Had a fantastic experience with Andy and his exceptional team. In 6 days I managed to travel through 3 countries and ride with some of the best trained instructors that you can meet. Achieved my ERS, RoSPA and IAM qualifications and even won a special 'post course award'........an amazing experience that provided me access to riders who have decades of riding expertise and insight and can share and transfer that to the student in a matter of hours - I would encourage anyone who loves riding to do this course as it will only make you better and will enhance your riding for the rest of your riding days......looking forward to going back and doing it all over again.....

I have just completed "The 3 countries advanced training course". If you think you can ride think again! What Andy and his team teach you on this course is invaluable. It will make you a safer and a better rider. The teaching style is informative and hands on yet delivered in a non threatening manner, making you feel at ease from the beginning. It is a well organised trip with all levels of riders catered for. I cannot stress enough how important this kind of training is for every motorcyclist.

Highly recommend Andy and his team. I've just completed the 3 Countries advanced course in Scotland, and I'm heading home with passes for IAM and RoSPA under my belt. This course will teach you to be a better rider, with six weeks of police standard tuition rolled down into just a few days. You'll be amazed at how much you were doing wrong before! The course and routes are all flawlessly researched and delivered, with focus on what you're doing wrong, and more importantly, what you need to do it right. Your mistakes - and you'll make them! - are talked through with you, and the instructors will work you time and time again until you've got it right. This is not a course on how to ride fast: it's a course on how to ride safely, smoothly and systematically, and speed just happens when you know what you're doing!

The name suits them Andy is a great instructor got me in for both mods very quickly helped me on anything he thought could be improved and i came away with two passes on the first tires, And Andy has a special skill of he can tell you where any mcdonalds is anywhere!!! I couldn't recommend him more, Great instructor, great bikes, genuinely cares about getting you to pass

Fantastic day of CBT with Andy Smith. Learnt so much from the clear and well thought out course. Ann and I were nervous about the road driving but Andy got us through it with his calm instructions. Would recommend 1st class rider training very highly.

Andy is a great down to earth instructor. He doesn't just teach you to pass a test he teaches you how to ride, some of the things he taught me I will never forget. He will happily tell you if your doing somthing wrong and tell you what to do to correct it. More importantly he will teach you how become a better rider and not make the same mistakes in the future. I highly recomend any new or old rider to give his course a go the expiriance he has and the fountain of knowledge is incredibly valuable.

Excellent, no nonsense training from a fantastic instructor, Andy Smith. They have a lowered bike which was perfect for me being 5'2" and being nervous of the bigger bikes, Andy's practical approach to training was exactly what I needed. Would highly recommend this training school to all 😃
