Fantastic experience: EXCELENTE SCHOOL HIGHLY RECOMEN!!! I would like to leave a review about this school and in particular about my instructor Andy in Wembley. Customer service is excellent, communication is excellent, the way they respond to the customer's need is excellent. This school is focussed on helping students become good riders. Regarding Andy, my instructor at Wembley, I am very grateful and happy that he has taught me and guided me to obtain my DAS. An excellent instructor, passionate and professional about his work always instructing how a good biker should behave on the streets transmitting security and confidence both in training and in tests. Thank you Andy for the support and confidence that you gave to me and my colleagues during test you made us to understand that being nervous was not convenient and helped us calm down. Andy, God bless you, GREAT JOB MATE YOU NO ONLY HELPED US TO OBTAIN THE LICENSE YOU MADE US A GOOD RIDER thank you for your help. EXCELLENT SCHOOL.

Fantastic experience: I had an exceptional motorbike lesson with David, whose blend of professionalism and friendliness made the experience enjoyable. He provided clear explanations about essential safety gear and taught me critical skills such as shoulder and mirror checks, using turn signals, and understanding speed limits. The practical portion focused on navigating roundabouts and crossroads, where David's patient guidance significantly boosted my confidence. Overall, I highly recommend David for anyone looking to enhance their motorbike riding skills!

Negative experience: If you enjoy rats, rusty shipping containers and outdoor loos that will break the strongest of noses, this is your place. I cannot in good faith recommend this training to anyone.

This is a fictitious review. We don't have anyone by this name on our database. We do have an outdoor toilet as well as an indoor one with toiletries etc. Our containers are not rusty (they are fairly new) and no rats.

Fantastic experience: I started my journey at Lightning Motorcycle Training as a complete novice, never having ridden a motorbike and only riding as a pillion twice in my life. I set out to obtain my full licence and was impressed with Lightning’s reviews and their fair and open pricing so I signed up with them. The booking was super easy to make and the admin team work really hard to make sure you know what you need, where to be and when. They will help you book your sessions around your schedule and needs. In a short amount of time I obtained my A2 licence (passed both my Mod1 and Mod2 tests first time!) which is a huge testament to the instructors, their experience, patience and expertise. I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Dave, Marcus, Keith and Andrew at the Wembley site. What a lovely bunch of individuals, each with their own set of quirks, you’ll surely pick up a wealth of valuable advice. On the road I always felt safe and trust me, these instructors (each with their own riding and teaching style) genuinely want you to progress, they will always go above and beyond to see you succeed. I particularly like their no nonsense approach to teaching and the way that they will help you look for your own riding style. I cannot thank each and every one of you enough. I’ll be back for my A licence soon ☺️

Fantastic experience: I obtained my CBT and unrestricted motorcycle license thanks to the exceptional training I received at Lightning. Before Lightning, I had never ridden a motorcycle, after their CBT and DAS course, I have my full license. The entire experience was fantastic, and I cannot recommend this school highly enough. I had the privilege of being trained by David, Keith and Andrew, who were all incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and professional. Their ability to break down techniques and manoeuvres into manageable steps made the learning process simple and enjoyable. The instructors here place a strong emphasis on safety on the road and best practices which gave me the confidence to develop the skills needed to pass the tests. The school’s bikes were top-notch, and the office team was always professional, friendly, and accommodating. From start to finish, the entire process was well-organised and stress-free. I would highly recommend this school.
