What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

CBT sessions, gear conversion courses and the full Mod1 and Mod2 route toward a licence form the core of what this London centre delivers, and that spread of instruction shapes the feedback. Simon is the instructor named most often, described as patient, calm and knowledgeable, explaining techniques clearly without cutting corners on practice. Dave is also singled out for helping riders grasp bike handling and the rules of the road. Several customers describe how nervous beginners, including those new to a manual bike, are brought to genuine confidence on the road, with safety emphasised at every stage.

The machines are noted as well maintained and in good condition, and sessions proceed in poor weather as planned. Training on real roads features in the accounts, which customers say converts theory into practical ability. Direct access candidates who worked with several instructors report consistently helpful tuition across their sessions, while first-time riders, including those whose English is limited, find the teaching easy to follow. Hazard awareness and correct technique recur throughout, and riders go on to book further courses after their day on the bikes.

⭐⭐☆☆☆ I had a very disappointing experience with this training centre. I attended my CBT with all the required documents, including my driving licence, but I was not allowed to complete the training. I had travelled to the centre, spent my time and money, yet I received no training and no refund. I tried to explain my situation and contacted the company afterwards, but I did not feel that my concerns were taken seriously. As a customer, I expected clearer information before my booking and a fair solution when I was unable to take the course. The instructor was polite, but my overall experience with the booking and customer service was very disappointing. I would recommend that anyone booking here carefully checks all the requirements in advance and gets written confirmation if they are unsure about anything.

Did my CBT and Simon was my instructor for the day. Highly recommended as Simon was excellent. Made the whole process easy and stress-free especially for someone who has never ridden a motorcycle before. He was thorough with all his explanations and made sure everyone was safe. 👍🏻

I had motorcycle training. Yes, I didn’t pass on the first attempt, but the instructor turned out to be a very good mentor. He explained everything clearly, showed me what to do, pointed out my mistakes, and helped me understand the road rules and traffic signs. I didn’t pass because I am a beginner. This training is not easy — for beginners it is more challenging and requires more attention. You need to focus on gear changes, use your hands more, and coordinate your movements. Riding a motorcycle with a manual gearbox is not that difficult if you remember a few basic principles: pull in the clutch, smoothly apply the throttle, change gears at the right speed, and practice regularly. I would like to thank instructor Simon for his guidance. I hope we will meet again. If you are a beginner and didn’t pass, it’s not the end. You can always take the training again — that’s completely normal. Experience comes with time and practice.🙏🏾🙌🏾

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had my CBT training today with Simon, and he was absolutely amazing. He has a huge amount of knowledge and experience, and his way of teaching is excellent. He was friendly and approachable but didn’t compromise on the lesson at all — he went into real detail to make sure we fully understood the do’s and don’ts, which really helped build confidence. Big thank you to London Motoring and especially to Simon for such a great day and for being so patient with everyone. Truly appreciate everything you’ve done to help keep us safe on the road. Kamrul
