Instructor Advice

How UK Motorcycle Training Schools Are Cutting Admin and Growing with ConnectMCT

Author

Running a motorcycle training school in the UK isn’t easy. Between organising CBT bookings, keeping on top of DVSA paperwork, making sure your instructors’ shifts are covered, and chasing MOT or tax dates for your fleet, the admin can quickly pile up.

Most ATBs tell us the same thing: “We want to focus on training riders, not spending half the day buried in spreadsheets and paperwork.”

That’s why ConnectMCT was created. — a management platform built specifically for motorcycle training schools. It’s designed to take the weight of admin off your shoulders so you and your team can focus on what really matters: training riders and growing your business.


What is ConnectMCT?

ConnectMCT is an all-in-one management system for ATBs. Unlike generic booking tools, it’s designed around the realities of a UK motorcycle training school.

From the moment a student books their CBT through to their full licence training, ConnectMCT helps you manage every step in one simple dashboard.
