Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Dave highly enough, having taken me from CBT (twice) with zero experience through to DAS to get my A licence. He's hugely knowledgeable and supportive, I enjoyed every mile we rode together. Thanks Dave

Simon Haddrell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have recently (today) obtained my class A motorcycle licence. I obtained this by completing my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 through expert tuition from Dave at Apex Motorcycle Training. Not only was my training exceptional value for money, the delivery and instruction made me feel safe on two wheels at each and every step of the process. Thanks Dave

Luke Barlow 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Dave got me through my direct access mod1 and mod2 first time. Honestly couldn’t ask for a better experience, I’m a pretty nervous person and Dave worked with me and kept me calm throughout the whole process. Very friendly, very experienced and really knows how to get you prepared and ready for the tests. I genuinely cannot recommend enough. I am really happy with the whole experience. Thank you so much Dave!

Rich Nickless 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT, MOD 1 & MOD 2 with Apex with zero previous motorbike experience. Andy was a brilliant instructor providing expert tips and building confidence. I was given heaps of practical bike time for both MOD 1 and MOD 2, which helped me through. Trish is also great with information, organisation and communication. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and would recommend to anyone thinking of riding a bike.

James Latham 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Passed my Mod 1 and Mod 2 thanks to the excellent tuition and guidance from Dave - he really gets you test ready. Extremely experienced, patient, knowledgeable and gives you all the attention you need to develop your skills. The only thing he couldn't help with was the weather for Mod 2, rain, rain and more rain. Big thank you to Dave for all his support, encouragement (the odd moan) and teaching.

Will Shaw 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing I passed mod 1 with 2 minors and mod 2 with no minors! I couldn’t have done it without Dave he’s a great instructor and really friendly. He worked around my work hours so I didn’t have to take excess time off work couldn’t recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for motorcycle instruction Dave is your man. Friendly and patience abundant, look no further. I passed my mod 1 and mod 2 first time and as much as I want to believe it's because I'm the next Rossi, it's was Dave's help that got me through with no faults.

adam large 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend dave enough, he's a really great instructor really Informative and knows how to give you nudges to get you thinking and doing things for yourself and quick to help you recognise and correct anything you need to work on, it's going to be weird starting riding without him coming through the intercom to tell me my indicators still on. His 650 learner bike has heated grips too so no excuses to not start learning now with it starting to get cold!

Oli B 2 years ago

Negative experience: VERY RUDE for no reason, called up to ask some questions about the courses he provides and he seems to have a very big ego for no reason. Rude on the phone, very unprofessional, Wouldn’t recommend any of his courses as he will just look down on you instead of helping. Could be having a bad day I’m not sure!

Tommy Page 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dave and his company Apex Motorcycle Training to anyone thinking of taking up motorcycling. I did both my CBT and my Full Bike Tests with Dave and he was really good all the way along. Very patient and understanding with beginner riders and passes the knowledge along in a way that is easy to understand. Had a really good time training with Apex and was very reasonably priced compared to other companies that had quoted me before going with Apex. Even got a free mug upon passing my MoD2!

Mike Holdsworth 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thanks Dave for your expert tuition. You made doing CBT through to a full licence a great experience, with great guidance and insight along the way. I was a little apprehensive at first being 43 and having never ridden a motorbike before, but I enjoyed every aspect of learning and putting into practice the new skills you taught me. Dave sets high standards which helped me pass first time. He also takes you round the test routes to help you familiarise yourself with what to expect on the test. I can now look forward many miles on my new bike with the confidence that I have been well instructed. Cheers Dave

April Sanders 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: To put it plainly, if it wasn't for Dave, I wouldn't have my full license. I lost all my confidence after trying and failing to take my cbt with a different well-known school. Dave however, spent so much time with me building my confidence and teaching me from the ground up. Nothing was ever too much trouble and he always found a way to make me 'get it'. From never having ridden (or driven) before as of 9 months ago, I now have my full license and dream big bike. I feel confident on the road, knowing that I have been equipped with the best skillset and knowledge to keep myself safe. It's obvious that Dave genuinely cares about his students and his knowledge and skill as a biker and instructor are second to none. I honestly cannot thank him enough xx

Michelle Bruckshaw 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing!!! I was rather nervous about getting on a bike for the first time, but Dave made me feel at ease and also made the whole experience really really enjoyable. I booked my CBT and I was placed with another lady who was on my level of experience, so that gave me the confidence I lacked and made me feel much more comfortable with being on a bike. Not only is Dave very patient but he’s an outstanding teacher! Always giving out plenty of advise and pointers, not to mention the knowledge behind him with his experience.! I genuinely wish I could give this man more than 5 stars because I passed first time and haven’t looked back since! It’s been the best thing I ever did but I only managed it because of you so thank you so much.. Would highly highly recommend and if you find yourself contemplating this, just get it booked you won’t regret it! See you in two years if I don’t come for my licence sooner

Rory Stone 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Dave enough and I appreciate all the help throughout my training, He keeps things simple and straight to the point with good hints and tips throughout which is why I passed my Module 1 & 2 with ease and first time! It’s worth mentioning also how good the price of the training was definitely the fairest rates on the market!

wayne beardmore 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT, with Dave and went on to pass my MOD1 and DAS tests - I passed all first time! With the help and guidance from Dave! what a great down to earth guy to learn with and couldn’t ask for a better instructor highly recommended to all who’s looking for a CBT or DAS training. Keep safe & and all the best Wayne

Robyn Meyer 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend training with Dave at Apex motorcycle training. I was lucky enough to do my CBT, mod 1 and mod 2 with Dave. Passing all three on the first go. My lessons and rides were tailored to what I felt I needed more practice on and I was given constant feedback on my riding whilst out via ear piece. I had never ridden anything bigger than 125 before but Dave really gave me the confidence to ride and to ride well and safely. Top bloke, great sense of humour, great bikes and top experience. Will recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you again :)

Freedom Media 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: From the moment I first sat on a motorcycle, right through to today when I passed my full modular two, Dave has been amazing. He takes the time to fully explain the process, the machine, the methods of learning and of course the riding itself. He has a no-nonsense approach, if you are doing it wrong he will tell you, and if you are doing it right he will tell you! Either way, you learn something for every minute you are with him. I would recommend him without hesitation, he is hugely experienced and teaches to a world-class level.

Rachel Capes 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dave is a dedicated instructor helping you build confidence and skills. Being a complete novice I wasn't sure what to expect but Dave soon reassured me and put me at ease, he has the patience of a saint, who gives firm and fair advice, guidance, feedback and information. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable, he works with you at your own pace. Thank you Dave for being an amazing instructor and helping me pass my CBT

Scott Pedley 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just passed my Mod 1 and Mod 2 having completed my CBT previously with Dave at Apex. Dave's training was first class, he provided excellent feedback on the positive aspects of my riding and also the things that I needed to work on. Dave's friendly and professional manner gave me the confidence I needed to get my full licence with fewer lessons than I had first expected. I highly recommend Apex training to anyone regardless of their riding level.

John Sunderland 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with apex as a completely new to riding a motorbike. Very supportive, great ongoing feedback to pick up where you’re making errors - very keen eye. Dave wondered why id travelled a longer distance to use him - the reviews said it all and proved accurate. Looking forward to the next stages in the coming months. Thanks Dave !

Helen Meyer 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Wanted to buy a gift certificate for my daughter's graduation present and Dave was super friendly and helpful. Didn't want to take my money until I was sure my daughter would travel. After I purchased the gift certificate he hand delivered it to ensure it arrived in time. After reading the reviews on here I'm sure he's going to do a great job getting my daughter through her DAS

Joseph Power 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dave is a great instructor and a genuine down to earth guy in general. His feedback both positive and negative is extremely helpful. If you make a mistake he is quick to tell you where you went wrong which in my opinion is crucial and of course the positive comments are always nice :) Passed my Mod 1 & 2 with 0 minors with Apex! :D I can't recommend him enough!

Oliver Wheatley 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dave took me through my Mod 1 and Mod 2 with first time passes and a clean score with zero minors on my Mod 2. Dave was Really friendly and knowledgable, putting me at ease before my tests. His 1 on 1 training really made the difference to me and was the most efficient/ value for money option in the area. The Bike was really good quality and Dave’s guidance/ instructions were very clear and tailored to my respective experience. I would highly recommend Dave and Apex for your motor cycle training needs.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant experience from beginning to end. Dave was a great instructor, and extremely patient with dealing with my nerves and quirks - and did everything required to guide me through the process. His organization, set-up and equipment is top drawer, meaning I didn't have to worry about any of the details apart from showing up and riding.

Susan Stieger 4 years ago

Emily “QueenE” Krumlinde 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I did my CBT as well as Direct Access training with Dave. I've literally gone from never having ridden a motorcycle in my whole life to getting my full A-license yesterday! He helped me pass first time on both mod 1 and mod 2, and I could not recommend him as your motorcycle teacher enough. Calm, reassuring and patient (lord knows he would have to had been with a student like me, haha!) and very knowledgeable. Riding a motorcycle has been a long time dream of mine and he helped me build the skills and confidence necessary to become a safe and proficient rider and achieving that dream. Thank you Dave! Sincerely, Emily

Mike Hughes 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dave at Apex took me through CBT, MOD1 and MOD2. Expert, patient tuition. You won't find a better instructor with the perfect bikes from an absolute beginner to passing the full license test. If you're looking to gain a full license I can thoroughly recommend Apex. Just the best.

Miki H 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dave has been brilliant all the way through my CBT to my A2 licence!! Made me feel confident and capable if I second guess myself. Helpful and lovely person as well as being an ace instructor! Update: It's been nearly 3 years since my A2 and Dave has helped me pass my Full Licence! I've passed everything first time and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better instructor.

Spank Housen 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dave has been great, training me from pretty much a complete novice last year on my CBT, all the way to (today) passing my direct access full bike licence. Very knowledgeable, professional, lots of experience and super helpful, particularly when it came to arranging/rearranging difficult to find test dates. Top fella. Many thanks and DEFINITELY recommended!

Dominic Risk 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Today I passed my Mod 2 and without question, it was all down to the fantastic tutelage and guidance of Dave that got me through it. Dave was recommended to me by friends who had been taught by him years before - always a good sign - so I didn't hesitate to get in touch with him. He invited me down for a free assessment and was completely honest in regards to what I would need to get my Mod 1 and 2, where other instructors might just be thinking of their own wallets. He said I would just need a couple of hours practise before each stage and pencilled in dates for me. Dave handled everything in regards to Mod 1 and 2, which was a Godsend, and I bonded with him straight away. I did the Mod 1 one day last week and the Mod 2 today, so the impact on my schedule etc was minimum. The Mod 1 day consisted of riding one of his lovely bikes to his training ground, where I could practise emergency stops and U-turns to my heart's content (do the U-turn in 2nd - I did and was able to do figure of eights in the allotted space, no trouble) and then rides on all sorts of roads as practise until we got to the test centre, where Dave used his expert knowledge to ensure I only needed to do the requisite amount to pass (tip: park in the bay furthest away to give yourself plenty of room and finish nose-in, to save faffing about). My Mod 2 day today was spent riding the roads that might (and did) come up on the test, ensuring I had a good expectation of all potential issue points before they happen. Did it work? It certainly did! I passed my Mod 1 with zero minors and passed my Mod 2 with only one minor! All in all, Dave is an amazing instructor - his knowledge and understanding is second to none, his calm manner and insightful observations helped me learn massively and the best thing is he buys you breakfast on both days!! If you want to pass without being taken for a ride, contact Dave today.

Alex 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Dave today, felt more like an amazing day out with friends and learnt a lot of stuff along the way. Dave has a good sense of humour and does not belittle you if you make mistakes. Very easy going and once i get the hang of a 125 i will use him to help me get my full licence. The bike i used was in great condition considering its used to train people there was very little damage. If you are thinking about doing bike training then i would highly recommend using Apex.

Travis 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Top notch instructor, will ensure you pass with a breeze. Great if you're looking for one on one lessons over group lessons, definitely more value for your money.

Adrian Taylor 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dave is a great trainer and got me all the way through from CBT to full license with ease. He's good company whilst you're training and the bikes are great to ride. Highly recommended.

Stephen Hodgson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant, been using Dave for CBT'S on a number of occasions, decided to go for the full schbang and get my full licence. Never used geared bikes up to this point and never thought i'd be able to do it but Dave's proved me wrong and got me through my GEARED CBT with no issues and stuck with me every step of the way and got me a pass on my full test. Can't thank him enough hes a legend with years of experience. You wanna do bikes you give Dave a call

mike stain 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dave is fantastic and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Professional, polite and clearly passionate about riding and helping others become good, safe rider. I passed first time on both modules after being told I was ready for it. I looked forward to my lessons as I thoroughly enjoyed being out for the ride as well as taking in all the information/feedback being given to me. Would give 10 stars if I could

He is very keen on not only getting you through your test, but also making you the best/safest rider you can be.

Nick CONNELL 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I took my CBT on a very rainy Saturday with Dave, and I the only way I can describe his course is perfect. He made me feel at ease with his vast knowledge and covered every detail to make me feel confident in using a 125 cc bike safely on the roads. I will most definitely be booking my direct access training with Dave at Apex. Thank you!

Christopher Coll 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT today with Dave . Brilliant tutor grate advice couldn't fault at all

Michael Fowler 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was looking for an individual training course that was delivered to my needs/experience rather than a process or tick box training schedule. I used Apex due to the reviews and that after speaking to Dave, the training wasn’t about going through a process, it was designed and practised based on what I needed including the essentials for meeting the qualifications. Dave assessed my experience/skills and trained me to meet the requirements and pass my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2. My experience was totally positive and Dave’s instruction enabled me to achieve a full A category. A big thank you and I can honestly say that I will miss the training, advice, humour, breakfasts and the odd telling off when I wasn’t thinking or focused.

Charles Hunt 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dave's a first-rate instructor and top man! I had very little experience on bikes, but Dave has taken me smoothly through CBT to passing DAS Mod 2 over the last 3 months. Dave helped to build my confidence on the smaller bikes before moving up on size, all the time offering expert guidance on all aspects of motorcycling and road safety. Training was great fun, tailored to my needs on perfectly maintained bikes, and with good quality loan gear, and I felt very well prepared for both tests. A great experience that I can't recommend highly enough if you're thinking of learning to ride!

allan cortez 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dave is the best instructor ever, I’ve gone through cbt, mod 1 and mod 2 with him. Individual training is the best way to go and Dave is the man to do it. Fantastic well maintained bikes, his knowledge of motorcycling and the roads is enormous. Can’t recommend Apex enough. Ride safe Ride with Apex

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience learning and passing both MOD1 and MOD2 with Dave. If you want to get on a motorbike and want someone you can trust then this is the place to come. Dave is a great teacher and designs the whole training experience around your individual needs. Therefore you only end up paying for the training you actually need. The bikes are kept in good order and you'll have fun as well as learning. On top of all that Dave is a nice bloke and there is always the offer of a brew after your lesson. Cheers Dave!

Fantastic experience: Dave is a great instructor, very professional and very easy to get on with. He help me get through all stages of attaining my full bike license, CBT, mod 2 and mod 1. Would definitely recommend Dave to anyone interested in learning to ride a motorcycle, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed learning with Dave and completed my Direct Access with relative ease. As a new (and female) rider, he was really patient with me and helped me get my head around some aspects I was struggling with without being condescending. Really flexible and willing to squeeze students in whenever possible to get the most out the training. Bikes are excellent and well maintained and the one-to-one instruction made me feel valued and I definitely got more out of it than if there were more students. Affordable pricing without compromising on quality. Thank you Dave!
