Having completed a CBT in the past, at another school, the experience at Shire Oak was night and day... incredibly thorough.
Mark had a level of knowledge and experience that meant every section of the training covered the requirements but was equally tailored to me as an individual, by adding extra knowledge on top, to make me a safer and more knowledgeable rider whilst giving me tips for my MOD1 and MOD2 as that was my next steps.
Mark is a people's person, patient and incredibly easy to get on with... making the day that much more comfortable, with an environment that is easy to ask questions and learn in.
Would recommend this school 110%, you aren't taught to just pass, you're taught to ride safely and confidently beyond what's expected in the CBT.

I can't recommend Mark from Shireoak highly enough. As three sisters we found Mark to be very attentive to our individual needs. We really felt at ease and comfortable with his style of teaching. It's been an enjoyable experience! Thanks Mark from Lowballer, Speedy & Miss Daisy 😂

Absolutely amazing motorcycle training school. Had a few lessons before cbt with mark and he was amazing so kind and doesn’t rush you. I was very nervous as I have never driven anything with gears before! But he reassured me and was brilliant every bit of the way and ended up passing my cbt. Would recommend to anyone looking to get on a bike !!!!

Completed my CBT at the weekend under the expert tuition of Mark. Was nervous about it as I was a complete novice and an older learner. Although I have been driving for 30 years, bikes are a completely different challenge and I welcomed Marks patience in passing on his expertise in a very effective and calm manner. Really enjoyed the sessions and especially getting out on the road under close supervision. Never felt uncomfortable and always an eye on safe riding. I would recommend Shire Oak to anyone planning to get on a bike for the 1st time. I will be back to do Mod 1&2 next year once I have a few miles of practice behind me. Thanks again 👍

Great place for my CBT
I chose Shireoak because of its reviews. I had both Mark and Nigel instruct me and I must say their knowledge and patience was fantastic. They do all they can to not only teach you how to ride a bike but how to keep yourself safe while doing it. Would definetly recommend shireoak for your CBT.

Well I finally did it and passed thanks to the wonderful training and support from Alan and Max at Shireoak Motorcycle Training. I now have my mod 1 and mod 2 certificates after what has been quite a long journey for me. Never having ridden a motorcycle before, being a more ' mature' student and having not completely met with the right 'teaching style' for me at previous training school's, Alan and Max persevered with me where I sense other training schools I tried had felt frustrated and tried to rush me through the process. Initially, Alan's patience was put to the test at times as I struggled to feel relaxed and 'natural' on a motorcycle. However, to his and Max's credit, my confidence and enjoyment of riding a 650cc motorcycle grew, so much so that I passed my mod 1 on the third attempt and passed my mod 2 test today first time! It has been a long dream to get my classic Velocette motorcycle on the road in memory of my late dad who rode them in his youth. All I have to do now is remember the brake and gears are on the opposite sides!!! Thanks again Shireoak for everything and keep up the good work. Ian😁👍
