Had an amazing experience with Zen team. Couldn’t ask for a better instructor than Alex for completing my DAS tests. Did my CBT, Mod1 and Mod2 with Zen. Detailed instructions and explanation at each stage, tailored feedback and lots of practice rides ensured smooth rides on both test days. Passed both my tests on first attempts! No better place to do it and they are the nicest people, great biking environment - thanks a lot team!

Completed my CBT here. Laura instructed and trained throughout the day. Very knowledgeable and fun. Went through safety tips, information about bikes and gear, etc we completed our training in safe location within premises. We had access to all the riding gear etc. Laura made the day fun along with great riding tips and experiences. Thanks again . Will be returning for my DAS soon.

First class service from an amazing team! My friend and I did the cbt and full license at zen and thoroughly enjoyed it. The two instructors we had were Drew and Alex.
Drew is a character that instantly puts you at ease and makes the learning an enjoyable experience.
Alex has a calm and concise delivery giving useful information the whole day. They do it their way and probably different to most schools which is why I’m really glad I chose zen. Do not hesitate to get booked in, they are the real deal! Thanks for everything Zen.

Had my retake CBT today with Drew and I can't praise him enough. I have my DAS course booked in very soon but had to retake my CBT. Not only did he take the time to reassure and coach the young lad that was new to riding but he also spent time with me and gave me coaching tips and advice for my DAS course. It was a long day of bike riding and not once did Drew lose his patience and he continued to help coach the other gentleman as well as coaching me for my DAS course. The other staff there are also so bubbly and welcoming. I will definitely be popping in once I have passed my DAS.
Thankyou for the days ride today Zen!

Amazing teachers, supportive and never rush you while fostering an amazing environment of learning. From CBT to direct access everyone has been amazing and truly are genuine riders that don't only want you to pass, but pass and ride convincingly. They don't teach you riding tips and tricks for the sake of passing a test, but really care that you become as good a rider as possible. Their passion and enthusiasm brushes on to you and extends their normal day to day work and truly make you feel part of their community no matter your background or whoever you are!

After other schools cancelled on me I decided to give zen a go. From the second I walked in I knew this was the right place. Drew was my instructor for the day and what a guy he was, the knowledge and tips this guy gave me will set me up for life on two wheels. Not a bad word can be said about this school, if you are looking to learn look no further.

Had my CBT training yesterday with Drew from Zen motorbikes. Couldn't have been a better day. Drew provides you with the environment to make you feel relaxed and do your best. The tips you get beyond the standard stuff is priceless. The level of knowledge is top notch he really knows his stuff, but gives it to you in a way that makes you understand and absorb it. It's made fun with the banter but serious when needed. I really appreciated all the help, I did my scooter CBT but will definitely be back to do my motorbike training. Thanks

Attended my CBT training course here. I’ve never ridden a motorcycle before and was worried I wouldn’t be able to do it. Alex & Laura made me feel comfortable and really helped me understand how to ride and spent lots of time making sure I felt good. Honestly, really can’t thanks these guys enough for a great day. Feel so much more confident and ready to start riding. Definitely recommend 100%

This was one of the best decisions I ever made! I was a little nervous walking into this as I’ve never ridden a moped before, but my instructor Drew made me feel very relaxed and safe, and we had lots of laughs which calmed my nerves massively. These guys are really passionate and really know what they are talking about, they give you so much information on how to progress to your next steps too. Go and get yourself signed up for an amazing experience.
Don’t be afraid to try new things, you might surprise yourself!

The support and advice is top notch. Quality experienced Instructors who I felt totally safe with at all times. Don't take my word for it, go get booked in and experience it for yourself. 👊🏍

Completed my Full Bike licence with Zen and they were great! All the instructors were fantastic and so helpful, actually teach you how to ride not just pass the test. Can’t recommend them enough and the atmosphere/community is second to none. Amazing place

What can I say. If you’re looking for motorbike training, these are your guys / gals. I’ve just done my CBT, despite storm Eunice the guys just cracked on, with smiles - and the knowledge / experience they have is second to none, and they are so passionate! All delivered in a way that makes you relaxed and ready to ride. I can’t wait to do my DAS, Zen all the way for me. Highly recommended. Shout out to Drew - legend. Baby shark haha.
Also went on to pass my Mod 1 and Mod 2 with the excellent training from Adele and Alex - now just got my dream bike - a Harley 883! Cheers guys :)

Had a great time at zen training with the guys/girls, great bunch of people and full of road and riding knowledge ( they literally know everything).
Great place to train if your looking for somewhere relaxed and friendly, gutted I’m not training still to be honest really enjoyed it.
Thanks again everyone, see you on the road
Ps. If you don’t know the baby shark song, be prepared if you leave your indicators on like I did

I recently completed my CBT with Zen and found Drew and Alex to be Professional, Knowledgeable and super friendly. Special thanks to Drew, my instructor on the day, who made me feel welcome from the first minute I walked in and whose calm delivery helped put any nerves I was feeling while out on the road totally at ease. He was even kind enough to advise me on the next step on my 2 wheeled journey, including the what to buy ( and what not to buy) for my first bike. I hope that he is pleased with the bike that I settled on!? See you again in a few months for my DAS :0) Phil

Amazing experience you definitely get your bang for your buck. Friendly team with a great sense of humour and a cheeky bit of banter to keep things entertaining.
From the get go the learning experience was nice and relaxed but also informative.

Loving my training with Zen. Ive completed my CBT and now started my DAS training. Adele, Drew and Alex are passionate, and you can tell motorcycling runs through their blood. By how professional they are in their conduct, methods and motorcycle knowledge. They give sound advice, and help build your confidence. They want you to succeed and will adapt the motorcycle training to suit each individuals progression. I'm having so much fun. They also have a female instructor Adele whom is so inspiring when you are a small female like myself. They provide the bikes and motorcycle clothing if you don't have any.

Great bunch!
Zen teaches you how to ride on the road and not just simply pass the Mod tests 👍 Also have a few laughs along the way.
EDIT:
Just passed my Mod2! Zero faults on the Mod1 or Mod2. No idea how that happened 🙄
Thank you to the team at Zen!
(And special thank you to the coach that magically appeared down a small estate road during my Mod2 👍 Scared the S*** out of me!)

Truly amazing team. For someone like myself, who’s had zero experience when it comes to riding a motorbike. Drew and Alex took the stress away and made the whole experience fun and pressure free. They taught me how to ride and the importance of doing it safely. I honestly can’t recommend Zen Motorcycle Training enough, whether you’re new to it or getting back on a bike after a while, the whole team are there to support you and make it fun.
I can’t thank you enough guys, I will be back to do the advance course once this Covid nonsense is out of the way!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - Great opening hours, very experienced teachers, passionate, big-hearted, honest & reasonably priced - don’t bother going elsewhere - simply 5* !!
Zen motorcycle training- an outstanding motorbike school, you will gain wider understanding of all aspects of road safety, improve your riding ability by a chat and a giggle - can’t ask for more!
With their extraordinary customer engagement Alex, Drew & the Zen family continues to demonstrate their commitment above & beyond, they continue to identify & implement the best practices!
Big well done - super happy customer, will without a doubt return - thank you!

Fantastic CBT traing by Drew. Great set up by the guys and girls down there and cant wait to do my next tests to get my big bike.
They thoroughly deserve the positive reviews they get and I'm sure there will be many more.
Keep it up!

I couldn't have chosen anywhere better to do my CBT.. having never ridden before I took advantage of their "taster session" to make sure I had a feel for it before the day - from the minute I walked through the door I have been made to feel extremely welcome by everyone!! Drew has the patience of a saint and without his faith, encouragement and (sometimes) witty banter I can honestly say the experience would have been nowhere near as enjoyable. Most importantly, they are all lovely people who have a genuine passion to make you the best rider you can be! I can't imagine a better place to learn or improve you biking skills and I'm looking forward to the next adventures at Zen! Cheers everyone - and Lauren for the brews! See you all soon

Completed my CBT training yesterday and cannot recommend Zen Motorcycle Training enough. It had been 20 years since I'd rode a motorcycle and I really didn't know what to expect but I ended up having a fantastic day. Drew was my instructor and he perfectly balanced the theory and practical aspects of the course, whilst ensuring I not only learnt a lot but had a really good time doing so. Drew's passion for motorcycles was more than obvious and on the day nothing was too much trouble, he prioritised our safety and provided me with excellent tips and guidance that increased my confidence no-end. By the end of the day, when we were out on the roads, I was able to massively enjoy myself and have a laugh. Not only has this course provided me with the foundation to build what I hope is a successful future on two wheels, I've also got an excellent memory to look back on.

CBT, What a fantastic day and a brilliant team. Their passion for what they do is inspiring. Having never tried to ride a bike before I was very nervous and if I’m honest a bit doubtful that I would manage it. By tea time Drew had me riding through Stockport in the rush hour feeling very safe and confident. What a talent he has for bringing out the best in people. It is clear from the start that your safety is their main priority along with ensuring you have a good time. Well I had a ball and I can’t wait to go back to do the next part. If you are looking for a fun, relaxed atmosphere from a professional team then look no further. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Brilliant training school, couldn't have asked for better instructors or nicer people to train with. They have a great style of teaching that helped me to properly understand how to ride and not just to pass the tests. They went the extra mile from the get go and kept me laughing the whole time we were out. I couldn't recommend them enough.

I did my CBT, MOD1 & MOD 2 with Drew & Alex. Great prices, great training and just general great experience! i don't think I've ever used great 3 times in a review before, but these words probably don't do it justice regardless. It's quite rare you find people like this, so I'd suggest if you want to learn how to ride properly, nip into to seem them and have a chat. Cheers guys, an absolute pleasure! P.S if you have a terrible drivers license picture under no circumstances show Drew because you will get thrown to the slaughter house. 🤣

Thank you so much, Drew and Neil, for taking two dubious , cautious 50-somethings under your wings and sending them home, beaming and full of confidence. Never would have thought riding through the school run in the rain, could be so much fun! Keep up the great,safe and entertaining work! Best wishes Monica and Will Rogers.🏅🏅

The best decision you'll make in your motorbike experience is being trained by these guys. They know exactly what they're talking about and not only is the place so welcoming, but our instructor, drew, was just the best. It didn't feel like we were being assessed but this is only down to his method of training. It's properly done but with laughs along the way. Never rode a motorbike before today and now I'm confident to be on the roads, all thanks to zen motorcycle training. What a place! Couldn't recommend this place highly enough. The whole place has its own feel, its absolutely fantastic. What a brilliant day. Thanks so much, and we will definatley be back for more!

I couldn't recommend Zen training school and Alex MORE! It was an amazing experience with extremely professional, nice and funny instructor Alex and all the other staff, new bikes, great prices! Mod 1 done with no faults, and Mod 2 definitely won't be an issue :) Absolutely brilliant and friendly people.

I had never been on a motorbike in my life and was really nervous, Drew really put me at ease and even spent extra time teaching me how to control my bike. I can't thank him enough for his patience as he went above and beyond to get me through my CBT. Really glad I chose Zen who have given given me so much confidence & freedom now I'm no longer relying on public transport. Really nice relaxed training without pressure and really enjoyable day! Everyone I met was really friendly and encouraging. Keep up the good work guys 😁 Thanks a million Ken

Zen was absolutely what I needed as a novice to motorcycling. Alex was amazing as an instructor and made sure I understood his direction and its reasoning it wasn't just about passing your test. Most importantly it was bags of fun learning with Alex even when it was chucking it down. Massive thank you to Alex and everyone at Zen!

I booked a days “advanced” training with Zen Motorcycle Training and met up with my instructor for the day. Drew!
We started with a brew and a bit of work on the wipe board regarding lines through bends which made much more sense than things I’d been told before.
On the road Drew was great! I had a fantastic day and I really did learn a lot about riding a motorbike.
Drew taught me how to ride much faster, while being in better control of the bike, so I was also, a whole lot safer!
All in all I am delighted to have done the training and regard it as money very well spent. I am loads more confident on my bike now and Drew’s training has made me a much better rider!
I would recommend Zen to anyone who wants to learn to ride a motorbike and not just pass a test. Happy Days!!

relaxed and welcoming environment for learning. Had a bad experience in the past with another riding school but this was the complete opposite!
helped me pass both modules first time. Very professional, giving you the best advise on how to handle the bike out there!
Absolutely great team thanks guys 😎

Absolutely fantastic school, very relaxed and teach you in a way that you pick it up quickly, definitely a different approach to "do this do that" attitude and having great fun while doing it. You need somewhere to start learning or continue learning after you've passed, this is definitely the place

These guys are amazing. I started in October, just with the intention of passing my test to get the L plates off my scooter. But the love and infectious attitudes of these guys has rubbed off in a big way. The very first day they changed my way of thinking. My scooter never went out again!! Now after having passed my mod 2 today, I can't wait to get my first big bike. These guys can't do enough for you and love what they do. Alex, Drew and Neil I owe you in a big way for all your help and enthusiasm the last couple of weeks. I really have made 3 good friends and will be spending plenty more time at Zen in the future. I really can't recommend these guys enough. So if your looking at training on any motorcycle give them a ring and you won't look back.
Thanks again guys and see you soon
