Zen Motorcycle Training Ltd

Fantastic experience: I did my cbt and staff was great help very very good trainers as well be going right into my full licence with zen motorcycle very soon .. great instructors. great place ...be seeing u all soon .jake

Fantastic experience: Zen motorcycles were amazing. Alex is a great instructor! Very chilled, funny, patient & knowledgeable. He will go at your pace and make sure that you are confident in every step. Definitely recommended for anybody with our without experience! 10/10.

Fantastic experience: Just passed my mod 1 and 2 with instruction from Laura,Adele and Alex. Very happy with instruction given. Zen seemed a happy relaxed place. I was a returning rider with 12 months experience on a 125 cc bike. I feel far more confident after my training and would not hesitate in recommending Zen to others.

Fantastic experience: Zen Motorcycles were amazing, I’d highly recommend the guys there. Really helpful, patient, knowledgeable and great trainers. Adele took me through my CBT and I have to say it was really fun. She took time to help me understand anything I wasn’t sure of and made me feel relaxed. I’ve already booked in for my direct access with Zen which I’m really looking forward too. Don’t go anywhere else if you want to learn to ride motorbikes.

Fantastic experience: Laura is an amazing instructor. Calm, positive and professional. She took us through to a successful CBT and has made us feel safe and confident on the road. We can’t thank her enough! Just an amazing person. Adele was also brilliant and supportive. We would highly recommend Zen to anyone who want to learn to ride. All the team, Alex and Pete are just great too!!! Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Laura Laura was fantastic couldn’t of asked for a better instructor made the day fun , and I came away 100% confident being on the roads for the first time , thanks Aidan

Fantastic experience: Well what can I say best motorcycle training place out there for me as over the year done my Cbt a fair few times the staff I great make you feel at ease and genuinely jut top people of of you if you want a Cbt or a full license this is the company to use thank you for your hard work and one very happy man with my big boys license thanks guys

Fantastic experience: Great day with Laura doing the cbt. Highly recommend zen. Keep up the good work Laura.

Fantastic experience: For me learning to ride was something I wanted to do for a purely leisure perspective , which meant I wanted to learn the ropes properly and make sure that I am able to ride a big bike, rather than focusing on just passing CBT and the tests. I’d never been on a bike before so came to this from scratch. CBT was with Laura. Good coverage of the theory at the beginning of the day, taking time to answer questions and asking questions to check understanding. On the practical side, the other person was on an auto scooter but Laura effortlessly switched between the two of us. I actually didn’t feel comfortable going out on the road and told Laura, so Laura focused on getting my confidence up on the basic controls. I went back for another day, more confident with the controls and then spent 3 hours on the road with Drew and completed the CBT. They charged me half the price for the second day and by the end of it, I was looking forward to getting on the bigger bikes at the right time. I then had Alex for both mod 1 and mod 2: what a stand out guy. Super chilled, and gives you confidence. Talks you through everything and you also get some funny stories. I found myself asking Alex questions that I had previously asked or sought clarification and at no point did he get frustrated or rushed - you might even say he was Zen like. I didn’t pass my mod1 straight away and Alex was able to provide me hints and tips to help me. Given my other commitments i wasn’t able to go and repeat the mod1 straight away, and Alex recognising this, offered to let me come back one evening, just so I don’t get rusty - at no cost! In a world where most people want to make a quick buck and move on to the next, that speaks for itself. I made some daft mistakes on mod2 that I never made during the lessons, and aside from being more disappointed than I was, Alex kept it simple and gave me the confidence to carry on. I’ve passed my test now, and I can honestly say that I feel confident getting on a bike and riding. Alex and team are a class act. They work with their students to help them learn to ride and go out of their way to help - another example being squeezing in test dates given my commitments. It’s not about the pass rate for them, or the money, they want to see fellow bikers enjoying the road and being safe. The one thing I noticed is that other past students drop in - which shows that they have created a really nice community. When I passed, Alex being Alex offered to look at any bikes I may be interested in! He doesn’t need to do that, but that’s Alex for you. (On the day of my mod2 Alex was running slightly late (if you know, you know), but Adele seamlessly stepped in and ensured no time was wasted and covered off all the show and tell me questions. They really are a great bunch of guys and girls, and work well as a team). In case it wasn’t obvious, I’d recommend Zen. Alex, Drew, Laura and Adele - thank you and see you soon!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Zen enough. I completed my DAS training today with Alex who is a lovely character with a wealth of knowledge. I went from a CBT with no previous riding experience to passing Mod1 and Mod2 with Zen over the course of 5 sessions. Alex is a great teacher/mentor and super-chilled instructor. I have loved getting to know him and can see that he’s passionate about producing safe and skilled riders. The team at Zen are laid-back and welcoming. Big thanks to Laura, Adele and Pete for offering their assistance and wisdom! You have to be committed to the DAS which requires continual learning and perseverance. If you have the desire to ride, Zen will equip you with the knowledge and skills to be safe on the roads and kickstart your riding journey. Thanks again! K

Fantastic experience: Cannot rate the team highly enough. Top quality training with no BS.

Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT with Zen. Laura was my instructor and she was brilliant! Very friendly, supportive, and was very safety focused. I thoroughly enjoyed my CBT and am looking forward to booking my next training here.

Fantastic experience: Great people, great instructors. I'd definitely suggest going here for motorbike training, whatever your skill level or experience. They cater for everyone and make sure you're given sound advice that will make you a better rider. At the same time you get to have a good laugh with them, while you're learning. I passed my CBT and DAS with their help, all first time. I can't thank them enough.

Fantastic experience: Had my CBT last Friday (the 13th!!)... it couldn't have gone any smoother. Throughout the day we were put at ease with the very helpful and friendly team (my instructor was Laura) and the whole thing was over before I knew it. Loads of insightful tips and knowledge to absorb. Couldn't recommend Zen enough. Well worth it!

Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT a few days ago with Laura. Absolutely brilliant day! Laura has a very friendly and welcoming approach, was extremely thorough with a real emphasis on making sure you're safe and ready for the road. Will definitely be back to do my DAS course here in a few months time! Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my advanced lesson on city riding with Alex. After doing my CBT at another school I felt that I needed a bit of a confidence booster before taking on the rainy commute into Manchester. We started with a good informal chat about filtering techniques, the dos and don't of safe city riding, positioning, junction management etc. We then went out for a long ride around south Manchester to put it all into practice. Fair play to Alex for taking me out in some of the worst rain I'd ever want to ride in! Having done mostly country lane riding after my CBT I left this lesson feeling a lot more confident in my abilities and much less nervous about city commuting and how to ride when the heavens open! As an advanced lesson the whole day was tailored to whatever I wanted to get out of it rather than being a strict curriculum, leading to a really constructive experience with some good laughs on the ride itself. 100% recommend Zen and I'll definitely be back soon for the DAS to get my full licence.

Fantastic experience: Drew was a class act from start to finish, had an informative answer to every question and provided exceptional training. They are a paitent and well equipped motobike school for anyone with a joy for 2 wheels!

Fantastic experience: Excellent school who didn't just teach me the skills I needed but made it an enjoyable day as well. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I came to Zen after a bad cbt experience that nearly made me give up bikes all together. On arrival I got made to feel welcome by drew and other instructors. Throughout the day drew was amazing and made the whole cbt easy and made me comfortable on a bike. The whole day was a great laugh and I’d recommend anyone training on a motorbike to come here. Sparky

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience with Zen team. Couldn’t ask for a better instructor than Alex for completing my DAS tests. Did my CBT, Mod1 and Mod2 with Zen. Detailed instructions and explanation at each stage, tailored feedback and lots of practice rides ensured smooth rides on both test days. Passed both my tests on first attempts! No better place to do it and they are the nicest people, great biking environment - thanks a lot team!

Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT here. Laura instructed and trained throughout the day. Very knowledgeable and fun. Went through safety tips, information about bikes and gear, etc we completed our training in safe location within premises. We had access to all the riding gear etc. Laura made the day fun along with great riding tips and experiences. Thanks again . Will be returning for my DAS soon.

Fantastic experience: Great day spent doing my cbt with Laura. Absolute credit to the team. 13 years I've not been on a bike and she made it a breeze. Great team, really helpful and friendly. Can't wait to get my das sorted.

Fantastic experience: Great experience, great team. I completed the CBT and DAS training with Zen and was trained by Drew and Alex. Instantly put me at ease riding and the experience was fun. Learnt loads about motorbikes and feel much safer on the roads having learnt how to ride motorbikes with Zen. I am happy to have my full bike licence now, but will miss the experience of learning with the team at Zen. I highly recommend Zen for anybody who wants to pursue their motorcycle licence and learn how to ride.

Fantastic experience: Thanks drew for helping me to complete my cbt and give me all relevant information to get my full license , drew is a great instructor and he will teach you till will understand properly ,passionate about his job thank you .

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place, great place to do your cbt and more. I will definitely being doing my a2 course here just because of the professionalism but also chill and humorous atmosphere, lets you take a step back and not focus on your nerves and actually focus on riding and doing it the right way.

Fantastic experience: First class service from an amazing team! My friend and I did the cbt and full license at zen and thoroughly enjoyed it. The two instructors we had were Drew and Alex. Drew is a character that instantly puts you at ease and makes the learning an enjoyable experience. Alex has a calm and concise delivery giving useful information the whole day. They do it their way and probably different to most schools which is why I’m really glad I chose zen. Do not hesitate to get booked in, they are the real deal! Thanks for everything Zen.

Fantastic experience: Had my retake CBT today with Drew and I can't praise him enough. I have my DAS course booked in very soon but had to retake my CBT. Not only did he take the time to reassure and coach the young lad that was new to riding but he also spent time with me and gave me coaching tips and advice for my DAS course. It was a long day of bike riding and not once did Drew lose his patience and he continued to help coach the other gentleman as well as coaching me for my DAS course. The other staff there are also so bubbly and welcoming. I will definitely be popping in once I have passed my DAS. Thankyou for the days ride today Zen!

Fantastic experience: I would just like to say a massive thank you the my instructor Laura, absolutely amazing, really impressed how she kept a level head with the day we had and I would 1000% recommend zen everyone there is super friendly and very knowledgeable on the questions and conversations we had extremely happy with the day.

Fantastic experience: Great place with an even greater team very helpful and a good laugh would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone who wants to learn to ride

Fantastic experience: Great experience training at Zen,instructor and atmosphere the best i have experienced after doing cbt,basically did the mod 1 in the yard before going out on the road,highly recommend Zen to anyone getting a motorbike

Fantastic experience: Great day with a great trainer (Drew). Full of knowledge, was patient, friendly, thorough, passionate and dedicated but also full of banter making the day go smoothly with a lot of laughs to ease nerves. Really pleased I went with these guys for my CBT and will definitely be doing the lessons and tests with them to get my full licence. Fab day all round, thanks so much!

Fantastic experience: Excellent CBT day with Drew. From the beginning, friendly attitude and clear instructions. Throughout the introductions, gave good information about clothing, armour and motorcycles. Very receptive to questions and answered queries well. Going into the practical part, continuous feedback to help me improve and great moral support as well. The location is great, the guys are great and looking forward to booking DAS with them over the summer.

Fantastic experience: I did my CBT with Laura and she was great. I was made to feel comfortable and relaxed. Clear instructions no rushing couldn’t have asked for more. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Love this place! I would recommend Zen to anybody wishing to take motorcycle lessons whether it be CBT, DAS or Mod1 and 2 separately. They are the best instructors, friendly, professional, full of knowledge which they share, make you feel welcome and really want to see you pass and enjoy your biking!

Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT here with Drew, what a great day of learning and laughs! Great experience and supportive staff, I am a beginner and his tip’s supported me to complete my CBT and to feel confident in my journey into the bike life, especially with all the advice that was given to me about the kit, what to look for when buying a motorcycle, and everything else!! Highly recommend this place, not a bad word to say about the whole experience.

Fantastic experience: Great day with Drew doing my cbt made everything very clear and easy to understand and was very patient,supportive and friendly definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Amazing teachers, supportive and never rush you while fostering an amazing environment of learning. From CBT to direct access everyone has been amazing and truly are genuine riders that don't only want you to pass, but pass and ride convincingly. They don't teach you riding tips and tricks for the sake of passing a test, but really care that you become as good a rider as possible. Their passion and enthusiasm brushes on to you and extends their normal day to day work and truly make you feel part of their community no matter your background or whoever you are!

Fantastic experience: Today I passed my practical test for direct access for the first time and I had no experience with motorcycles before. Many thanks to Zen and professionalism, I recommend nice people with experience

Fantastic experience: Repeat cbt back at zen, different instructor but same teaching style, relaxed informative, explains all in simple style so you know exactly what to do, big thanks to Laura for great training and ride out.

Fantastic experience: I came to Zen to take my CBT having never ridden a bike, the training from Laura was truly first class and I would fully recommend Zen to anyone who is looking to get into riding. Laura's calm and patient style was absolutely spot on for a complete novice like me - I was taught not only the basics of motorbike control but also lots of safety and road craft skills. Five stars!

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Zen Motorcycle Training highly enough! From start to finish, my experience with them was exceptional. At the wrong side of 60 I was a complete beginner to motorcycling and was initially nervous, but their expert instruction immediately put me at ease. Firstly, the facilities were top-notch. The training grounds were spacious, well-maintained, and designed to simulate real-world riding scenarios, which was crucial for building confidence and skills. The equipment provided, from the motorcycles to safety gear, was of the highest quality, ensuring a safe and comfortable learning environment. Adele, Alex and Drew were the true stars of the show. Not only were they incredibly knowledgeable and experienced riders themselves, but they also possessed a genuine passion for teaching. Their patience, encouragement, and personalised approach made all the difference in my learning journey. They took the time to understand my weaknesses (lots of them unfortunately), tailoring their instruction to suit my individual needs. One aspect I particularly appreciated was their emphasis on safety. From the very first lesson, safety was ingrained into every aspect of the training. They covered everything from basic motorcycle maintenance to defensive riding techniques, ensuring that I not only learned how to ride but also how to ride responsibly. What truly sets Zen Motorcycle Training apart is their dedication to their students' success. They didn't just teach me how to pass the tests (mod1 and mod2); they equipped me with the skills and confidence to become a competent and conscientious rider for life. Thanks to their comprehensive training program, I now feel confident navigating busy streets and challenging road conditions i.e. rain, and lots of it! In conclusion, if you're looking for a motorbike training school that offers top-notch instruction, state-of-the-art facilities, and a commitment to safety and excellence, look no further than Zen Motorcycle Training. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely legends, I’ve done my cbt twice here (I am not able to pass theory test don’t ask lol). Did my training this time with Laura and she doesn’t just go over a checklist like Some instructors I’ve had before meeting the crew at Zen, she teaches you what you need to get on the road, what to look out for and even bits that you wouldn’t think you need to know but turn out to be extremely useful. If I ever pass my theory I’d defo be down here organising the next stages but until then I’ll will always return to these legends.

Fantastic experience: What an awesome place! I had my CBT with Laura and Drew, apart from it being swelteringly hot I had a great experience! loved the day and even though the back wheel went on my I handled it like a pro and I think I even shocked Drew with how well I handled it :P thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Just wanna say thanks to the guys especially Drew for my day at Zen. Very safe, informative and made sure I had all I needed to pass my CBT on my first go. Can not recommend these guys enough!

Fantastic experience: Just passed today, they’re all amazing there! My instructor was Laura, she was so helpful an easy to learn from! Amazing vibes I’ll be bak in 2 yrs

Fantastic experience: Just passed my CBT with Zen. Drew was amazing, gave me very valuable guidance and made me feel comfortable on the road. Strongly recommend going to Zen for your training x

Fantastic experience: I’ve just completed my CBT at Zen with Laura, and honestly can say I had the most amazing experience. Everyone there was lovely and very accommodating. I was quite anxious about getting into bikes but these guys have ironed out any nerves I had completely. Laura was very professional but also extremely friendly and laid back, so I didn’t feel like I was being “instructed to pass” but actually being taught how to ride properly. She was so patient with me and although I was a little too fresh on my first CBT attempt, I passed on the second attempt with flying colours because she really helped me through it. Thank you to everyone at Zen Motorcyle Training, I can’t wait to come back to complete my DAS!

Fantastic experience: Best place to do your CBT very welcoming and entertaining, I had the pleasure of being taught by drew the transgender instructor who is amazing, entertaining and she was very knowledgeable, having no previous experience, drew managed to teach me everything I needed to know and I now feel very confident out on the roads, would recommend this place to anyone looking to do there cbt

Fantastic experience: Alex and his team provided superb training and advice from their wealth of knowledge and experience. I passed my Cat A Mod 1 and Mod 2 at first attempts through them at the Bredbury test centre. The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable and the team are a really great group of people to be around. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Top lot of people at zen got me through my mod 1 and 2 now I have my full license soon to have my big bike :) would recomend them to anyone who wants to learn to ride a motorcycle the right way and safest way nice one zen

Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT yesterday with Laura @ Zen! I found Laura’s teaching style absolutely fantastic. Being an older female I was lacking in a bit of confidence but Laura helped me believe I could do it and I did! I learned so much in one day and can’t wait to fine tune the skills Laura taught me on my 125cc. I will definitely be returning to Zen for my DAS training at some point in the near future! Thanks again Laura!

Fantastic experience: This place gets it! They are so thorough with all they teach and this is because they know exactly what YOU need to know. I did mine yesterday and passed my CBT! I was nervous at first not knowing how it all would be but that soon went away because of how respectful/welcoming the instructor was with each of our past histories with motorcycles! It was a great experience and Drew our instructor had all the wisdom to share plus made sure we understood the important stuff. It was a good day on a bike and can't wait to go back to finish my next Module! Top stuff! Keep going Zen!

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Zen gave me confidence and the belief that I could do each of the modules and pass the test and I did just that. I looked forward to each lesson and never ever felt under pressure or inadequate. Quite simply, if you want to enjoy learning, be treated with respect and want to pass your test then call Zen️

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best day I’ve had was so chilled out there was no stress very very informative to any mistake and how to correct it in a calm way to where your not stress about it and can improve instantly. I couldn’t recommend this place any more. Thank you for such a good day I couldn’t be happier

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a training school an old friend recommended ZEN if i did not mind the drive from Burnley area. So glad I took his advice, been 39 years since I was last on the road on a bike, Drew made me feel at home and went way above and beyond his call of duty, with tips and advice. When we went out to do do the roadwork part of CBT I felt a little vulnerable as I could not believe how bad the attitude of car drivers was towards motorcycles especially as under instruction, with Drew riding shotgun I soon eased into it. I can't recommend this school highley enough and will be booking my DAS as soon as my theory completed. ZEN thank you for a fantastic day. Regards Craig

Fantastic experience: Just did my CBT with these guys and can highly recommend. The day wasn't rushed, the folk there are incredibly patient, but also have a highly successful no-nonsense approach that really helps your progression. The bikes were easy to handle and, after a day training I felt confident to go out and do the road work. I'm booking on for the next stage and am looking forward to it. Edit: So after doing my CBT, I went on to pass my Mod 1 and then the Mod 2 tests with Zen. All within a fairly good timescale, yet with really comprehensive training in between. The great thing about the training, in preparation for the next stages, is that you get to ride with all of their instructors. They all have their own takes on your riding, and how to improve, whilst maintaining a consistent approach and shared goal. It really helps your riding confidence, and progress. It's a huge advantage for them to have both male and female instructors too. If you're female and looking to get mobile on two wheels, Zen will be perfect. This review is also a huge thank you to the team.

Fantastic experience: After other schools cancelled on me I decided to give zen a go. From the second I walked in I knew this was the right place. Drew was my instructor for the day and what a guy he was, the knowledge and tips this guy gave me will set me up for life on two wheels. Not a bad word can be said about this school, if you are looking to learn look no further.

Fantastic experience: Had my CBT training yesterday with Drew from Zen motorbikes. Couldn't have been a better day. Drew provides you with the environment to make you feel relaxed and do your best. The tips you get beyond the standard stuff is priceless. The level of knowledge is top notch he really knows his stuff, but gives it to you in a way that makes you understand and absorb it. It's made fun with the banter but serious when needed. I really appreciated all the help, I did my scooter CBT but will definitely be back to do my motorbike training. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Big Thankyou to Alex, Adele & Drew!! They are not only Excellent instructors with a vast amount of experience and knowledge, but they are also genuinely some of the nicest people who made me feel at home from the minute I steeped through the door. I did my CBT, training, mod1 & mod2 with ZEN and I passed my extended test today. I wouldn't of gone anywhere else.... I was recommended of a friend and now i no why I will definitely be recommending these to anyone who needs a CBT or DAS. THANKYOU for everything!

Fantastic experience: Took my CBT at a local competitor. Was not impressed. Came to Zen on a recommendation from a friend for my full licence, so glad that I did. Great staff and course. Passed first time.

Fantastic experience: Attended my CBT training course here. I’ve never ridden a motorcycle before and was worried I wouldn’t be able to do it. Alex & Laura made me feel comfortable and really helped me understand how to ride and spent lots of time making sure I felt good. Honestly, really can’t thanks these guys enough for a great day. Feel so much more confident and ready to start riding. Definitely recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: This was one of the best decisions I ever made! I was a little nervous walking into this as I’ve never ridden a moped before, but my instructor Drew made me feel very relaxed and safe, and we had lots of laughs which calmed my nerves massively. These guys are really passionate and really know what they are talking about, they give you so much information on how to progress to your next steps too. Go and get yourself signed up for an amazing experience. Don’t be afraid to try new things, you might surprise yourself!

Fantastic experience: The best place to go for your CBT. Had a taster day with Alex and he made me feel at ease and within 5 minutes I was riding with confidence. They have a fantastic teaching style here and a "zen" approach. All the staff are relaxed and it's literally the banter bus which is brilliant. Lovely down to earth people, very friendly and approachable, super helpful and patient. I went on to do my CBT with Drew and passed first time. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better teacher, he was amazing. Top personality, super helpful and made learning fun, who would have thought that a CBT would be so much fun but Drew made it a day out to remember, an adventure. I highly recommend this company, it's great value for money and you get useful tips for buying motorcycles.

Fantastic experience: 5* in every single aspect!! I cannot express how amazing the whole team at Zen is. I spent the day learning with Drew, who is absolutely fantastic, and also a nice guy called Ste who was doing his repeat CBT with me at the time. He has been going back to Zen for years which there itself says a lot. I cannot recommend them enough, hands down the friendliest people I have ever met. I felt so comfortable there and laughed the whole day. A successful day to passing my CBT with a manual bike. Again a massive thanks to Drew who gave me the option to switch from an Auto to a Manual. I can’t wait to book in for further lessons to get my full bike licence. Words can’t express how grateful I am. Thanks so much Drew and everyone else at Zen!

Fantastic experience: From day one of sitting on my first motorbike at Zen to passing MOD2 today on DAS its been amazing, these guys know their stuff, and are encouraging and passionate to the last minute. The support and advice is top notch. Quality experienced Instructors who I felt totally safe with at all times. Don't take my word for it, go get booked in and experience it for yourself.

Fantastic experience: Great training by the amazing and friendly staff. Really attentive and insuring us riders are safe at all times. Helped me pass my CBT for a 5th time. Will definitely be back to do my full license with them

Fantastic experience: Top class service here I can't stress it enough... the guys all make you feel welcome and have a crack. I really enjoyed the experience and the company, drew your a legend mate if you have the pleasure of meeting this bloke he will have you laughing all day long but also he is a great instructor. With his own way of expressing things let's say haha but I highly recommend zen motorcycle training

Fantastic experience: I have an amazing experience doing my CBT on a 125cc. Loads of laughter and banter, chilled environment which help keep you calm and relaxed on the bike. Well as much as you can be for your frist time. Their money about money making scam. Its always 2:1. Ensuring your getting the best coaching on ride. The instructors make sure you can ride, not just to pass the test. Though of course they do perpare you for it obviously. Haha

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT today under supervision of Drew. Great bloke, great tuition and puts safety at the forefront of the training. Dreadful weather, but with Drew's guidance I got my certificate! It's a full day and I'm knackered tonight but chuffed with my achievements. Thank you Zen! Highly recommended ️

Fantastic experience: I chose Zen because I saw they mentioned confidence building lessons on their website and read some good reviews from other nervous riders. I am beyond a nervous rider - frankly I was downright scared after moving to a busy city from the countryside. In one two-hour lesson I left feeling way more confident, and was taught a huge amount of useful information in such a small time. Alex was the instructor I had my lesson with, and it was a fun experience as well as an informative one. I really can't recommend them highly enough. If I get up the courage to try for my full license, I'll definitely be doing it with Zen.

Fantastic experience: Had a great day out with Laura and Drew. Good banter and learnt a lot that has helped me be a more confident rider.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Drew and the team at Zen for getting me through my CBT. I'm in my 50s, completely new to motorbikes, never ridden before, so it didn't come naturally to me. But with Drew's humour, stories and patience I got there! I was dreading the 2 hour road ride, but Drew's advice and guidance kept me safe, and I really enjoyed it. Drew didn't just train me to complete the CBT, but taught me to ride a motorbike. I've already booked in for the Direct Access with Zen later this year once I've got a bot of practice on the 125cc which I've just purchased. Thanks again to all at Zen.

Fantastic experience: Went I as a complete novice came out a full metal biker! Thanks to everyone who helped me Drew, Alex, Adele and Pete, Whole experience was fun but serious as it should be. Have and would recommend.. glad I chose Zen! Many thanks Tin Tin

Fantastic experience: Brilliant school of motorcycling. Trained with Drew and Alex from CBT to Das and they have between them a vault of knowledge and experience that helped me and know so many students that feel the same on their journey to motorbiking with confidence.

Fantastic experience: After completing my CBT and failing my first MOD 1 with another company, they couldn’t fit me in to retake it. I spoke with Alex and came down to Zen so he could assess where I was up to one evening during the week. My 2nd MOD 1 was booked a week later, Adele provided the training on the day and helped with some pointers that made me feel relaxed and ready for the test. Test passed and booked in for the MOD 2 2 weeks later. A few more hours with Adele on the day of the MOD 2 and another pass! Can’t thank everyone at Zen Motorcycle training enough, Alex for taking me on and especially Adele for the training on the day for both MOD 1 & 2. Fantastic place, very relaxed, always happy to help with any questions you might have. If you’re looking to start your training in a relaxed, friendly environment, with great instructors Zen is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: Having had a pre-CBT session before going on to complete my CBT yesterday with Zen, I fully agree with all the positive reviews on here. As a brand new rider lacking in confidence I found the teaching methods and supportive approach from the guys to be really effective. It's a relaxed and friendly environment to learn in and it'll be Zen I turn to when it comes to working towards the full license. Thanks to all at Zen. Update: After sitting out the wetter months, I did go on to the DAS course with Zen and passed my Mod 2 today. The team at Zen make the transition from the 125cc bikes to the bigger bikes really easy and they prepare you thoroughly for both of the tests and I really enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great days cbt training, enjoyed every minute, thanks to everyone at zen, will definitely be back to do full test in near future

Fantastic experience: Went for my cbt, was my first time on a bike. They were very accommodating, professional and friendly. Will definitely go back for my A2 license. Drew and Pedro also shared there knowledge on what bikes to buy and look out for, great guys!

Fantastic experience: Just had a terrific day with Drew doing my CBT. The sun was shining and every traffic light on my way to the training centre turned green as I got to them. 40+ years since owning a motorbike but Drew had me back in the saddle and feeling cofident in next to no time. Later in the day, out into the real world, I was a bit wary at first but with helpful tips and observations in the earpiece we cracked on and enjoyed the ride in the late afternoon sunshine. All in all a bloody good day, looking forward to doing my DAS training.

Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT with Drew. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! Drew is very experienced and helpful and will answer any questions. He was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience enjoyable! Top notch banter and lots of patience from everybody there, they all want you to pass and have a long and safe riding life! Couldn’t recommend highly enough, do some research before hand and you’ll be ready to go! Excited to come back and compete my DAS soon! Thanks!

Fantastic experience: I recently passed my full bike licence and learned to do this at Zen. It was genuinely a really great experience. Alex is an excellent instructor with loads of hilarious stories, not just about biking, but life in general. I'd highly recommend Zen to anybody hoping to start riding and, as they say themselves at Zen, they will teach you to ride, not just pass a test.

Fantastic experience: Drew is an awesome teacher and such a sound guy. After a terrible time at another riding school it’s nice to find somewhere that actually wants to teach people and make you a good rider.

Fantastic experience: Amazing!! Wanted to do my CBT for years, and finally completed it today. Adele was brilliant, really knowledgeable and patient. Definitely the best way to spend the bank holiday, didn't want the day to end. Just need to buy a bike now.

Fantastic experience: Passed my DAS here earlier this year and had the pleasure of being instructed by Alex, Drew and Adele, who were all informative as well as entertaining. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for someone who wants to learn from people who are passionate about what they do

Fantastic experience: What can I say, these guys are f@#king legends! Treated like family from the start and welcomed by all Zen family. Other riding schools don’t even come close to the standard these guys have. What an experience! Top people!

Fantastic experience: Total noob to motorcycles but did my CBT with the lads at Zen and had a blast. Went in understandably apprehensive about how it would go. Came out confident and knowledgeable about getting on the road. Cheers lads

Fantastic experience: Drew and Alex are the perfect instructors. I couldn't even balance on a bike a few months ago and now I have achieved a full cbt in just over 4 sessions. Amazing training instructors that will encourage you to your full potential

Fantastic experience: Came in for my CBT and had never even touched a bike before and yet Drew ,my trainer, was patient with me and helped me through and got me up to and past the level I needed to pass. Couldn’t recommend more. Great place, great people, great bike selection. What more do you need?

Fantastic experience: I booked my CBT here as Zen was recommended by my friend and these guys were awesome. I had no previous experience of riding bikes and they guided me right through my CBT with patience, enthusiasm and the right amount of humour! Just the best bunch of people who will make you feel so comfortable. Cheers Drew and team!

Fantastic experience: I had a great day at Zen doing my CBT, it was very relaxed with a lot of humour, but thoroughly professional by Drew my Instructor. It wasn't just about getting you through the CBT, but teaching you to ride correctly & safely from the start. All the guys at Zen were friendly & encouraging & I would definitely recommend anyone thinking of doing their CBT to book in with Zen. Many thanks, hopefully see you in the not too distant for my DAS.

Fantastic experience: I wouldnt choose any other motorcycle training school. Zen are awesome, anyone who decides to go to Zen will not be disappointed, Alex, Drew, Adele and Laura KNOW what they are doing, great people.

Fantastic experience: Just passed my CBT with Alex, what a top bloke. Instructing skills are brilliant, made to feel at ease from the second you walk in. If you're looking to get yourself a Bike license look no further than Zen. Back for my Das in a few weeks

Fantastic experience: Just amazing!!! I did my cbt at Zen and it was an incredible experience, I learned everything about motorcycles in just one day. The instructor “ginger beard” was very patient at all times, his passion for motorcycles made me go up and want to learn more and more. Thank you all Zen team. Now I feel safe and ready to go on the streets.

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic day really great place to go for your CBT test. Drew is a first class instructor and makes learning fun.

Fantastic experience: Did my cbt over christmas, did my training with drew, I’m a quiet person and drew opened me up Instantly. Had a great day training but due to it being the only day in the year for snow we had to reschedule. Drew got me booked in asap and we tried again. The whole time we was an amazing instructor and he is quite strict into safety for good reasons. I was nervous and he could tell but every peice of advice he gave me worked instantly. He’s got amazing story’s and definitely gave me motivation to go back and pass my A2 so I can have even more fun!

Fantastic experience: Had a great time at zen training with the guys/girls, great bunch of people and full of road and riding knowledge ( they literally know everything). Great place to train if your looking for somewhere relaxed and friendly, gutted I’m not training still to be honest really enjoyed it. Thanks again everyone, see you on the road Ps. If you don’t know the baby shark song, be prepared if you leave your indicators on like I did

Fantastic experience: What can I say. If you’re looking for motorbike training, these are your guys / gals. I’ve just done my CBT, despite storm Eunice the guys just cracked on, with smiles - and the knowledge / experience they have is second to none, and they are so passionate! All delivered in a way that makes you relaxed and ready to ride. I can’t wait to do my DAS, Zen all the way for me. Highly recommended. Shout out to Drew - legend. Baby shark haha. Also went on to pass my Mod 1 and Mod 2 with the excellent training from Adele and Alex - now just got my dream bike - a Harley 883! Cheers guys :)

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic place to do your cbt everyone's friendly, the banter is brilliant and they take you through everything step by step even when you struggle they were so patient. Fantastic I'm definitely going back for the rest of my training! Recommend Zen 100% thank you again for a top day learning to ride

Fantastic experience: Renewed my CBT with drew today and I’ll be honest I went in pretty nervous as I hadn’t seen these guys before and because of the weather emergency breaking was my biggest worry. We had a cracking laugh at the beginning before going onto the car park and during training drew noticed I had a issues turning on one side of my body (left side) I had mentioned I had fallen off my bike hitting that side years ago and he straight up gave me all the advice I could ever need in order to rewire my brain (no judgements, no ridicule just straight up helpful advice). I’ll be honest there’s way too many words for how awesome these guys are and how welcoming they are if you walk in be honest, respect the place like you would your home and just have a laugh, these guys will make sure you have the mindset and the skill to tackle life on a motorbike. You may also learn the lyrics to barbie girl Cracking day and got a lot of respect for you guys once I have done my theory I will be sorting out the next stage with you.

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Adele, Drew and Alex. For making a dream come true. A big thank you to Adele for training me and empowering me to become the rider l am today. I did my CBT Mod 1 and Mod 2 with Zen. The Zen team are so passionate about motorcycling and train students professionally and safely giving you the confidence in yourself to do it on your bad days. I am now a proud Harley Davidson owner. And when l go out on it l have so much pride and excitement l cant contain myself. Zen are absolutley brilliant and come highly recommended xxx
