Our comment from DrivingSchoolsTOP.co.uk about Roadcraft School of Motorcycling:

A legacy of safety and skill over 35 years

With over three decades of experience, Roadcraft School of Motorcycling has established itself as a premier training provider in Nottingham, prioritizing the development of safe, competent riders above all else. Unlike schools that focus on "fast-track" passes, Roadcraft takes a patient, personalized approach, ensuring that students master the fundamentals before progressing. This dedication to quality is reflected in their exceptional first-time pass rates and a curriculum that goes far beyond the minimum requirements to prepare learners for real-world road conditions.

Expert instructors and a supportive family atmosphere

The school is renowned for its team of highly experienced and approachable instructors, including Russ, Leanna, Ben, John, and Richard, who are consistently praised for their patience, humor, and constructive feedback. Students frequently highlight the welcoming, family-like environment where anxiety is replaced by confidence. The instructors are known for their ability to tailor their teaching styles to individual needs, making the learning process enjoyable and stress-free, whether for complete beginners or experienced riders returning to the saddle.

Comprehensive training and modern equipment

Roadcraft offers a wide range of courses tailored to different skill levels and goals, including:

  • CBT (Compulsory Basic Training): An ideal starting point for new riders.
  • Direct Access Scheme (DAS): Full license training for unrestricted motorcycles.
  • A2 and A Licenses: Structured courses for upgrading license categories.
  • Enhanced Rider Scheme (ERS): Advanced modular training for existing riders looking to refine their skills.

The school utilizes a fleet of well-maintained, modern motorcycles, primarily Honda models, allowing students to experience different bike types. Additionally, they provide high-quality safety equipment and offer valuable supplementary resources, such as instructional YouTube channels, to support learning between lessons.

Integrity and value for money

Customers consistently commend Roadcraft for its honest and transparent business practices. The team is praised for recommending the most cost-effective training options, such as pay-as-you-go sessions, rather than pushing unnecessary packages. This integrity, combined with their commitment to student safety and success, makes Roadcraft a highly recommended choice for anyone looking to learn or improve their motorcycling skills in Nottingham.

Fantastic experience: Roadcraft Nottingham came highly recommended and I can see why. I went from a 1 hour taster session in October to a full license in December. Their training is tailored to your individual needs and is delivered to such a high standard. Their training goes beyond the minimum requirements to get you to pass your test, but also gives you the skills to ensure you can be a forward thinking competent rider whilst keeping yourself safe. Huge thanks to Rich for the beginner sessions, Ben for the CBT training and getting me through all of my tests first time, John and Leanna for the excellent mod 1 and mod 2 training and confidence building and Russ for the advice. I highly recommend Roadcraft Nottingham. Truly a 5 star service.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Roadcraft highly enough! From start to finish, their approach is exceptional, focusing not just on helping you pass your test but on developing your skills to ride confidently and safely. Unlike fast-track courses, they tailor the training to your individual progress, ensuring that I was truly prepared. Their instruction goes far beyond the requirements for the DAS, laying a strong foundation for future development. Special thanks to Ben, Leanna, and John — their attention to detail, positivity, and enthusiasm are unmatched. Leanna’s patience and encouragement were key to building my confidence. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every lesson, feel safe and comfortable on the road, and will definitely return for advanced training in 2025. If you want to learn the right way, Roadcraft is the place to go. Thank you, Roadcraft!

Congratulations Tan, you aced it! I'm so pleased you had a great experience with Roadcraft. Be safe and look forward to seeing you next year. Russ and the team at Roadcraft.

Fantastic experience: Roadcraft took me from never having sat on a bike before, through my CBT and then passing my Mod 1 + 2 first time. I cannot recommend them highly enough. From Rich taking me on my taster lesson to Ben, John, Leanna and Russ helping me on with my lessons, all the staff will teach you to ride safely and with confidence on the road. I really liked the system of having lessons with all the instructors, they are all great at communicating information to you and each lesson you can feel you are making progress. If you are thinking about learning just book a taster session and see if it's for you, I'm really glad I did.

Fantastic experience: Very lovely people who make you feel welcomed from the second you walk in. I did a taster session (my first ever experience of riding a motorcycle) and a CBT and they both went so smoothly and feels like you're riding for fun. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to learn or wants advise on anything to do with motorbikes. I will definitely go back soon for my full license. Thank you, Richard, John and the rest of road craft family!

Thanks Mohand, so pleased you had fun and congratulations on the CBT achievement. See you soon. Russ and the team at Roadcraft.

Fantastic experience: I cannot rate Roadcraft highly enough. Right off the bat, you can tell these guys are not out to take as much money as possible by pushing you through a fast track course, or simply training you to pass your test. They pace the training to your personal progress (which actually saved me money over the intense courses!) and train you to ride as well and as safely as you can. Their training goes way beyond that required to pass DAS and puts you in a great position to develop on those skills after receiving your license. Special thanks go to Ben and Leanna - their attention to detail and positivity are second to none. Russ is always happy to advise on anything riding or bike related with great enthusiasm. I will be back for advanced training in 2025 for sure and would not consider going anywhere else! Thank you Roadcraft.
