Fantastic experience: Lewis was a top bloke, we hired 3 motorcycles, he gave us a good deal, when others wouldn’t. The bikes were used, but in good condition and we had a blast for the 3 days we had the bikes, he was flexible with the return times, just a great experience overall, thanks!

Fantastic experience: This place is definitely ace from no riding experience and passing only my car licence a year before they helped me pass my cbt with flying colours then they helped me pass my mod 1 with flying colours and then I went on to pass my mod 2 with flying colours so I would definitely recommend this place and the very lush people that work there kelly and martin your both an asset to the team and I thank you for your hard work and efforts because without you guys I wouldn't be on my motorcycle and ill always recommend you to others that want to get into the biking world so thanks again and lots of love guys you will be missed

Charlie Parsons 1 year ago

Negative experience: If i could rate it at 0, I would! I am so angry at how my wife was treated. It was disgusting, vile, and downright rude! Not only was my wife shouted and screamed at, but called names, and she even had a go at because she had to take an extra brake due to a medical condition. Sue could not make up her mind on the instructions to give, constantly contradicting herself and then getting mad at her because of it. Screaming at her and calling her an idiot and complaining that she had to take an extra brake. Aswell as telling my wife, " it's not worth riding in your condition," BUT OF CORSE WAS MORE THEN HAPPY TO OFFER 6 MORE LESSONS Also, telling her "CBT is not basic." I'm sorry, but does cbt not stand for compulsory BASIC training!?!? The worst part is this not the first time something has like this has happened at ace. It's a shame that people want to try and get into motorcycles come here and are put of by this place. If you're looking to get into bikes ease go anywhere eles

Fantastic experience: I have completed my CBT MOd1+2 with Ace all the staff are friendly and there knowledge is next to none thank you for such a great experience with you guys.

Peter Miller 1 year ago

Negative experience: The Keynsham site is incredibly difficult to find and Sat Nav may well take you to an area away from their meeting point. Having set off early in order to meet the deadline, I was still unable to find the place after 45 mins of driving around Keynsham. When I finally arrived, the sight of someone messing around on a bike in the forecourt area, no helmet on, frankly put me off and I walked away. That is not what I expected to see from a motorcycle training company. I had booked a taster session, as having never ridden a motorcycle before, was feeling slightly nervous. The sight of people larking about was not professional and I lost confidence in the company.

Natasha Martirosian 1 year ago

Negative experience: Most of the experience after signing up for the course 1 and 2 was negative. On my module 1 training day, the motorbike didn't work properly. It hadn't been tested and ready for the day, and it took a lot of my paid for practice time to change bikes, and then I had to get used to the new bike in half the time before my test the following day. So the company wasn't prepared for the course I paid for. Then, on my module 1 test day, I arrived excited and ready. Although I wasn't happy about the bike, I knew my abilities as a previously experienced rider. However, Niel was awful, racist, rude and had no place behaving the way he did, especially as I paid for a service with his company. There were two of us there that morning. One was clearly of British descent, and I am clearly not. When he read our names on the page, he looked up to the English looking gentleman and said, "you look like James (name changed for privacy reasons)" they looked at me and said, "but you don't look like a Sam". I asked "why, because I have an accent and black hair?" He replied "it could be, I'm saying you don't look like a Sam." The tone he used was worse than the words spoken and it was not confidence building or comforting right before the exam. Bringing up the things that make people feel different isn't nice. He asked me if I was stressed, and I said yes. He said a crude sexual joke - too inappropriate to write here. And then I was on my way to the exam. I passed module 1 thankfully because I am experienced. And module 2. But I wouldn't recommend this company because of Niel and the bikes were not in acceptable condition for learners. Even though Kelly was nice on reception and Sue was great for module 2, a company that employs racists and doesn't care for their student experience isn't recommendable.

Joshua Winterson 1 year ago

Negative experience: Absolutely shocking. The way they talk to students is horrific. Happy to take money yet treat you like dirt. ACE obviously stands for Absolutely Crap at training Entirely. DO NOT GO HERE.

Gina Filipe 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great team at ACE! Helped my daughter through her CBT even though she was nervous with little experience. Helped her confidence and now she can't wait to get on her bike!

Aimee Morgan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just completed my CBT and it was a great day. Tom was an excellent instructor who could tell when you needed a laugh and a joke to ease the nerves or when you needed some serious corrections but all was in aid of getting you to a good enough standard to pass which was the whole reason everyone is there.

Alan Webster 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I did the fowler's honda free ride event with the people from ace. The woman, really sorry I forgot your name, was lovely very informative and patient and calm and informative and very helpful, a great experience. My brother had a gentleman from Ace and he said he was a great instructor and he had a good time too.

Julie Webb 1 year ago

Negative experience: Really wish I had a better trainer on the day went for my cbt. Thought he was the big I am how he spoke didn't boost my confidence or feel comfortable with him And ended up leaving the course without my cbt waste of money. I have always had good and fun trainer's who don't threaten you with failing a cbt.

Reg Ward 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Went to Ace via a recommendation even though they were miles away. What a pleasure. The 'organised chaos' feel genuinely put me at ease when I arrived. During the day I was treated with kid gloves when required but also firmly when that was. Already looking for dates for do my A licence with them.

Sean Stone 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Recommend these guys very friendly helpful staff and very professional in what they teach I achieved my full bike license thanks to ace A⭐️

Lorraine Shipp 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I am by nature lacking in confidence in any test and training situation. I took my re-take yesterday and was very nervous. However after the initial training session and then on to off-road training at Longwell Green I felt more confident and relaxed a little. Our trainer for the day was Tom and he really offered sound and clear advice and gave me the confidence that I could ride my bike on busy roads safely. He was very constructive and his teaching ways are exemplary. Thank you for my CBT and I have another 2 years of motorcycling before I retire. Kind Regards- Lorraine.

Fantastic experience: Great leaning and riding experience. The staff were very professional and welcoming. Special thanks to Tom (instructor) for making the lesson enjoyable

Connor Bickford 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It's in the name, ACE were ace! I was nervous about doing my CBT as I had no prior training or experience but everyone there from the lady doing the admin (thankless task) to the instructors on the road were incredible. The course was extremely informative, especially the info regarding buying helmets. Tom was my main instructor and I found his style of teaching perfect for me, a great mix of seriousness when needed, and jokes when we could. His running commentary on the road made the ride comfortable and really calmed the nerves. I'm looking forward to coming back soon to book in for my full licence.

jack Allan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just recently did the two day module one course with Shane, an absolute fantastic teacher who made the experience so enjoyable. Some great wisdom as well as great banter to keep the module engaging.

Joseph Jones 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Initially I contacted them basically asking ‘what the heck do I need to do to go from Zero to full licence’… They put me on the right path in that first call, the lady on the phone gave me 10 minutes of her time on the enquiry… This gave me the confidence that they were the right kind of people to get me through the whole process; cbt, theory, mod1 and mod2. Had a good laugh with Pete and the others when we had a few breaks, which made it a really enjoyable few days with them. Training was excellent, they’re really focussed on analysing everything you’re doing and getting you above the standard. Thanks all!

Chris Willman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Really great training centre, helped me pass my cbt first time with no previous experience. Very friendly and patient instructor who was very knowledgeable and easy to learn from. Would 100% recommend

Nathan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I did my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 passing 1st on all of them. I had the pleasure of meeting most of the instructors who are brilliant at what they do (Martian said he was the best and deffinitely didnt tell me to write this) and can get anyone riding on 2 wheels safely. If you're going to choose someone to do any training with I highly reccomend ACE.

Steve Bullion 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT with Tom, great instructor and really helped with my nerves of learning my gears. Great fun and really had a laugh with my training. Definitely would recommend them to anyone looking to do CBT or Licence training.

alex goldson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: BIG 5 stars!! Had a great day learning how to ride a motorcycle and will definitely be back for my mod 1 and 2 as I received a really good service. Big shout out to Kelly my instructor who managed to teach me to ride a 125 in a short space of a day. I recommend Ace to anyone looking to pass their motorcycle tests

Willy Brothwood 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend these guys highly enough! Everyone at Ace is really friendly and knowledgable.. Special shout out to Martin who was my instructor for mod 1 and 2, and i passed them both with no faults! If you're thinking about learning to ride in Bristol book with Ace.

Jordan Taylor 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely great service - bit of a late review since I did my full A license with them back in November, but now I'm a happy bloke with a big BMW, couldn't have done it without them. 5/5. Proper good lads.

Jack Stallard 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just got home from passing my mod 2! I done one days training followed by next day test for mod 1. And then ace got my a training for mod2 and same day test! Martin was amazing. Gave me so much confidence from the quality training. Can’t thank and recommended enough.

Owen Cliffe 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great training and support through DAS course, highly recommend over Phoenix. I finished a 4 day DAS/A2 course with ACE having taken my CBT with Phoenix in Bath, the experience was brilliant through both tests. For module 1 having a 45m warm up ride out to Wells on the bigger bike made a huge difference to my confidence and comfort on the bike, and the training pad was brilliant practice for both tests. Both my mod1 and mod2 instructors (Twiggy, Neil) were very good teachers. They were constructive and direct and helped me reset a bunch of bad habits I'd picked up riding a 125 on my own. Both built up confidence and helped me sail through my tests while also leaving me feeling like a much safer rider at the end of the course. Bikes are in excellent condition, well maintained and easy to ride and plenty of high quality equipment if you need it in all sizes.

Lewis Bateman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I retook my cbt yesterday with ace and the staff are all very welcoming my instructor was Shane and he pushed me to break the bad habits I have made before and pushing me to be more confident to get my full bike licence

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 and passed all first time. Huge thank you to all the team, especially Martin who did my bigger bike taster and Mod 1 and Mod 2 training. Everyone's got great knowledge and experience to get you through everything, the jokes and banter put me at ease and I really enjoyed all the days.

Gareth Pocock 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ace are experts, truly. The instruction was unrushed, step by step, very individual to me, supportive, informed by significant experience and a conscious process of improvement. Learn with Ace and you will be a safer, confident, better rider. They make the effort to understand you and really deliver, a great experience. Thank you Ace!

graham fenwick 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just taken my CBT with Kelly, and Tom at ACE MOTOR CYCLE TRAINING, the instructors were great the information was clear and concise every instruction was made clear, you were made to feel extremely comfortable, you could always ask questions at any time. I would thoroughly recommend ACE TRAINING and I plain to take my full licence with them in the future.

Tyler Clark 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just completed my full bike licence with ace and couldn’t recommend them enough! Got me booked straight in and all training was spot on very professional yet still good fun, Shane done a brilliant job with getting us ready for test, would highly recommend!

SB 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a great bunch of people they are. I’m so happy to have passed everything cbt mod 1 and mod 2 in a few weeks. I’d never ridden a bike before but a combination of different instructors and teaching methods I got there in a short time. So happy and so thankful I chose Ace. Thanks so much

Jason 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Found out my CBT was running out in January so rang up and asked their advice on getting my full license in the quickest way. They soon had me booked onto training and tests for my Mod 1 & Mod 2. Passed both first time thanks to some really great and patient training from very knowledgeable and experienced instructors. Couldn't recommend them any more highly!

Charlotte Symonds 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just did my CBT here. Absolutely amazing place to do a bike course! Staff were full of laughs while making sure safety was the #1 thing. Anyone who is considering where to go for bike training I couldn’t recommend this place more!

Rachel Lewis 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Passed my full bike license first time thanks to the amazing training from Sue who definitely had her work cut out with me! Highest recommendation to Sue and all at Ace who put up with a stressy middle aged woman!!

Dorian Smith 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very nice environment to learn. Good equipment and Bike and most importantly very good staff. I did the two day module 1 with Pete and passed 1st time. Mod 2 to follow. But feel confident and safe to ride Update. Mod 2 also passed 1st time. Guy and Nigel provided further grrat training. Cant rate the place enough.

Ash Ranpura 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely top end, professional organisation that understands both the psychological and physical skills needed for safe motorcycling. They train to a much higher standard than the tests, so that even if your test day is your worst performance you're still likely to pass.

Jeremy C 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant people, and excellent quality training. We had a completely different experience to another company in a very positive way. The other company did not tolerate anyone who cannot speak English fluently, and cancelled the CBT part way through A week later Ace training showed it was not an issue. Kelly and Kev were really helpful, and Kelly in particular because she gave the trainee a chance and taught him a lot. A bit of consideration was made, taking into account language capability, but the training was on a par with everyone else and they didn't give any concessions. They were demanding, in line with safety standards, but the whole day was conducted in a positive friendly manner. Don’t go anywhere else. Go here.

SirDigby ChickenCaesar 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: These guys are brillaint, passed my Mod1 and Mod2 first time here. I've had Mod1 lessons at other places and can say it was a waste of time. Should have just gone straight here. My Instructor Martin really knew his stuff, when I found things diffficult he helped me through it. The bikes are great too, heated grips are a nice touch for cold weather. I can't recomend these guys enough, if I could give 6 stars I would!

Dan Oakley 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had a cbt today nervous at first but had Shane and Tom who were absolute legends made me feel relaxed and very professional gave me some tips for my mod 1 thanks lads a credit to your company and shout out to honey u know who you are see you again bro

Paul Moore 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great training and great staff! Rob / Kelly for the CBT and they did an amazing job, very professional and helpful. Vegan for my MOD 1 and we had a laugh. Very down to earth and always happy to answer any questions. Adrian / Neal for my MOD 2 and they know their stuff, always happy to help! Some honorary mentions to Shane and Martin who helped for test advice and pre Mod 1 training. Overall, great school with great banter. Everyone at ACE was really helpful. Thanks guys / gals and thanks for getting me there!

James Blannin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having completed my CBT with a rival company (where I didn’t really enjoy the process and felt I was an inconvenience and should ‘know’ everything), I was keen to find an alternative and have just completed my Mod 1 and Mod 2 with ACE. Firstly, they definitely live up to their name! From initially speaking with Kelly and then training with Pete and then Martin, it was clear to see that they had my best interests at heart, breaking down each point of riding the bike. I definitely would not have passed without their efforts, especially Martin who has the patience of a saint and has so many excellent ways to train and teach! Loved the training and will miss the lessons! I cannot recommend ACE enough! Get booked in, you won’t be disappointed!

John Stanley 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Did my DAS (in separate bits) with these guys this summer, passed Mod 1 second time and Mod 2 first time! Guy Davies was my instructor for all training sessions, really nice down-to-earth guy who knows his stuff, and was very patient at times when I was having a brainfart or just being obtuse. Only managed to drop the bike once, squeezed the front brake and botched a slow U-turn haha! Again, Guy was very supportive and understanding throughout the whole thing. I honestly don't think I would've passed my Mod 2 if I didn't do the 2-day training here. It's a good bit of cash to fork out to be fair, but if you want a friendly professional & stress-free ticket to starting life on 2 wheels, I reckon it's worth every penny. 10/10, no complaints.

Willis K 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Completed my 2nd CBT here. Big thanks to ACE for the service much better than my 1st CBT. Was lucky to have Shane as my instructor who was excellent as a teacher and source of great laughs. Brilliant at giving confidence whilst being clear on instructions. Will be back for Mod 1 and 2.

Mark 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT, MOD 1 & MOD 2 with these guys recently. Absolutely nothing to fault or moan about. All staff and instructors are friendly and helpful and the training they provide is first class and they make it enjoyable. Massive shout out to Kelly, Martin and Pete, thanks for getting this older rider through, despite my many brain farts. See you all on the roads. Ride safe.

Ross Colebrook 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Completed CBT with these guys. Absolutley fantastic experience. Good balance of challenging yet supportive. Shane knew exactly how to get the best from me particularly when I struggled with parts. Good laugh too, would highly recommend them

Joe Wilcox 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my experience with ACE. Just did my CBT last week. As you'll see, due to their popularity they're often booked up a month or more into the future. Fortunately, I spotted a date that had come up much sooner and the guy on the phone was able to switch the date for me no problem. I really enjoyed the CBT, just the right mix of hands on instruction and giving you a chance to figure it out. The instructors were clearly very knowledgeable. I'm sure I'll be back again to do my mod 1 and 2 some point in the future.

Grant Dalton 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Started my journey with ACE with an inquiry 12 weeks ago asking how I could reach my goal of gaining my full motorcycle licence before the end of July. Kelly replied with a detailed plan and helped at every stage of the booking process, she is so helpful and kind. Furthermore, her plan was accurate- I’m sitting her now with my full motorcycle licence which I gained yesterday! Thank you for you help Kelly! ACE provided the training for my CBT, Module 1 (where I received no faults) and Module 2 (where I received 1 fault). I had limited experience of riding, so to pass all components first time was a dream. Genuinely I do not feel these results would have been possible elsewhere. ACEs ethos makes the difference. Special thanks to Martin and Pete for the on/off road training- your teaching styles are impeccable! Also to Neil for the pep talk before each of my tests, considering those ‘silver linings’ really helped settle the nerves..! To anyone considering booking their training, there is a reason this school is called ACE.

Ahmad Alloush 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Completed CBT here and I highly recommend it. My instructors were knowledgeable and had a good laugh with everyone which made the day more fun. Good bikes too. Equipment provided by them. Will be going on to do full licence with ace motorcycle training

Katie Evans 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Finally living the dream :-) ACE training have been just that ACE in every way. Passed my cbt mod 1 and mod 2 with these guys and loved every minute of it. The relationship these guys have with each other is amazing to see and be part of during your short time with them. I have loved every minute of my training and want to thank everyone that helped from Kelly in the office to Neil for getting me passed mod 1 and Martin who got me passed mod 2 with a extra lesson on roundabouts which he put himself out to make sure I had time before my test I will never forget his 3 rules and think the kids will feel safer in the car for them. And I will always Remember to put the side stand down now that is for sure. These guys have been amazing throughout and being a lady wanting to ride for so long they have made the experience enjoyable and entertaining along the way. Would 100 percent recommend them.

Andy Hillyer 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can not recommend Ace Motorcycles enough. From my first session with the exceptional Martin to finally taking test under the expert instruction of Shane, my experience has been nothing but fantastic. I was made to feel at ease and they gave me confidence in my abilities. In my final module 2 assessment, I want to give a huge shout out to Shane, who was absolutely brilliant. His expert tuition enabled me to pass my test without any observations, he really is awesome.

matthew Derrick 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shane was absolutely brilliant, helped me all the way through my CBT and even told me where I needed to improve, couldn't had asked for anymore, quality guy and very funny

Robert Echim 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started my full motorcycle driving licence at Ace Motorcyle and the team is absolutely amazing. My instructor was Mr Shane and he is truly professional with a smart funny style of teaching, very patient with the students, super friendly and easy to learn from. Definitely recommended!

Soph Smith 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT today with my instructor Shane and couldn't fault him! As a novice rider, I had a fair few nerves but Shane's a sound guy with great knowledge and ensures you understand the importance of keeping you and others safe on the road. He made me feel at ease and confident on and off the road with clear instructions. Great sense of humour and ensures you know the information needed.. in song form.. hahah. Highly recommend Ace Motorcycle Training, all the team are happy to chat and have a laugh. Thank you again

Eve S 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I did my CBT here this morning and my instructors (Les and Adrian) were the best. They were extremely funny which really made me feel at ease. They were so helpful and experienced. I learnt a lot today and I am so glad I chose Ace Motorcycle Training.

Maria Budd 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Today I took my resident with learning disabilities to do his cbt and he did struggle in a group but Martin and Sue went the extra mile as he needed one to one and they stayed on late to do this. Cant thank them enough for making him so happy. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

Amy 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Martin is just fantastic. Helped me pass my mod 2 test and build my confidence. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone, he is really focused on making you a great rider, not just passing the test and the way he teaches is super engaging and really tailored to me. Thanks Martin! Shane is also a great coach, helped me pass my mod 1 and made things easy to understand with his ways of explaining things and top gun :) Was a hard task to pass first time as I wasn’t really taught to use the front brake on my cbt, so Shane helped me learn this from scratch and really get comfortable and confident braking at higher speeds. Also Kelly at reception is super helpful and kind, a scheduling Queen always happy to help! (I didn’t have such a great experience on my cbt with ace, but the mod 1 and 2 instructors more than made up for it)

Teej Chapet 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This school is ACE! :) Thank you so much for helping me to get my A! Especially Kelly for organising the training and tests in slightly unusual circumstances and Martin and Shane for the excellent guidance. These guys are the best!

C H 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Passed full licence first time thanks to Guy and Pete. Dropped the bike on Day 1 doing an U-turn to passing Mod 1 the next day is a testament to the trainers. Pete was amazing with Mod 2 with all his useful little tips is something I use on a daily basis now that I have my proper bike.

russell watts 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT, MOD1 & MOD2 with Ace (MOD2 passed today!). Big thanks to my instructor Shane, had him from the start all the way to the end of my DAS training. He’s knowledgeable and loves what he does. Working with Shane I passed every exam first time and with only 1-2 minor faults. I really enjoyed my time working with Ace, they’re all lovely and made me feel welcome from the start. Kelly who does the bookings is also a proper legend. Be nice to her, she’s on the phone all day booking in sessions and keeps the wheels moving over there. I’d recommend taking your time and booking in extra sessions where you can. I had Pete for two two hour one to one sessions. These sessions really help with my confidence and helped keep me sharp between test days as didn’t have my own learner 125cc to practice on. Thanks for everything Ace.

Chantelle Elizabeth Cain 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently did my CBT course for a manual 125cc here and I can not praise my instructor Les enough. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. Looking forward to booking some taster sessions for a bigger manual bike later this year.

Cameron Mckechnie 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had Shane and Chris as instructors for my CBT. Both had great banter and the ability to switch into instructor mode and give clear instructions and stress the importance of things. Everyone there was amazing and helpful. Will renew the license at ace for sure

Archie Reed 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My instructor, Shane, made my CBT a friendly and very helpful environment where I was able to quickly pick up the knowledge/skills needed t o pass first time. I would highly recommend Ace to anyone.

Tai North 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had Shane as an instructor for my Module 1 bike test, he was a really nice guy and made me feel really confident when it came to the actual test day, he teaches each individual rider in a way they can understand which made it so much easier when it came to test day!! Big shout out to Shane and Ace training, hope to have him again for my Module 2!!

Damian Jakubczyk 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have done my full license test in the summer of ‘22 , the instructors took their time to explain everything to teach at your learning speed and provided feedback in a constructive way rather than just saying what you’re doing wrong. Instructors are overall very patient and knowledgeable but most importantly proud to be teaching the next generation of motorcyclist. I found the price to be very competitive and the process of booking tests and training was done with ease and good availability even during the busy summer testing season. 10/10 would highly recommend

Joe Soltan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Second bwaaap school I tried in the area due to a move and the quality of training here was a class above. Really helpful and friendly instructors. Definitely recommend choosing these guys for all your motorcycle training needs.

Dariusz Burnatowski 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: From the moment of booking right to the end I received great service. Lady I spoke over the phone was kind, helpful and answered all the questions I could ask. And on the day of training, all the instructors were very clear about everything and managed to make it a really fun day with their jokes and overall attitude. Special thanks to Les who did the road part with me. Keep it up guys!

Fantastic experience: These guys are awesome!! Had my CBT with them yesterday and just wanted to say thankyou to Shane and Les. I was the only woman but they made me feel at ease within the group and treated me no differently to the lads that were there. I started off rocky as I've never driven a bike before so I struggled at first and wasn't very confident, they were so patient with me and talked me through step by step without pushing me too far too quickly. And after a little pep talk from Les I gained alot more confidence and was able to go out on the road. On the road I had Shane as my instructor and he talked me through every step of the way and made me feel safe on the road. His way of teaching was a breath of fresh air, Totally down to earth. The difference in me from the morning to the afternoon was crazy! I managed to get my certificate So just wanted to say thankyou so much, you guys are appreciated..

Fantastic experience: Amazing people,when I attended AMT straight off the bat they were really helpful to everyone who attended, they gave extra care to those who needed it and really tried to make everyone feel comfortable in being there. Amazing knowledge and really do cover all the points needed to help you pass. A+++++++

Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT today with Les and can't recommend him or the company highly enough, it was a completely painless process with just the right mixture of friendly and informative / knowledgeable! If you're having any doubts, you don't need to be. These guys are a hidden gem.

Fantastic experience: I can not thank these guys and Kelly enough for all there help and training they have given me. I did my cbt 4 years ago which was awesome from start to finish. I had to stop riding due to my mom falling ill. I have now decide to do my das course and couldn't think of a better place to do it as I had such a good experience before. I have currently passed my cbt and mod 1 with my mod 2 booked in. The confidence they have given me is truly awesome. CAN I JUST STATE THAT I AM A LADY OF COLOUR AND I WAS TREATED WITH THE UP MOST RESPECT.

Fantastic experience: I suffer from extreme social anxiety and was at ease all day during my CBT. The staff are very easy to get along with and very fair. Staff took the time to give everyone individual attention and instruction when needed. Looking forward to using them again in future. Have recommended to my friends and preparing to book my wife on a course too I was that impressed.

Fantastic experience: Both me and my partner did our CBT here yesterday and from booking it, all the way to the very end the team was amazing! The receptionist was super friendly and helped me book us both in at once, and our instructor Shane was amazing! He made us both feel super confident on the bikes whilst have banter and making us feel calm and relaxed but also making sure we are being safe and giving us clear instructions whilst being on the road! Definitely couldn’t have wanted anything better from ace training!

Fantastic experience: Had Les as my instructor yesterday. Was able to complete my CBT on a provisional with no experience on a bike before! He was informative, knowledgeable, funny and calm when giving direction. No question was stupid. Thank you so much for your help with starting me off on the road, guys! Was a pleasure :) x

Fantastic experience: Done my cbt here with Adrian Great company with good customer service, Adrian was a great instructor and very thorough. See you soon for my full licence. Update I have now completed my mod 1 and 2 with ACE and couldn't be happier with there performance, myself and my fellow rider had Andy Davies for our mod 2 and he done a great job of getting us both through, so thanks

Fantastic experience: My friends all got their licences so I thought I’d better have a go. I did my cbt with Shane and to my surprise really enjoyed it, So much so Shane just did my mod 1. All the guys and gals at Ace seem sound, a good laugh but also able to switch the “professional instructor” switch on when needed. Cheers

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic experience here! I passed my ct and felt incredibly comfortable on the bike after the day was done , Martin my instructor he was such a kind , patient and funny guy and explained everything very well.

Fantastic experience: Shane was my instructor on the day. Very clear explanation on what to do and how to get the most out of my riding. What I liked a lot was the time effectiveness from learning the basics to actual riding. Other CBT’s took hours until you get on the bike. Whilst on the move Shane was giving clear instructions, basically a lot of it simulation for your Mod 1 and 2. Highly recommend! *****

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much again Ace! Passed Mod 2 with the superb support and advice from Martin. After passing Martin kindly spent his own time in teaching me some more about lane discipline and how to effectively use a bigger bike than the 125 I’ve been using! Would recommend Ace training for anyone who wants to do their CBT/DAS/Mod 1 and 2. Love this company, easy to get to, free parking around the corner and relaxed, chilled and happy environment to be around. Thank you so much Ace! Guy and Shane are absolutely amazing and their teaching and support allowed me to pass Module 1 first time! Very relaxed and friendly staff at Ace too and answered all my many questions! Can’t recommend enough and already booked for my Module 2! Can’t wait! Thanks again Ace!

Fantastic experience: Well, this was a pretty epic experience! CBT on a geared bike (I was extremely anxious about geared bikes before - been a moped rider for years). The instructor, Shane with his "definitely very wild West" cowboy hat explained everything really well and gave us the time we needed to practice skills until we felt comfortable. The riding experience didn't just feel like an exam, it was actually very enjoyable! I'll be back...

Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT, Mod 1 & 2 with ACE. A big shout out to Twiggy, Martin and Chris for their patience with a vertically challenged person. They are very experienced instructors, who were so encouraging and made it enjoyable (despite some very bad jokes). They were great at helping me stay calm on test days (thanks Neil and Pete for that). Kelly was great at fitting me in for lessons and tests, which allowed me to reach my goal before my CBT expired. Sue offered some good advice about women biker groups. Thanks to everyone for helping me strike something off my bucket list (it's been a long time coming). Really appreciate it. Great bunch of people. Will be recommending you to others.

Fantastic experience: I had a further day’s training on the 8th July. This time, I had Shane as my instructor. He was fantastic and taught in a slightly different way which helped with some of the things that I had found difficult on the first day. He was really good at helping me to get over my fear of going faster than 19 miles an hour on the road! I agree with him that you are a hazard if you are driving too slowly on the road and can’t accelerate away quickly enough. I learned several tips that have improved my driving and road safety awareness. The trainers are all knowledgeable, professional and also able to make the training fun. Thank you to Shane who organized for ice lollies on what was a very hot day. The ACE motorcycle training team are brilliant. Special thanks to the team on the the 8th July - Shane, Adrian & Les on the course and Pete & Martin in the office. I would definitely come back to Ace for further training in the future and would definitely recommend Ace to a friend.

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT, Mod1 & Mod 2 with Chris, Martin & Twiggy respectively , passed all 3 first time & with no previous motorcycle experience, all 3 trainers know their stuff and are great blokes, they all had a lot more confidence in me than I did in myself. Pleased I didn’t let Twiggy down and happy his 100% Mod 2 pass rate is still in tact. Highly recommend Ace Motorcycle Training.

Carlo Grasso 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have done my last 4 CBT's here, and they have always been brilliant and help you in every area in order to get you through the course - even checking the air in my tyres. My instructor was Shane and he was amazing, very down to earth & humorous with it. He helped me get a rid of some bad habits I've picked up since the last CBT and overall I felt confident he knew all the answers to my questions as well as helping with areas of the law that had been updated in the last few years.
