What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Those travelling to Brighton for a CBT session find a day that is both welcoming and carefully structured. Martin and Max are named repeatedly in accounts of the training, with riders describing them as patient, knowledgeable and skilled at putting nervous newcomers at ease, including people who make the journey from further away. Customers writing about their orders describe how the course balances clear explanation with a relaxed, humorous tone, where light-hearted moments help settle first-timers while the essentials are still covered properly. Something that features in review after review is the accessible way concepts are broken down, leaving practical techniques that can be carried onto real road riding.

The shift from off-road exercises to riding on the road is singled out as a strength, building confidence across a single day. Reviewers repeatedly mention that riders of different backgrounds and abilities are accommodated, with teaching adapted to individual needs and a supportive atmosphere kept up throughout. The running of the day itself draws praise, described as smooth and well organised from arrival onwards. Encouragement when confidence dips is a recurring theme, and many finish with their CBT completed alongside a genuinely enjoyable experience.

James was super knowledgeable, exactly what you would expect with an instructor. Felt super safe and learnt so much in one day. Would definitely return without shopping around at other providers.

Martin and Max were amazing first off. Me and my mate were doing it together and despite being nervous at first, the calm professionalism displayed really helped us get through it. Not only did we get our CBT but we both had a really good time! The silly dad jokes helped too lol. Would recommend to anyone. :)

I had an excellent experience with Alternative Motorcycle Training Ltd. Martin and Max were both absolutely amazing throughout my CBT session. They were patient, professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable and confident from start to finish. Their clear instructions, encouragement, and willingness to help made the whole learning process much easier and enjoyable. They took the time to explain everything properly and ensured everyone understood each part of the training before moving on.

Top-tier instruction. Professional, patient, and very effective. It was great to train on bikes that were clearly well maintained, including my bike which only had about 3,000 miles on it. Really happy with the experience and the result. 5 stars!

Absolutely amazing training school , super patient , kind and accommodating. All staff were wonderful but a massive shoutout to Max who made my training as a whole and road ride experience smooth and highly beneficial. The instructors provided a calm , structured learning environment that tailored to my own needs as well as the rest of the people on the course whilst also being fun , light hearted and humorous! A lovely atmosphere and incredible training with constant tips and pointers to help you improve. All of which helped myself and everyone else on the day achieve the CBT certificate. Cannot recommend AMT enough , will be returning again in the future! - Harry
