Bob Seys 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: After 40 years off a bike I thought it prudent to get a second opinion on my level of riding before my direct access tests. I can honestly say that the tips, advice and pointers from 2 Robs and Mark were invaluable, as well as being decent down to earth blokes. The bikes provided for training and test days were easy to handle and just the right size for the job. Many thanks to Suffolk Rider Trainings office for juggling thngs to accommodate my already booked test dates. All of your help has been very much appreciated. 1st time passes for both Mod 1 and 2. Can't ask for better than that. Thank you. Bob Seys

Andrew PalmerRussell 11 months ago

Negative experience: Here is my experience. I did my CBT training on a "twist n go." I later decided to do further training to obtain my full license. I did the Big Bike upgrade earlier in the year and on that day it was very heavy torrential rain throughout the whole lesson. Visibility was very poor and it really was not conducive to learning. Neither Suffolk Rider Training admin or the instructor postponed the lesson. It was a complete waste of my time and money. As a result I continued to have confusion over gear changes and how to brake properly. I kid you not, and this was a result of that so called lesson. I did my MOD 1 training (and these things were still in evidence). I then paid for another lesson before taking my MOD 2 which i failed for "Going too wide" out of a junction. When the examiner explained this to me properly I realised that this is a bad habit and error I consistently did. However, this was never fully picked up during my lessons, explained, corrected and practiced to help eliminate this bad habit in readiness for my test. I contacted admin at Suffolk Rider Training about this and after various emails I found the individual concerned to be seemingly non-chalant and dismissive. He also said that this was "A common fault." What he could not seem to comprehend though is that if proper observation and instruction was given, then surely this should not be a "common fault"? It should never occur during a test situation. I have paid (like we all do) a lot of my hard earned money to do my motorbike training and I feel very let down. I personally will be going to another training school because I have lost faith in Suffolk Rider Training. I'm just wondering how many others have had similar experiences but never written a review about it? Thinking about it though, it is a business, and all businesses rely on a steady stream of money coming in. If someone fails then it is not their loss. It is the loss of the individual who fails and will have to pay out another £100 plus..

Fantastic experience: Excellent riding school Attended a CBT course as a complete beginner. Instructors Dave & Max were very knowledgeable, informative, calm. They both give excellent classrooms lessons and even better practical training. I was very nervous to start and both instructors put me at ease, offering tips and tweaks to make my riding better. Weather was quite hot (23 Degrees ) So we had opportunities for breaks if we needed it. The other members of the team when we returned were also very friendly and informative of any questions the group had either about bikes in general or about the big bike upgrade. 4 people attended my CBT and all 4 of us were happy with today's content and are already looking at upgrading to the big big licence. Well done and thank you, highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Suffolk Rider Training. Within just 2 months, with no prior experience at all other than riding pillion, I successfully passed my Mod 2 exam and am now fully licensed! I did everything from CBT, Big Bike Upgrade, 2 full training days, Mod 1 exam and Mod 2. I passed both with no faults at all. They also helped with advice regarding boots for the slightly shorter rider and options for lowering a bike so i felt comfortable riding. The whole team were very professional and friendly. Sorry I am rubbish with names but thanks to everyone at SRT, I know there were a lot of Robs!

The feedback was personal, helping me be safer and see other road users. I highly recommend the team and their success rate reflects the ability they have to give to their students. With the effort I put in, they met me every inch of the way and I am greatly rewarded. Special thanks to Rob and Shirley

Also, big shout to the other Rob during the BBU, really really useful coaching. Great balance between helping you past a test, while actually making you a better and safer rider.

Lewis Bedingfield 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First off I can not put into words how much I would recommend Suffolk Rider Training, From my first steps through the door being greeted by the lovely staff and Graham walking James and I through the necessary steps to get our full A licenses. To are CBT with Max who clearly and precisely guided us through to the necessary level to continue are training on the bigger 650s, and how can i forget the WONDERFUL Shirley (forgive me if i miss spelt) who took us through are main 2 day corse with her taste in music being second to none along with the use of her helpful nagging (In a delightful way) managed to get me through my Mod1 and Mod2 without a single minor. To the rest of the team who i haven’t mentioned you have not been forgotten in the part you played helping me achieve my license so i would just like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being so friendly and a pleasure to learn from God Bless and stay safe.

Oliver Reid 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took my CBT here with Justin. The quality of his teaching was exceptional. Everything in both the practical and theory sections was explained very clearly and concisely. This not only made the theory quick and easy to digest, but also the breaking down and method of teaching of the practical skills made it easy to get riding comfortably , safely and confidently quickly. The teaching of points regarding safety and awareness was very well done, which only added to feeling more safe and comfortable while riding. Teaching you how to be safe on a bike is one of the most important things when riding a bike, and here this really stood out as a strong point. Even for car driving, I am sure taking this course would make you a better, more aware and more considerate driver. While keeping everything safe and being firm and professional, Justin also made the day very fun and was very patient and kind with us getting the hang of riding. Along with the exceptional standard of all the 'serious' stuff, the whole day was brilliantly fun, relaxed and friendly. I definitely hope to come back in the future ! Thank you !

Fantastic experience: As a late starter to the bike riding, I was very nervous. But Max and Rob (family affair lol!) have been nothing other than patient and supportive. Everyone at SRT has been nothing but helpful and kind. I would reccomend them 100%. They WILL get you through it. However long it takes!!

Fantastic experience: Ah man where do I start. I booked 2 weeks in advance which was pretty quick for a Saturday booking. Due to a family emergency I either had to reschedule or try to shorten my CBT. They made it clear that we would have to follow rules, and abide by laws (I didn’t expect any less) but as long as the instructor was satisfied and we met all requirements of the CBT, I would have it. If not I’d have to return for further training (which of course I didn’t mind). Luckily I had a little bit of experience with automatic scooters in the past, and have been preparing for my motorbike theory test as well, so I managed to fly through. We started at 8 and by 1:30 I had the certificate in my hand. I informed the team that I would have to leave early in the day, and they were so accommodating, that I got my own instructor! Stephen was amazing, thorough, kind and just a well rounded mentor. Someone I hope to keep in touch with over my motorbike progression journey. An absolute 5 stars from me and I will definitely be going back for the big bike stuff after my theory.

Fantastic experience: A great big thanks to Suffolk Rider Training. My husband passed the CBT and is now looking forward to doing his test, thank you David. Graham, thank you for the refresher, you built me with confidence after 17 years of not riding, felt really relaxed. Anyone that hasn't ridden for some time, I would greatly recommend you book yourself in with these guys!!

Fantastic experience: Massive thank you to Shirley for getting me back on the road! After 15 years not riding and a loss of confidence it was no easy task. Finding Suffolk Rider Training was the best thing I could have done! Shirley was patient, supportive, encouraging and fun giving me the confidence I needed to get on my own bike again. Thank you!!

Isabella Moore 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was really anxious when I arrived and worried I wouldn't pass, but the one to one CBT I had with Justin was fantastic. He reassured me and gave me clear instructions and good advice. He was extremely patient. If you have anxiety, I would highly recommend both Justin and the 1 to 1. All the staff are really friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: CBT completed today 26/06/24 very informative enjoyable experience. Centred around road awareness and rider safety in every facet. Would recommend Kevin and SRT to anyone thinking of getting on a bike as your first mode of transport or like me making the change after 12 years of car driving. Note: Personal choice of course but I don’t recommend hottest day of the year! Sweaty is understating it!

Adrianna 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Massive thanks to Suffolk Rider Training for helping me pass and get my A2 License, they’re amazing at explaining things to new riders and giving feedback. I did my CBT with them too, they’re always so supportive and have so much faith in ur success of passing. I’ll see you guys in two years time for my full A license

cattmayy 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Lovely riding school! Would definitely recommend! Everyone is super friendly and were super helpful guiding me to passing my A license. Luke helped me pass my Mod 1 and gave me a handful of tips when coming to doing the U-turn and Figure of 8 which I will now use when out and about. Amazing team and thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Had a really fun day doing my CBT with the team here - very organise, friendly and down to earth staff. I did mine with Kevin and he was a superb instructor. He explained everything with detail but also taking into consideration our lower knowledge of bikes and was very patient when doing practical stuff. Will definitely use them again when I look to upgrade to the full licenses! Cheers,

William Thackeray 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this company enough all of the instructors are polite professional and really help you I was a noob coming into a motorbike with no experience going for my A2 and they helped me along the way giving me advice and pointing me in the right direction of how to pass and be a better rider. And to top it all off they have a laugh with you but if you want a bike license this company if the one you go to. Thanks aswell for your patient and time

Luke Hartgrove 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great time today with a very patient Max on a 1-1 basis for my 125cc CBT. He was knowledgable and very patient (especially when I got cramp twice early on and had to stop not long into the final 2 hour ride). Will be returning for a big bike upgrade at some point once improved my riding skills.

Steff Evans 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant training from Suffolk Rider Training for my CBT, MOD1 and MOD2 tests. I did mine as 2-3 hour lessons over a few months as that suited my learning style better and SRT were really accommodating. I had various trainers during that time and they were all great! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT with Suffolk rider training today All of the instructors I met were lovely and the lady who greeted me in reception was equally lovely, they all made it a great experience I was quite nervous at first because I had little to no experience on a moped and very little experience on the road (only experience on a push bike ) my instructor Nigel was fantastic and let me go at my own pace, he made me feel completely at ease and was very good explaining any mistakes and any little improvements I can make going forward absolutely would recommend to anyone who wants ride and is nervous... they will help you! will 100% use them again. Thank you guys!
