What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Learning to ride is taken in stages at this Suffolk training centre, from the initial CBT through the two practical modules to a full Category A licence, and those stages are the backbone of the feedback. Instructors named by customers include Graham, Max, Rob Baker, Shirley, Stephen and Simon, who are credited with settling nerves and explaining techniques so that riders understand safe riding rather than simply meeting test requirements. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the welcoming of questions, whatever a rider's previous experience, with staff willing to share their own time on two wheels so that sessions stay varied and absorbing.

Karen is thanked for handling the arrangements around training, and the machines and riding kit available are spoken of warmly. Learners describe confidence growing steadily from a first CBT to the big bike upgrade, and the preparation for both practical tests is linked to first-time passes. Humour sits alongside serious instruction, with guidance given in a manner that never comes across as fault-finding, which keeps demanding days enjoyable. The recurring thread is a supportive, professional setting that puts newcomers at ease while still pushing them towards a full licence.

Phenomenal place to get any motorbike certification done. All the staff are friendly and attentive, with a lot of experience too. If you’re local and looking to get started; from CBT to full license - I’d recommend the guys here over anyone. Thank you to everyone involved!

Had the absolute best CBT day. The training was comprehensive and delivered brilliantly by all the instructors. Helpful hints along the way that never felt like criticism. If you’re considering training these are safe hands to be in. Much, much better than other local schools.

I passed my CBT yesterday with Suffolk Rider Training, and I had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The team was friendly, professional, and well organised. Stephen was an amazing instructor—patient, encouraging, and very easy to learn from. He explained everything clearly and helped build my confidence throughout the day. I would highly recommend Suffolk Rider Training to anyone looking to complete their CBT. Thank you again, Stephen, for all your support!

Suffolk Rider amazing training school. The instructors are very experienced calm and patient. No question is a silly question. Massive shout out to Graham, Max and the 3 Robs who helped me along the way gaining my full bike licence. I was so nervous every time but they soon took that away and made me feel more relaxed. Karen in the office is very helpful. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10 training school. Thankyou. Jade

Just did my CBT with Stephen, wow! It was a fantastic day, considering the 35* heat we had too 😁 Stephen was so patient and really made the day a joy. We had such a laugh all while learning the all important craft of riding a motorcycle. I'm returning in August to do my big bike upgrade and my full DAS course in September which I very much look forward to! Great facilities, friendly staff and great bikes. A whole host of riding kit available on the day if you don't come with your own and no question is a silly one. Highly recommend if you're in the Suffolk area ⭐️
