I cannot fault the lads and lasses here. I sat my second CBT here back in June then got my MOD1 and 2 booked in. The whole experience from start to finish was incredible. Very patient, knowledgeable and helpful instructors who make you feel at ease throughout every lesson. I'm happy to say I passed both tests first time thanks to the guys. I highly recommend them.

Honestly couldn't speak any higher of this team. Started last year with my CBT with them. Then this year I passed my theory and went straight to book lessons for my Mod1, got a cancellation for the week after and 3 lessons later I passed with 1 minor. Then I got another cancellation for Mod2 a week later, 4 lessons later I passed with 3 minors. In the 2 weeks i was full of confidence thanks to how good this family business is ran and their teaching skills are second to none. Also had so many laughs which helped put me at ease.
Thank you A1 Motorcycle Training for all your help.

Been wanting to do my bike test for a long time, 31 years old, 14 years driving experience, after having a tough few months finally decided to bite the bullet, shot through my theory this week and have managed to get in for CBT and MOD1 with A1 very last minute.
I arrived early at 7.45 and suffer horrendous anxiety (even though I can ride bikes and have road knowledge) and was put to ease by Kevin, who was very professional and very knowledgeable.
I have had previous bike experience, but asked to be shown as if I didn't like a new starter, top to bottom. Kevin is very attentive and easy going

Best Motorcycle Training School!
I have just passed Mod2 today, first time with no minors thanks to these guys! The delivering of the training I received was excellent from day one making me feel comfortable, confident and approachable to all members of staff if I had any questions from riding on the road to asking when my next lesson was.
The administration part of the A1 Motorcycle Training school was effortless. With working offshore all my lessons were booked in accordingly to roll onto my Mod 1 then Mod 2 test which was a huge weight off my shoulders and not having the hassle trying to block
