The DVSA is changing the way CBT is ran. Now is the best time to get in and learn before these changes have to be implimented. The Art of Motorcycling is a professional, approved training body (ATB awarded by the DSA) and is based in the centre of the North East of England Our instructors have many years of experience riding motorcycles both on and off-road and all are DSA approved.
Our instructors are also thoroughly trained in the art of giving instruction. This is as important as riding ability if students are to learn properly whilst appreciating the experience of the lessons. So we pride ourselves on being a professional, yet friendly school with lots of patience and understanding.

I did my CBT at art and I had a great time, despite it raining. I'm a driver and probably assumed it would be easier than it was but the instructor, Chris, was there every step of the way to assist me and the other student sharing the class.
I made many mistakes but never did I feel like I'd exhausted anyone's patience, it was simply me and another student informed clearly some of the mistakes made and the best approach to rectify them, never too much at once. Heading out on the road was a bit nerve racking at first and I quickly made several mistakes but Chris had a constant dialog with us, kept

So I used Art of Motorcycling for my CBT, My Mod1 lesson and my Mod2 lesson and respective tests, they all made it so easy and such a fun experience from start to finish.
Couldn’t believe it when I went and passed with only 1 minor
Having already purchased my bike I was itching to get out and enjoy the open road only to find that my bike was running a bit rough.
I made a call to Art of motorcycling and was told that although they were very busy they’d fit me in ASAP
Late this afternoon (4:30pm on a Saturday) Alan rang me to let me know he’d worked on the bike this afternoon and

I passed my DAS first time with these guys and I can't praise and thank them enough, the staff are friendly and welcoming.
It was a very relaxed atmosphere and I never felt embarrassed to ask more questions or for further clarification. Alan was great at putting my mind at ease, gave great instruction and was a good laugh.
Also had my MOT done there and no doubt I'll be taking my new big bike there too.
Thanks guys 👍🏻🏍

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value
Great instructors with a sense of humour which really puts you at ease when doing your lessons and tests! Excellent value and honest and helpful tips- can’t recommend ART highly enough for anyone looking to get their bike license, I’ll 100% be taking my bike back to them for servicing!
