Great place to learn and train for your cbt or big bike test. I took my test with Tom, he was very knowledgeable with more than 30years riding experience. He took his time in explaining the controls and how the bike worked. This training was better than my previous cbt training. Please give these guys a try you won’t regret it

Did my mod 1 and 2 with Sl and throughout the whole process everyone was incredibly supportive. The training sessions were incredibly valuable as I got to get used to the bikes and the general area for the tests. They provided feedback on my weaknesses while riding and only sought to encourage me to do the best I could on my tests. Could not recommend a better place to learn and attempt your full license tests!

Very happy with both trainers. They were very knowledgeable and easy to ask any questions I had, gave very good advice for purchasing first bike and PPE. Overall amazing experience, not that I told them but I was on 3 hours sleep and they made me feel like I could have done it on none with their excellent coaching. Definitely will be going back to do my full license with them

Very grateful to the team. I completed my initial CBT and now my renewal today. Even with me being a former leaner Duncan took the time to go through information that just needed prompting. Patients is key with this kind of training and the team have it. I even forgot to mention the trainer that I initially had 2 years ago. Who between the team gave me the confidence to want to pursue my full licence! Thank you to the lovely lady on the phone who gave me a discount for returning!!!

I booked my CBT here and the entire experience was fantastic. The guys training are extremely friendly and professional. I would highly recommend using SL as they are there to help you to get to the level you need to be on road and they will do their best to get you there.

Undertook my CBT training with my trainer of the day “Tom”. Very professional and great emphasis on safety. Good vibes throughout. See you again for my full license!

My day started off full of nerves and doubt, but my instructor Duncan soon helped me get over my nerves and put me at ease. The training ground is a bit on the small side but ok for first timers like myself to get used to riding a bike at slow speeds. When out on the road Duncan spoke clearly and kept talking with me and made sure I was safe. I was dreading the turn in the road but Duncan was patient and gave lots of advice and encouragement. I had an amazing day, experience and first introduction to riding a geared motorcycle and I honestly can’t wait to start riding to gain more confidence and finally get my full bike license. Thank you Duncan

Did my first ever CBT here and I have to say I had an amazing experience. I arrived feeling nervous as it was my first time on a bike. Massive thanks to Dan and Duncan who put me at ease from the very beginning. Extremely patient instructors who give out great advice and information. I highly recommend SL Motorcycle Training! Will definitely be going back to do my A2 and full A in the future!

I did my CBT here about 3 weeks ago, the lads here are AMAZING. I still remember you guys and your initials together ‘DBD’! The three of you were absolutely incredible at teaching, I was the only one there with zero experience on a motorbike and you guys taught me gears in the most calm and patient manner. I went from not knowing how to start the bike to being on the road changing gears! Despite the fact that I was stressed and doubting my ability, you guys helped me get it together and believe in myself. Honestly no words for how amazing you three were, what a memorable day!! Thank you. :))

I've used SL Motorcycle Training for my last 2 CBTs, couldn't be happier with the service i recieved, great clear and precise instructors both times. I've seen a lot of people giving unjust 1 star reviews because they themselves failed to read and understand the terms of protective equipment and/or showing up on time, they state clearly the costs won't be refunded so its your job to make sure you're ready for the day, it's not hard people 🤦‍♂️ Definitely recommend, will be contacting soon to book a DAS so i can move up to a bigger bike and leave the CBT charges behind 😅 SL Motorcycle Training, once again thanks for having great instructors on board 🙏 Speak soon.

Absolutely amazing team, I’m an older lady that’s always wanted to ride. The school is amazing, the trainers are patient and understanding and help with every aspect, I could not praise them enough and thankfully due to their expertise and advice I will be continuing to learn and have a fab time being a biker “thank you guys so much” you have made my wish come true. I will never go anywhere else for training and can only highly recommend their expertise and commitment “absolutely amazing” 🤗

Fantastic! After a horrible experience with another company, my 16yr old was taken through her CBT by a very professional and supportive team, from booking the course to completion. I highly recommend them to anyone who considering doing their CBT. Thank you once again

I booked my CBT 2 days before the test/ assessment and there was no problem. When I arrived the instructor was a lovely guy his name started with a D but forgot his name. Although he was strict (as an instructor should most definitely be), he was a great guy and a very good instructor. I had never been on the road before and after all the training and the 2nd ride I was so comfortable with the roads thanks to him. If I ever get further training I will definitely return to SL motorcycles based on my experience and want to thank my instructor for helping me pass.

Today, I completed my first CBT training. No riding experience at all. Very challenging but at the same time a fun day! Fantastic and patient instructor with a high level of professionalism. Everything has been explained in the smallest detail to be sure that we are safe on the road! Highly recommended training center! Well deserved ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Competed my CBT with Ian and Stuart, they took their time teaching us with no pressure. Did my CBT on a Hond CBF125 and and vision 125. Best time of my life. Will definitely come back in future. Thank you Ian & Stuart. Also thank you Nadine for the amazing customer service over the phone when booking my CBT.

Great place for CBT and amazing instructors! We went through everything from talking about safety gear and Highway Code, to practical tests on a nice Honda. We were supposed to be 3 people but the other guys did not have proper equipment so I ended up having kind of a private lesson. As a first time rider I left the place feeling confident that I will be safe on the road. Hoping to go back soon for full licence. Thank you!💪🏻 PS: If you don’t read the rules and don’t have proper equipment don’t bother going there and don’t be frustrated and leave 1 star reviews. They are doing a great job.

Done my CBT training today with SL motorcycles , really good company and friendly staff. they look after you and won’t take you on the road unless they believe you have the ability to look after yourself and others. They will make sure you feel confident with the motorcycle before moving on to the next exercise. Highly recommend. Definitely will come back to do a full license.

Done my CBT with SL motorcycles really good company, they look after you and won’t take you on the road unless they believe you have the ability to look after yourself and others. Dan was my trainer really nice gentlemen all staff I met are polite, kind and friendly and you can easily get on with them. They make sure you nail something before you move onto the next exercise. Definitely will come back to do a full license.

absolutely GREAT riding school. From the staff on the phones to the instructors training you. I successfully passed my CBT last year with ease thanks to the fantastic work from the team at SL. Then 12 months later within the space of just over a week, I succeeded in completing and passing my MOD 1 and MOD 2. They’re so knowledgeable, patient, helpful and Friendly. Now I‘m finally a holder of a full category A bike licence. I highly recommend this company for any bike related courses. Thank you sooo much SL MOTORCYCLE TRAINING!!! All the best Shayne.

Just completed my CBT with Ian and I can say he has the patience of a saint. Good clear instruction throughout. Can't fault the teaching at all. Be aware that there's no real places to grab lunch nearby and you can't rely on the coffee van to show up, so best bring a packed lunch. Hot drinks are provided and some basic gear too. Definitely recommended. Many thanks.

Completed my CBT and I am so glad that I went with SL Motorcycle Training. Without a doubt it was the best decision! The training was 1st class and not to be beaten. In my experience, the support, teaching and demonstrations are informative, constructive and encouraging. Thank you to IAN & STUART for being 💯 % A ⭐ rated superstar trainers. Without them

My experience with SL Motorcycle Training was amazing. My instructor S. TRENCH was brilliant, he was so patient and helpful I could not have asked for a better instructor. I did manual riding for the first time ever, he showed me tricks and how to get clutch right. Honestly, best day ever! Thank you!

I had a fantastic experience with Sarah and team. They are outstanding in how they teach and highly professional in the way they deal with people. I had no biking experience whatsoever, but I did my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 with SL and passed the first time for everything. Now happy riding my new 1000cc bike 😊. I can't thank Sarah and the team enough for the support and guidance.

I just had my CBT today and I can say that I am more confident to be on the road soon, considering that I never have been on a bike. Dan and Stuart are more than capable to teach you everything you need to be as safe as possible on the road. I highly recommend these lads at SL Motorcycling Training. This should be a 10 star. Again, thanks!

The two gentleman that trained both my father and I were above amazing. Unfortunately, I only remember the initials of their names, A and E; such lovely and patient people, great instructors. Can't recommend them enough. Hopefully I will see you in 13 months to take my full license.

I had my mod 2 test today, with a day's training the day before. Sarah (the miracle worker) is an excellent trainer not only does she build your confidence she knows her stuff very lively and easy to get on with and creates an all round brilliant experience. Lucky enough to have passed first time and cannot thank you enough. If you are thinking about taking any form of motorcycle training then be assured these guys and girls are the people to be with. Once again many many thanks Sarah.🛵❤

Had a great session with Ian and Ryan in Dagenham. Was very informative and interesting. They made me feel extremely comfortable which gave me the confidence to perform my best. I was given advice and tips personally by ian and Ryan which I appreciate. A beautiful lady called Sarah also stepped in to help and was amazing. Thanks guys. 10/10 from me.

NEW RIDERS PLEASE READ Words cannot describe how much gratitude and happiness this CBT training was for me. Sarah (Owner) contacted me after hearing about my horrible CBT story from a female riding group. She offered me a CBT at her school. She was a absolute dream! So welcoming and you can tell she really cares and breathes bikes! Not only that she is super aware that when you are leaving this training you walk away with a understanding of what gear to look for, is it certified to the EU standards. All these things are so important as a biker this is your protection on the bike and this was addressed thoroughly! My instructor Ian, you are an absolute legend! I cannot thank you enough for your patience and calm presence that really helped me on the day. I couldn't have done this without you! He knew I was struggling at the start, I think my confidence was lacking because of my previous training that gone wrong. He was so persistent and was really rooting for me! The compassion he had is something you cannot teach someone. He is wonderful and I am thankful you taught me :) It is a lot to take in 7 hours but they were aware that I was the one student that was starting from scratch and they really catered around my skills and made sure I left feeling capable to ride. Honestly choose SL Motorcycle training for your CBT. They are very thorough about gear, bike and theory knowledge as well as the riding part. It is just as important to be safe on the roads and protected. THANK YOU SO MUCH

I was sent to Sarah to do only CBT training by a different training school I initially chose to do my full motorcycle training with. After completing my CBT I decided to do my full motorcycle training with Sarah (SL TRAINING). I wanted to be trained by Sarah. Sarah has a unique way to explain and she’s confident. She leaves no stone unturned. I passed all my test first time. If you want to get motorcycle licence and good training SL MOTORCYCLE SCHOOL is the perfect place. Lots of love Sarah

I came here to do my CBT yesterday and Dan was fantastic. He thoroughly taught us how to operate the bike, what checks needs to be done before riding and gave me the confidence to ride. The other instructor (Ian I believe - fancy black bike) was also great and taught me a few things to look out for on the road as well. Both instructors were fun to learn from and incredibly passionate about bikes. Absolute gentlemen with a lot of patience for learners. I made some mistakes at the beginning. Not only did they correct me but their calm demeanor gave me the confidence I needed to ride. I am extremely happy to have passed my CBT through their tutelage and plan to come back to do my full motorbike license. I would like to thank them both, as well as Sarah, for giving me this experience. See you all again soon! Thanks Viet

Can highly recommend SL Motorcycle training, professional and fun. Fantastic to speak to over the phone with any questions and also communication via E-mails with details arranged. Was welcomed by Sarah who was friendly, talkative and made me feel at ease going back onto a bigger bike. We went out for my MOD 2 practice run and I returned with confidence, more relaxed, knowing I am ready for the test the following morning. Even though the test day was heavily raining, I passed my MOD 2 with no issues at all. Thank you Sarah and her team, look forward to popping in for tea and biccys soon!

If You don't want to learn in a fun, warm and welcoming environment, then I suggest you go elsewhere. Sarah brings warmth and friendliness to an environment where you can't help but learn. Her ability to teach and instill confidence to achieve your goal at her training school is amazing. Not only will you leave with the ability and understanding of how to ride a bike safely (providing you put in the work of course) but you will leave with a friend. I highly recommend you check out sarah's training school, you won't be disappointed.

Bobby I have not been on a motorbike for 20years I phoned SL motorcycles and spoke with Sarah and I was panicking quite a lot But Sarah put the panicking away by advising Me professionally that it would be all ok and remending me that I need do a back to biking course Which I did on Sunday still a bit panicky but Sarah put all that right on the day. After all years I could have not asked for better instructor Sarah does everything 10 out 10. so anyone looking for cbt or back to biking Have look at SL motorcycles 👍👳‍♂️
