Alpha Motorcycle Training: Reviews

Fantastic experience: Today i passed my cbt with alpha motorcycle training. Highly recommended both instructor are really very good and helpful. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Done my CBT with alpha, couldn’t recommend a better place, my instructor diamantis was knowledgeable and straightforward he’ll teach you what you need to know whilst having a laugh too, shoutout to bjorn as well, he’s clued up and will make the theory stuff more enjoyable, good laugh as well, overall a good atmosphere and everything you could need is provided. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for anything motorcycle training related
Thank you Luke.
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my CBT course, and it was a fantastic experience! My instructor, Bjon, was absolutely brilliant. He was incredibly nice and made the lessons both detailed and fun, which really helped me feel at ease throughout the process. His teaching style was clear, engaging, and very effective—he made sure I understood everything without ever feeling overwhelmed. There was also a Greek instructor (unfortunately, I can’t recall his name), but he was equally friendly and supportive, adding to the overall positive experience. The team created a welcoming and professional atmosphere, which made the entire process enjoyable. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to take their CBT. They truly go above and beyond to ensure you feel confident and prepared. Thank you, Bjon, and the rest of the team! - Viral
Thank you Viral. The guys do try hard to put you at ease.
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT with Alpha Motorcycle Training, and it was an amazing experience! The staff was incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming, making me feel comfortable from the start. Rob, was an excellent instructor—clear in his explanations, encouraging, and with a great sense of humor, which made the day even more enjoyable. I also had the chance to work with Jason, and he was just as fantastic! His patience, kindness, and humor really helped boost my confidence. I highly recommend Alpha Motorcycle Training to anyone looking to get their motorcycle license. I’m looking forward to coming back for the big bike training! Thanks again to the whole team!
Thank you for your kind comments Ambra
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT here with almost no riding experience I can highly recommend this centre. It has been a very pleasant, funny, and educational day thanks to Diamantis that was knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you very much!
Great to hear . Thank you Skyler
Negative experience: Not recommend Instructor wasn’t helpful for beginners. Make sure you learned and practiced 100% before you come here or booked directly they probably would care differently. Don’t book ride to or 3rd party. It’s just scam. Spend 205£ only fir 10less than 10 minutes
Sir, you claimed to have riden before but within a few minutes had ignored instruction and nearly injured yourself several times. Your CBT was stopped on the grounds of safety. Your then marking us down for a third party not accepting your claim for another CBT. I will accept critisism for our actions but not someone else.
Fantastic experience: To be honest, I was quite worried about this place after reading some negative reviews, but after going and passing my CBT there today, I can happily give them 5 stars. All the instructors were really helpful and patient, and they had a great sense of humour! I would definitely reccomend this place for beginners who want to get into the world of bikes. Thank you guys
Thank you Ali. To be honest the majority of bad reviews usually are based on poor English so cannot understand instruction or arriving late and not liking being told sorry but no.
Fantastic experience: Best training course I’ve ever had all the staff are very welcoming, friendly & all like to have a laugh which is good and makes you feel more comfortable. My instructor was B S MARSH thanks for a great day mate
Thank you Marcus
Fantastic experience: I just passed my CBT at Alpha Motorcycle Training; they are a fantastic learning centre, and I would highly recommend them. The instructors are very knowledgeable, patient, and professional and guide you through the course increadibly well. A special shoutout to my instructor, Bjorn (the Legend); he epitomises professionalism and communicates information in a clear and easy way to understand.
Great to hear Mohamed. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great experience ‼️ Everything from the introduction, to the ride at the end was really enjoyable . Very friendly environment and definitely a good place to learn from experience instructors . Banter was great aswell
Thank you Jaime.
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed my experience on my cbt. My instructor was bjorn who was highly knowledgeable and was very enthusiastic about his role as an instructor. I look forward to doing my direct access In the not so distant future with alpha!
We look forward to your return Ken. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great company - simple/effective training - proper standards - only 40% passed - that kind of training saves lives
We do not just give out CBTs Andrzej, but have a standard that must be reached, but you have to put in some effort to stay safe. Well done.
Fantastic experience: Positive experience with CBT course taken today. Bjorn was my instructor, he demonstrated not only professionalism and knowledgeability but also friendliness and humor. As a complete beginner with zero prior experience, I did not expect to attain my CBT on the first day, but results speak for themselves. 10/10 would recommend again.
Thank you. CBTs are often achieved first time if the prep work is done before, like reading and understanding the Highway Code.
Fantastic experience: I had a good experience with Alpha Motorcycle Training, and I would recommend every aspiring rider to get their CBT certificate from them. I'm only reiterating what they say on their website, but I would strongly suggest the fellow riding students to not ignore the forewarnings and learn their highway code and observe how the road works before attending. If you've never driven a manual bike before, I would advise starting with introductory courses, because riding is a skill that requires practice, nobody is born with it, you must spend some time with the machine before your CBT. Big cheer to Rob, Jason & Bjorn for running these session!
Thank You Ravi, Some wise words.
Fantastic experience: Extremely happy with this training centre — very confident instructors, with good bikes and gear. I did CBT training on manual 125cc bike, was instructed by Bjorn (thank you!!) - please beware this is a challenging choice of bike for CBT, and if you are not confident after first 2 hours, instructors will likely not let you proceed on the road.
Thank You Andrey, You are right that without transferable skills from driving cars, a geared bike can be challenging, and as safety comes first experience tells us that if you cannot reach a certain level within a couple of hours you will not get a CBT the same day as it only gets harder.
Negative experience: I had a terrible experience at Alpha Motorcycle Centre. They are nothing but a scam. I was just five minutes late parking my car, and instead of showing any understanding, they refused to let me in and demanded I pay again. It’s clear they only care about money, and their attitude was unprofessional. Additionally, I felt uncomfortable with the way I was treated, which raised concerns about their values. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a fair and respectful service. If I could give 0 Stars I would by google don’t allow me to.
Ok, So lets cut to the chase. 5 Minutes? How about an hour and a half late. You were uncomfortable because you knew you were wrong. You were simply and politely told NO.
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT here at Alpha Motorcycle Training with almost no riding experience at all and highly recommend this centre. It has been a very pleasant, funny, and educational day thanks to the trainers Bjorn and Rick that were knowledgeable and friendly. Very pleasant day, thank you guys!
Great to hear Giovanni
Fantastic experience: Completed my DAS course with Alpha and can't recommend them enough!! Went into this journey with no previous riding experience and completed my manual CBT with Bjorn. Great day and training which gave me loads of confidence to progress to DAS. Returned ASAP for MOD1 Training & Test and MOD2 Training & Test. Spent most of my bike time with Jason and he is a brilliant instructor. Tells you everything you need to know and more and teaches at a level far beyond the minimum test standard - making you a better and safer rider!! If you want to learn how to be a motorcyclist, this is the school to go to. Can't wait to go back for the occasional visit and to get more wisdom and tips. Special shout out to Rob and Martin too! All round great team at Alpha!
Thank you Anton. Safe riding. Always welcome to call in for a cuppa.
Fantastic experience: Great instructors. So much so that I completed my cbt first try (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Jason was critical and made sure I made sure I made it back in one piece. Bjorn was the nice version of Jason. Rob was there, I think. Oh, also big blue bike had cryo technology that puts out fires so incase of an emergency or fire make sure to leave it behind. Picture of the bike below. Hard to mistake. Make sure to push the red bike out incase of a fire or you'll answer to Bjorn.
Thanks Bedir, luckily 10 years and no fires.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of attending my CBT test today, and I must say, my instructor (S marsh) was exceptional. Not only did he teach me thoroughly, but his engaging and humorous approach made the entire experience enjoyable. Thanks to his guidance, I now feel both confident and well-prepared to ride on the road, and I am pleased to say that I successfully passed my CBT. I look forward to returning to Alpha Training to pursue my A2 license. Thank you for the outstanding service and support – you are truly an amazing team!
Thank You Niraj, when your ready, we are to get that A2
Fantastic experience: Staff is professional and helpful. Since I started riding this is the only place i do my CBT at. Bjorn is one of the best instructors, explains and demonstrates everything and makes sure you understand everything. I recommend Alpha Motorcycle Training for anyone who wants a CBT.
Thank you Pali
Fantastic experience: Dear [ instructor Bjorn ]. 1st of all thank you so much for given me support and you did help whole day. this guy is very friendly person. he talk like friend and he do lots of jokes and teaching skill is very good. i enjoyed whole day for him. I'm Lucky person for i learned everything from bjorn. Thank you once again for all the support and direction you have provided.
And thank you Rahman
Fantastic experience: Super super happy with my choice to do my CBT here. Bjorn was patient, helpful, clear, and good crack- we made it through the training successfully and with lots of laughs along the way! You can tell that the instructors here are rooting for you and do their best to make sure you feel comfortable and confident. Definitely worth the travel there!
Great to see you had a good time Katy
Negative experience: go there only if you’re English that’s will be easy training , so if you not English they want to see you as professional not training .
95% of our clients have English as a second language. Most pass the CBT. We do have to follow DVSA requirements of conversational English, and I suspect from your comments which make no sense that may be the issue.
Fantastic experience: Great team ! I did my CBT with these guys today and they made sure we had every chance to get it and be safe on the road. Great atmosphere, friendly instructors and excellent service. Want to get your CBT, have a good time, learn to ride and be safe? Book with Alpha!
Thanks Charly
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the service provided. I was able to complete my CBT training in safe measures with a very thoughtful and patient instructor named Bjorn. Satisfied overall.
Thank you Ghislain, riding safely is the whole point of a CBT.
Fantastic experience: Went here for my CBT renewal and found the staff really friendly and informative! Even though I used my own bike I noticed that the bikes were really good quality and maintenance compared to other schools I’ve been two. They also had great clothing to lend on the day, was a cold rainy day and the jacket I borrowed kept me warm and dry. You even have a Jacks Teller look alike Highly recommend them and will be back to use them for the full license.
Thank you Anastasio, you forgot the Jason Stathams dad.
Fantastic experience: Great instructors, come prepared with all the right documents and clothing and the CBT course is a breeze. Only complaint is £15 for parking but this is charged by the owner of the business estate, not AMT.
Thanks Harshil, Yes parking is out of our hands. Great point about clothing and documents.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience doing my CBT with Alpha! I am naturally an overthinker and was quite apprehensive about the day. It ended up being a fun day that built my confidence - the instructors were really friendly, patient and good at teaching. Bjorn was an especially excellent instructor and it made all the difference truly. I will absolutely be going back to Alpha to continue my riding journey and to get my full license. Thanks guys!
We look forward to your return Hannah
Fantastic experience: Thank you Diamantis and Bjorn for the theory training of my CBT today, and from Diamantis the practical. It was a very challenging, but fun day today. I got great support and I didn't feel pressure, just helpful advices. I will be happy to come back for my full licence and not forget about my promise Happy to recommend them.
Thank you Bernadett, we look forward to your return.
Fantastic experience: After doing my first CBT here 2 years ago, done with no worries due to great training, i have passed again. All the instructors are incredibly patient, and have good tips to hand out from a lifetime of riding. I was given the pleasure of having Bjorn as my instructor, and I could not have wished for a better training experience. Even though I have been riding consistently for 2 years, I learned new things about safety and general riding advice, that will help me for years to come and on my next licenses (which will most definitely be done with alpha). I cannot recommend these guys enough, they have no 'bad' instructors and they will make the day(s) worth your money. Hope to see them again soon. Regarding the bad reviews, these are mostly people that have not read the instructions clearly labelled on the confirmation email and website, and as a result have failed. If you are willing to spend £200 and not make sure you give yourself the best chance to pass, you should not take it out on the instructors or on the business. I understand the frustration behind losing the money, I myself left my license at home and was obviously turned away, a white British male, so I'm not convinced by comments of racism or prejudice. These guys are professional, they do not make exceptions for lack of preparation, and you are warned of this before booking. If you want a cbt done properly, do it with these guys.
Thank you Stefan. We treat everyone the same, but do require punctuality, the right documents, and for students to know the Highway Code.
Negative experience: If you don't want to waste your money, don't go there. I had a very bad experience with them. All schools don't have time until the next month, but in this school you can book for tomorrow because they don't have customers and only Unaware people like me choose there. They appear more interested in profiting by forcing retakes and additional fees. They take your money and then reject you.
We had space as we have a number of instructors. Of couse because you did not get a CBT it is our fault. Nothing to do with you.
Negative experience: If I could leave 1 star I would absolute shambles how they can call it training is beyond me it’s just a ticket to extort money from young boys then bully them and shout at them repeatedly making the instructions impossible to understand
Alison, would you please contact me directly. I need to understand which instructor is involved. Either 0203 544 4433 or email me [email protected] . This was not your booking so I need direct feedfeedback.
Fantastic experience: Dear Bjorn, Jason and Rob. Thank you for being the best instructors ever. Made me laugh alot which eased my nerves during my CBT that i did last wednesday. (passed first time). Perfect pricing and perfect instructors that genuinely care about your safety and want you to pass. Forgot to put a review in last wednesday so i will do it now. I highly reccomend everyone to go through alpha motercycles for your cbts/full licenses as they are most reliable and are perfect. Bjorn has a magic spell which eases your nerves. Rob and Jason makes you laugh alot which also helped me learn aswell as getting comfortable with my CBT. They made me feel as though i was part of a family instead of just instructors. Clear and thorough instructions on how to ride and lovely delivery of education. Honestly , I do not regret a thing and i thank you all for helping me pass first time. I will defo book a full license in a future and go through you guys!!! Kind regards, Mergim
Thank you Mergim, its amazing what uou can do if you lose the nerves which is where humour comes in.
Negative experience: Instructor are very bad. Very bad behaviour and attitude. They not even teach you in good manners. Moped use for training are very bad and old models.
Al i am going to say is bikes are under 4 years old, most under 2. All regularly serviced. The rest of your comments I think are wrong, but thank you anyway.
Negative experience: Highly disappointed with the instructor and the experience. I signed up to do the manual CBT and my instructor Martin failed me after I fell off the bike during the emergency braking. While I fully agree that it is a valid reason to not take somebody on the road, the instructor and school never should have recommend a beginner to go on a manual bike and instead go on a automatic bike for their first time in order to make sure they pass their CBT and avoid me paying another 200£ which I sadly do not have. To be perfectly honest, Martin was extremely rude from beginning to end, did not even asked if I was okay after falling off the bike, told me “I was lucky not to be charged for damages” as there was very little” even though I paid an extra 10£ on site for the damage waiver. When I suggested to Martin that the school should be kinder in advising beginners to start with the automatic, he rudely said it was my responsibility to inform myself better. I expected better from them and will now be booking through a different school of course. It is worth noting Martin failed the other person on a manual bike and another rider on the automatic discreetly said to me Martin was a terrible instructor and I should be booking with another school, even before I fell off the bike. Rob seemed like a much kinder and better instructor looking to actually teach his pupils.
Gaston, as Martin corectly stopped your CBT as per DVSA regulations, I don't think that there is anything he could do that you would make you happy. We had 16 students that day, 14 passed. If you cannot understand that riding a manual bike is harder than an auto, and have no transferable skills. Whenever we have suggested changing bikes before a course starts its always met with resistance, so we can't win.
Fantastic experience: I just finished the CBT course with Diamantis as my instructor yesterday. Fantastic experience from start to finish, and I must especially acknowledge him for his amazing sense of humour, which contributed to the atmosphere being more welcoming. I highly recommend this location if you're looking to complete your CBT because of their excellent accessibility and availability.
Thank you Yash
Fantastic experience: I did the full whack with Alpha over the course of a couple of months - CBT, Gear Conversion, Mod 1 Training, Mod 1 Test, Mod 2 Training, and Mod 2 Test. Happy to say I passed everything first time and now have my full, unrestricted A license! I only have good things to say about Alpha - it's expensive, but absolutely worth it. I worked with both Rob (Gear Conversion & Mod 1) and Jason (Mod 2) and both were excellent instructors. Really patient, kind, funny, and generally just good guys. Because of their teaching I went into both my tests feeling really confident despite only learning to ride a manual bike a few days before. I haven't experienced any other motorcycle schools but would absolutely recommend learning at Alpha!
Thank you Toby.
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT training at alpha motorcycle training and it was a great experience. The trainer marsh is an awesome trainer.
Thank you Vipul
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Diamantis I passed my CBT today, he provided clear communication and a professional approach to getting me ready to get back on the road. I recommend getting your CBTs done at this place
Thank you Markus
Negative experience: I am extremely disappointed with the way this institution operates. It seems their primary aim is to fail students for trivial reasons, without providing clear or justified explanations. Rather than supporting students in their learning journey, they appear more interested in profiting by forcing retakes and additional fees. The lack of fairness and transparency in their approach is deeply concerning, and it feels like they are more focused on taking your money than providing quality education. I would not recommend this institution to anyone serious about their academic progress."
Ok , call out time! Call me, 0203 544 4433 Please. I have checked all the Chintan Patels on my system and the last one was here over 9 months ago, and according to your own reviews you had a CBT a year ago in Eltham, so Sir I do not think this a true review and is a fake review.
Fantastic experience: many thanks to Rob and the team, very very lovely and friendly people, most patient and very understanding. Super helpful with everyone, super inclusive and a very great experience overall, i fully recommend this place wether youre a full beginner or experienced. 10/10
Thank you iuli, the guys do try hard.
Fantastic experience: Bjorn is a great instructor, approachable and engaging throughout the day. Made the whole process a lot of fun and would 100% be recommending him and Alpha Motorcycle training, Wembley to everyone.
Thank you James
Fantastic experience: Our instructors, Bjorn and Rob were so friendly and not afraid to crack some jokes. Sure you’re here to get a qualification but is really just a fun experience. Would highly recommend Alpha MCT in Near East Lane!
Thank you Sarmad
Fantastic experience: Was really great. Bjorn and Jason were super funny and friendly which made the whole experience so much more relaxed and plenty of practice so you’re comfortable on the road.
Great to hear Amar, thank you
Fantastic experience: Great training, super attentive instructor. Guided me through everything, even though it was my first time. Diamantis was really incredible, I highly recommend!!!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: So amazing , my instructor Diamantis was so good, now I feel confident on the road , thank you
Thanks Midi
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructions, Deamntis was clear and considerate and friendly. Rob was also good. Top ratings
Thank you Bakka
Negative experience: One of the worst training centre I suggest not to book with this alpha motorcycle training. They are here to just loot our money and bluff us. And trainer(instructor) over there is not professional. And they show partiality based on colour. I won't say it's racism. But these guys are worst
So you did not pass the CBT, and you blame us. Nothing to do with your not knowing the highway code? As far as colour, goes stop! Most of our custiomers are of ethnic origin. You just lost the argument.
Fantastic experience: D was a great instructor, very friendly. 10/10 service
Thank you Amari
Fantastic experience: Best school ever I was very happy to done my cpt test 2 times in this school and going soon to do full licence They made easy for me
We welcome you to take the next steps my friend.
Negative experience: People there are quite friendly, they are happy to answer any questions and help you. However I think there're quite a few aspects to improve. I tried to get my CBT there, I failed twice. First time they told me to come again after just 1-1.5 hour of riding, I thought that's fair and next time I'd get more time on a bike. When I came second time I only got 1 hour off-road and 1 hour on-road riding. Every student who was new to motorbiking failed their CBT as well this day. I tried doing CBT in a different school and did 4-5 hours of riding first day, which is kind of obvious that a person who is new to motorcycles simply needs a bit more time on a bike. Not sure about DAS courses in this school, they might be conducted in a different way
So you did not complete the first time, because you took a long time to get slow speed control, but then could not complete the controlled stop, or E stop. You returned and on the road you would not get up to speed, cancel indicator and very hesitant at pulling away. This is all confidence, which you gained with us, just not fast enough.
Negative experience: Very bad experience. Unfriendly staff. I booked my CBT test and it got cancelled by the instructor on the spot as they require very extensive English skills
We do not ask for extensive skills. Conversational English. But when you cannot identify your right arm, need to use google translate, then how on earth can we teach you.
Positive experience: Mixed thoughts , its my second time here. From my experience it was good both times, however I would not recommend this centre to anyone who has English as their second language as the instructors and incredibly impatient. Many guys could speak English perfectly but might need you to repeat what you say but instructors would just shout at these guys unfortunately. Rob however was perfect, if you are going to do anything there I recommend you only do it with Rob. Also the toilet facilities is shocking it is a disgusting port aloo , they have no real toilet only a port aloo and it smells really really bad. This centre could easily be so much better but the facilities are messy and neglected as well as instructors being impatient .
Lara, thank you for your comments. I find your comments regarding the instructors being impatient disturbing, and will nvestigate further although I have to say the number of comments saying otherwise led me to believe that that was not an issue. Regarding Portaloos, there were two. One behind the other. The first definately had seen better days, but the one behind was immaculate and fresh. Were you not directed there? The first one has now been replaced, in no short way due to your coments, so I thank you.
Fantastic experience: Thankyou Rob and Jason and the rest of the team at alpha, you all are so helpful and welcoming, I did my CBT here a year ago which was a good experience and now you have helped me pass my full licence, I am very happy!
Well done Tayla
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT here, and a year later, I passed everything on the first try to get my full license. I just want to say a big thank you to my instructor, Jase! I really enjoyed our lessons and got tons of great advice that still helps me today. I've been enjoying my license and driving for almost two years now, and I haven’t had any issues on the road, all thanks to Jase. To anyone reading this, I highly recommend this school—you won’t regret it! Alpha team, wishing you all the best!
Thank you Junior. Stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Did my cbt test recently at alpha motorcycle, I originally picked this training school because it was the number 1 rated training school on the website which I understanding now why. The instructors are super friendly and patient with you, instructor bjorn is a very funny guy, he knows how to make you laugh and makes the lesson enjoyable. I enjoyed training at alpha motorcycle training, I wish could come here everyday and I wish that the course did last a little bit longer as the course for me ended quite early and I really enjoyed it but other than that the course was very fun and would definitely recommend to other people to come here.
Thank you Itz.
Fantastic experience: All the staff here are class but Bjorn in particular is an absolute legend. Made the whole process smooth and enjoyable and you can tell he has a real passion for his job. I have done my CBT three times now but I still learned some really valuable and practical skills. Huge thanks and recommend everyone to give this place a go!
Thanks Jason, we all still learn even after nore than 40 years on the bike, which makes it fun
Fantastic experience: 5 stars for this place!! Booked a cbt test and rob thourougly explained the process from teaching us how to operate the motorbike to actually driving one. He gave me maximum confidence as we was on the roads and I couldn't thank him enough! Thank you so much rob for passing me❤️
super and thank you Kamil
Fantastic experience: If you need wise, patient and friendly instructors this is the place! I just had my 3rd CBT (I hope the last one) and I left the school training very satisfied with the professionalism of the team. Thank you Rob and the Dionisio (I hope I don’t mistake the greek) Apart of the rainy day everything went nice and smooth. I totally recommend ✨☀️
Thank you Carolina, now get that full licence.
Fantastic experience: I want to say that Alpha MCT are the most articulate and fair team in London so far, well…. In North west and North area, not sure cuh I haven’t went the other site. The gear and the Motorcycles are the best quality you’ll get (probably) The centre also offers you tea and coffee before the training and after the training. The Highway Code tests are easy however they won’t go back if you forgot or misheard something. Especially the humour of the team, very hilarious jokes and fun to learn with. Thank you Pray-mantis and Robie-da-nob for teaching us how to ride like a real cowboy. PS: To the Owner. please smile , nice bike nice hair cut but not a nice facial expression.
Thank you. His face is fixed that way. Its the Botox.
Fantastic experience: My CBT test was a fantastic experience. The examiner was incredibly friendly and made everything easy to understand. They patiently explained emergency braking, traffic control in busy areas, roundabouts, traffic signals, road signs, and essential bike safety gear. It wasn't just theory; their practical approach made a huge difference. I learned so much before even hitting the road. Thank you for explaining things and making it very simple.
Thank you Teekaram
Fantastic experience: Before I went to do my CBT, I checked the reviews and saw that some people were saying the instruction wasn’t good and that they would fail you for no reason. I got stressed before going there. Anyway, I went today, and the instructor (Bjorn, I hope I wrote his name correctly, with long brown hair) taught everyone from A to Z and spent time in the 30-degree sunshine to teach everyone properly. I got my CBT today and realized some reviews were fake and untrue. I am going to take more courses and be ready to get my full driving license with them. I recommend you guys take CBT with Bjorn, the long brown-haired guy.
Thank you Milad. Unfortunately some people cannot accept responsibility for their own actions or failure to prepare and simply blame us. We try hard to teach everyone but not everyone gets it.
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT today with rob and Jason , completely new to roads and motorcycles , rob helped me and made me feel confident , told me where I want wrong and corrected it , couldn’t find better trainers , 5 stars - Taha
Thank you Taha
Fantastic experience: My own fault for forgetting the name of my instructor but Dee was very clear and precise with his instructions which helped me pass first time. Thank you to the whole team as well for the hospitality
Diamantis, and thank you
Fantastic experience: These guys are fantastic! They really know there stuff and have a great approach to teaching. If you're looking to do your CBT or in my case a motorbike A2 refresh I really recommend them.
Thanks Tom
Fantastic experience: Great experience from the team there, especially Rob and Jason. Really friendly and patient, very knowledgable and encouraging people to learn from. Would happily return
Thank you Sheng
Negative experience: Would not recommend for a new rider. Go to a school that has a track record of more patience and enthiasm to work with new riders. My experience (and others that were attending the same course) was they will not spend much time with you on the bike before sending you home, saying you failed and need more time. Course started at 7:30am (loads of faffing about at the start of the day, even more throughout the morning), I was in the car going home at 10:30am with only an hour of the day allowed on the bike doing basic manouvres. I didn't expect to come in and walk away with a pass but I did expect more supportive trainers, and more of an opportunity to learn. The other guy I was training with was the same, unfortunately his second time through. I accept that neither of us were ready or safe enough to go on the road but instead of spending a bit of more time working with us for the session (that otherwise would have been on the road) to at least get something out of the day they sent us home. Left a very sour taste for someone who went into this enthusiastic to learn and excited about starting a motorcycle training journey. Update: didn't expect an honest response to the review, definitely was no where near 2 hours and if you read my review you would see the critic wasn't about being road ready. I have GPS data that can show the timelines. My advice, either offer a service or don't. Don't exploit new riders for a cash grab. I've chosen another school to continue training and will probably end up spending thousands with them whilst I pursue my lisence instead.
Sir, I have checked reports, and interviewed all staff. apart from your timings being inaccurate, unfortunately the progress you were making was negligable. After 2 hours on the pad, it was clear that you needed additional help and that there was no way that you would proceed to the road the same day.
Fantastic experience: What a fantastic team, made to feel very relaxed and comfortable, just done my CBT but will definitely look to go back to Alpha and do my DAS once gained more experience. Thanks for a fun day
Thank you Ben
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend alpha motorcycle training! The instructors are great and very patient. By the end of the day I felt confident riding a motorbike having 0 experience before coming. Bjorn helped me prepare for the road and when doing the road part of the test made sure I was safe and learning. Make sure to come here!!!
great to hear Jake
Fantastic experience: I'm a bit late since my CBT was on 11/07/24 but I would like to just say a massive thank you to Rob and Bjorn for being the most wonderful and knowledgeable instructors. Also thank you to Bjorn for being extremely patient and accommodating to me during the CBT and ITM lessons as I get anxious very quickly so the constant reassurance even on the road ride helped me a lot. Soon you will be seeing me at Ace Cafe with my own bike so once again a massive thank you. P.S Sorry Rob but Kawasaki are just better.
Thank you Wiktoria
Fantastic experience: Very professional, resourceful and friendly instructors/business overall. There's a fair bit of banter with the instructors which allows you to be comfortable and conversate which puts your nerves at ease especially if it's your 1st time riding. My instructor was Bjorn, very friendly, knowledgeable and patient instructor who took his time making sure every learner was comfortable and confident riding a bike before going out on the road. Sorry it took so long to write the review Bjorn, but i appreciate all your help that day. R. Johnson (copland vs alperton)
thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: It was one of my best experience here in alpha motorcycle training., Rob and Jason train me really well and I would like to thanks them ., much appreciated.. they deserve a raise
Thanks for the review, but a raise? They would need new helmets.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service, first of all they offer you all kind of protectice gear from jackets to boots which is not common. Then, instructors Diamantis and Bjorn were superb. Fun lads which made the time fly by, during our riding on the open road we did even get to do a pit stop for about 10 mins to grab a coffee and shelter from the rain for a bit. 10/10 experience, deffo recomended.
Thank you David, for your review. For the record we do not supply jeans.
Fantastic experience: I passed my CBT in alpha motorcycle training it's was very good from the welcoming to signing my CBT after I passed it successfully with the knowledge and skills of monitor was easy to learn about what on the roads I suggest it to anyone
Thank you Ali
Negative experience: This is one of the racist centre I have seen in my all life I had test today and he was asking me to tell him the road codes. I was here for Cbt not for giving for truck test. I am not even giving them 1 star but you have 1 so can write.
It is not racist to ask you some road signs. They save your life. If you actually understood racist you would not be so flippant with your use of the term.
Fantastic experience: To the entire team, but especially to Jason, Thank you for your professionalism and for making everything so much fun and easy. I know I don't need to visit again as I passed the first time, but I do suggest and recommend anyone to use Alpha. Moishe
Thank you Moishe
Fantastic experience: It was a nice experience with ALPHA MOTORCYCLE TRAINING. My instructor BJORN was an excellent trainer make it very easy to understand everything about motorcycle and very friendly….i just passed my CBT ON 02/07/2024 .I really recommend to ALPHA MOTORCYCLE WEMBLEY and I will do my next A full license very soon from them….thanks a lot BJORN…you was excellent.
Thank you Si
Fantastic experience: Had a very good day passing my cbt with Diamantis very good instructor Proffessional service all round , not just a course but a very fun day..
Thank you Sinz
Fantastic experience: Great experiences. Staffs are very professional and extremely helpful. I can’t thank enough Mr. Rob Collins for his support.
Thank you mohammud
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended training company, top class instructors and created a brilliant atmosphere to learn. Big thankyou to Rob, Bjorn and Jason for all the time and effort today.
Thanks Charley
Fantastic experience: Honestly a really good experience far better than others I’ve been too so friendly and welcoming done my cbt really fast and things was explained well. I had the wrong Jeans on and they allowed me to have 40 extra minutes to get the right pair I really appreciated that also the instructor I had bjorn was such a nice person really understanding and charismatic you should be looking forward if you are learning with him .
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have completed my CBT today where I passed and I couldn't of been happier with my experience my instructor Bjorn made all the task and instructions extremely clear and I couldn't of asked for a better instructor a genuine sound guy. I recommend this place highly.
Thanks Alfie
Negative experience: Here is my honest opinion. If someone from Alpha Motorcycle Training responds to this, saying this is a fake review, it’s not. I’d be careful of this place. My trainer was bjorn. He was a chill guy, honestly pretty cool. Helped out. There were 4 trainees. 3 on manual and 1 on automatic. Out of the 3 manual riders, 1 came in on his own bike, the other had never touched a bike, just like me. During our off-road training, the trainee who never been on a manual, crashed(he ended up ok) We stopped the off-road training for 15 mins or so. Bjorn came back. Trained us, Gave us extra time for the exercises and then took us back to the centre. He pulled me aside, told me that he cannot pass me. He said the same for the other manual rider there. The reason was because there wasn’t enough time. That’s what I was told. I asked if he can rebook me, he apologised and said it’s out of his hands. Props to him cuz he said I turned out to be the best manual rider there. He said I should stick with manual. Oh and that automatic rider? It was his second time doing his CBT so apparently he didn’t need to complete all the off-road training exercises because he failed the Highway Code section the first time. That’s what I was told. I emailed the company, asking for a rebooking as compensation since there wasn’t enough time, I got told “Although you and the other rider were making progress, it was slow and the additional time required to possibly get you road ready, please note possibly, was too long, and it was felt that you would be too tired to continue so you would still not achieve a CBT. You did not complete every exercise, and did not show us that confidence, hence the decision stands.“ Now when I was talking to my instructor, he said the only reason I didn’t pass was because of time restraints. Didn’t mention nothin bout safety concerns or not enough progress made. The dude who was emailing me, did not want me to pass unless I paid another £195 that much was clear. The training started at 10:30PM and ended by 2:30PM. I’ve been trying to have them understand my perspective and why I should get a rebooking or a refund but nope. Even RideTo is the same. The guy I was talking to through emails said he’ll give me a “£20 voucher”. If you still feel like you wanna go here, I hope you aren’t as unlucky as me. My suggestion? 1. Don’t book nothing through RideTo. 2. Don’t risk it, don’t go to Alpha Training Motorcycle. bjorn was cool. (Edit for reply: with all due respect simply, understand that the circumstances were not the greatest, understand that, what I’m telling you is I Was Not Told That I Didn’t Make Enough Progress and understand that this time you guys were wrong but you don’t seem to understand cuz apparently the customer is wrong this time. Take the L, understand the criticism and do better next time. Stop excuses for your failures. I ain’t making excuses here, I’m telling them what actually happened. The point of a review is to tell others what happened and not make excuses. Do better.)
Sir, I know this is not fake as I carried out at your request a full review, checking all paperwork and interviewing the instructors. I emailed you with my findings and completed a full report to Rideto. What you do not seem to grasp is that although you made progress, it was at a very slow pace. You needed at least another two hours practice and even then we could not be sure that you would be proficient to ride on the road. The instructor made a decision, that you would not be ready, and it would be undfair on the other students to sit a wait for you with no end result. Simply accept that you needed more training and trying to blame everyone else. We all learn at different speeds and you simply needed more time.
Fantastic experience: I really can't thank these guys enough for helping me through right from my CBT to my MOD 2 which I passed today. They are really helpful and very professional. They provided me with constant encouragement even when I didn't believe in myself. I would highly recommend doing your DAS or CBT here. Thank you Jason, Rob and Martin.
Thank you Tracy
Fantastic experience: Thanks to my instructor DIAMANTIS .He explained everything clearly and was patient when I made mistakes which helped build my confidence. The learning pace was ideal for me. Overall I can't recommend DIAMANTIS and ALPHAMCT enough! Thank you DIAMANTIS Yasser
Thank you Yasser
Fantastic experience: Dear [ instructor Bjorn ], I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your dedication and efforts during the inspection of my motorcycle. Your precision and professionalism have given me confidence in the safety and optimal performance of my bike. Your valuable advice and guidance have been extremely helpful, enabling me to understand important aspects of motorcycle maintenance and performance. Your attention to detail and commitment to providing the best service made my experience with you exceptional. Thank you once again for all the support and direction you have provided. I look forward to working with you in the future and highly recommend your services to anyone seeking a professional and reliable examiner. Best regards, [ Ali ]
Thank you Ali
Fantastic experience: Just passed both mod 1 & 2 for my full a license & i have to say im very pleased to have done it with alpha. Special shout out to my instructor jason, made sure i was 100% ready for this exam and his style of teaching is by far the best in this game! Appreciate the whole staff for what they have done ! Thank you guys
Thanks Zion
Fantastic experience: This guys are superstars! Jason, the instructor is incredibly prepared and professional, if you follow his instructions is very likely you get the license. I said this after changing 2 different driving school from east to west London and 4 test fail. Finally, thanks to them I’ve got my license. I highly recommend it!
Thanks Massimo, long journey but worth it in the end.
Negative experience: Please be aware that this testing center has a history of failing candidates regardless of their they can ride. The instructors are unprofessional and their equipment is often faulty, and they tend to blame the candidates for any issues that arise. I would strongly advise against using this testing center.
This is not an actual review. It is the fantasy work of a nasty vicious troll, who makes multiple accounts at the same time and pretends to be our client. This has been referred for investigation to Google to refer to the IP address of this account and many more. This is a either a competitor or someone who really needs to get a life.
Negative experience: Please alert to all don't use this test centre. why they always have booking avilable because they fail you regardless you do as much good. I would say red flag for all new cbt test people don't use this centre They are making money by faling you again and again .

Fantastic experience: I recently attended a motorbike training course at Alpha and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making sure each student felt comfortable and confident on the bike. Their teaching methods were clear and effective, breaking down complex maneuvers into easy-to-understand steps. They provided personalized feedback and tailored their instruction to meet individual needs, which greatly accelerated my learning process. The overall environment was supportive and encouraging. I highly recommend Alpha to anyone looking to learn or improve their motorbike skills.
Thank you Sebastjan
Fantastic experience: Done my CBT through to full bike license with these guys and were brilliant every step of the way. They tell you exactly what you need and don’t try to squeeze more time/money out of you. Was a pleasure doing it with them. Definitely recommend.
Thank you Steven
Fantastic experience: I passed my cbt with alpha last Sunday and from minute 1 they were brilliant and very professional, i never rode a moped prior to my test but once i was out on the road for my test it was like i rid for years because of the brilliant training they did with me one on one prior to hitting the road. All the team was fantastic to educate me on the highway code also. You will 100% pass if you take the course seriously and listen to the instructors instructions , if you are tired or not willing to learn and not do as what the instructors tell you to do then this training wont be suitable for you.
Thanks for the review Abdul, your points are really valid, we are here to teach, but you must be willing to listen.
Fantastic experience: I would like to give a big shout out to Rob, best instructor, very patient and keen to explain, makes the learning fun. For sure I will come back in the future to do my Full Driving License.
Great to hear Leonardo
Fantastic experience: I had a two hour ITM training with Rob and it was a great experience. All the necessary protective gear was provided by the school and every staff member made me feel welcomed, no matter my abilities and prior experience. It was my first time ever on a bike, Honda cb125f to be specific, and I found it quite challenging, but my instructor was very patient and friendly, while very experienced and knowledgeable at the same time. He also gave me some good advices for the next steps in my motorcycling journey.
Thank you anna
Negative experience: Admittedly, I didn't deserve a pass. However, being told that you're going to get yourself and your instructor killed while you're trying your best to regain your composure at a roundabout doesn't seem like the best approach to training. Whenever I'd make a mistake, I could just hear "What are you doing?" in my ear piece. Not once was I reassured or told to take my time. I left today feeling a lot worse that I have previously, even though I have come for multiple lessons at this place, and wasn't even taken out on the road on those previous occasions. Although I am still very keen to continue training and don't want to give up, I don't feel like I can continue in this sort of environment.
Alan, we are sorry you feel that way. Your progress had been slow but progressive. However please put yourself in the insructors position. What you did was extremely dangerous. Had you been injured how do you think he would have felt as he is responsible for you. Maybe more should have been said after the fact but we are all human and make mistakes, but we are sincerely sorry if we upset you.
Fantastic experience: Great experience at this facility had great fun and Bjorn was a fantastic instructor helped me a lot through the whole day which allowed me to pass, highly recommend doing your CBT here 10/10!
Thank you Issa
Fantastic experience: Hello, my name is Rishi and my experience at alpha motorcycle was absolutely awesome. Bjorn was my instructor. He was absolutely a great person. He is a jolly person. He was telling every single instructions properly. I am happy that he was my instructor. Guys, if you are going to alpha motorcycle. Please, i am recommending this man(instructor) “bjorn”. Thank you bjorn
Thank you Rishi
