What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Booking and scheduling with this Gateshead motorcycle training provider, located just off Kingsway, comes up often as a strength, with organisation behind the scenes and prompt replies to messages noted alongside flexible arrangements for those fitting sessions around work commitments. Instructors named across reviews include Michael, Paul, Lisa, Keith, John, Graeme and Gary, and a point made in several accounts is their patience with nervous or first-time riders, paired with clear feedback aimed at building real riding ability rather than simply preparing for the test.

Several accounts describe a friendly, almost family-run atmosphere rather than a purely commercial one. Riders with no prior experience on two wheels describe moving from CBT through direct access training to a full licence within a few weeks, often clearing both practical modules on the first attempt, and discounts for block bookings are mentioned as available.

The bikes provided for lessons are described as kept in good working order. An afternoon ride out after CBT renewal is also mentioned as a memorable part of training. Open daily from 8am until 6pm, including weekends, the Gateshead premises allow CBT, renewals and full licence courses to be arranged across a wide span of the week rather than being confined to weekday slots alone.

Done my full test with angel , starting with my cbt. As soon as I done this I knew it was the place I wanted to train to do my full licence. The 2 lads doing the cbt training Michael and Paul were great and a good laugh made the day a lot easier. Then onto my mod 1 and 2 training all the other instructors were spot on and very knowledgable and got me through both tests first time. Would definitely recommend. Thanks again

I recently completed both my Mod 1 and Mod 2 motorcycle tests with Angel Motorcycle Training, and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. The whole team were brilliant from start to finish. Their tuition was excellent, clear, professional, and tailored to help build confidence and develop the skills needed to pass. They were always friendly, approachable, and down to earth, creating a relaxed learning environment that made training enjoyable rather than stressful. Thanks to their support, guidance, and patience, I successfully passed both Mod 1 and Mod 2. If you’re looking for motorcycle training with instructors who genuinely care about helping you succeed, Angel Motorcycle Training is an excellent choice. Thank you to the whole team!

Completed my CBT and DAS with Angel. John is an exceptional instructor. Regardless of whatever nerves you go in with, you will be well looked after and pass feeling confident and capable. They've got a great community, so you'll probably make some chums too. Five stars. No hesitation. 🙏🏻

Did my Mod 1 and 2 with Angel after doing my CBT with another school. They teach you to ride the bike, not to pass the test. The feedback for improvement is clear and easy to understand. It’s easy to book up and they do discounts for block bookings. Lisa, Keith and John are all excellent and very patient, even when you kill a few cones! Bev is always working behind the scenes to keep everything organised, picking up texts and responding at all hours, 7 days a week! They also rent out 125’s if you want additional practice and don’t have a bike. Passed both tests without even a minor fault after only 9 lessons for both.

I’ve just completed a CBT course today. It was easy to follow and gave me some really useful tools that I will be able to use day to day. My instructor Paul was amazing. He was very supportive, understanding, and great at teaching altogether. I’d definitely recommend this course to anyone considering CBT.

Fantastic team at Angel, they are all really good instructors, Lisa was great getting me ready for the mod 1, Keith and John did a brilliant job at getting me ready for the mod 2. Also just a really nice community of riders, plenty of people to get to know and go for a ride with once you’ve passed. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Excellent choice for me. They were brilliant from the off. Having not had any experience riding to passing both tests at the first time of asking in a short period of training, is testament to the skills and tutelage of everyone at Angel motorcycle training. Can’t thank the guys enough, you’re the best
