Karmenz Motorcycle Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Excellent training. Karl, Andy and Rich are all extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend to anyone. Top fellas. Cheers chaps. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for a great review. Enjoy your biking
Fantastic experience: Excellent motorcycle training with these guys. Great instructors to get you through all aspects of your training and start of your motorcycle journey. Passed my 5.5 day DAS course first time all due to Karl being Firm but fair with my riding. Can’t recommend them enough
Cheers buddy, fantastic review, enjoy the biking
Fantastic experience: Great instructors with plenty of experience, well planned session for beginners
Thank you for the Review. Enjoy your biking
Fantastic experience: Honestly, 10/10 for everyone here, went here for my CBT 2 years ago and recently came back for my direct access to get my A licence, the instructors were super kind, and helpful, explained everything clearly, and when I failed my Mod 1 offered me additional training so I could get booked back in and passed asap, to which I did and now have my full license Thanks Andy, Karl and Rich! Incredible work from everyone
Brilliant review, always appreciated. Enjoy the full licence
Fantastic experience: Amazing few days learning and training under Karl and the Team. Absolutely buzzing I passed my MOD 2 today ✌️ Thanks for the tuition and knowledge shared. All the best ✨️
Cheers for a great review. Enjoy having a full licence
Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT after a previous bad experience and losing my confidence with another motorbike training school. Rich has the patience of a saint. Andy, Karl and Rich have a wealth of knowledge and I now can ride my bike with confidence. Thank you all so much
Thank you for a fantastic review. I'll let Richard know you had a great time. Enjoy your biking
Fantastic experience: I completed my DAS 4.5 day course with Karl, Andy and Rich. I mostly rode with Karl but was nice to receive advice and tips about gear and first bikes from all 3. Karl is a firm and knowledgeable instructor, if you make a mistake I’m sure you’ll know about it. The previous company I done my CBT with was very disorganised and the bikes were in terrible condition. The bikes at karmenz are newer and in far better condition. I was swiftly moved from the 125 to the Z650 with a day or two which gave me lots of confidence. Don't be scared of the bigger bikes, they inspire much more confidence in you than the 125s. Would highly recommend Karmenz to anyone who wants to do anything bike related. Im sure ill pop in once I decide what bike I want - cheers boys.
Thank you for a great review, you've now got the fun bit a head of you, bike shopping
Fantastic experience: Great experience learning to ride with Andy, Rich & Karl. Passed my mod 1 & 2 first time - in 5 days of tuition having never even sat on a bike before. Also, some great practical advice about gear and what to buy, really appreciated the advice of experienced bikers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karmenz to anybody looking to learn to ride - I quickly got up to a decent standard, helping me along the way with my fear of going more than 50 mph! Thx gents.
Great review, thank you. Glad you enjoyed the course. Now the best bit. Getting a bike. Have fun
Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of earning my CBT on the 10th with karmenz through Andy, a brilliant instructor that gave me and the other student incredible confidence on the day to ride safely on the road. Ensuring we were knowledgeable in both the safety and the fun that can be had on bikes, and some of the best stories! I look forward to coming back in the future to get ready for my full license! 10/10 thanks guys!
Thanks for the great review. Really glad you enjoyed your cbt. I'll let Andy know. Have fun biking.
Fantastic experience: I'd recommend to anyone trying to get their motorcycle license. Really good staff that make you feel relaxed, top brand and well maintained bikes (no chinese copy bikes), clear and perfect pace of training and you can burrow gear (if you need!) Thank you very much guys!
Pleasure Phil, thanks for a great review.
Fantastic experience: One of the easiest 5 star reviews that I’ve given. I have recently passed my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 with training from Karl, Andy and Richard over a 4.5 day course and loved every minute of it! I’ve wanted to ride a motorbike for years and finally got the opportunity to learn and after being recommended to learn at Karmenz, I called them discussed my ability and booked - only having to wait 4 weeks to start. All of the trainers here are great, I spent most of time learning with Karl and not only learned and increased my ability to ride far quicker than I thought possible but also had a great time. It felt like we were just a couple of mates hanging out on bikes and talking about the ride each day - which is what i want from biking in general! Karl has a great way of putting you at ease when on the test days and you can really tell that he has been doing this for years and loves his job. Passed my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 on the first attempt on a 4.5 day course with some riding experience previously and would highly recommend. Lastly, would also like to add that the bikes themselves are well maintained and good quality bikes - easy to learn on.
What a fantastic review Rob. Really appreciated. Glad you had a top time on your course. Make sure you pop down with your bike when you get. Looking forward to seeing what you get. Although I've a fairly good idea
Fantastic experience: after doing my CBT with karmenz last year I was never in any doubt that I'd be going back to karmenz to do my direct access course which I have just passed and finished today first time on both mod 1 and mod 2. karl, Andy and Richard are highly professional and made the course enjoyable to be on. highly recommend coming here for any bike training. I'll be recommending to anyone looking to do it in the future. thanks again
Thanks for the great review Dean. Always appreciated. Have fun biking.
Fantastic experience: I struggled and got extremely frustrated during my first go of my CBT. I ended up coming back and this time it was much easier. To be fair I used the scooter and when it was time to go in the road, Andy was great and put me at ease. Patience of a Saint. Got my CBT in the end. Guys know what they’re doing and are very good at their job. Would and have recommended people to use them.
Thank you, for a great review. I'll let Andy know. Have fun on the road.
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT in march after not riding for 10 years and the instructors all make you feel confident and properly help you. Been back for my mod 1 and mod 2 in September and one again same story they really inspire confidence and really help you on bits you might be struggling with, excellent place to learn to do all your tests and brilliant team that just want to see you pass. Thank you
Cheers for a amazing review, always welcome
Fantastic experience: Couldn't ask for Any better training. Best if the best
Cheers Charley, thank you for the great rating. Have tons of fun biking
Fantastic experience: Just passed with katmenz. It was a well organised and they gave good feedback to get you ready for the test.
Cheers Nathan, appreciate the review
Fantastic experience: From never riding a bike to fill license, the whole process was excellent, direct access course was great and the lads made it an amazing experience teaching us to ride and making it fun. I would recommend karmenz to anyone who is looking to gain a motorbike license and have fun whilst doing so. Karl, Rich and Andy have a wealth of experience and made learning excellent. Thanks again fellas!
Thanks for a great review. Have tons of fun on your future motorcycle
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT today The instructors have a great approach to new riders and felt very comfortable on the road after a good few hours with them Highly recommend
Thank you for a great review, have lots of fun biking
Fantastic experience: Recently passed a 5.5 day DAS course through Karmenz Motorcycle Training, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, the training delivered demonstrated a commitment to safety, education, and rider confidence. The instructors; Andy, Rich and Karl are knowledgeable, patient, and approachable. They clearly have a passion for riding and teaching, which translated into an engaging and supportive learning environment. Whether you’re a complete beginner like myself or someone with some experience, they tailor their instruction to ensure everyone is comfortable and progressing at their own pace. Thanks again guys!
Now thats a fantastic review, thank you so much. Really appreciated. Have tons of fun in the future on your motorcycle
Fantastic experience: I did a 2.5 day A2 course. I passed my Mod 1 and Mod 2 with Karmenz first time. I rode a BMW G310GS. Great bike to learn on and was well maintained. Karl was my instructor, friendly guy, gives constructive criticism which is what you want in an instructor. I would do my full A license with them when time comes. That should speak for itself.
Cheers Liam, really appreciate the review. Have fun biking
Fantastic experience: Just completed a CBT with the guys at Karmenz. Really great instruction, a relaxed atmosphere, and sensible pace of delivery. I'll be back next year to complete the rest. Thanks, guys.
Glad you had a great time. Enjoy your summers biking and we will see you for your full licence, when your ready.
Fantastic experience: Highly Recommend Karmenz, Great experience very professional & knowledgeable. Passed my mod 1 & 2 thanks to Karl, Andy, Richard.
Cheers buddy, thanks for the review and thats one stunning R6......enjoy
Fantastic experience: 5 Star from me. Had a great time with you. Passed on a first try. Highly recommended!
Cheers for the review. Have a top time biking
Fantastic experience: Just passed my mod 2 today! Took 2 attempts at my mod 1 and 2 for my mod 2 but the 2 tests I failed were silly mistakes completely down to me. If you want to pass your bike test or even your CBT use Karmenz. The training that goes into any of the tests is superb and also very enjoyable. All the guys are super friendly and very knowledgeable. I'll be down to see you all as soon as I've been and got a bike! Thank you guys
Hi Dan, thanks for the great review, looking forward to seeing your new bike
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend, the guys ar Karmenz live and breathe motorbikes and it's immediately obvious! They are demanding and tough but they want to make sure once you leave with your licence you will be safe in the roads and that is exactly what I would expect from a good riding school.
Thanks for a great review, have fun biking
Fantastic experience: Can’t fault my recent experience with the guys at Karmenz. Karl, Andy and Rich were all sound guys and excellent instructors. I was anxious going into my training as I had zero experience on a bike - and now a few days later I’ve got my full licence and feel confident riding on the roads. During the training, we rode out to various motorbike showrooms and shops where Andy in particular was able to give me some super advice about what gear would be best for me, and what bikes I might like too! If you’re thinking about taking to two wheels, these guys can get you there. Massive thank you to the team
Brilliant review Will, thanks loads and enjoy your time bike hunting
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience, the team and equipment were very good and took me from never having sat on a motorbike bike before to being confident riding on the roads in one day, definitely recommend for CBT course. Thanks a lot guys!
Thanks for the great review. Really glad you had a great time. Enjoy your motorcycling
Fantastic experience: Great guys who really know their stuff!
Cheers. Thank you for the review
Fantastic experience: At 55 I had never been on a bike so opted for the full 6 day course, tuition was first class with experienced instructors, just the right amount of time on the bike everyday building on my knowledge & came out at the end with my bike license, would highly recommend Karmenz to anyone thinking of doing their bike test, huge thanks again to Karl, Ritchie & Andy for getting me through it , cheers fellas
Fantastic review, thank you so much. Have loads of fun biking
Fantastic experience: Done my CBT and Das (mod 1 & 2) super fast 2.5 day course, great instructing, great bikes and equipment. Passed everything first time.
Thanks for the review. Have a fantastic time on your bike.
Fantastic experience: the bikes and training area were amazing, alongside having one of the best instructors by the name of rich, he helped me at every step of the way and was patient with my mistakes. if i ever need to renew my cbt i’ll come here again.
Great review, thank you for that. Really glad you had a great day. Cheers
Fantastic experience: Well what can I say! I hadn’t ridden for around 15 years, and having a full A licence was my goal. Initially spoke to Karl who worked out with me that a 4 day course would be ideal given some previous experience but definitely glad I had 2 days on the 125cc Honda. Passed my CBT the first day and worked on bettering my control the second. Third day came, me and the MT-07 bonded instantly! What a machine!!! My confidence and skills increased quickly under Karl, Andy and Rich’s instruction. Highly professional and enthusiastic team that was firm when needed to be, massively supportive and encouraging. I must say I really struggled with the U-Turn manoeuvre which was weighing heavily on my mind making me feel I just couldn’t manage it after messing it up a fair few times in training, but the Mod1 day Rich was an absolutely amazing instructor filling me with encouragement on the practice runs at the DVSA test centre last week, and I smashed it! Today I passed my Mod 2 with flying colours after a 4 day course of essentially a standing start after 15 years away from 2 wheels. 100% recommended these guys to get you on the road, i’ll look forward to buying a bike soon and coming back to say hello! Thanks ever so much! Samantha
What a wonderful review Samantha, thanks for taking the time to post it. Have a great time buying your bike and hopefully see you down here when you've got it.
Fantastic experience: I had my 3.5 day DAS course with Karmenz, which concluded earlier this week. I cannot thank the team enough, for making me feel so welcome, being incredibly attentive, and ensuring that I was prepared for my test. Booking out the DVSA test site to practice the module 1 test was a brilliant touch, and made me feel at ease. More hobnobs on the way Karl!
Don't forget the milk. Thanks for the totally amazing review. So appreciated
Fantastic experience: Have to say absolutely amazing team done my cbt today automatic moped the team was outstanding spoke clearly understand what they was saying very self explanatory test everything was just right when doing my test felt comfortable and confident when doing it the test it’s self was amazing get to ride around Northampton with a instructor doing u turns and figures of 8 along with getting the feel for the bike before you then head on out provided gear lots of bikes to choose from they have done there job safely and very well and just want to say a big thank you for helping me pass my cbt and opening a lot of opportunities for the future for me and getting out on the Northamptonshire roads thank you guys very much ✅ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a fantastic review, thank you very much ill let the guys know. Enjoy your new hobby
Fantastic experience: Just completed my bike license with these guys. Massive thank you to Karl, Andy and Richy for their support and assistance. Karmenz provided me with the knowledge and confidence to pass first time. Would highly recommend this company to anyone that wants to learn how to ride a bike. The course was well structured and thorough. So glad I chose to do my course with them!!
Cheers for the awesome review. Too skills with your pass and enjoy the biking.
Fantastic experience: Super team of instructors! Had a blast through the course! Lots of knowledge and practics on the bike! Cheers! I was doing cours with 3 other people and all of us passed with a first try!
Great review, thanks . Have a great time on your motorcycle
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. These guys were not only friendly, easy to chat to but their bike knowledge is amazing. I started my week long course very nervous out on the roads and finished it a confident rider. I took my test knowing I could pass and did ️
Thanks for the great review Sarah. Have top fun bike shopping
Fantastic experience: Fantastic training! Colin was excellent at delivering CBT training. His communication was clear and precise, and he could see where I was struggling and needed training, and where I was overthinking and just needed reassurance. Patient, reassuring, and encouraging; great all round! Highly recommend.
Thats a fantastic review, I know Colin will really appreciate that. Thank you and have fun out on your motorcycle.
Negative experience: Members of your staff are very aggressive towards those who are learning. Instead of being told what to do, they're shouted at, swore at and made to feel like a idiot. Which is very unprofessional.
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic time with Karmenz Motorcycle Training! The way they train you. And, the way they explain things is fab. Without a doubt. They'll, do anything to make sure you pass. Shout out to Karl, Andy and Richy who all helped me passed both my Model 1 and 2. Couldn't, thank you more!
Thank you for an amazing review. Enjoy your biking
Fantastic experience: Just completed my CBT. Sorry forgot the instructors name as soon as I left the gate. Colin/Karl?? Either way really well run group great communication and organisation. My instructor was really good and taught everyone at their own level, and wasn’t pushy at all. Would highly recommend. Just need to pass my theory and I’ll be back to do my full license
Cheers for the review, see you for your full licence
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic,great bunch would highly recommend them,five stars
Cheers buddy, really appreciate the review
Fantastic experience: Passed my A license today!!! Many thanks to all the instructors who helped me on this journey. Their direction and encouragement throughout made this a great experience. Also, BIG shout out to Craig, my riding buddy... legend..
Thanks for the review. Happy biking
Fantastic experience: Anybody reading this with anxieties or worries whether they are capable of riding and passing for a full licence or simply starting off with a CBT should enrol with Karmenz because these guys know how to settle you down, install confidence and raise your riding abilities. They have the expertise, a wide selection of motorbikes to meet most people needs, plus a compound for the off road experience, you even get to ride in the examination centre compound where the mod 1 is performed. What's better than that, right.... Anyhow highly recommended, just do it you'll know you will enjoy it. Money well spent. Thank you
Cheers for the fantastic review Karl. Happy biking buddy.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my final motorcycle test thanks to the team at Karmenz!!! I called up just over a month ago to enquire about a DAS course, I had no previous on road experience. I was given advice on which course to book and within minutes I had dates booked for CBT, 600cc training Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests. Along the way I got to ride with Rich, Andy, Collin and Karl and they’re a great bunch of people who’re all passionate about what they do. I feel the training I received from each of these guys was absolutely top notch. After I’d done the 125cc and went on to the 600cc training I was given a BMW GS 750cc to learn on as this was the most suitable bike for me, I rode this throughout the rest of my course. They have loads of different bikes at this place and they’re all maintained on a daily basis. I believe they select the right bike for you based on your ability from what I’ve seen. I’ve got no other training schools to compare Karmenz to as this was my first experience but I think you’d struggle to meet these standards anywhere else. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a brilliant review Paul, really glad the guys looked after you. Enjoy your motorcycling and don't forget to pop in and show off your bike when you get one. Cheers
Fantastic experience: Amazing people honestly! Went there to get my CBT and they helped me be confident riding motorbikes while making it a fun experience. Will be going back to do the DAS training!
Hi Alexandra, thank you for a great review. See you when your ready for your Das
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT a few days ago with Richard very nice and professional instructor I had so much fun I will recommend them.
Thank you for a great review. I'll let Richard know.
Fantastic experience: After reading reviews chose to pick karmenz and the positive feedback is well earned. Overall great experience. Concise teaching but still kept the course interesting and fun. Very welcoming group of people, (Can't for the life of me remember the instructors name,) but he was an amazing teacher. The instructor adjusted his approach to each of us on the course, tackling our strengths and weaknesses, showing he has a lot of experience teaching and catering to different learning styles. You can really tell the main focus is about your safety and the safety of others over anything, but they also have quite a passion for teaching. It really seems, they enjoy giving newer riders the knowledge they need, to be on the road, safe, sharing in something they are passionate about. The course was taken seriously highlighting the dangers and precautions that need to be taken, however was kept light with humour and conversation. Meaning it in no way felt insanely pressured, or test like, instead a demonstration of safety; giving you the knowledge to learn to ride. I was reasonably nervous for the on road section of the course due to having next to no road experience. However I was well guided through this part over in ear pieces, with the instructor making it a lot more comfortable, with complete knowledge on the roads and hazards. After this was given constructive advice on some of the mistakes I made. Once again showing they really want to help newer riders build experience but also be safe. Big thankyou to the team!!!
That is a awesome review and very appreciated. Have a top time out riding and we will see you on the road
Fantastic experience: I did my C.B.T with Colin from Karmenz, he put me at ease and is very good. I would highly recommend Karmenz for new riders and those who want to do their full bike test.
Thank you for the review Tracy. I'll let Colin know you had a top day.
Fantastic experience: I have this morning, just completed and passed my license with Karmenz. Having been taught by all the instructors I thought I would be in a good position to leave a review. If you don't want to read on, then the takeaway is Excellent all round. I did the 5.5 day Direct Access Course including CBT On day 1 we had Colin for our CBT, which involved some classroom stuff and then riding around the cones in the car park getting a feel for the bikes (I myself had not been on one in 20 years). Once Colin was happy we all went out for a 2 hour road ride, during which time we covered all the bases, in-town, country roads, some busier roads, then back to Karmenz for a debrief. Day 2, Again today we were with Colin. We had awful rain, however they had us covered with ample kit for wet weather and it turned out to be a great experience. Again all roads were covered. All the time with Colin giving us plenty of helpful advice and pointers along the way. We even stopped in Wellingborough for a refreshment break at the Pump House Cafe. Day 3 we were with Rich, who took us out on the 125's for another full days riding. We spent the day all over Northamptonshire, returning to Karmenz half way for lunch break. Day 4 Switching it up on to the larger bikes with Rich. Today saw us on the Kawasaki 650's, we started by doing slow speed work around the yard working up to figure of eights, U turns, slow riding. Then in the afternoon we were out and about down the country lanes. We ended the day going through Western Favel past the academy at school kicking out time. Man there was traffic everywhere, but we all perfected our slow riding and spotting hazards this afternoon! Day 5 - Today we were with the big boss, Carl and Andy, Carl started us out in the yard practising our slow speed work, then they both took us to the test centre in Kettering for out Mod 1 test. Carl took us all on the track for some one on one training around the actual obstacles. He also gave us lots of very helpful tips on what to do. We all passed first time. Although I did have to have a second attempt at the speed trap swerve as I was just very slightly too slow. However I nailed it on the second attempt. While one of us was taking the test, Andy took the others out around Kettering along one of the test routes and pointed out all the little oddities that might catch us out. Day 5.5 Mod 2 day. We met at Karmenz and Carl took both of us to the test centre, this was a few days after our last lesson so we were a little rusty. I lead the group and Karl kept the advice coming in a friendly, but concise way. I had my test first and the examiner was a really friendly chap. I passed with only two minors. Overall Karmenz teach to a high standard and are encouraging and helpful at every turn. All the instructors are excellent, but you don't just get stuck with one of them, they each take a turn training you which means you benefit from all of their experience. I fell like I had excellent tuition here and am thrilled to be able to ride my motorcycle by myself. However, Karl, amde a point to invite me to a ride out, and also told me to pop back anytime for a chat. I think I will be having some more time with them just to keep my skills sharp. All in all, excellent all round, and highly recommended.
Wow, what a fantastic review. We really appreciate it at Karmenz. I'll let the boys know you enjoyed yourself. Have loads of fun on your bike and hopefully see you for the ride out.
Fantastic experience: Started my journey in September with a view to getting my full A license. As an older learning, having not been on a bike for over 40 years, found them patient & accommodating, offered extra training to help me progress to the bigger bikes to gain confidence. Full guidance was given on both modules of what to except and how to accomplish. Driving the routes of Module 2 testing, explaining what exactly would be expected to pass. Would thoroughly recommend using these guys at Karmenz.
Cheers for the review John. Always appreciated. Have fun biking.
Fantastic experience: They provide proper learning, skills improvement and education for how to ride motorcycle on road won’t be disappointed
Thank you for great review.
Fantastic experience: I did a 4.5 day das course with karmenz and have just passed my full A license! I’m over the moon! Mod 1 first time and mod 2 2nd time. I couldn’t have done it without Karl’s team - rich, Andy, and Colin, they’re all excellent instructors providing tailored critique and training to make sure you’re safe on the road and ready to do the tests. I wasn’t a complete novice but I struggle with my confidence, however they did a great job at building that up for me. In particular, for any women considering this school, I’d highly recommend them. I’m 5ft 2 and found the z650s great for learning on. Thank you Karmenz!
Absolute pleasure, really glad you had a good time. Thanks for the awesome review
Fantastic experience: I took a 5 day course at Karmenz and it was a brilliant experience, all the instructors are kind and very knowledgeable, it’s scary at first, but before you know it you’ll be having lots of fun. A big thank you to Collin and Andy, the two instructors who I spent most of my time with, they managed to turn me from a nervous wreck with no balance to a safe and much more confident rider.
Thank you for a great review, ill let the guys know. Happy biking
Fantastic experience: Great place, and great service. Welcoming instructors.
Thank you for the review.
Fantastic experience: Took my Compulsory Basic Training Course at Karmenz Motorcycle training today. There were 3 of us on the course, and our instructor for the day was Colin. I can honestly say it was an enjoyable experience. Bikes and necessary equipment are supplied, practice in the yard followed by simple routes on the road. Colin’s instructing was clear and concise, and his patience was impressive when needed! :) Radio comms help to understand the road manoeuvres and I’m happy to say I feel confident to start riding my own machine. Many thanks Colin and Karmenz.
Great review, thank you and enjoy your biking .
Fantastic experience: Great instructors actually teach very well and make sure you get the training you deserve the instructor are nice people to two to in general brand new bikes and well maintained and great options. Did my cbt with them and A2 passes with them definitely coming back in 2 years for my A license.
Cheers for the great review. See you in 2 years for the upgrade
Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience at Karmenz. I had the honor to learn from a very professional and experienced team. When I came to them I had no idea how to drive a motorcycle and only after two weeks I got the category I wanted, so the result speaks for itself. Thumbs up to the Karmenz team and good luck.
Thank you very much for a fantastic review. Enjoy your biking.
Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable instructors and good selection of bikes, if you’re training to upgrade your licence, like I was, they’ll try and match the training motorcycle to what you’ve been riding to help with your training. Passed my practical first try, no problems. Thanks a lot.
Cheers Alex. Really appreciate the review.
Fantastic experience: Thank you for your time and Great Service Colin for getting me through my cbt. I highly recommend Karmenz and there team
Thank you Lloyd, really glad you enjoyed your cbt. I'll let Colin know.
Fantastic experience: I wanted to say thank you to all the trainers at Karmenz, definitely the best place around if you want to learn. Can’t recommend them enough.
Cheers Russ, very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I had my CBT done this Monday and passed successfully. I would like to say a big thank you to Colin my instructor. Although I was very nervous and didn’t know what to expect to begin with, Colin quickly reassured me that I’m doing fine and I drive really well but need just a bit more confidence in myself. He had a lot of patience with me and made sure I got the hang of each exercise perfectly. The actual ride out on the roads was fun and I enjoyed it so much, I quickly got more confident on the road and felt proud to finally ride a bike on different public roads. Additionally, I would like to say a big thank you to the whole Karmenz team, I enjoyed my time there and having a talk with each one of you and hearing about your previous bikes and experiences. :)
Thank you for the amazing review, ill let Colin know.
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Colin, Richard, Andy and Karl for fantastic training! I thoroughly enjoyed both the CBT (despite being really nervous) and the DAS course. And I passed! Thanks again! I will recommend you to anyone wanting to get their bike licence.
Thank you Emily, fantastic review and top skills from you.
Fantastic experience: I booked a DAS course with Karmenz after reading a few of the reviews and a recommendation. Being new to Motorbike riding, I completed the CBT on day one of the course followed by two days on the 650 Bikes. The Mod1 test was on the Friday, followed by the Mod 2 test on the following Tuesday. I passed both tests only through the expert training, guidance and coaching for Colin, Andy, Rich & the boss – Karl. We all learn at different levels and the team absolutely know how to bring you on to the right levels to pass both tests. The DAS is an intense course, and the speed of learning and training is quick, but worth it. Communications is via radio earpieces when out on the road which is a huge help as they guide you on lane position, speed and hazard awareness. There was a wide range of age & experience (me being a young 55) on the course – so no barriers. Thank you all at Karmenz fantastic results, and really appreciate you putting up with me for the week. Absolutely recommend this team to anyone who is thinking about obtaining your big bike licence; just do it people, don’t think – “I wish I had” – make it “Remember when”.
Fantastic review Pete and really appreciated. Come see us when you get your motorcycle . Enjoy the road
Fantastic experience: An update….I returned to Karmenz for my DAS course. The mix of instructors during this was very useful and I learnt a lot. Happy to say I passed MOD1 and 2 for the first time. I spent the day being tutored by Rich for my CBT and loved every minute. Teaching at the right pace by a knowledgable and passionate instructor makes the world of difference. Definitely will use Karmenz when I go for my A1 and highly recommend them.
Cheers Dave, I'll let Richard know. Thanks for the great review
Fantastic experience: I've recently completed by CBT and DAS with Karmenz. Colin and Andy were my instructors for the course and I couldn't be more grateful to them for their help and guidance. I passed both my Mod 1 and 2 first time. I'd never rode a motorbike before this. I would highly recommended this bike school if you are thinking of taking up riding.
Thank you for the great review. Enjoy your newfound skills on the road.
Fantastic experience: The best training for cbt
Thanks for the review
Fantastic experience: I did my DAS and passed on moday, top quality training. amazing well looked after bike's to use. 100% recommended to do your training with. Thank you guys.
Thanks for a great review. Happy biking
Fantastic experience: Great service. Did the DAS course (had already completed CBT prior), and across four days of instruction became confident on the bike, passing Mod 1&2 first time thanks to the teaching of the excellent instructors. Lots of time to practice, riding in a pair and constantly given feedback to best prepare us for the tests. All four on my course passed first time, would highly recommend Karmenz.
Cheers for the top review. Always appreciated
Fantastic experience: Massive thanks to Collin for everything I was taught and learned during my CBT. By far the best instructors in the midlands. Amazing quality of service provided and attention to detail was superb. Absolutely fantastic time. Cheers for getting me on the road again.
Thats a fantastic review. I'll pass it on to Colin. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT a few days ago with them, was great fun and i learnt loads. My instructor was Rich, he was very knowledgable and helped with tonnes of feedback throughout the day. I plan on returning in about a year for DAS, after i get some more experience on a 125 :)
Thanks for the great review Harry. I'll pass it on to Richard
Fantastic experience: Brilliant group of lads, really helpful and useful got me through my A2 license from CBT in a matter of days. Really recommend them
Cheers Chris, top review . Have fun on the roads.
Fantastic experience: I had my CBT today which was very smooth running. All the instructors are nice and very helpful for any questions you have. They take their time to make sure you understand each part, so I would definitely recommend here for a beginner on a bike! The bikes themselves are clean and well maintained, as well as a big enough training area before you head onto the road setup with junctions to practice on. The inside lessons were well explained and not rushed, as well as a few jokes during it! During the road ride I felt very safe thanks to the instructor’s guidance over the radio, as well as occasional breaks to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable with the rest of the ride. I will definitely be using these guys again for any of my future bike lessons or test preparation!
Cheers for the review Jack. Really glad you had a good experience. I'll let your instructor know.
Negative experience: Tried to contact these guys three times by leaving voicemail message and on chat, never bothered contacting me.The response I got from Karmenz was not what I was expecting, this was not one effort to contact them that could have got missed as I appreciate they are always busy but three with no response. There comment of the review was rude and they basically said go somewhere else. Well return messages and calls then. Sorry this says a lot about you!
Hi Paul. To start with apologies that we didn't get back to you and I really don't know why as we always try our best to contact new students but sometimes a call does slip through the net. But to leave a 1 star review seems a little bit harsh and says a lot more about you then it does us. I hope you find a training school to take you on and you get your full licence so you can ride legally on the road but it won't be us. To anyone else please read some of the other reviews and your hopefully see how much time and effort we put into making you safe out on the road. Apologies again Paul, ignoring you was not our intention.
Fantastic experience: Best instructors in the game. Did a 5.5 day DAS with Karmenz. From the CBT and my first day on the road with Colin, another day of learning with Rich and then onto the z650 with the main man Karl (in some lovely rain) All the guys at Karmenz made a couple of Novices like me and my wife into competent and safe riders. We passed both Modules first time thanks to their expert guidance and clear and concise instruction. Could not recommend them enough. Fantastic! Many Thanks Karl and the gang.
Cheers for the great review, always appreciated. Have fun on the road guys
Fantastic experience: Great guys, great training, confidence boosting! Would totally recommend for motorbike training!
Cheers Stella. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Calling all thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts! Picture this: a group of expert instructors who live and breathe biking – they eat, sleep, and dream two-wheeled freedom! Now, let me share my incredible experience with them. I must admit, I was a bit nervous when I embarked on my journey to get my CBT (Compulsory Basic Training). Having never ridden a bike before, I didn't exactly ace it the first time around. But that's where these amazing instructors stepped in! They were absolute pros at breaking down the complexities of biking into simple, digestible pieces. No jargon, no confusion – just crystal-clear explanations delivered with enthusiasm. Oh, and did I mention the real-life examples they shared? They made everything relatable and easy to grasp! After completing the training, I felt like a true biker, ready to conquer the open road. I can't stress enough how much I recommend their CBT and other bike license training courses. So, whether you're a newbie like I was or an experienced rider looking to fine-tune your skills, these instructors are the ones to turn to! Trust me; you won't regret it! Get revved up and make your biking dreams a reality with this exceptional team!
Wow thats an amazing review. Really appreciated and ill let the guys know. Really pleased you had a great time . Safe biking
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT with Karmenz a week ago, excellent tuition, Colin was very knowledgeable and patient. I’ll be back to do my full license with them
Cheers for the review Ben. Look forward to seeing you for your full licence. Dont forget to get your motorcycle theory test done first. You can book it at gov.uk
Fantastic experience: Fantastic group guys who really try their best to make you a safe rider and get you through your test. Richard my instructor was very patient and gave me great advice along with lots of moral support (and a kick up the arse when needed) They have various bikes for you to use but they also allow you to do your CBT test on your own as long as your insurance covers it. Could not recommend them enough and I will be booking my full bike test with them.
Thank you for the loverly review. I'll pass it on the Richard.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to take your test, Rich helped me pass my CBT, really good teacher! The staff are friendly, patient, and have a great sense of humour, will no doubt help you to learn how to ride safely. Couldn't recommend them more! - Ryan
Thats a fantastic review. Thanks alot for that ill let Richard know.
Fantastic experience: I just completed my DAS today with Karmenz. I began my journey last year when I completed my CBT. The team who taught me (Rich, Glen & Andy) know their stuff! Don't expect lazy tuition or partial feedback on your riding, the team here are constantly ensuring you stick to a VERY high standard of riding and I would encourage anyone who wants to learn properly to use these guys. I've now obtained my full license and am looking forward to getting my big bike for touring. The bikes, tuition and team have made this a fantastic experience from the very beginning - Thanks Karmenz!
What a fantastic review, ill pass it on to the guys. Cheers and have a top time on your motorcycle.
Fantastic experience: Everyone here, Rich, Andy, Colin and Glen ( hope i got everones names right, Im rubbish at that ) is absolutely amazing. They are patient and explain everything in detail. I am a visual learner and so they adapted to help me. The professionalism is spot on. If you are thinking of doing any sort of bike training then give them a call. 100% recommend Karmenz to anyone. (didn't get to meet Karl) due to unforseen circumstances. Thank you so much guys Lettz x

Thanks for the great review Zoe.
Fantastic experience: Great instructors with great knowledge and the ability to turn a 40 something newbie biker into a first time Mod 1 and Mod 2 pass using modern bikes like BMW GS750. Fantastic experience from start to finish.

Fantastic experience: Best motorcycle training company in town three top blokes teaching you and Nice new bikes to train on .
Cheers for the review
Fantastic experience: Fantastic! Just completed my DAS to now be a proud full motorbike license holder. Having never really ridden motorbikes, but wanting to for a long time, Karl, Andy and Rich took me through from complete beginner to get my CBT, guided me from 125s onto a 650cc MT07 (which was great fun!), on which they coached me through my Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests. The standard of teaching really is excellent, and their expectations of you as a rider are reassuringly high!! Thoroughly recommended - if you’re thinking of doing it… go for it!!!
Brilliant review Adam as always really appreciated. See you on the road.
Fantastic experience: I did the 5.5 day DAS course with rich Andy and Karl, really good instructors and with their help I sailed through my cbt, mod 1 and mod 2 all first time passes! I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking to pass there tests! Really nice lads and the bikes they use are amazing! I’d never ridden a bike on the road before last week and the results after being taught by Karmenz for just 5.5 days speak for themselves! Thanks again lads appreciate your help
Cheers buddy, what a fantastic review, very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Awesome group of guys and great tutors. Range of motorcycles to suit all. Highly recommend.
