What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Beginner riders and those progressing to full licence training describe a consistently supportive experience at this Bolton motorcycle training provider, where the journey from CBT through to Direct Access is handled by a close-knit team. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the patience of instructors such as Johnny, Karen, Bailey and Mike, whose clear explanations and calm manner help nervous newcomers build confidence on the bike. A number of reviews mention that the module one pad sessions mirror what examiners expect, so candidates know the format before test day, and many report passing CBT, module one and module two on their first attempt.

Cathy is singled out for quickly organising application paperwork, exam dates and gear fitting, while the relaxed atmosphere means lessons never feel rushed. A number of customers describe the training as fun and well organised, with the mix of serious instruction and encouragement making long sessions enjoyable, and some have already booked further lessons or convinced family members to start riding. The recurring theme is thorough preparation combined with a friendly welcome, extending from a first taster session on a scooter right through to full licence success.

It has been a great experience choosing Williams Motorcycle Training for my motorcycle lessons. The whole team is great, providing brilliant instructors and a supportive, friendly environment that makes learning easier with each and every lesson. Cathy is wonderful at responding quickly and sorting out all application procedures, exam dates, and any other help needed. Karen and Bailey are also fantastic instructors—learning from them felt like learning from friends. I also had the opportunity to do a Mod 1 mock test with Michael, and I can't thank him enough for his invaluable support behind the scenes. I would definitely recommend Williams Motorcycle Training to anyone looking to get their motorcycle licence, whether through Direct Access or CBT. Thank you very much to the Williams family!

Absolutely brilliant training school. All the instructors are very friendly and do an incredible job. I can’t thank them enough. They are all very patient and professional to get new riders safely on the road and make the time there fun. If anyone is thinking of learning to ride a bike then I would 100% highly recommend Williams motorcycle training! I had a brilliant time there and met some lovely people. I did my DAS and passed mod 1 and 2 first time but before going on the course I was very new to riding and now I have confidence on the road to ride my bike Ive been waiting to ride. Thanks guys for everything ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chris E

This place is the best. I did my CBT and DAC here. I had never been on a bike before. It took me 2 days to do my CBT as I was a total beginner. The lovely Karen took me for this part and she was fantastic. I did my DAC about 6 moths later and was really nervous as I had done no practice in between. Anyway after kangarooing around the car park on day 1 I passed both parts of my test first time the following week. Can’t thank the whole team enough. Mick was my main instructor and so patient and calm throughout and very reassuring. Bailey introduced me to the bigger bike on one my first afternoon and was also fantastic. Cathy who takes calls and does the admin is so friendly and helpful. I had called a few schools in the area but after speaking to Cathy I booked straight away. This is a great family run business and they all have a great sense of humour. I would highly recommended this school. Thanks again so much and will hopefully pop down to see you all soon.xx😊🏍️🛵

Absolutely fabulous and so dedicated to teaching the right skills and ensuring riders are safe and confident. My son has just completed his CBT and Karen & Bailey were so professional yet cared that he gained the confidence he needed and can ride safe. No need to go anywhere else, you will always gain great training and a warm welcome at Williams. Thanks again!

I recently completed my CBT training from this driving school, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The instructor was extremely professional, patient, and genuinely kind. He explained everything in a very clear and easy-to-understand way, which really helped build my confidence on the road. The whole training was well-organized, and I never felt rushed or stressed at any point. I truly appreciate the way he guided me step by step and made sure I understood everything properly. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start their motorcycle journey. Thank you so much for such a great experience
