Services
The business was born out of an obsession for motorcycling, we are passionate that learning to ride a motorcycle should be an enjoyable experience. With all of our courses, training is tailored to your needs and everything is done at your own pace. You'll never feel pressured to do anything you don't feel ready for.
Compulsory Basic Training is a course that must be completed by all learner riders before riding unaccompanied on the road. You must be 16 years of age or over to take CBT. Your CBT will be given by an instructor that has been approved by the Driving Standards Agency, on an off-road site, so there is no pressure to take to the roads before you feel ready.
If you choose to continue with your training and take your bike test, you will first need to take your theory test. This is a two part test. You need to pass both parts in order to gain an overall pass and apply for your practical test.

Part 1 comprises multiple choice theory questions that test your knowledge of UK road law, as well as presenting you with scenarios based on real-life situations for you to interpret (you will need to read the Highway Code to prepare for this).Part 2 is Hazard Perception. We have software to enable you to practice at the school.
Please note, all comments are direct quotes from customers and do not necessarily reflect the views of Nottingham Motorcycle Training. Had a fabulous few weeks training with you, brilliant instructor, have learnt so much, would highly recommend you to anybody. At the start I was very nervous but towards the end I was much more relaxed and that was because of Pete's calmness and willingness to help me when I was stressed!

Michelle is great with newbies and those who think they can ride lol. She can iron out your bad habits and get you on track for what ever test you want to complete. Easy to talk to and very hard working, and great at guiding you through your journey.*****

Was awesome. Would recommend.
Was a bit unsure as it had been nearly 10 years since taking a cbt and not really been on a bike since. Had a safety and bike check briefing and then it was hands on from there. Great teacher straight to the point and explained why you had to do the things she was telling you. For your own safety.
Stay safe every one and good luck.
Thank you to the training lady.
As I said I might be wanting to do the manual training as well but I've got your number.

Just want to say a massive thanks to Pete for a great experience whilst trying to learn something new. I completed my CBT in October, but didn't ride a bike again until I came back to do my 'big bike' training and tests. Pete was confident in my abilities (even if I wasn't myself!) and gave great feedback throughout all of my practical sessions. Pete asked for feedback throughout to see if there was anything that he could adapt so that we were getting the most useful advice and practice, and this was really helpful as well. I managed to pass all of my tests, including theory, first time, and I

I cannot recommend these guys enough, I’m so glad i chose Nottingham Motorcycle training for my Direct Access. From my CBT (thanks Jordan) right through to Mod 2
they have been amazing, so helpful and understanding and there instruction is top class. Pete made me relax and kept me calm and his constant encouragement made the whole course an amazing experience, you can’t help but feed of his passion and enthusiasm for motorcycling its infectious. I will miss my Saturdays whizzing about on the Orange beast…
Thanks again guys and i look forward to having a ride out with you when i get my rideâ€

I have just completed my Direct Access course with Pete at Nottingham Motorcycle Training. I started in May with CBT. Being 53 and not having been near a bike for 30 years I found it a pretty steep learning curve, making lots of mistakes along the way and getting "stuck" at various points. But Pete's clear, patient instruction and constant encouragement kept me going. Pete's philosophy is not just to get you through the various tests, but rather to equip you to ride safely and confidently. The training had an immediate knock-on effect on the quality of my car driving - making me a more patient

I really enjoyed learning to ride bikes with Pete. He's an excellent instructor - kind, easy going, knowledgable and enthusiastic. I went from never having ridden a motorbike to getting my full 'A' license with Pete - enjoyed every second of it! Would definitely recommend Nottingham Motorcycle Training to anyone.

Took a CBT with nottingham motorcycle training and had a fantastic time, the riding instructor was brilliant, being clear, patient and instructive without becoming dull. He showed excellent communication skills and really went the extra mile to provide a brilliant service. I really enjoyed the day with high recommendations for anybody wanting to take their bike tests, and will certainly be coming back to get a proper bike license next year.
