In 1993, Essential Driver Training and its motorcycle division Fast Trak was opened in a tiny two room craft centre in the north of Shrewsbury. Twenty four years later we are still going from strength to strength.
Our core business in earnings capability is trucks and haulage but our hearts are in bikes.
Every single member of our staff are enthusiastic bikers and most are qualified instructors. We train on bikes, we tour on bikes and we race bikes. We have staff who slide around speedway tracks. If you do something on a bike that we don't, it's probably illegal and you should be sent to prison.
If you want to learn to ride, well, here we are. Without doubt the longest serving bike trainers in the county. To read further look at website.

Essential Driver Training (FAST-TRAK): Reviews
Fantastic experience: I had my cbt in November excellently trained by Jeff, then went straight for my direct access. Which i was trained by Andy, another top bloke and instructor. Passed first time on mod 1 and mod 2. Excellent atmosphere everyone is really nice. Food is top aswell so will be visiting for some food soon
Fantastic experience: I have just recently passed my CBT with FAST TRACK, and I can honestly say they were fantastic, from Steve booking me in to Jeff the instructor, who was excellent. I am looking forward to returning once I have taken my theory test to complete my direct access course. Oh and the diner is superb. Thanks all.
Welldone on your cbt completion. Hope you enjoyed the Diner facilities too. See you soon. Thank you again
Fantastic experience: Passed the CBT in a day without any issues. This was in November, so a tad chilly! Experienced instructors with lots of extra tips and advice on how to stay safe on the roads. Slightly rushed towards the end of the course (4pm) but mostly due to the short daylight hours in November. Extra points to Marie for a cracking cup of tea & cake! Will be booking the remaining tests later in the year / 2025. Recommended!
Many Thanks Josh for your kind words. Hope to see you again soon. Stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend using fast trak, fantastic company all staff are extremely professional and friendly the instructors are brilliant, patient, hard working and will definitely get you upto the standard. The facilities are fantastic the food is top notch and the place has an amazing atmosphere. Thank you to Mick and Andy for all your training and thank you to all the staff for getting me through the mod 1 and mod 2 thank you for all your support.
You were a awesome client. Thank you for coming to us an using our diner too. Stay safe and enjoy your freedom on 2 wheels.
Negative experience: Fast track or just fast cash? please read and deside for your selves but this is what happened to me. Scott dey. Cbt course 14/03/2024. Arived early ready for cbt after paying in advance, second person who was booked on same course was over half an hour late so I had to wait before starting my training. By lunch time I had been told several times by instructor Geof how well I was doing and that he would have no problem taking me on the road after lunch, the second person on the course was struggling and the instructor told me he will need more practice, during lunch the decision was made by Geoff to allow the other guy to continue and have a bit more practice, I thought fair enough, then after doing several more maneuvers and practice we were then both told we didn't have time to do the road part, and we would have to re book and pay a further £110 on top of the £170 we already both paid, in fairness to Geoff he offered to help me out by doing the road part with me the next afternoon, after hearing it could be a possible 4 week wait due to availability and my shift pattern, which I appreciated and booked in for it, the next day I was taken strait on the road and after the ride was given my certificate with no issues at all. They say they differ from other schools by only having 2 students at a time not 4 but I feal they may be making there money back by making people pay twice unnecessarily, like I said the instucter said several times I was ready for the road ride before lunch brake on day one, then to be told at around 15:00 that there is no time to take you on the road, I think is unacceptable not to mention the extra money. Be careful, guys. I'm not the only person that this happened to, and I don't think I will be the last.
Fantastic experience: A massive thank you to fast trak for helping me get my full motorcycle license, highly recommend anyone who wants to get there motorcycle license use fast trak brilliant and a big thank you to Andy for getting me there fantastic

Fantastic experience: Huge thank you to Fast-Trak for helping me complete my full motorbike license. In particular Mick who got me familiar with and confident on a bike and passing my CBT in a day having never previously ridden, and Andy who was amazing at preparing me for my Mod1 and Mod2 both of which I passed first time despite a few nerves and confidence issues! (And to Kev who also helped me pass Mod1!) All instructors and crew are welcoming, approachable and professional with a great sense of humour all of which really help put you at ease. Everything was explained to me very clearly and I never felt unsafe or unsure. I could go on but in short I cannot recommend them enough. Looking forward to returning and paying a visit to the cafe on a bike of my own! Thank you again - 10/10

The instructors have some incredible experience between them and are eager to share that knowledge with their students regardless of ability. They help develop your confidence and competence in a fun and easy to follow manner. If you are looking to get yourself on two wheels, be it on a twist and go scooter or something bigger, these guys and girls will help you achieve that dream. The bikes and equipment are great and superbly maintained helping you to feel comfortable and safe whilst you’re training. And if for any reason you’re not interested in bikes, Fast-Trak have a fantastic little cafe on site that is worth a visit on its own.

The instructor's were patient with the three riders and myself (even when I lost my instructor for a while during our road ride, sorry again guys ) they made a joke had a few giggles and got the job done. I would highly recommend using 'Fast Trak' as they are a family feel company, and I'll certainly be going back for my big bike licence shortly

Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT yesterday with these guys, it was a good experience. The day was fun, I learnt loads and the centre has a very supportive, relaxed atmosphere and great food!

Fantastic experience: It's all been said before by many other satisfied customers, but when Mick C and Fast Trak taught my other half to ride a bike and pass her test, the patience, professionalism and friendliness have made a lasting impact. If you want to learn to ride safely, put your trust in these good people. You won't find better.
Many thanks Steve.
Fantastic experience: Read just a handful of reviews and you'll get the message. These guys are great, they're friendly, super helpful and hugely experienced. I didn't think I was ready, but Serena told me to 'pull my finger out' and just do it. Mick & Andy were excellent at getting me where I needed to be, and I passed 1st time!!!! I would highly recommend them, they're set up is great, especially the cafe! The bikes are perfect for the job. Huge thanks again to Serena, Debbie, Andy & Mick....and all the crew!

Fantastic experience: Couldn't name a single thing I would change about my experience at Fast-Trak yesterday. I went to do my CBT and the staff were incredibly patient and understanding. I often get flustered and frustrated when I can't do things right, but the instructors were so friendly and helpful that I didn't feel that at all! All the staff seem to get along really well and are at ease with each other, which makes for a lovely relaxed and at ease atmosphere. Thank you all for such a good time! I'll definitely pop in and say hello :)
Hi Freya hope your getting on ok on the road now. Dont forget to pop by an say hi. Try out some cake or bacon bap. Thanks for coming to us back in dec 2020.
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT with these guys and gals. Absolutely amazing, made me feel welcome and so friendly always willing to help with any questions or issues. Fantastic trainers there that help as much as possible in any and every way. The ladies there are so friendly and fun it felt like I was riding and spending time with friends. So helpful via emails or phone calls will definitely be doing all my motorbike training with these. Festa
Thanks very much Karl, look forward to seeing again soon
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my A2 test, I could not of done it without the outstanding instructors who provided the BEST training. Serena went above and beyond to get me a test after it was cancelled last minute due to Covid. I would recommend to anyone to use FASTRACK. Unbeatable atmosphere and training together. 5/5!
Thanks Adam it was our pleasure to meet you too. And hopefully see you in the near future. Take Care.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Fast-trak EDT for motorcycle training. I am pleased to say that I have recently passed my category A motorcycle license. The instructors and staff were fantastic and went the extra mile to accommodate me during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were issues with DVLA concerning test booking that must have been a nightmare for them but Serena was wonderful and manage to sort them out so I could take my test. As I happened I ended up with having mod 1&2 test on the same day and I managed to pass both first time, this wouldn’t have been possible without Fast-Trak’s professionalism and their dedication to there customers. I would like to thank Serena, Dave, Debi, Andy and Geoff and the rest of the staff for all their help and support during this difficult time. I am over the moon and can’t wait to see you all on a ride out soon.
Tom were so pleased with your result, with all the issues with current situation very pleased for you. Smiley faces allround. Welldone once again :)
Fantastic experience: I used Fast trak to do my direct access, they were brilliant from start to finish, got my test cancelled just before lockdown started but Serena managed to get me in very quickly once tests reopened. The knowledge and training from the instructors is fantastic and all the team at Fast trak are very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend this company to anyone looking at doing there training. 5 stars!
James thank you so much again for coming to us. Keep a look out for some future events. Hopefully get to see you on your bike soon. Stay safe. You have been a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: We did out cbt with Mick, amazing and thanks to all.
Your welcome Huw, Mik is a pretty nice guy. Thanks again for coming to us. Hope to see you for the next stage.
Fantastic experience: By far the best bike learner center in Shropshire staff friendly and helpful cant do to much for you definitely recommend
Thank you Neal for the kind review, glad you had a great day. Hope to see for further tuition. Stay safe both you and your brother.
Fantastic experience: Did my training and test with these guys. Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. Andy my instructor was excellent. Took my low level of experience and built upon it with patience and understanding. And at the end of the day, a pass was achieved. Would recommend these guys totally. 100%.
Thank you Jonny for your review. Stay safe
Fantastic experience: Took my cbt, mod1 and mod2 with fast-trak. They are such a good bunch of people that make you feel instantly welcome. Mick was my instructor for the course and he was clear and knowledgeable about every aspect of the training. Would recommend fast-trak to anyone
Martyn you were a pleasureable customer and thanks for coming to us once again. Look forward to seeing you in the future. Stay safe and enjoy the 2 wheel freedom x
Fantastic experience: After passing my theory I was looking forward to doing my practical from start to finish, being unsure of who to go with I asked a few friends and fast-trak at battlefield had been recommended to me each time, so I popped down to see what all the fuss was about. I walked in and was welcomed warmly by smiles, I got chatting to a lovely lady (Serena) who through conversation and good advice got me sorted and booked in for the training we agreed I would need, I left feeling very positive and looking forward to returning and doing my CBT with Jeff, Upon returning I was excited but nervous, as soon as I walked in I was welcomed with smiles and an offer of a hot drink before we got started which immediately put my mind at rest and made feel a lot more comfortable. With good support and tutoring from Jeff I passed my CBT and couldn't have been happier with the day and the training provided, Left feeling excited to tackle my mod1 training upon my return to fast-trak, very happy I had taken the advice and recommendations of others to go to fast-trak for my training. I returned a few days later and yet again warmly welcomed in and offered a hot drink, the days plan was explained by my next instructor (Mick) feeling very comfortable with the plan for the day but yet nervous to be going onto a big bike we got started. Cutting a long story short I didn't take to the big bike as well as I had hoped unfortunately, but Mick remained very positive and he assured me that there are only solutions not problems, I felt annoyed with myself that the bigger bike got the better of me but I had 100% confidence in Mick and that he would find a way to help me get through it. Mick and Serena had been amazingly accommodating with rearranging my training and funds I had already paid getting me back in for further training on a later date. When I returned I was amazed with the options and advice I got to getting me used to the bigger bikes, we went back to the 125 and worked up to a 500 and then back onto the 600, their solution to my problem worked wonders and built not only my confidence back up but got me feeling much more positive that I can do it, by the end of that days training I was on top of the world and knew with the help and support of my instructor Mick as well as the support of Serena and all of the other staff at fast-trak I would be completing and passing my mod1 and mod2 training in no time. Each time after that day that I returned for mod1 and mod2 training I knew I had made the best choice with going to fast-trak, the main people I worked with had been the brilliant Jeff for my CBT, amazing Mick for my mod1 and mod2 training and the lovely ladies Serena and Donna in the office along with with a few other friendly trainers that were always full of smiles and friendly conversations. I am over joyed to say I soon went on to pass my mod1 and mod2 training and now ride my own big bike and my pride and joy, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't have my license and own bike now if it hadn't have been for the support, help and encouragement of Mick, Serena and Debbie through my difficulties during my mod1 and mod2 training. I really cannot recommend fast-trak enough! Lovely helpful supportive people that have become more like family now. I will definitely be returning for advanced rider training with fast-trak!
Abby Its lovely to see how well you have blossomed since your CBT - having a Full A category licence. We are always here to help if you need any advice. As said before our door is always open. And when you become part of the Fast-Trak EDT Ltd family you will never be forgotten.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to everyone at fast Trak for getting me through my mod1 and mod2 first time! Mick is a top instructor who taught me a lot about both bike and road safety.

These guys are amazing, from the moment you walk in the door, there's a relaxed yet professional atmosphere, with the knowledge and experience of everyone involved easy to see. Great banter too.

Fantastic experience: Ive just done my cbt and direct access with fast-trak. From day 1 I found the staff down to earth and extremely good at their jobs. Both Serena and debbie in the office are fantastic people and they do actually care if you pass, I had the an amazing response from the both when I passed my Mod 2. It felt like we had been friends for years! Mick was my instructor who although comes across as short and abrupt is the best trainer you could ask for, he is very thorough in his teaching and he doesnt just teach you to pass, he gets the best out of you so you can be the best rider you can. I've had a great time learning from the fast-trak guys and could not recommend them enough! Happy, friendly, helpfull... literally cannot do enough for you. See you all soon as passing on my bike. Matt

Fantastic experience: CBT to Full Bike Licence (DAS) - Very professional service provided from friendly staff, I had Mick/Steve/Dave on different stages of my training out on the road and they all work very hard to give you high quality training. Must thank Serena and Debbie for helping setup everything, they will provide you with all the information you need to get things moving.

Many Thanks Beccy and you are now a very close part of our family now. Enjoy your new freedom. And thanks for coming to us
Negative experience: Unfriendly, unhelpful and down right daft. After fast traks response I thought I would add some additional detail to help anyone else looking to get motorcycle training: I had cancelled a few times however I had paid additional deposits and gave advance notice before this - I was totally fair and even apologetic. However my experience with dealing with Fastrak in the end was was actually rude and obnoxious. I cancelled a test and a lesson due to slipping a disk in my back, I asked if there was anything they could do about it IE charging me at cost to help me along (the bill would have been around the £250 mark and I would have seen absolutely nothing out of it) to which they refused and said I would have to pay the full amount if I wanted to go ahead with any additional training. Even after this stage they had the cheek to rudely tell me that I have to correspond with them on the phone and not email. Where I work I don't get phone signal and to add to the point; you are being paid hundreds of pounds for this service - you can correspond via email if that's what the client wants. I used the word daft as if they tried to play ball or even speak to me on my level I would have stayed with them and they would have made alot of money off me as well as had recommendations from friends of mine too whom are all looking to learn - however now I have gone with a different provider who has actually given a much improved service. Having 20 years experience in motorcycle training wasn't the problem whatsoever, the training itself was actually okay I was upset with the way I had been dealt with. They even had the cheek to say good luck going anywhere else as they are the cheapest around which is true, by perhaps a tenner. Take my advice go to any other training centre in Shrewsbury
We are grateful for any comments made about our company, however in over 20 years we have never had a bad review until now. All I would say in response is that the writer cancelled his training on four occasions without warning and on each occasion we moved his date without charge. On the fourth occasion he was told he would need to leave a deposit before we would book him in again. He says in his review we are "daft" We were certainly daft to give him four chances. It's a shame really because the customer who took his place has since passed his test and has left glowing reviews.
Fantastic experience: Great company and great bunch of guys. I enjoyed my Operator CPC course so much I did not want to go back to work.
Fantastic experience: I did my CPC with fast track was dreading 35 hours but Kevin was great and so informative time flew, coffee and bacon sandwich as well can not be bad, great Team thank you
Fantastic experience: Well what can I say. I went to fast trak after finally convincing myself that the time was right to go for my bike test. Having never been in there before I was amazed at just how friendly and welcoming the staff were. Everything was explained to about the lessons and test's, all the prices were clearly set out and explained as well so I knew exactly what I was getting for my money. Nothing was too much trouble for them and I left having booked my whole bike test and lessons from start to finish. When I arrived at the morning of the first part of my tuition I was greeted with a cup of tea and smiles, instantly this calmed my nerves. This was the case every step of the way with each part of the learning process. The instructors Ross, Kev and Steve not only know what they are talking about but have a really good approach to explaining it to your in a way that is understandable. At no point did I feel under pressure or worried that I might not be able to do it. The friendly and confident approach from them was very reassuring and I didn't feel like I was just another student to them. If you go there and get Ross as an instructor you will never forget the fact that he never stops smiling haha. I completed all my lessons and test's over the course of a month (which flew by) and on the 28th of July I passed my MOD 2 and become the proud owner of a bike license. I honestly can't thank the staff there enough, they are an amazing set of people who will go out of there way to make you feel at home, clam and get you ready to pass your test. The bikes they put you out on are very good and I actually fell in love with the one i was riding (the yellow one!!). Lastly I must give a mention to Serena and Debbie in the office there. They are two amazing people. Kindness, friendliness, humor and help is just second nature to them and I can't speak highly enough of them. Every step of the way they were there giving you a little supportive comment, the information you need or just making you laugh when the nerves started to set in. They two lovely women and you too will discover just how incredible they are. 4 weeks after passing my test I now go back to visit them at least once a week and say hello, maybe even grab a quick cup of tea if they aren't busy. All of the staff there have become more like friends to me that just the people that helped me pass my test. If you are thinking of doing your CBT or full bike license then I urge you to go and see these guys, you will not be disappointed at all!!!!!
