Very professional
Very professional through the booking process to training day. You are well informed about the CBT and the instructor goes through all modules very carefully and explanatory.
CBT training
I completed my Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) with Lee and Martin at Phoenix (leamington spa). Both very knowledgeable and experienced motorcycle instructors. The whole experience was great. They provide fantastic training from start to finish!
The bikes were well-maintained, and they can provided protective gear. The instructors make you feel comfortable the minute you arrive. They are professional, patient, and absolute experts at what they do. Your safety is always a priority to during every training session.
I began my learning journey with no prior experience riding a motorbike and was quite nervous. All maneuvers were broken down into simple, easy-to-understand steps. Skills are built on progressively at your own pace and reinforced repeatedly with the emphasis on reflective practice. I passed with confidence that i was in control of the bike. I went from nothing, to complete belief in my ability riding a manual 125cc motorcycle. Its been a thoroughly enjoyable journey even in the wind, rain and hail.
CBT day was well-structured, running through the all the elements methodically from classroom basics to practical on-road riding. During the on-road ride, the communication was clear, and I felt completely supported. The feedback genuinely built my confidence and taught me how to ride safely and defensively.
Special thankyou to Lee for being so very patient and chilled throughout and also Martin for a great CBT day. Thank you both for being so positive and encouraging. MC X

I had the best experience with Phoenix
I had the best experience with Phoenix. Will and his mates at the school are approachable and brilliant teachers. They got me through my Mod 1 and Mod 2 pretty easily and I’m a terrible overthinker. Fantastic is the only word I can use to describe them
They way the instructor guide us…
They way the instructor guide us through out the whole process from A to Z . It was amazing and they treat you very well.
I am fully satisfied from you guys specialy from Andrew.
Good luck
I cant praise or recommend the instructors at Phoenix enough.
I cant praise or recommend the instructors at Phoenix Colchester enough. Last year I passed my CBT (2nd time) with Scott and Rob who where fantastic. This year I booked my Mod 1 and Mod 2 with them as although I had had some bigger bike lessons, I really needed some structure and guidance and knew I would find it here.
I had my Mod 1 training with Rob who is just brilliant. His relaxed approach calms you and his encouragement and guidance instilled me with confidence so much so that I passed first time. Mod 2 training was with Paul which was full on but I learnt so much in a day it was really worth it. Scott took me for my Mod 2 test and again, such a skilled instructor, who is easy going and supportive. Although I was extremely nervous, he did his best to calm me down and to focus on all I'd learned. It paid off because I passed Mod 2 too!
Seriously, if you are thinking of any kind of bike training, these chaps are the best at their craft. They make you feel part of the team, make you feel welcome (being a woman that was comforting) and the training and guidance is top notch with some witty banter thrown in too!
Amazing tuition
Amazing instructors, good bikes, and supportive and engaging customer service and bookings support.
Manual CBT
Done manual CBT at the Watford location with my brother, both of us had never ridden a bike before and Ben was a great help teaching us what we needed to know and getting us riding safe on the road. Training was clear and Ben had a lot of patience when we were doing manoeuvres teaching different techniques when struggling. Would definitely recommend for others.
Ben was a great instructor and a quality bloke.
Ben was a great instructor, very clear and very professional. He took his time to ensure me and my brother perfected each task for the cbt training, following this, the ride on the public roads seemed very smooth and safe thanks to his clear communication and instructions.
