Fantastic experience: Helped me pass my mod1 and mod2 first time. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have just past my cbt with global and Tony was my instructor and he was brilliant if there was something I did not understand then he wouldn’t hesitate to go over it again. Honestly every one there was incredible, amazing experience 10/10
Fantastic experience: Great
Fantastic experience: I did my cbt 2 weeks ago, my instructor was really patient, pointed out what I needed to do and work on, it was easy to book and was quite straight forward on what you needed to do but the most important part was the 10/10 coffee they made for me would definitely recommend to do you're test and buy gear from.
Fantastic experience: I had a good fun experience here a good day of fun the instructors are patient and happy to help they try their best to keep you calm and to have a nice experience on the road
Fantastic experience: Competed my cbt here, instructors took their time and taught me how to do the correct things, considering this is my first time riding I highly recommend this place
Fantastic experience: They are very professional, I had a really nice experience, learned a lot and at the end of the course I got my CBT, and I’m definitely going back next year to take my full motorcycle license
Thank you it was a pleasure

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic experience taking my cbt with Gary and Steve. Incredibly helpful, great at teaching and all round great day. Will be back to take my full bike test shortly.

Hi Ryan not too sure what you mean but thank you for the four stars,if you can could you please let us kn ow what the issue was . kind regards
Fantastic experience: Today I completed my CBT at Global Motorcycles , and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. The instructors were amazing—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about teaching. They made the training engaging and easy to understand, ensuring that I felt confident and well-prepared by the end of the course.
Fantastic experience: Passed my cbt test today, both instructors were very professional and friendly and training. Highly recommended
thank you Abdul good luck with your riding
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT here and they were amazing, incredibly friendly, amazing humour, and very very forgiving, they don’t make it feel like a test and really do a good job making you feel at ease, if i had to do my CBT again i would 1000% go here again
Fantastic experience: Passed my cbt test today, both instructors were very professional and friendly and training session was very informative thats why we passed the test by following instructions. Highly recommended to get a CBT from them.
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT, Great training, dedication and commitment to get you on the road. Always focused on your safety. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Fantastic experience: The instructors were friendly and helpful as well as very informative, definitely going back
Fantastic experience: Did my cbt today with global and I’d like to say top quality people and service. Defo would recommend
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the day, instructors where informative and easy to get along with, the day was enjoyable and was planned out well would highly recommend and will be coming back to do my DAS, thanks guys!
Fantastic experience: Great friendly, helpful team at The Bike Shed, Colchester. Had my 23 plate Tiger 900 6 month service done by them. Very competitively priced, and they did it on a Saturday morning, where as the Triumph main dealer didn't do weekend servicing .
Fantastic experience: Great group of people, re took my CBT yesterday and was a pleasure, always helpful and safe. Look forward to being back soon. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Took my CBT again yesterday and completed it and passed. I learnt more this time round. It was amazing how far the business has come BUT I had a very good day out and the weather was perfect. Steve was very good at teaching myself and the group with explaining it well enough so we could understand as well as showing us a demo of the training course if needed. He was patient with all of us and was very welcoming polite and well spoken. He clearly has a big passion for teaching and his love for motorbikes is clear. It was good to be back and see Gary after 4 years and he's just such a nice and welcoming owner so can't thank him enough and it was nice that he came along with our group out on the roads. Robert was outstanding and was very clear to hear over the radio and the energy was there when teaching us. He could see I was determined to get the U turn correct in Wich I was able too after going over a few tries. Robert knew I was patient on the roundabouts because after all oncoming vehicles are dangerous and it isn't a rush. I just need to revise Highway Code a bit more and work on confidence on the roads which will become second nature eventually. I will be back for my MOD 1 & MOD 2. I can't thanked each and everyone of you for yesterdays CBT.
It was a pleasure to see our students progressing so well and very nice to hear that the instructors leave such a lasting good impression.Thank you jamie Regards Gary
Fantastic experience: Very kind and professional people, fixed my KTM after being stolen and recovered, from start to finish excellent work would recommend %.
Thank you Nicholas safe riding
Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT today with Global. They fitted both me and my brother in at very fast and we had a great day training. All the staff were patient and extremely knowledgeable answering all questions we asked. Took us from never riding a motorcycle to riding a fully geared 125 safely. Will be coming back to complete my DAS. Highly recommend.
Thanks Elliot hope to see you both soon for your DAS

Fantastic experience: Just passed my CBT today, it was my first time riding in England road Had troubles with the roundabouts, where and when to stop on the road but the instructor was so amazing he guided me though out the time. Might have pulled over at the side of the road couple of times to explain some bits but he was really patient with me, I can see that he wants the students to learn and understand everything the road can throw. Appreciated the entire team of Global MT. 10/10 would recommend this school. They even fired up the fireplace when me and the other students where freezing cold
thank you Rainfield ,stay warm sir
Fantastic experience: That was lovely people working in there. I got my CBT certificate and right after i passed my both test for A Licence at once. James is amazing instructor, thanks for everything. Highly recommended.
thank you Umit it was a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic time completing MOD 1 and MOD 2 training and tests with James at Global. He was very patient with me as a novice rider, very friendly and approachable. All the team at Global were excellent at helping me get training and test dates sorted. Would definitely recommend these guys to anyone thinking about completing CBT or full licence. Thanks again!
Thanks Chris it was a pleasure :)
Fantastic experience: This is the best and only proper motorcycle school in Colchester - I did my CBT with another local outfit based in a container next to the football stadium which had no facilities, terrible customer service (ie couldn't manage basics like answering emails / booking tests) whereas Global is well managed, has all the facilities you need, is cost competitive and most importantly has excellent instructors - recommend ! *I completed a DAS course with James.
Thank you Theo, it was a pleasure. Enjoy your bike. James @ Global
Fantastic experience: Very good instructors had a great time
Cheers Harvey :)
Fantastic experience: Hi, I just passed my CBT and i must say that Tony was absolutely amazing from start to finish and i can not recommend him enough. And the all the TEAM was really friendly and make me feel welcomed. Highly recommend Global Motorcycle Training.
Thank you Andrei it was a pleasure :)
Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT today! Good practice bikes, not just some make-do bangers to pass people on. Great teaching from James, who had a lot of patience, expertise, and felt safe on the road under his instruction. Highly recommend if starting bike career. The centre sells bikes/equipment, as well as has MOT workshop, so is a great hub that can get you moving in the right direction as quick as you need to get 2 wheels on the road.
Cheers Billy much appreciated :)
Fantastic experience: Sat my CBT last week with Global motorcycles. Couldn’t fault the instructors whatsoever, they were fantastic. They were very patient.
A pleasure Holly.

Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend global motorcycle training.

Negative experience: Hi I'm Phillip, happily married man, father of two great boys. I have been encouraging my family to complete their CBT for ages. Trouble is, with all their busy schedules, we've struggled to pin a date down. fortunately 'Global Motorcycle' training took our booking. However.... Turns out that it doesn't matter how much that you try and protect or educate your children in the best use of their vocabulary. when you book a CBT with global motorcycles, they end up filling in all the expletive blanks for you. to make the statement, I quote "if your bothered by bad language, you can get our now" was truly unacceptable. to summarise, they all passed the day course. but, had I known what they endured to get their, I would have found a more professional outfit. what hillbilly's. family of 4 mum, dad and two beautiful boys, who now know lots of useful swear words. really grown up outfit. Well done Global Motorcycle's for managing to teach more derogatory language to my young family than actual motorcycle experience. legends!! I'm looking forward to telling all my motorcycle acquaintances after 25 years of riding about my choice of school. sure their be telling their mates, "hopefully"
well if you have read this far you will see that we cannot please everyone although we try our best at all times
Fantastic experience: Overall great experience with great instructors. Strongly recommend!
Thank you Atanas
Fantastic experience: Great friendly staff trained me no experience to road ready!

Fantastic experience: Hi I'm very happy to have completed my CBT with Global. The instructors are professional, friendly, helpful, supportive & approachable. The service provided is top quality & am recommending them as a first choice. Thank you for starting me off with a sound foundation in motorcycling guys. I will build on this with another course in Spain
Thank you Sarah it was a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: Super nice and very patient instructors. Explained everything to the smallest detail. Honestly couldn’t of asked for a better experience. Highly recommend going here for ur cbt test
Thank you Krystian

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT for the 5th or 6th time with Global back in April. A great bunch, make you feel very at ease. Very knowledgeable and experienced, I'm looking forward to doing my Mod 1 and 2 with them. Did my second CBT with them about 15 years ago now and appart from one other time and a small period of non riding, been to these guys every time. Well recommended.

Fantastic experience: Thanks James for help with passing my CBT. I look forward to my further bike training with you for my full licence some time in the near future.
Thank you Matt we look forward to seeing you.
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my full bike license today and honestly I don't think I can ever thank James or the staff here for everything they've done for me! As someone who had driven a car for almost 12 years I was very nervous getting on 2 wheels, but I did my CBT with James Nov 2021 and he was very attentive to me during my first time on a geared bike. I started the DAS 3 weeks ago and honestly I came on leaps and bounds due to James' training. I am VERY happy with the training I got from James and the service from the team in general! I cannot, once again, thank them enough! Highly recommend!!!
Thanks Jay it was a pleasure ,James

Thank you Damian
Fantastic experience: I had my CBT with Global Motorcycle Training today (17/11/2021). And I would strongly recommend them, if you hire a bike from them they use smart modern bikes which are easy to use. The instructor that I had today was Steve and I found him to be very patient and explain things extremely well. It made it an enjoyable day and a good experience. And afterwards I ended up with gaining my CBT so it was a good day all round. Plus the price of taking your CBT with them from what I found from looking online they are also the cheapest I saw, and the best.
Thankyou very much Mark :)
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Global Motorcycle Training I passed my bike test today. The staff are very helpful, friendly from Cbt too full bike licence the Training was fantastic and could not have done this without your help, can't recommend these guy's highly enough
