Having done CBT’s at several schools now I can tell you that the quality of instruction varies considerably. One school advised me to ride near to the kerb as I was riding a scooter, another instructor had no radio and so I had to follow him and try to see his tiny (illegal) indicators in bright sunshine. The same school had their mates cruising past on their back wheels like it was the 1970’s. Not a great example to set to young riders.
None of that nonsense at Able Rider. the instruction is top notch and from an extremely experienced rider who is supportive and encourages rather than scolds.
I would recommend Able Rider to any one but particularly to young riders starting out who would benefit from a little confidence boosting and encouragement. You finish the day not just with a CBT but with the inspiration to take pride in being a safe rider above all else.
I will be taking the training that I need to pass my full test at Able Rider as I know that the instruction given will be exactly what is required to iron out any deficiencies in my riding before I take my full test.
The bikes are well maintained and the kit is in excellent order should you need to borrow some on the day.

Sat my cbt renewal today with Richard. Great guy and very good teacher in passing on his vast knowledge with road safety and the proper way to ride a bike.
I feel much more knowledgeable now compared to my last cbt with another school.
Great guy. Many thanks. Andy

Did my CBT with Richard, genuine bloke with a great sense of humour. Lots of helpful tips and advice on how to improve my riding as a complete novice.

Great place to take your CBT, very nervous when I got there but the instructors make you feel comfortable in what you’re doing. After going back to complete my CBT I can confidently say if you want to learn to ride this is the place to start. To end this off Richard and Mark are both great instructors who know what they’re doing.

Richard was absolutely brilliant on my first practice day prior to mod 1. I would highly recommend him over competitors. No nonsense, honest and transparent. A great coach and day of riding, actually felt very comfortable and enjoyed the session, look forward to getting my full license with Able Rider Training! Cheers.

Both Richard and Mark made you feel comfortable and relaxed. Mark carried out my CBT training and was both thorough and courteous throughout. He ensured our full understanding prior to each task and made the training retainable and fun as well as putting across the seriousness of what the training was there for. It was an excellent rewarding day.

Would fully recommend Able rider to anyone who is looking to complete any kind of bike training whether it be lessons, CBT or bike tests. I recently passed my CBT first time here and would give it a resounding 10/10. I had Mark and he was everything I was hoping for; patient, kind, informative, calm and reassuring. Couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you so much guys ☺️

I did my CBT with Mark today and learned hell of a lot.
I'm a seasoned bike rider but needed the CBT to progress to a bigger bike and thought I knew all I needed to know but clearly after tuition off Mark proved me wrong.
The course did make me feel a bit anxious but after five minutes I felt very comfortable in the chilled out atmosphere.
One word of warning, Mark's jokes are rubbish.🤣
No matter what your age if you want to get on a bike definitely use Able Rider Training.
100% recommended by me for sure.
Nice to meet you Mark and Richard, a pair of top blokes.
Hopefully see you next your.
All the best.
Dave.

Fantastic day doing cbt, was able to book same day as a friend so could do the course as a pair. Mark the instructor was fantastic and really easy to understand and had some great advice. Will definitely both be using able rider training again for our a2 license highly recommend.

I did my CBT over a year ago & recently completed a 4 day course for my full license with Dan. The training sessions were really enjoyable and in a relaxed environment. I can highly recommend Able Rider Training - very knowledgeable, down to earth and good banter. Thanks again Dan!

Just completed my 4 day course for mods 1 and 2 with Dan for my A2 licence. Brilliant instructor, very patient and a good laugh. Did my CBT before twice with Richard and Dan. Great every time. Highly recommend 100%.

Dan has honestly been so patient and has made the atmosphere so fun. I didn't feel any pressure whatsoever and his tips literally saved me from a fail on Mod 2. I struggled to pass with other schools and passed first time with Dan after two days training. I would honestly recommend Able Rider to anyone, but especially if you generally felt uneasy with other schools or have had a hard time in the past on the bike. Coming here has completely changed my perspective and I passed Mod 1 and 2 the same day.

Richard was amazing taking me through my CBT also knowing that I will be doing my full license too letting me try out one of their bigger bikes. He had also showed me many things & given tips as to which other schools which I did my CBT with did not. He also told me what I should do next in order to get my full license.
Highly recommend!

Having recently done my CBT through Able Rider, I couldn't recommend them enough. Everything was explained well and with patience, and I left feeling confident and supported. It was a really fun day! I'm now looking forward to getting on the road with my own bike!

I did my CBT with Dan back in April. He was great! He was knowledgeable and helpful. He quickly judged where you were skills wise and tailored the training appropriately. I was training with someone who needed more time than me as I'd had a bike history. He set me tasks to do whilst I waited. Dan made the whole day extremely fun and we even stopped at Ronald's for lunch 🍔🍟 I'm calling him today to book my full bike training.
10/10 would definitely recommend

Where to start? Contacted able rider to help gain my full bike license. Got invited along for a hour assessment just to see where I was at as I hadn't had any riding experience other than my cbt. Booked my day course to which rich said he was happy to book my mod1, on passing that booked mod2 and today passed that with no rider faults. Rich and Dan put no pressure on you they will just tell you when they are confident you are ready. Many thanks will pop over once I have a bike

I had an amazing experience today with Richard. After getting through my CBT I was able to spend some time practicing on the 650cc which was really helpful. I’m feeling really confident about returning to get Mod 1 & Mod 2 completed. I highly recommend coming to Able Rider for any level of rider training. Richard is knowledgable, honest, no-nonsense and patient. I’ve done my CBT twice before elsewhere, and Able Rider was hands down the best experience. Can’t wait to get back!

Just spent the best day with Richard doing my CBT on a Suzuki ZF600. I have not riden a motorbike for 38 years. Great experience with a great instructor. Safety and correct riding are his priority and Richard gave me the confidence to go beyond my own expectations. I am now booking my Mod 1 & 2 with him in the near future. Thanks Ricard.

Both myself and my son have completed our CBTs with Able Rider Training, neither of us had ridden a motorbike before and as such were both clueless! Richard was patient with us both and very understanding. The set-up that he has is excellent with plenty of space to learn and develop your skills. I look forward to taking my riding further with Richard - onwards and upwards to my full licence!
