Motorcycle Training Wales: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience learning with Mtw, I was able to do two taster sessions and pass my cbt first time with the help of John and Rob. They were incredibly helpful and always very supportive and encouraging!! A huge thankyou to John and Rob!! I would highly recommend!️
Fantastic experience: Another taster done today and I can’t fault the instructor’s patience, direction, and effort in making sure I got he best out of my taster. I definitely won’t leave it too long before next one, as I’m still on the fence if this is for me (always pillion) either way I gain more respect and knowledge even at this old age Highly recommend even if you simply try it.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended training school. Came here with a CBT and no other experience and left with a big bike licence! Big thank you to paul, gethin and Dave for my MOD1 & MOD2 training. Cool, calm, patient, knowledgeable and straight-talking instructors that allow you to carry out training at your own pace with no pressure. Very accommodating with lessons and training bookings. Good training yard in a convenient location with easy parking . Got me a smaller bike for my little legs and helped me feel more confident knowing my feet could firmly touch the ground Thanks again you all for getting me to pass a full motorcycle license .

Fantastic experience: I had a great day during my CBT training in Motorcycle Training Wales in Pontypridd . Special thank you to John who made it easy and enjoyable. He also helped me to understand the importance of safe riding and road hazards. His practical tips were greatly appreciated and his sense of humor made the training a pleasurable experience. Thank you and see you soon.
Fantastic experience: I have completed my CBT, mod 1 and mod 2 with MTW at both the Pontypridd and Swansea sites. I would thoroughly recommend MTW for your motorcycle training. The equipment and bikes are of great quality. The instructors are experienced and provide very good tutorship. For the mod 1 and mod 2 there is ample time on the day of the test for training as the training is well structured and gives you a great idea of what to expect in the real test. For prospective prior to my mod 1 and 2 I had not ridden anything bigger than a 125cc and that was only during my CBT. Yet under the guidance of the MTW instructors I passed first time in both the mod 1 and 2 on a CB650R. Thank you so much MTW.
Fantastic experience: Never ridden a bike in my life. These guys were so patient and friendly. Had a few lessons and passed my CBT today. Just want to say thankyou guys. Anyone wants to do their CBT I would highly recommend these .
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended training school. Came here with a CBT and no other experience and left with a big bike licence! Big thank you to Gethin and Dave for my MOD1 & MOD2 training. Cool, calm, patient, knowledgeable and straight-talking instructors that allow you to carry out training at your own pace with no pressure. Very accommodating with lessons and training bookings. Good training yard in a convenient location with easy parking and a ladies’ toilet! The lowered seat Honda CB650R they offer was perfect for my little legs and helped me feel more confident knowing my feet could firmly touch the floor. Thanks again both, super chuffed with the “A” addition to my licence!
Fantastic experience: John was a great trainer. Passed my CBT first time with no experience thanks to him. Couldn't reccomend more.
Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT, Mod 1 & Mod 2 thanks to MTW. Fantastic instructors who gave me confidence for every test and supported me in every way + plenty of banter and light heartedness to make the days go by easily. The support provided was exceptional, after failing my Mod 1 on the first go, the instructors supported me to make a claim against the DVSA. It was determined that I should not have failed and the DVSA reimbursed my money for this. This was in no way MTW's fault and more down the examiner on the day, but MTW helped me to claim that money back. Fully passed and on my big bike now! Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Done my cbt with mtw, highly recommended. Very professional and very knowledgeable
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service provided by John and the team at MTW. The level of instruction was excellent for CBT. With a range of riding experience within the group, John (instructor) catered the training to suit everyone's needs. Very professional, with the training delivered in a relaxed atmosphere to ensure everyone got the most from the CBT. Will absolutely be using them to conduct mod 1 & 2.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to learn, did my cbt and mod 1 & mod 2, instructors are patient and make you feel relaxed. I'd recommend to anyone
Fantastic experience: Great training school! Did my CBT and MoD 1 with patient instructions who are focused on you passing the test. Everything is calm and organised. Kitchen could do with a clean but you are not coming here for the tea. Looking forward to Mod 2 later this month!
Fantastic experience: With no prior experience on a motorcycle, John (the instructor) gave me confidnce and the ability to pass my CBT and some advice and tips to progress onto my mod 1 and 2. Great quality of people and fair skill evaluation.
Fantastic experience: Passed my MOD1 on second attempt (foot down on U-turn) and MOD2 on first attempt with the guys down at MTW and couldn't be happier. Great guidance and training to get you ready for your tests and plenty of advice and insight into how to get it done on the right way. Genuinely impressed by the set up and obvious investment they make with their trainees, wouldn't think about going elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing day with John, our trainer. Couldn't ask for a better trainer. We went for an amazing ride that i will remember for a long time to come and will be taking the same route again. John made sure we were safe and confident every step of the way. Thanks John, see you all when i do my mod 1 and 2. *Update* Since my first review i have done both my Mod1 and Mod2 and i passed both first time. I would put this down to the brilliant training i had. Thank you guys :-)
Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT with Paul on the 7/4/24, this guy has got so much knowledge and patience and is very passionate about his job, this made me feel safe with the constant information through the ride over the ear piece, absolute credit to the company
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to John for helping me get my CBT license today. I am absolutely thrilled I was terribly nervous on the way there but as soon as I meet John I felt more at ease straight away. As an instructor he is first class. He explains everything in an easy to understand way and gives plenty of encouragement and feedback when needed. He is extremely patient with new riders knowing how nervous most of us are. When you’re out on the road you feel 100% safe as John is reassuring and guiding you all the way. I would encourage anyone who may be feeling nervous like I was this morning to go ahead and book your CBT. I am an instructor myself (car) and I know you won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: I had the absolute pleasure of having john as my cbt instructor, he is definitely one of the most respectful and patient instructor I've had the pleasure of using, would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Great day of testing down at Swansea on Sunday.
Fantastic experience: All the guys at MTW are brilliant, very patient, very knowledgeable, passed my Mod 1 & Mod 2 with these guys, would highly recommend to anybody looking to do there bike tests with them.
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend this place enough.John is a brilliant instructor he goes through everything very clearly and is very patient in term of guiding you on everything that need work and questions that we have .Thank you so much for the experience and getting me through my CBT highly recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Excellent support and training from all the guys here especially Gethin and dave for getting me through my MOD 1 and MOD 2 highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I had my CBT with John on Feb 9th. I was very nervous as I had never ridden a bike on the road before. After a quick chat and run through of what the day included, he made me feel much more relaxed. His training and explanations were spot on which made my confidence grow quickly which meant that I couldn't wait to get out on the road. We had good banter along the way which kept my nerves down and loved every minute of it, even though the weather was wet and cold. I will be booking my Direct Access through MTW again as soon as I've passed my theory.
Fantastic experience: Honestly can’t thank John enough for helping me pass my CBT. From the second I got there, John was very welcoming and was very throughout when teaching me the theory behind it. When learning to ride the bike, John was very patient and helped me overcome little difficulties I had. While out on the road, John was very reassuring and made me feel safely confident. I was quite nervous before arriving, but John made the day fun from start to finish. Anyone debating doing their CBT should book in ASAP with John, really cannot recommend him enough. Once again, thank you and I will see you in future!
Fantastic experience: Done theory 02 jan 2024 mod 1 and 2 done by 25th....... this team at mtw u cannot fault. Patient. Friendly and a good laugh. Dont be afraid to contact them from cbt upwards absolute legends.......... passed first time on all.
Fantastic experience: Very good training school
Fantastic experience: John is Brilliant. Totally blew my nerves away, friendly totally honest. Highly recommend.Cheers John
Fantastic experience: I feel so lucky to have picked MTW in Skewen to do my Mod 1 and Mod 2 Cat A. I'm 70 and seem to have developed some rather bad habits. They treated me with great patience and got me there - great bikes and great people! Many, many thanks.
Fantastic experience: Saw one of the awesome instructors out while on my first ride after passing my Direct Access scheme so here is my review. Went through my CBT, mod1 & 2 with MTW. Impressive instructors such as Dave but not him alone the whole team are great at their jobs. Highly recommend MTW for anyone wanting to get on the road on 2 wheels and don't let age be a deterrent. Thanks MTW.
Fantastic experience: Came to MTW to do my CBT today. John, the instructor, explained the whole day and put us at ease. I had very little experience of riding but found the course gave me the skills and confidence to be able to go out and ride safely on the road. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Had my cpt today with John in Llandarcy all i can say is what a truly amazing guy constantly giving me information when i need it. hopefully will be seeing you guys in January to book my mod 1 and 2 once i get my theory passed
Fantastic experience: John what an amazing and knowledgeable guy I walked in 9am nervous as hell and walked out with confidence and all the knowledge to ride safely I'm already planning my full bike licence next year and it will be at motorcycle training Wales without doubt
Fantastic experience: My son took his test unfortunately he failed it this time. All being well he will pass it next time.
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my CBT training here, instructions very clear and super friendly! John was great and was super clear about what I needed to do and how to do it
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this company. Did my CBT today , was pretty nervous but Jon our instructor was great, put me at ease and with an honest, calm approach kept me going.. Thanks for a great experience
Fantastic experience: One of the best experiences I’ve had. From never touching a bike till I went for my CBT at this training centre. The instructor was very professional and experienced, and he got me going quickly. I was also impressed with how calm and helpful John was during the practice and road test. They also have tea and coffee what more could you want. If you’re considering the CBT you are in very competent hands. If you have nerves about it just come down anyway the instructors will know if your capable or not and won’t make you do anything they don’t think your capable of.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to the whole team at MTW, couldn't recommend them enough. Knowledgeable, patient and great value for money teaching. Did my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 with them.
Fantastic experience: Just want to say thank you to MTW. Kev and Paul were so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, they want you to pass and it shows. If you want to get you licence you couldn't do better that to give these people a call.
Fantastic experience: Mod 1 done, training to high standards and passed 1st attempt, mod 2 this Friday
Fantastic experience: Recently completed my CBT here. I couldn’t have asked for helpful and understanding instructors. At all times everything was explained, we were encouraged to ask questions and our confidence and issues were fully discussed and overcome. Could not recommend highly enough. Tim
Fantastic experience: A very professional outfit. Great training facilities, the staff are very knowledgeable and have been at this for 23 years. I passed my MOD 1, and Mod 2 with them, And Gethin my instructor was first class. Five stars all day long.
Fantastic experience: Excellent people they got me through my test first time
Fantastic experience: I rate them very 5x all day, sound guys thought well, test tomorrow
Fantastic experience: Did all my training with these guys. Thanks for helping me get through my licences
Fantastic experience: Recently completed the CBT with Motorcycle Training Wales and it was great. Our instructor was Paul, who was knowledgeable, patient and easy to get on with. He took a laid-back approach, which I feel is important with beginners, to ensure we performed in a safe and calm manner. Had a great day. Lots of fun. I’d highly recommend doing a CBT with these guys.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, patient and takes time to make sure you know what you're doing. Thorough and informative, would definitely recommend if you're going for a CBT
Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT recently. Loads of patience with all of us on course, very clear and helpful with training and further advice. Will be booking Direct Access with these ASAP. Edited. Completed Mod 1 and Mod 2 with these guys and again absolutely amazing, super helpful throughout and great and guiding you through the tests
Fantastic experience: Absolutely would recommend, had little to no experience on motorbikes but the instructors were very patient and u der standing with me and soon got me riding confidently. Special thanks to Paul on getting me my CBT license absolute top bloke thank you mate.

Fantastic experience: Excellent.
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT here today Instructor was excellent and understanding Received my CBT Certificate same day, highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with MCW at the Llandarcy site and the around Swansea for the ride out. A great refresher after not being on a bike for at least 44 years. The instructor John had a lot of patience, resulting in a successful pass. A great team to be and work with. I did mine with another and we both thoroughly enjoyed it.
Fantastic experience: Completed both mods 1st time with help from MTW! patient and great at communicating instructions. Would recommend for cbt or mods. Great center
Fantastic experience: CBT, theory, Mod1 and Mod2 completed all within 3 weeks and 2 days. From saying I would never get a bike to getting my full category A. Big thanks to the guys at Mtw Wales . Had the pleasure of being trained by most of the instructors all of which were top guys. The training bikes I rode, 125's and the Honda 650's were near new, very well kept and dream to ride! First big ride out today on the MT07
Thankyou Rikki. Nice to have met you and help you on your way to that full licence. Dont forget us when you need tyres. We always look after our customers with prices and fitting Regards Gethin
Fantastic experience: Did my cbt today the guys was amazing made everyone feel comfortable took the time to make sure every1 was comfortable with the bikes good banter highly recommended will definitely gi here for my mods thank you for a fantastic experience and day
Fantastic experience: Great instructors, took my CBT here with Paul after having an hours assessment the week before with Kevin. I would definitely recommend doing the hours assessment before booking the CBT it really helped. Everything was explained clearly and concisely before going on the bikes. I'll definitely be going back for more lessons to take my full test. Really friendly and welcoming guys.
Fantastic experience: MTW are in my opinion first class , Kev is one top guy (instructor) Honest training awesome bikes new models if your looking to become a bike rider look no further MTW are the guys
Fantastic experience: Really happy with the gang, thank you so much for getting me through my test.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place. Lovely patient people and great bikes. CBT, Mod-1 and Mod-2 all completed in less than a week and for a very fair price. Thank You all.
Fantastic experience: Arrived having had a terrible CBT experience with another company and, therefore, with no confidence that I'd actually be able to do it. They managed to sort me a CBT with 2 days notice and the instructors immediately put me at ease. Kev was incredible at building my confidence and was really down to earth. Despite living in England, I will definitely be making the journey again to do my further training towards my DAS. To anyone that's as nervous as I was, this is definitely the place to do it.
Fantastic experience: Me and my mate have completed CBT,Mod 1,(fist time) and have our Mod 2 booked January so I'm sure the Mod 2 training will be as good as the previous training we have had from the Swansea Team.Thanks
Fantastic experience: Recently done my cbt, theory, mod 1 and mod 2 all within 3 months. All the instructors are extremely friendly and patient. I had dave for mod 1 and gethin for mod 2 both really nice guys and extremely helpful. Passed first time on all of them thanks to the training provided and on the day of my mod 2 I didn't have much equipment and Paul was nice enough to lend me a neck scarf so I could concentrate on my test and not the cold. Highly recommend Motorcyle training wales for all aspects of motorcycle training!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic friendly knowledgeable staff.
Fantastic experience: Awsome training, instructor great , I recommend .
Fantastic experience: One of the best driving schools around very reasonable on price to other schools and passed my cbt with them at there ponty site and did my mod1 with them in swansea and passed first time and had my mod 2 test with them this week in merthyr and passed first time thanks to the help of the bike trainers at mtw and with only 6 hours road ride time for all parts shows how much these guys are good at what they do
Fantastic experience: Excellent training centre, make you feel very relaxed and were a big help. I passed Mod 1 and 2 first try, so they must be doing something right!
Fantastic experience: Paul is a total legend, the man has the patience of a Saint! I cannot thank you enough for being so patient and encouraging. I went from a total novice, having barely even ridden a push bike to passing my CBT and wanting to continue with lessons for a motorbike! Amazing all round, professional, patient and was able to give confidence and road skills and safety knowledge to someone who was petrified of driving in any capacity at all!!!

Fantastic experience: A really enjoyable day doing my CBT. Paul the instructor was great. Looking forward to doing my MOD1 with them..
Fantastic experience: Mtw great guys had my mod 2 training with dave a week ago had my mod two with gethin today and passed first time thanks again lads
Fantastic experience: Recently travelled an hour to get to these guys for my Mod 1 and Mod 2 due to lack of availability in my local area. Katie was fantastic at putting my mind at ease when booking me in and very honest about the whole process. Managed to do both Mod 1 and 2 in a space of about 6 days and passed first time. Dave the instructor was amazing, very patient, really informative and encouraging. Was really nervous about the whole process but can’t thank them enough. Would highly recommend these guys for training in the South Wales area. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT training here, the training and trainer were very good. We had Paul as our trainer who was excellent. Explained everything very well and gave me the confidence to ride on the road safely.
Fantastic experience: Done 2 cbt courses here highly recommended. Planning on doing my A2 license with them ASAP
Fantastic experience: Best in Wales make sure if your thinking of getting your licence. Go to these guys!!!
Fantastic experience: Fabulous training facility, great ship for motorcycle products, engaging friendly staff. Newly appointed Stomp distributor
Fantastic experience: Excellent training with the instructor; clear, patient and really helped to build confidence. The bikes are excellent, (Honda CBR650s) and very easy to ride for a newbie to bigger bikes. Great that we each had our own bike to get used to and a warm up and run through the morning of the test. We then rode to the test centre on the same bike to do our test. All really useful to get to know the bike and do the MOD1 with confidence. I passed with 2 minor faults (shoulder check on the U turn and only 49kph on the collision avoidance); the bike was lovely with loads of torque with very low risk of stalling, easy to ride. Great training and thank you MTW. I will be back to do my MOD2.
Fantastic experience: Very patient trainers, highly recommend ...
Fantastic experience: Just did my CBT with these guys yesterday and was left very impressed with them. Everyone I came in contact with was warm, friendly and informative. From Gethin, Dave and Tony to Kate in the shop, nothing was too much trouble. I started from zero upon arrival and left with my CBT at the end of the day. Although I was the only customer there with no experience I never once felt under any pressure or criticism. A throughly enjoyable day. Thank you guys.
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a good and reliable place to get your CBT or license then come to these guys. I've done everything with them, I started with a CBT and then I went ahead to get my A2 license, and now 2 years later I was able to progress further and do my full Category A license, and I did everything first try. They have the best instructors in my opinion
Fantastic experience: Excellent place to learn how to use a motorbike and very helpful staff and very friendly aswell if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask..
