Just completed my cbt for a second time after not riding for 18 months. Fantastic team of instructors. Wouldn't use anywhere else. Brilliant with nervous riders, really supportive and reassuring, able to feedback & correct your faults with humour and positivity! 🤣 Thankyou Kevin & Darren for an awesome day 👍

Updated 10/09: Have now completed a 5 day DAS course here, culminating in both Mod 1 & 2 completed successfully.
Once again can't recommend the guys enough. Agree with other reviews that intensive bike time throughout the week, with a constant flow of expert observations and advice really do help to iron out key areas of road riding safety to a standard over and above the test requirement.

Completed my CBT with the guys at 1st Class last week (June '21), superb throughout.
Instructor Ryan was excellent - when new skills aren't yet 'autopilot' you need them laid out in a way so

4 day intensive DAS course. They train you to a higher standard than the test requires, constantly correcting you and advising what you should be doing even when you feel your riding well. What this means is the easiest part of the course is the test at the end which probably explains their very high pass rates. Everyone that week passed first time too, very impressive. Large off road practice area, fantastic bikes to practice on kept to a very high standard and the instructors are very good at keeping you calm and confident if your a new or nervous rider. Top marks!

Don't use anybody else. Make sure you use first class motorcycle training. The instructors have a good sense of humour and they're easy to get along with. They also give pro advice, the sort of advice you would expect to find only, from a pro motorcycle rider with 25+ years experience

Really enjoyed my time here- did a 5 day DAS course, only having completed my CBT a few weeks prior with no previous experience riding motorcycles. Passed both Mod 1 and 2 on the last day. These guys got me to a point very quickly where I probably could have passed on day 3 or 4. Darren and Kev have great teaching styles, with a perfect mix of banter and concentrated skill development, tips to pass the tests, real-life riding tips, praise on what went well, and solid advice on what could be better.
Thanks guys! Love from, his Welshness.

Had the best day doing my CBT, all instructors were great, very knowledgeable and made it a very fun day! They all worked very long hours in the burning heat but they were on top form the whole day! My confidence on a bike improved, I thoroughly enjoyed both the Carpark and road experiences. Can’t rate these guys enough!!

So I did my cbt today, first time I'd been on a bike, first time I have ever driven on the road I was nervous to say the least and I passed. Had a couple wobbles to start but the guys at 1st class are just that 1st class. They give encouraging feedback and you go until you do it write and SAFE. I will recommend and use 1st class again no doute. Thanks for a fun day guys

I can’t thank these guys enough at first class, I had a horrible experience with a certain company up the road from first class, (SUREPASS) They had no interest in training me and they basically told me to go away and learn to ride a bike, I thought that’s what they were meant to train me to do, let alone the sexist attitude I got from them.
So,… to say the least I was very nervous about their attitude but the guys were absolutely amazing and put me straight at ease. So I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Dan, Darren but especially to Andy who trained me all week. You were
