enough to correct habits carried over from cycling, delivered alongside clear communication and a good balance of humour and professionalism. Confidence grows to the point where riders book further modules such as the A1 and A2 categories, and progression from CBT towards a full licence is a thread running through the feedback, with the approachable manner of the instructors the detail riders tend to highlight.

Instructor Craig, he passed me today, made it enjoyable, and easy to understand on the CBT lesson/ test, amazing work from him, Craig made everyone feel welcome, and if you didn’t understand something he would help you in till you understood it, fancy learning from him would recommend for anyone who would like their CBT lesson/test to be done.

Craig Smith was an absolutely brilliant instructor, I have never touched a motorbike before a was pretty nervous. By the end of the season I had no nerves, was completely comfortable driving on the road on a full geared bike. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do there CBT in Hull! - Ps, he flies planes as well - what more could you ask for…
