What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Learner riders in Gateshead repeatedly highlight the calm, confidence-building instruction they receive when working towards a CBT, with Dave named most often as the trainer who puts nervous beginners at ease. According to several accounts, he explains technical points clearly, offers constructive feedback without pressure, and shares extensive knowledge of bike handling, road hazards and basic maintenance. The small-group format is described as relaxed yet safety-focused, and the provision of helmets and other gear is praised for making it easy to simply turn up and ride.

Reviewers also mention friendly reception staff and a welcoming atmosphere that helps those who have never previously sat on a motorcycle progress to riding a manual bike confidently. The machines used are described as well maintained and modern, and the mix of clear instruction with good humour comes up regularly. Praise centres on the patience shown to anxious newcomers, the depth of practical advice on equipment and roadcraft, and the sense that skills and confidence grow steadily across a full day of training. Many note how quickly nerves give way to competence, with the thorough explanations and steady encouragement from Dave standing out as the defining feature of the experience.

Dave, our trainer was fantastic, and provided a fantastic atmosphere to enjoy the CBT in a small group as well as feeling incredibly safe. The bikes used felt well loved, were basically brand new, feedback and training was excellent throughout. Overall I highly recommend TVMT for your CBT!!

Absolutely amazing day. Really good instructor who loves Yamaha a little too much 😅. Really supportive and friendly. Professionalism in the right way. You don’t feel unnecessarily pressured considering it’s scary enough for some people who haven’t been on a bike before. Would recommend to anyone. Just make sure you actually have your license and NI number with you as two of the guys on the course could not proceed as they couldn’t provide the correct documentation

A great day learning and completing my CBT. Dave, the instructor was great with giving constructive feedback but also made it interactive and made the day interesting with his humour. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking to do their CBT!

Dave is a top guy, has all the banter and jokes but most important keeps you safe on the road. Completed my CBT first time and Dave gave me the skills, confidence and all that I needed to start my biking journey.

Great day. Really empowering and felt really confident by the end of the full day session. Technical explanations were clear and easy and there was a very relaxed low stress vibe to the day. Quite a bit of time spent on anecdotal chat that might’ve given more time to practice but overall a great day that really delivered. Would absolutely recommend.

I recently completed my motorcycle training with Team Valley Motorcycle Training, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. A special thank you to Dave, who was incredibly patient, supportive, and encouraging throughout my training. He took the time to explain everything clearly, helped build my confidence, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. As someone who was nervous Dave's calm approach made a huge difference and helped me develop my riding skills safely and confidently. Thanks to his excellent instruction, I passed and received my certificate feeling prepared and confident for the road ahead. I would highly recommend Team Valley Motorcycle Training to anyone looking to learn in a friendly, professional, and supportive environment. Thank you, Dave, I'm absolutely delighted that I can now ride my Honda Express 😆 🤣
