ART Rider Training: Reviews
Negative experience: I don’t recommend ART Rider. The instructor was so rude and made the whole experience stressful and unpleasant. I switched to A1 Bike Training Centre in Canvey, and it was a complete turnaround! The instructors there were friendly, supportive, and professional. Thanks to them, I passed my CBT with confidence. I 1000% recommend A1 Bike Training Centre!
Hi Chand, It’s Rich here - the owner of ART. I’m slightly confused by your review given that you booked in twice with us and on both occasions you had amicable chats with me about what you needed to do in order to complete the CBT and that we were stopping your training to keep you safe due to your complete lack of knowledge of the Highway Code. On your first visit, this lack of knowledge became obvious in the classroom before we’d even taken you out on the road! On your second visit, we stopped it whilst on the road due to several dangerous scenarios where you caused a serious danger to you and others around you. I’m happy for people to leave reviews that are factual but in this instance, I’d argue that you are voicing your frustrations (all of our instructors are about as far from rude as you can get!) at not completing with us when all we have done throughout is aimed at keeping you safe and alive! Please consider the impact your biased & incorrect reviews have on small businesses. I’m at the end of the phone if you wish to discuss this further… Cheers, Rich
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my CBT ☺️ it was an exceptional experience. The instructors were not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging, ensuring I felt safe and confident throughout the course. The training facilities were outstanding, and the practical sessions were both engaging and highly informative. I truly appreciated how the instructors tailored their approach to match my learning pace, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend ART Rider Training to anyone looking to complete their CBT or improve their riding skills. Thank you for providing such an educational, professional, and enjoyable training experience!
Hi Mohd! Thanks so much for the amazing review - it’s massively appreciated and we’ll make sure the whole team gets to see it. Hope to see you soon & ride safe!
Fantastic experience: I was recommended ART rider by a rival bike training company in the area as they didn't have the availability to fit me in. Their words were "if I was going to take my bike test again, I would do it with ART rider" - I'm glad I took their advice! Great tuition, friendly staff, and fun enjoyable rides out. Thank you to Rob, Colin, Rhi, and the rest of the crew. For anyone looking at doing their CBT or full bike license... If I was going to take my bike test again, I would do it with ART rider.
Thanks so much for the great review Nelson - it's massively appreciated and we're really glad you enjoyed your time with us. Big congrats from us on getting your full licence done. Ride safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.
Fantastic experience: Done my CBT and progressive access with Art and both times walked away confident with the skills taught by a great, straight-talking team. I'd strongly recommend these guys at any level of skill

Fantastic experience: Brilliant teachers. With a wealth of knowledge.
Thanks so much for the great review Luca! It's massively appreciated. Ride safe and see you soon!
Fantastic experience: First time ever on a motor bike, never riden one before. Met Mark and Rob on my first session, both very friendly and professional. Went to the pad with Mark he is absolutley lovely, friendly to the point could have a joke around, did not make it on the road the first time. Came back a week later with Mark again, slipped twice with the bike, but got back on I did not feel ready to go out on the road. Came back the week after this time with Rob absolutley lovely guy, explained things in detail took the time to show me more, then took me out on the road, scary as anything, but we made a couple pit stops and I finally did it. Would defjnatley recommend these guys, your safety& confidence is more important, they do not sugar coat anything either
Thanks so much for the great review Kim. We're so happy that you persevered and worked hard at it to get where you want to be. Ride safe and we'll see you soon.
Fantastic experience: I walked in for my CBT a few months ago, having never sat on a motorcycle. A few months later, I’ve now passed with a full A license, thanks to all the team at ART. The admin team really did their best to make the lessons and tests fit around my schedule! Nothing was too much trouble, even when I needed to change at the last minute! The instructors are second to none! They adapted the sessions to whatever I needed to work on while ensuring I continued to build my confidence and safety. Thank you to everyone at ART. I genuinely can’t recommend you enough!

Fantastic experience: Art rider training is top notch couldn't be more grateful. As a Trike rider with a disability Rich and the gang were so accommodating I did have a mechanical fault on my first attempt which meant I didn't pass however Art supported me on getting my second attempt. I Had Rob as my instructor throughout the whole process and I wish I could give him his own 5* review because not only was this his first trike student but he is so professional and encouraging and just all round helpful. Weather you able bodied or disabled go with Art. Ps Thanks guys for pushing me back to the centre on the first attempt I'll pop by see you soon.

As I mentioned extremely professional approachable and friendly. 1000% Recomand 10 / 10 .

Fantastic experience: Passed my cbt course yesterday with help from Rhi , with not having much road riding experience before she was so patient and explained everything so clearly which has helped me build confidence on the road ,answered all the questions I had. very highly qualified instructor!! , Highly recommend this company was amazing start to finish, will defiantly will returning to complete my full licence soon , thank-you for all your help!! Also they have a great little shop there so worth checking that out!
Hey James! Thanks so much for the kind words - it's massively appreciated and we're glad you had a great day with us. Looking forward to seeing you soon for some big bike action!
Fantastic experience: I did my cbt here at ART and it was a blast, Fun and exhilirating. My instructor was Rhi and i was on a manual 125 bike. I was riding motorcycles in the Philippines since i was 8 and the highest cc I owned was 135cc. She actually let me ride a suzuki sv 650cc for a while for me to try because maybe she saw that I can. I NEVER RIDDEN HIGHER THAN 150CC EVER. To be honest i was supposed to be doing cbt only it lead to Direct Access Training after that 650cc ride. Highly trusted and recommended. I suggest buy your own gear before hand at ART riding gear shop so that you have the perfect fit because they do provide the riding gear as well as a student rider but i found it hard for me due to my size getting the right fit. I passed my full A license with them.
You're the best Mars! Thanks so much for the review. See you soon mate and ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Mark and Frankie were both very good Instructors who were very thorough with their guidance whilst delivering a brilliant experience overall.

Fantastic experience: What a lovely bunch of guys. I'm a complete newbie and am amazed that Colin got me riding and through the CBT in one day. Training was really professional and fun. Hugely recommend and will be coming back for my full licence.
Hiya! Thanks so much for the kind words - it's massively appreciated and we're so glad that you enjoyed your day with us. Ride safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.
Fantastic experience: Unfortunately i have recently passed my full licence with another school. Had i have known about Art before I'm sure i would have chosen them. This is because i met with owner Richard today to purchase a new helmet. I must say what a set up. Great shop for accessories. Such a friendly, knowledgeable and helpful person. Also looking at the array of motorcycles they look a very experienced training school. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a motorcycle training school in Essex, then don't look any further than ART. From start to finish they dealt with everything, and the trainers are just great... plus the bikes are what you should expect when riding for the first time. Would recommend to anyone I know.

Fantastic experience: I completed my cbt today with Colin & John, they made it very easy to understand with clear instructions. Their abundance of knowledge helped me gain a wealth of confidence. Going from almost 0 experience, to riding on the road during the training & then post training I went on a little journey on my own with my own bike, I felt confident & comfortable. I’ll definitely be going back. Felt very welcome!

Hey Barrie! Thanks so much for your kinds words sir! Glad you had a good time and we're looking forward to seeing you soon for your full licence! Ride safe in the meantime.
Fantastic experience: Having had no experience riding a motorbike at all, I was extremely picky about where I went to learn. Straightaway, the prices seemed good and ART cover all of the costs and provide all of the gear you’ll need. Rhi, Colin, Mark, Steve, Andy and the rest of the crew were all friendly, experienced and willing to support me with the right choices to gain my licence. Attentive training. Sessions gave me all of the skills I needed to successfully complete my journey from CBT all the way through to the mod2. Can’t thank you guys enough and will recommend to anyone thinking about getting their licence. You can’t go wrong with ART.
Thanks so much for the kind words Jack - it's massively appreciated and we'll make sure the team gets to see them. Congrats from all of us on getting your licence and we hope to see you soon. Ride safe!

Hi Steve! Thanks so much for your kind words - massively appreciated and will make sure Colin sees this. Well done on getting your full licence and we look forward to seeing you soon.
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to use Art by a friend. I already had my CBT and theory test pass and used ART to gain my full licence. The team are all great with lots of knowledge and experience. They put students at ease and really care about the training and getting you through the test. I would certainly recommend Richard and his team to anyone that wants to learn to ride. I will be investigation the advanced rider training that they offer when I have gained more experience. Thanks again to the whole team.
Hi Craig! Thanks so much for the lovely words. Will make sure the whole team get to see them. Well done on achieving your full licence. See you soon!
Fantastic experience: Excellent 4 day motorcycling course with Andy. A bit wet but felt confident and at ease. Both myself and my fellow trainee passed first time. Would recommend to anyone thinking of taking to two wheels.
Hi Richard, Thanks so much for the review - I have a feeling that you may need to leave it on the other ART page as we've no record of you training with us and our Andy hasn't done a full DAS course for some time now! Possibly the ART over in Sussex? https://www.artmotorcycletraining.com/ Cheers, Rich - ART
Fantastic experience: I done my first ever CBT here the other day, I had a instructor called mark he know what he’s talking about, such a nice guy
Thank you so much for the review - much appreciated. Will pass on your comments to Mark. Hope to see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I am a novice rider with very little experience and I credit Rob and his team at ART with giving the confidence to be competent to start my biking journey. I did my CBT with them and they are great guys. I moved on to my Mod 1 and Mod 2 and passed my direct access test all with 6mths. I had proper guidance all the way and i would recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn with a group of passionate instructors.
Hi Michael! Thanks so much for the kind words - it's massively appreciated and will make sure that Rob gets to see this. Ride safe and see you soon!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! I called back in September to simply enquire. However, after a long chat with Rich, I ended up booking my full DAS there and then. I was incredibly nervous, but thanks to the help of Colin and Rhi and the support of Rich, I passed on 1st November and have my new bike which I absolutely love. Thank you everyone at Art.
Hey Angelo! Thanks so much for the kind words - it's massively appreciated and we're so glad we could help you crack on with your two wheel adventure. Ride safe and see you soon mate!
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed my experience with ART Rider Training - Essex. They are very helpful and friendly. I completed my CBT, MOD1 and MOD2, passed everything first time. Highly recommend ART and thank you for great motorcycle training !
Thanks so much for the kind words Arnoldas - massively appreciated! Hope you have a great time with your brand new bike licence. Ride safe and we'll see you soon!
Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Rich and his team at ART highly enough. I’ve come back to biking after 40+ years, absolutely love it but wanted someone with expertise to have a look at my riding to see if it needed tweaking. I had a full day’s one to one ‘enhanced’ training with Rich and found his style to be relaxed, fun and seriously informative. There is no doubt he has years of experience behind him both as a rider and instructor which made for a great days riding during which I learnt so much. On a personal note, thanks Rich, I thoroughly enjoyed the day and best wishes to you and your team and wish you continued success with the school, it’s well deserved. Oh and thanks for the tea’s.
Hi Paul! Many thanks for your kind words - it's massively appreciated and we're really glad that you enjoyed your day with us. Ride safe and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Fantastic experience: Best place to do your CBT! I had never ridden a bike before and was so nervous, but the instructors are so good and patient. They built up my confidence step by step and really look after you along the way. I would recommend anyone and everyone to come here. Thank you so much everyone at ART, it’s appreciated more than I can say!

Thanks for your kind words Peter. Great to have you train with us and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Fantastic experience: Recommend Art Riding one million %! I was discouraged at a different centre that passing both mods would be difficult as I’m quite short… Not with ART, they made me feel comfortable and motivated that I can and will do it! And I did! (After only being on a motorbike 8 times in my life) I want to say a huge thanks to all of the team for always being super positive and polite. Especially to Andrew, Colin and Rob who all trained me, gave reasonable feedback on my actions and suggested tips and tricks to help me on my test and in the future riding! Don’t hesitate go book with ART now, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!! :)
Thanks for the great words Sandra! Was great to have you train with us and we look forward to seeing where your two wheel adventure takes you! Ride safe and see you soon!

Fantastic experience: Could not fault ART at all! Done my Direct access in just over 2 weeks and the whole process could not have gone any smoother. Passed first time on both modules. Everything was really organised and the instructors are so experienced and patient. Shout out to Colin, his knowledge and passion for riding is truly inspiring. if you are thinking about getting your full license do not hesitate they take care of everything all you have to do is show up and be willing to learn. Thanks guys.
Hey Kemal! Thanks so much for the kind words - massively appreciated. Congrats on getting your full licence, great job! See you soon.
Fantastic experience: I started my motorcycle journey with ART with a gear conversion course having passed by CBT on a scooter at another school. I have just passed my MOD2. The gear conversion course in March 2023 involved off-road familiarisation with the bike and gears and then a road session which gave me a hunger for more riding. I used a helmet and motorcycle clothing and boots provided by ART for the session, this was included in the price. The gear conversion road ride was on local roads with lots of turns and pulling away and importantly focusing on staying safe on the road. The instructor Rob was very encouraging and I felt safe, especially as this was only my second time on the road on a bike. At the end of the session I rode a SV650 at slow speed around a car park to have a feel for a bigger bike and I was hooked. I booked onto the DAS course once I had passed my motorcycle theory test. My first MOD1 training was at the end of March with time on the PAD used for the actual test. There was time to familiarise myself with the bike before we focused on the manoeuvres. Colin was clear with his instructions and although a steep learning curve for me, Colin was patient throughout. On the day of my MOD1 Colin took for out for an hour before the test to practice my manoeuvres and to settle my nerves. I failed to relax during the MOD1 despite knowing it was the main thing holding me back and as a result I did not pass. Colin reviewed my mistakes with me and talked me through how I should correct my mistakes. Having failed the MOD1 I then needed to remember why I wanted to ride and had a solo session with Rich and had a blast enjoying the bike and also had two quick sessions on the pad. I got the bike up to speed as I had previously been scared to go above 50mph. Rich was thorough in his explanations and knew the extra session would improve my road awareness and allow me more familiarisation time with the bike that in turn would enable me to relax for upcoming tests. I booked another MOD1 training session with Andy, very chilled and relaxed and exactly what I needed. The tips were the same as I'd heard before and maybe I just needed to hear it for the third time! I blame the student not the tutors!! The day of my MOD1 was with Colin again, for a pre-examination session to focus on my emergency stop. Very helpful and he got me through with tips until the start of the test. Now for MOD2 training with Colin for more fun riding on the roads, staying safe and thinking about road positioning. My MOD2 test was postponed because of strikes so I took the chance for a second MOD2 lesson with Rhi and she was awesome. Different routes and variations on the same advice, I felt really good after the session. MOD2 test was today and prior to the test an hour with Colin to help me relax and focus on my weakness, roundabouts. Colin gave helpful last minute thoughts on my riding that really helped in the test. The experience with ART kept me going, the flexibility in booking lessons and tests demonstrated real customer focus. There is a genuine desire to get more riders on the road. The customer base was a mix, from the totally bike naieve like me, to those who had been riding around town for years on a 125cc. In some sessions I was alone, in others there was one other student. The feedback was always there regardless of there being two riders or not. The bikes are in good condition, SV650, and despite being over 6 foot I was still comfortable. I bought most of my own gear before the DAS course however I needed thinner gloves when the weather improved and bought these on-site from ART having received advice on gloves from Rich. I had a few cups of tea and coffee before or in the middle of sessions thanks to Heidi and Colin and the whole team created a comfortable family warmth that puts you at ease. Next step is to find myself a bike and then I will go back for advanced training.
Hi Neil, Thanks so much for the kind words sir - quite possibly the most comprehensive review we've ever had! It was an absolute pleasure to have you train with us and we're so glad that we could help you get your motorcycling journey off to a flyer! See you soon mate.
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend ART riders school enough. Very professional and a family vibe to ART. Having never ridden a motorbike, I was able to pass my mod1 and mod2 in a couple of lessons. Colin would quickly pick up on errors and would go out of his way to make sure I knew how to fix them. The little tips that were provided to me to make my riding life better goes a long way.
Thanks Ruhel! Your kind words mean so much to us and it was great to have you train with us. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Fantastic experience: Today I completed my CBT with a great group of people (4 of us) and instructors Andy and Mark... Really fun but informative day. Felt like I learnt so much. Thank you guys.

Fantastic experience: I recently have done my course with ART Rider which finished with me passing everything. To be honest the guys doing amazing job teaching, explaining, preparing new drivers to be ready, and safe riders. Now I can enjoy the time on my bike. thank you guys for letting this happened and I highly recommend the professional team!
Hi Lukasz! Thanks so much for the kind words - will make sure that the team get to see this. Massive congrats on getting your bike licence. Ride safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.
Fantastic experience: From never even sat on a motorcycle to under two short months achieving my full licence is something I personally thought not possible. And I’m sure it would’ve been quicker still, if I didn’t have to go away for work for a week and managing to fail my first mod 2 test… Meeting Andy at the beginning who laid out the best way forwards for me, Ian who completed my CBT and initially gave me these new skills and knowledge, Colin who did both my mod 1 and 2 training growing what I had previously learned and enhancing me with with more skills and knowledge and indeed both Andy and Rich who rode with me to the tests - all amazing guys, great to get on with and they do not just offer the “service” - I’d consider them friends and I very much look forward to catching up soon to show the bike off, ride outs and indeed some enhanced training. Very VERY grateful to all the guys at ART, for their time and I’m sure at times their patience. They get a million out of ten from me!!
Hi Mike! Thanks so much for your kind words - it was great having you train with us and we look forward to seeing you soon! Ride safe sir!
