I did my CBT here with an amazing instructor called Sam, he was so calm, patient, clear, kind and helpful. I didn't think I'd succeed and he encouraged me every step of the way. The company were really supportive and helpful with bookings, their peace of mind guarantee really helped me feel less rushed and the training was well paced.
Worse place ever, Dave was just shouting one of the mate student called "masood" who came from Nottingham, swore at him and keep shouting at him and took his confidence away, He (Dave) mentioned he's too hot and can't stay in the weather, 1pm till 15:13pm including his 15 mints break we' were back because he was hot, and asked me to book again for another £200 for another 2 hours training to complete manoeuvre and independent driving. Were' as I told him I drove ZZR 1100CC. And I'm hgv instructor but he said lack of observation i asked what exactly and (DAVE ) and his colleagues from office said just lack of observation 🤔. I said Dave was driving 45 in 40 speed limit near Charnwood bakery Leicester. He said prove us 😆.
I had my Module 2 test today and I PASSED! I would like to thank Shires for the top-class training they provided, which helped me pass. Shoutout to Gary, Andy, and Ben, who were my instructors throughout my CBT, CBT+, Mod 1, and Mod 2 training. I look forward to riding a bike with confidence and being safe on the road.
I recently passed my A2 motorbike licence with Shire’s Motorcycle Training in Leicester and honestly couldn’t recommend them enough. Huge thanks to Lee and Ben — both were absolutely brilliant instructors from start to finish. They were calm, friendly, patient, and explained everything in a way that made learning feel easy and stress-free. Even when I was nervous, they stayed supportive and helped build my confidence on the bike every step of the way. Their teaching style is professional but relaxed, which made a massive difference for me. You can really tell they care about helping people become safe and confident riders, not just passing the test. Thanks again Lee and Ben for all the support and guidance — passing my A2 licence feels even better knowing I learned from such great instructors. Highly recommend Shire’s Motorcycle Training to anyone thinking about getting into riding!
I have just passed my test with shires and highly recommend them to anyone looking to do any sort of motorcycle training . From the friendly and helpful teresa to Andy and Ben who helped me with my training. Their knowledge of bikes and the roads is second to none, they put you at ease and teach you everything you need to know. I fully enjoyed my training and whole experience. thanks for all of your help.
I did my CBT at Groby council car park with them in 2002 passed and decided to get my full cat A license training with them they was brilliant and yes made a mistake on first test but passed second time .Bought a new 600cc Yamaha Fazer from Arnolds ..then a 1100cc Moto Guzzi my last bike was a Moto Marini X Cape ..Live to ride ..ride to live . Don't leave it book with them you will not regret one minute ..
Just passed my full motorbike test with Shires. I was really impressed with how supportive they all were. They have classroom sessions to teach you how to position the bike and what to do in different situations. Lots of time spent on the road with instructors where they gave solid guidance. I couldn’t recommend them more. I get really nervous doing practical tests but they did really well getting me through.
