Phoenix Motorcycle Training Bognor Regis: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Mark is amazing. He’s incredibly supportive and puts you totally at ease. I was super anxious but I passed my cbt today on my second try
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience. The instructor was patient and kind, even when I was clearly struggling. They explained everything we needed to know, we practised on the training ground and then went on the road for the test. The instructor stayed calm the whole time and helped us relax and not feel stressed. We were offered tea and had a nice chat. I highly recommend it
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructors. 5* experience and very understanding!
Negative experience: This school is a joke.. My CBT lasted only 2 hours because my instructor was clearly cold and wanted to finish as soon as possible! Instead of focusing on learning, he focused on checking the weather every few moments. Instead of teaching me, he demanded that I do everything correctly right away! Even though it was my first time riding! Additionally, he stressed me out and told me that it was clearly not for me! During a short break, he called the woman from the office to tell her how my driving was awful, because he wanted to be covered for failing me... and 10 minutes later he told me to come back another time after I practiced riding a bike. Pathetic. Such a person should not be teaching people at all! I understand that it is winter, the dead period, so the company wants to make money, but this move was mega weak! Basic training is not an exam! Luckily, I found another school, I passed the first time with a professional instructor who focused on teaching me to ride and not getting home faster! I do not recommend this school to anyone...!
We’re sorry to hear that you had a negative experience during your CBT with us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We understand it’s frustrating to have a lesson cut short and that you felt unsupported.
The decision to conclude your training early was made entirely with your safety in mind. The conditions on the day were challenging, with temperatures around 4 degrees. You were visibly cold and shivering, while our instructor was wearing a full heated kit. Cold limbs and extremities can significantly impact focus and bike control.
Our instructor noted your difficulty mastering essential scooter control skills, particularly looking up and ahead, this is to be expected when students have no prior cycling or two-wheeled balance experience. There were instances of simultaneous hard braking and acceleration. These factors combined created a situation where continuing the training posed a significant safety risk to yourself and potentially others.
While we understand your disappointment, a CBT is not simply about time spent; it's about ensuring a basic level of competence for your and others’ safety on the road. Our instructor's recommendation to gain some experience on a bicycle or electric scooter was intended to build your foundational balance and control skills in a less demanding environment. This would support your return to motorcycle training and obtaining your CBT certificate. We genuinely want all our students to succeed and feel confident and safe when riding.
We’re pleased you found another school suited to your learning style and that you have since achieved your CBT - congratulations! We wish you all the best in your future riding endeavors and we will review your comments internally to see if there are any ways we can further improve our communication and processes, especially when dealing with students who have no prior cycling experience.
Negative experience: Was a horrible experience, four of us on one tiny car park, instructors acted like Drill Sargents, no positivity at all, no patience, really need to be instructed on how to be good instructors, entire thing felt rushed and like a test rather than a training. Entire thing was bad, nasty vibes, put me off all together. I was on geared motorbike and they made me feel incapable to pursuit this further. There was a young guy on a moped who they also failed for the second time which I found bizarre, they asked me to come back for a “discounted price” so I went to a closer training center of a different company a few months later, passed CBT, now got motorbike and having the time of my life, the teaching styles of these guys and the one I did recently were like night and day, they shouldn’t be instructors if they don’t enjoy it and should just stick to riding while doing a different job. I have no idea why they have so many good reviews. I recommend going anywhere else to get your CBT, I’m certainly glad I didn’t go back to them, now I’m riding with confidence and safely, no thanks to them.
