Negative experience: The triumph branch itself have nice staff but the training instructor gives you a hard time, told me he had just about enough of me so I cancelled and will find a better one else where.
Negative experience: Yesterday was my last session with Gedge & co thankfully. I had my first session with a new instructor at a different local company today . It couldn’t have been more different from the impersonal and demoralising experiences with Gedge & co. The new session was comprehensive, efficient, supportive and tailored to needs of learner. I held off reviewing Gedges after each lesson in the hope that things would improve through discussion. But it wasn’t to be . Now I keep on getting invitations to review . So there you go. Wouldn’t recommend them for lessons to anyone that doesn’t already know how to ride a motorbike or isn’t thick skinned.
Negative experience: I did my CBT a couple of days ago and the only thing I can say is the experience I had was terrible. The instructor I was assigned to was grumpy, rude and overly not helpful at all. I fell off my bike multiple times whilst learning and the responses I got were not helpful in the slightest. I was moaned at constantly when I made a mistake, as a result I was very panicked and anxious. On the road I dropped my bike and the instructor responded with “what are we gonna do with you?” And that to me was very harsh as a first timer on the road. At the end of the training I left crying and in pain, covered in bruises. I felt as though the instructor was belittling me and I learnt nothing from this.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and patient instructors. I passed my CBT last month and now cometwd my 2nd lesson, thanks to the patience and friendliness of these instructors I now have my mod 1 booked for next month. Couldn't have done it with different personalities educating me. I had never been on a bime before this.
Fantastic experience: I completed and Passed my CBT this Sunday, it was a Fantastic experience from Start to finish, the training was clear and concise, we were encouraged and learned at our own pace with no pressure from the instructor who I believe was Claudia. I can recommend these people 100%
