Our comment from DrivingSchoolsTOP.co.uk about Hastings & Bexhill District Motorcycle Training Scheme:

Hastings & Bexhill District Motorcycle Training Scheme is known for its mix of strong and weak points according to user reviews. On the positive side, many users have praised the patience and friendliness of instructors like Claudia, Phil, and Trevor, noting that they contribute significantly to a positive learning environment. Customers have reported that training is clear, concise, and tailored to individual needs, leading to successful completion of their Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) and full motorcycle license tests.

Specifically, the instructors have been described as supportive and encouraging, with several clients expressing their gratitude for the instructors' guidance, noting that they felt comfortable and confident throughout their training.

On the other hand, some users have had negative experiences, particularly with the teaching methods of certain instructors. Complaints include instructors being unhelpful, rude, and overly critical, which has led to feelings of panic and anxiety among some students. In particular, one reviewer mentioned that an instructor was dismissive and more focused on the bike than the student's well-being.

Despite the mixed feedback, many users still highly recommend HBDMTS for those looking to learn to ride in a supportive setting, expressing confidence in the instructors who help newcomers navigate the challenges of motorcycling.

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%
