Completed a basic off ride traing course at the ABR motorcycle festival. Training was excellent with really good trainers and bikes.
Instructors were great
I did a Try Ride and a pre-CBT before my actual CBT, all with Phoenix. These courses really helped and gave me great confidence. Liam and David were both really supportive and they never made me feel stupid! I would highly recommend Phoenix to anyone.

Jon was an absolutely fantastic…
Jon was an absolutely fantastic instructor. Very patient, very encouraging. He was incredibly conscious of the fact we were CBT'ing on the hottest day of the year in 42 degree heat and allowed for lots of water breaks and took the classroom sessions in the shade rather than the hot classroom. Highly recommend Phoenix and Jon for completing your CBT. Hopefully will get him for when I book in for my full license
The instructors were very professional
The instructors were very professional, friendly, clear and precise. The motorcycles the company owns are all up to date modern machines which are well maintained
They’ll get it done!
Tackled the heatwave during my cbt and lost, came back for a special continuation provided by trainer Ben who was brilliant. Patient, kind and a great attitude, I was in fantastic hands and felt confident. Thanks to the Pheonix office team and Ben for all their incredible support. Don’t pass up the chance to learn with these guys!
All good
All good, Dave is a great instructor and a nice person. All was well organised and everything was done meticulously
Fantastic team
The whole team from the office to the trainers are fantastic. Friendly and easy to talk to and accommodating around dates when making a booking. The trainers all have their own approaches but are consistent with the quality of training and their patience is very helpful for those who might not immediately get to grips with the controls, will be recommending to anyone who tells me they want to get their bike licence!
Had a great experience
Had a great day with Martin completing my CBT the other day. Despite the insane temperatures on the day Martin and Lee went above and beyond to ensure me and the other lad were comfortable and able to complete the course safely. The experience and professionalism they both show is second to none and make learning enjoyable and easy. Thank you!!
Amazing Experience!
I had previously wasted time with smaller training providers, so my advice is simple: don’t make the same mistake. If you’re looking for motorcycle training, Phoenix Motorcycle Training is the place to go.
My instructor, Ben, was absolutely fantastic. This was my very first time riding a manual motorcycle, and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. He is incredibly patient, enthusiastic, encouraging, and genuinely passionate about teaching. He believes in his students, gives you confidence, and makes you feel capable of succeeding.
The biggest challenge I faced wasn’t the bike, it was the weather! It was an extremely hot day, and because we have to wear full protective gear for safety, I was sweating a lot. Ben noticed whenever we were getting tired or uncomfortable and regularly stopped for short breaks to make sure everyone stayed comfortable, hydrated, and focused. That level of care really stood out.
The training itself was long, thorough, and incredibly educational. Ben didn’t just explain things in a parking area, he made sure we practised everything we learned in real traffic situations. If I made a mistake or didn’t understand something the first time, he never rushed or became frustrated. Instead, he patiently explained it again and again until I got it right. His calm approach made learning enjoyable rather than stressful.
My biggest recommendation is to check the weather before booking your training. Learning a completely new skill is much easier when you’re not dealing with extreme heat or heavy rain. That said, if you’re lucky enough to have an instructor like Ben, he’ll do everything he can to make the experience comfortable, enjoyable, and successful regardless of the conditions.
Overall, this was an outstanding experience, and I would recommend Phoenix Motorcycle Training to anyone without hesitation. Thank you, Ben, for your patience, professionalism, and for making my first experience on a manual motorcycle such a positive and memorable one!
Super fun day
Super fun day. Was exciting and Nick was a great teacher. Friendly, professional and polite. I have told people this is a great experience even if they are not interested in riding a motorcycle.
Very helpful
Very helpful, would recommend to others...see you in a few months for my full license!
