Cardiff Motorcycle School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Add the best experience, great training with brilliant guys. Highly recommended
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT yesterday with Tony and had such a great day! You first spend about 3 hours in the car park - safety advice about what to wear, components of the bike, then you get to have a go on various manouvres. Into the "classroom" for some highway code and road safety advice before heading out onto local roads with an ear piece so the instructor can talk to you throughout. The bike was great. Well maintained and once explained, simple to use and forgiving on mistakes!
Many thanks. Ride safe and hopefully see you for your full license.
Negative experience: Attended cbt, didn’t teach me how the change gears, turn, how to use clutch or brakes. When I asked questions, answers were very limited. Felt like they just want to get me to redo cbt instead of teaching me. Took me to the road and it was hectic as I didn’t know how to properly use the bike. I don’t recommend.
Fantastic experience: My brother today he passed his mod2 license with Slim at first time, he was very kind and professional 100 person I recommend
Many thanks. Tell him to ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Two days of training, and Mod 2 completed!! Slim and Stef are excellent instructors, very experienced, not much they dont know about motorcycle riding!! Highly recommend Cardiff Motorcycle School, Hadfield Rd, Cardiff.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Completed my Mod2 after a very delayed time with other commitments, however Stef and Slim are top notch instructors I would highly recommend Cardiff Motorcycle School, located on Hadfield Road, Cardiff. I completed my CBT back 2023 then finally my Mod2 this week with a first time pass, I was very nervous on my first day of training with Stef on Saturday but he gives great information and training to digest over the weekend, Then on the Monday I was still a bit edgy in the morning of the test, but slim has a way of putting your nerves at ease. Fantastic instructors. Thank you both I will see you in the New year for the advanced riders course.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and the best training you could ask for. I passed both mod 1 and mod 2 here without any problems. I do recommend you go here if you want the best training and advice on getting your motorcycle licence.
Many thanks. Ride safe.

Fantastic experience: Can’t thank Slim & Tony enough for their help. From booking my CBT back in July to passing my Mod2 last week. The gents were top notch, super knowledgeable, friendly and just a great laugh in general! Would highly recommend them as a training school. My only regret is that I didn’t book sooner! Ride safe gents! A
Many thanks. Ride safe also.
Fantastic experience: Huge thanks to Slim and Tony. They made the whole process of getting my license really fun and also really informative at the same time. Definitely recommend to anyone even if you’re nervous to start. Top guys to learn from. Will hopefully be returning soon to do my ERS course.
Many thanks. Ride safe and see you soon.
Fantastic experience: I would like to say THANK YOU for getting me through my direct access licence. Your knowledge, experience and great communication skills helps me pass all my test within 1st time!!!! Before the tests when I was watching YouTube videos, I thought it will be my worst nightmare but with CMS it was very enjoyable experience. It was a pleasure to learn to ride with you. Thanks again and see you on the road.
Many thanks. Ride safe
Fantastic experience: Fantastic riding & passing experience at CMS. Specail thanks to "slim" the riding instructor who made the whole experience enjoyable ! Filled with knowledge & expertise i learnt alot from him & had fun along the way. Would highly recommend this riding school ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Happy riding slim , stay safe ! Cheers Arron
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Big shoutout to Slim and Tony. I came to these guys with absolutely no experience. Did my cbt, passed my theory first time, passed mod1 first time and then passed mod2 first time. I can’t recommend these guys enough. Taught me everything I know and genuine guys. Thank you
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Slim I just want to say a massive thankyou. You saw my eagerness and thanks to you I have a whole new independence on my moped ☺️. You are the best!
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: I can’t give these guys enough credit. Absolutely brilliant teacher/ instructors, if you show them that you’re keen to learn they’ll do as much as they can to help you and the bike that I learned on were brilliant.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with CMS. Started late last year with my CBT and passed my Mod2 today. I would like to give a huge thanks to Tony and Slim. Fantastic instructors and also a good laugh. Very helpful with guiding you through the days, explaining and help to rectify anywhere that may be your weak points in riding. Hopefully see you on the roads soon guys Thank you. Ride safe
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: At 50yrs old and a 5ft female, I approached CMS to teach me to ride. First morning, I came off bike 3 times. But, instructors were supportive and approachable. Using skill and patience, they broke down the training I needed into steps I could manage; balance, awareness, safety, braking, gears etc. this provided me confidence. I am happy I passed CBT with them and look forwards to returning to complete my DAS after practicing on my 125cc bike. I highly recommend CMS to anyone wanting to learn to ride a bike, even if you are quite nervous! Thank you, CMS.
Many thanks ride safe.
Fantastic experience: I would like to thank the instructors for their patience and encouragement throughout my time practicing. I really struggled with the confidence to pass MOD 2 and failed a few times but they all reassured me and persisted with me till I passed. A special thanks to the legend Tony who took the time to explain my mistakes over and over and guided me through improving. My experience has been incredibly positive throughout and I would recommend this school to anyone looking to get riding.
Congratulations and Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Just like to thank you all for getting me through my mod1 and mod2 gave me valuable time in your tutorial and insight and knowledge Thanks again
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: It was excellent meeting with Stef and Simon who are extremely knowledgeable and patient. I contacted them for a back to biking course and completed it today. They were both personable and happy to speak about anything including helping me go through general maintenance that I could do myself. I’ll be booking my enhanced riding course with them in the future.
Ride safe. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: Having had no previous experience on anything other than a 125 for a day to complete my CBT in November 2023, I decided to finally go for my full license after over a decade of putting it off. I started my MOD 1 training on the 26th May 2024 and have now obtained my full license thanks to Tony at Cardiff Motorcycle School. Tony is a fantastic instructor, with a calm, patient and friendly approach. The way in which he explains how to ride as you ride, with verbal cues and positivity really makes what can be a daunting experience to novices like me a real pleasure. I can't speak highly enough of his guidance and humour throughout the MOD 1 and 2 courses. I'd also like to thank Slim, who took 1 of my MOD 1 training days instead of Tony. Like Tony, Slim made the whole experience a pleasure, with encouragement and humour. Thank you both very much
Many thanks ride safe
Fantastic experience: I had my CBT today with Slim as my instructor. Having never ridden a bike before I was unsure of what to expect, but any nerves I had were quickly dismissed as Slim talked us through what to expect for the day. After that we got stuck in and the whole thing flowed smoothly. The instructions were clear and direct with a good explanation of how to & why for. Within a few hours I felt more knowledgeable and confident on the bike so we went out in to traffic. The 2 routes chosen gave a mix of traffic conditions & served to boost my confidence. Over all a great day and a fantastic experience. If you are considering doing your CBT, you can't go wrong with Cardiff Motorcycle School.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Recently completed my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 with Cardiff Motorcycle School. Failed Mod 1 the first time but persevered thanks to the encouragement and tuition from Slim and the other instructors (Stef and Tony).Thanks in particular to Slim who did all of my lessons and for answering all of my annoying questions! Really great admin and communication too for arranging lessons and tests around work. Thanks all, looking forward to getting out on my bike!
Many thanks. Ride safe
Fantastic experience: Big thank you to cardiff motorcycle school great team.especially slim. Cheers
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: just passed my CBT with Tony. It was a really good enjoyable day. I’m very grateful to Tony for being very patient and making the whole experience really fun. I left wanting to get out on the road asap to practice my new skills. We need more female bikers so any women that are looking into riding- I highly recommend it!! Will probably come back to train for my full motorcycle license in the future!
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: I have just finished a brilliant experience with Cardiff Motorcycle school. I started in January by doing my CBT with Slim. I had no prior experience on a bike other than a scrambler in a farmers field at the age of 16. Slim took me from zero experience whatsoever in January to a pass on my mod 2 by the end of April. I didn't have a bike to ride between my training days with them so my pass is genuinely 100 percent all down to what slim did with me on the training days. He was an absolute legend throughout and I genuinely couldn't have done it without his patience, cutting wit and regular tellings off! Tony was also a brilliant instructor who took me down to Newport on the day of my Mod 1. A calming influence just before we went onto the yard he was the perfect man for the job on that day. Thank you so much chaps, you are genuinely brilliant blokes and great teachers!
Many thanks. Ride safe
Fantastic experience: The instructors here are fantastic came here for my A2 licence training and my A licence training and I've passed them both with Clean sheets all the knowledge and skills these guys have taught me has not been forgotten even though there was a 2 year gap. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say that working with these guys to complete my cbt / mod1 / mod2 has been one of the most funny and enjoyable experiences of my life and I can’t recommend them enough Lots of laughs and banter and I’m sure I’ll be popping in for a cuppa here and there (with biscuits) of course If I had to sum them up it would have to be a mix of a professional riding school mixed with top gear lol Steph Slim Tony argue among your selves who’s who lol Thank you boys for getting me through it and putting up with me Dean
Many thanks ride safe. Top gear lol I know who I am.
Fantastic experience: Great day doing my CBT. Slim was excellent and made the day really enjoyable and fun despite the drizzle! Thoroughly recommended for anyone wanting to learn
Many thanks ride safe
Fantastic experience: Did my Mod 1 and Mod 2 training and test with Cardiff Motorcycle School. Training was excellent and they arranged both tests for me with a really short turn around. They have great local knowledge too, and happy to share with the learners. Can't fault them at all and will seriously consider doing enhanced rider with them.
Many thanks ride safe
Fantastic experience: Having completed my CBT right through to my MOD 2 I can say that that the boys at Cardiff Motorcycle School are fantastic at what they do their continued patience and expertise of the road was vital during the learning process and strongly recommend using them. Thank you for everything boys.
Many thanks ride safe
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Tony who is an absolute LEGEND! If you’re ever nervous or need some TLC with your confidence! Tony is your guy!! Got me through my Mod 1 & 2 and even got me doing tricks to improve confidence and control! Thank you #tonythelegend
Many thanks ride safe
Fantastic experience: Completed both mod 1 and mod 2 with these guys. Did both training with slim and he has an excellent way of teaching and he reassures you all the way through. Steph took me to do my mod 1 in Newport and again has a amazing knowledge of what is required for you to pass. I had slim for my mod 2 training and test and is a truly nice guy and knows what they look for on test and I was a wreck of nerves whilst sat in test centre and he kept reassuring me to ride like I have in training and every thing will be OK. To top it all off I passed yesterday afternoon with flying colours thank you so much slim I'm still on cloud nine and I did take the zzr out for a little run when I got home and didn't wanna get off. Cheers again to all the guys at Cardiff Motorcycle School
Many thanks ride safe
Fantastic experience: Great place to do CBT. Trained with Slim, who has a wealth of knowledge, is calm and reassuring and teaches you just not what you need to know but what you want to know to have a successful biking future. As a short female rider learned loads in terms of best bikes and riding style. Thanks for all your encouragement to get me through!
Many thanks ride safe
Fantastic experience: All the instructors know their stuff and gave me good advice. I’d definitely recommend them.

Many thanks ride safe
Fantastic experience: From no experience to my mod 2. Tuesday cbt. Wednesday mod1 training. Thursday mod1 test. Saturday & Monday mod 2 training and test. Bikes riden.. cbt were yamaha 125.. Mod 1 & 2 were suzuki gladius sv650.. Tony is patient and persistent. Not afraid to push you through your paces and definitely not shy when telling you your mistakes and trust me when I say this guy sees everything. Day of mod 1 test I had a different instructor "stefan" again this guy is on the ball. Eyes in the back of his head and is constantly encouraging you. Praising when your right and quick to point out your mistakes. When I got to test centre I went to sh!t but Stefan was relaxed and reassured me calming my nerves with banter. 3 Learner riders went down that morning and all 3 passed. Mod 2 training was again with toni and test day was Slim. 3 amazing riders with a great skill set. Being from newport i have a good choice of motorcycle schools but i wanted recommendations and suggestion after suggestion was cardiff motorcycle school. All in all this was the best choice of motorcycle school I could have gone with. Thank you so much for the time and effort you guys have put into me over the 5 of days of riding highly recommended for complete beginners
Many thanks ride safe
Fantastic experience: Passed MOD 1 and MOD 2 within two weeks with the help of Tony and Slim. Professional and experienced instructors. My only prior experience of riding was my CBT which was 6 months ago, so I was basically starting from scratch. Would highly recommend CMS.
Many thanks ride safe
Fantastic experience: The best place in UK to learn and pass your test! Amazing instructors I learnd a lot from them The experience they gave me It was more than Mod 1 and Mod 2 to pass! it was helpful for me to stay safe on the road I can't find word to explain how good they are Super friendly instructors as well and joyful to hit the road with them Highly recommended 10 out of 10 Thanks for all the support you gave me Honestly appreciate it Soliman

Fantastic experience: Thank you to my instructors for their calm patience - this along with first class instruction from them, saw me pass my Mod1 and Mod2 first time and within 3 weeks of each other! I hope this review helps to encourage anyone contemplating taking their bike licence, especially women…….ps don’t let age be a barrier either .
Many thanks ride safe
Fantastic experience: Cardiff Motorcycle School is beyond amazing, went from no motorcycle experience at all, doing my Theory test in June, completing CBT, Mod 1, and finally passing my A2 licence Mod 2 on the 24th of October. I can’t recommend this school enough, Slim, Tony and Stefan are great guys, and amazing instructors. 100% coming back to them when I’m ready for my Full A Licence upgrade :) Now, with my own bike and riding alone with the knowledge they’ve given me, all I can say is… Thank you CMS!
Many thanks ride safe

Fantastic experience: Great training school, really enjoyed both Mod1 and Mod2 training, had all 3 of the guys take me out over the course of the 2 modules and I don’t have any complaints at all. Brilliant trainers, had good conversations with them as people as well as in their capacity as instructors, would recommend to anyone!
Many thanks. Ride safe.

Fantastic experience: Passed my mod 2 today thanks to this school. Instructors are amazing and friendly. They give alot of information. I had been riding for years but learned so much from slim and Tony. Couldn't have asked for better instructors.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Really positive experience doing CBT, Mod and Mod 2 with CMS. The office always called back if they couldn't take a call, the bikes were always ready to go for the training and the 3 instructors knowledgeable and friendly. Great experience and I would definitely recommend.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic motorcycle school. Stefan has the patience of a saint and did a great job of calming my nerves for my mod1. I was still a bit nervous but that's down to the pressure I put on myself plus the fact I've already bought my Ninja 650 and I can't ride it until I've done mod2! I also learned quite a bit on mod2 riding from Stefan on the ride to the test centre and I looking forward to going back in a few weeks for the mod2 training. I can't recommend these guys enough!
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Attended Cardiff Motorcycle School for my CBT. Tony was a fantastic instructor, very calm, knowledgeable and helpful.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Great guys Very patient and thorough. Would definitely recommend!
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Instructors are brilliant, friendly and precise! Very good experience with these guys. Best in Cardiff!
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend enough! I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am to have gotten my CBT on a manual first time with the most amazing and most patient instructors. Having no experience on a motorcycle at all and being the only female I was absolutely trembling with nerves. Tony made sure I was okay and comfortable to continue every step of the way with no pressure at all - no amount of questions was ever too much. Training was completely relaxed and fun with lots of laughs throughout. Made some lovely friends on the course and will 1000% be doing the rest of my license with these guys. Thank you!
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: literally passed my test today, and it is all down to the guys at CMS for having the patience to train me! the training was very relaxed, and they certainly know what they were talking about.. can't wait to get on my first big bike now!
Many thanks. Ride safe
Fantastic experience: Thanks Cardiff Motorcycle School for all your help, I'm over the moon at getting me my full license. My only regret is doing my CBT through another school, I wish I'd gone straight to Stefan, Slim and Tony. I can't recommend these guys enough. Thanks Again!
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely can not recommend these guys enough. From CBT to a full license pass! Fantastic training!
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: What a truly wonderful team of very experienced instructors. Having never ridden a motorbike to completing my CBT, then passing both Mod 1 & 2, these guys where amazing. Training is relaxed, tailored and fun without compromising on every detail of safe riding. If you want to learn properly, Just go to these guys. Thanks Stefan, Slim and Tony, wish I could do it again.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Negative experience: Did my CBT here as a first time rider didn't find it very informative. The instructor rushed through alot of things and I felt like we where being rushed through things. I watched some videos online about CBTs where there was class room based learning and then sessions on the bikes this was nothing like that all done very quickly in a carpark next to a football centre in the carpark with the instructor reading off a book out the back of his bike was then left sitting around left to do nothing for 2 hours while the instructor took 2 riders out then took us out later in the afternoon. this time could of been spent in a classroom with another instructor learning more rather than sitting around for 2 hours after having just paid £160. Overall I was very nervous on the road and nearly had 1 or 2 accidents but the instructor was patient with me at this point and it did give me more confidence towards then end of the 2 hours on the road and I did pass my CBT but I don't feel very confident or safe on the road after doing this and would probably look to book my CBT somewhere else in the future and will definitely be looking for a bit more training or additional help from somewhere before I feel I can go out on the road just yet.
Fantastic experience: Many Thanks to Steph, Slim & Tony for training me up to pass. Amazing setup & very professional! My other family members have used Cardiff Motorcycle School in the past & so did it. Will continue to recommend to anyone who wants to do their test. 5/5*
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t have chosen a better bunch to train with, it’s not just about passing the tests (which I eventually did) it’s also about keeping safe on the roads. I thought I was an alright rider when I started my cbt but quickly learned I needed some serious polishing. The guys at CMS broke that down and rebuilt the way I ride and approach certain situation on the road in a constructive manner. Their is nothing the three of these blokes don’t know about riding, maintenance, and rules of motorcycling in the uk, and if they don’t it’s probably not worth knowing. Absolutely loved my experience with these guys, no dbout in my mind if I had to do it all again train with CMS again. Gotta go I’m off to Brecon
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: This is a great place to do your riding training. They are more about teaching how to ride and think instead of how to pass the test of CBT. Friendly and helpful, I highly recommended this place.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Top class training and good people. Sorted me out from CBT to mod 2 which I passed today first time. Thanks for all the help, see you on the roads!
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: An absolutely Brilliant team down at Cardiff Motorcycle School! Always Very professional, yet deliver training in a calm and relaxed manner allowing you to get the best out of your riding days. All training is tailored to your specific learning styles and the vast wealth of experience and knowledge passed on by the instructors is second to none! The bikes and kit are always clean, well maintained and ready to go for every new rider. Thanks again to the team down at CMS! 5*
Many thanks. Ride safe.

Fantastic experience: Passed my MOD 2 thanks to these guys on Monday - superb tuition from Slim who made the whole experience really fun and kept our nerves at bay thanks to his down to earth approach. Easily the best training I’ve received across CBT, MOD1 and MOD2, and they train you to pass well and not just pass! Couldn’t recommend more.
Many thanks Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: When looking for a riding school back in March, not many schools picked up or called back. Stefan however, had the courtesy to talk me through the whole process over the phone, answering all my questions with patience till I'd got the full picture. CBT was with Slim on the 125s, he trained us well how to ride a 125 on the road and through the test course. Mod 1 a month later with Tony on the 650s. Calm instructions and a light hearted approach helped with nerves about riding an 80hp machine. Next day, we rode the bikes down to the test centre in Newport with Stephan 07:00, he gave us extra training on the way before the test. I passed Mod 1 and Stefan continued to coach us as we rode back to Cardiff. Stefan didn't need to do that, we hadn't yet paid for Mod 2 training. All these teachers are good, you learn without getting up tight. Someone had dropped out of a mod 2 booking, so lucky for me a few days later it was mod 2 training with Slim over the Saturday pm and Monday morning before the test. We gradually worked through correcting errors and by the test I felt ready. Despite having several major brain farts in the test, I passed. Slim was genuinely stoked I had passed! On the ride back we hit the motorway for a blast up to 70! My life as a biker had begun. Thanks guys, you're doing something that brings a lot of joy to people's lives.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: never riden a motorbike before, did my cbt, VERY good teacher
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Negative experience: Don’t bother guys they’re so busy this days even can’t speak to you they never answer the phone not ether goes to answer machine. I went twice to their office says no one there. I left my phone number they’re even bothered to call back.
Fantastic experience: They got me through the CBT, Mod1 and Mod2 this week with very little prior experience on a bike (moped 14 years ago). They have a great bunch of guys instructing, good equipment and facilities, and I'm pleased to say I passed it all first time. Thanks again.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Having begun my motorcycle training in the summer of 2020, i passed my CBT and wanted to progress through to a full licence. Cardiff Motorcycle School are the third company I have used locally, and by far have been the most professional and accurate in their method of delivering the right training for the individual new rider. I had my own niche of problems and the staff were able to highlight and remedy these for me, as now I am the owner of a full motorcycle license. I have decided to join them again in the future for further advanced training, to be honest why would I go elsewhere. Thankyou and keep up the good work. James.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Hi everyone I done my mod1 and mod 2 training and passed both tests with Cardiff motorcycle school i would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for any type of motorcycle training they are an absolutely great bunch never made me feel uncomfortable always having a laugh which made my experience brilliant thanks very much cardiff motorcycle school
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely excellent. I gained my CBT just over a week ago. I was incredibly nervous, never having properly rode a motorbike before. I was immediately put at ease, although the safety aspects were a little scary! But even though I didn't feel confident enough to ride a geared bike on the day, and opted for an automatic, my instructor took the time to clarify what I would be doing on a geared bike during our rides, and even took the time out before the course to let me have a go changing gears off road. He was a wealth of knowledge, and now I'm practicing on a 125cc geared bike, some of the tips are invaluable. Looking forward to being confident enough to start my full licence! Just wanted to update 3 months later. I'm a fully confident riding a geared bike, the advice I got was amazing, and the transition was almost seamless. Going to go for a proper licence with these guys.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Great instructers; Steph, Tony and Slim. Tell/show you what you need to pass, not massage your ego. Thought I was good enough to pass without the extra practice, thank god I went with CMS. Loads of bad habits in my riding that would have failed me in my mod 2 straight away. Cant recommend enough, top set of guys who genuinely want you to pass. Ended up passing with no minors, never would have achieved that without the extra tuition and knowledge. Cheers guys and see you out on the road!
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to all of you guys for your help from Cbt through to passing mod 2. Look forward to a ride out with you soon.
Many thanks. Ride safe.
Fantastic experience: what a great bunch of guys here stef, tony and slim, all three are very knowledgeable in all areas of the motorcycle world, from CBT through to MOD2 they have so much patients and nothing is to much trouble for them. i would like to thank all three for their help and would highly recommend their training skills no matter what level you think you are, i have become far more observant both on the bike and in my car all thanks to these guys
Many thanks. Ride safe.
