Services
With 20 years of experience within the industry, 1st Motorcycle Training pride ourselves on being a very well established company. DSA approved instructors are always on hand to teach eager pupils the roles and techniques within motorcycle riding. We have an excellent 1st time pass rate which we are confident will remain at an optimum level for years to come.
This is the first course you will need to be legal on the road on a 50cc if you are 16yrs, or a 125cc if you are 17yrs or over. It is also required if you wish to achieve a full motor cycle licence (DAS). The CBT is usually a one day course, although if you are new to two wheels you may need to tidy up on a second day to make sure you reach the required standard.
The higher speed exercises and other exercises MODULE 1 will be tested on safe off road sites and take about ten minutes to complete. At least two exercises carried out at higher speed, of which one exercise should be in second or third gear, at a speed of at least 30kph (approx 19mph) and one exercise avoiding an obstacle at a minimum speed of 50kph (approx 32mph).

I had my CBT training here two days ago and I'm still happy about it today!
Even before I booked my Training with them I got friendly and kind response over WhatsApp on what I need to have and apply for.
The training itself was very informative and beneficial without being boring or too much. Our instructor Ian was very kind, empathetic and professional. I felt safe during all the training and looked after very well.
So happy to have my certificate now 😊
I would definitely recommend anyone else that place.
Already told my friend who is looking into doing a motorcycle license about it and

My first day training was great and I am happy to say that I passed. I am very pleased to say that the training ran really smoothly and everything was explained clearly step by step. My instructor Ian was very supportive and provided me with clear and useful information during the training. Thank you for the time and effort that was put in to this training to make it effective. Your all doing a great job.

Did my CBT here in November 2021. Ian was a great instructor, thorough with everything we needed to know, made sure we knew what we were doing and a lovely chap. Only downside came with trying to contact the centre to retake - it took several phone call attempts over at least a week before somebody got back to us.

I Did my compulsory basic training for the first here.
Ian is an excellent instructor, I struggled a little in the beginning but he talked me through it until I got the confidence to go on the road.
He’s professional, easy going, humorous and very patient. Communication was clear and precise with excellent feedback.
It was raining throughout the day however I felt confident in my abilities and safe to ride after the training. Excellent teacher, would recommend 100% and I’m definitely coming back 👍

Had a really good experience with Simon on my three day DAS - Covered everything in great detail and made sure I was well equipped with vital knowledge/techniques that helped me pass my MOD 1 & MOD2.
Really nice guy who has a wealth of experience and makes the whole process really enjoyable. The bike I was on was the Honda CB650F which was perfect for learner riders who are progressing with their DAS, but Simon did mention he was getting some new Suzuki SV650s in so even better for anyone looking to do their DAS with 1st!
Thanks once again Simon and hopefully see you in the new year on my bike

Cannot recommend these guys enough. Did my CBT with Ian in July (Ian was excellent, very experienced and a very nice guy) then a four day direct access course with Simon this month, finishing with passes for mod 1 and mod 2 tests and an A category license - for both me and the other chap that attended that week. Simon’s experience and knowledge are vast and the course was expertly managed from start to finish. The other learner and I had different strengths and weaknesses and Simon tailored his training to suit us individually, for both of us to reach our goal. The course was challenging and

Definitively 1st CLASS training. I would recommend them to everyone 100%. Simon is just an amazing instructor, super friendly and most important with a massive knowledge and experience. The way he trained me it made MOD 1 and MOD 2 look like a joke. Seriously. Thanks again Simon. Highly recommended.
