Taunton School of Motorcycling commenced training in 1996 and thanks to its reputation has continued to thrive in its core business: quality training in riding a motorcycle. This site contains everything you need to know if you're looking to undertake any form of motorcycle riding training. If you're simply looking for our price list, hover your cursor above 'Our Courses' and click 'Prices 2017'.
I can only think of one word to sum up my experience with TSM - Faultless. Not a word I'd use to describe my riding before Tracey got hold of me. The relaxed, calm, and welcoming atmosphere they work so hard to provide cut straight through the day-one nerves and before I knew it I was out and riding better than I'd ever managed before.

Services
You will hear us mention 'Quality training' often, as T.S.M. has never needed to offer anything other than this, because we believe that what people want from a motorcycle training school is to pass their motorcycle test. For example, if you want track days then there are companies with staff specifically trained & equipped at the tracks to offer you this.
In this and following pages we'll talk about the different types of bike, what age you have to be to ride them & the different routes available to gaining your full licence. It is a series of elements, designed & monitored by the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency, each of which must be completed, in order, before a C.B.T. certificate will be issued.
A non-refundable deposit is due to complete any booking. This deposit is included in the full price, once paid the outstanding balance will be due before, or on the day of your course. Remember, these fees are fully inclusive: the days you purchase are FULL training days with your tests on subsequent days!
Unfortunately all-too frequently, we hear from customers that other training establishments have tried to force them into taking a particular type of course. When you first make contact with Taunton School of Motorcycling, we will discuss with you what you want to achieve, including what type of bike you're looking to ride, for what purpose, and any issues regarding clothing & equipment.
During which you learn what C.B.T. includes & why, undergo a basic eyesight check & discuss clothing, helmets etc. Linked to your instructor by radio, you receive direct instruction on what you should be doing & then get the chance to prove you can do it for yourself! After all, when you ride away at the end of the day, you won't have the instructor looking out for you!.

The difference from this school and others is huge . I'm sorry that I choose this school because it was cheaper and with quick availability but that's a giveaway of what's to come , poor training , old bikes , after doing mod 1 training with Tracy , when I did my first swerve , I hit a cone the first time I did it , she stopped the training immediately and said the training is finished and she still wants me to take the exam just to see how it is , so I was set up to fail , later in the week she did message me to do extra training but I couldn't as I was working. It took me more than 6 months to

Very odd place. No sense of customer service. Bike wing mirror fell off day before my test and the owner said she would replace it before the test and didn't. She spent the whole week behaving as if she were doing me a favour and was rude. Good thing was I passed first time and didn't have to speak to her again. My daughter is due to take CBT training. Would not give this company my money again. I even came out of the it with an A2 licence which I made clear I didn't want but she gave the bigger bike I could have used to a squaddie on leave. Not good value for money, awkward, unenjoyable.

I did some training with Tracy (Tracey?) and honestly her method of training is "oh my god you are so bad why are you bothering" then when you do your test and pass its "oh I taught you well"..
If you want to be constantly berated/sworn at then go for it, I did actually pass my test so gave a bonus star otherwise it would of been 1/5

I did the 5 day direct access with Tracey and I passed my test courtesy of her excellent training just over a week ago. Her honest, direct and sometimes brutal assessment of you on your first day with her makes you realise what you truly need to learn to pass your test! And if you listen to her, you will. Simple as that. Not only does she provide you with the tools to pass. Its only after the test, you realise she's made you an entirely different (better!) rider. My faults were at roundabouts (solved by a lot of p*** taking in my right ear!) And corner positioning (solved by showing me how big
