Bryans Motorcycle Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Can’t thank these guys enough, taking me step by step through CBT , MOD 1 and 2 intensive training to pass first time. Excellent training all carried out in a friendly professional environment….. they go the extra mile !
Fantastic experience: As total novices we did a two day CBT with Bryans in May. Neil was really patient and an excellent teacher. So, when we decided to go for full licences an intensive course with Bryans was the obvious choice. Everyone is helpful, friendly and encouraging. They make you feel like you're not hardwork at all (I'm sure I was!) and Bryans is definitely the reason why I now enjoy riding so much.
Fantastic experience: Great team that brought me and my wife from complete beginners, CBT and then full license holders. Comprehensive training got is through Mod 1 and Mod 2 with great results. Thanks Bryans. Martin and Andrea.
Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT and full license with Bryans Motorcycle Training. Having just completed the intensive course with John. John was excellent and lead me to complete both my Mod 1 and Mod 2 in a week. Can't thank you and the team enough!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking to complete CBT or DAS then only go to Bryans. All the instructors are friendly, professional and most of all patient. I used Bryans with minimal previous experience on a motorbike and passed MOD 1 & MOD 2 first time within 7 days, thanks to my instructor. John gave feedback continually throughout the week in both positive & constructive where I was making mistakes, giving clear instruction and demonstrations where need to help me get it right. I cannot recommend Bryans enough and I will be returning to complete BikeSense next year.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant staff and facilities. My instructor John, was very patient and supportive and got me through my Mod 1 & Mod 2. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Really helpful staff, and treated me really well. I’ve been trying to pass within my area (London) but did not pass due to minor issues, and the teaching in London was poor. Found Bryan’s school on google and I did not regret my choice. Shout out to John for getting me ready and covering all aspects for Module 2 with his experience it was really easy to understand. Travelling from London to Stoke was definitely worth it, and I ended up passing first time. Thanks to all the team. Kash
Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Bryan’s enough. I booked on for a 7 day intensive course with 0 riding experience, day 1 was the CBT and Neil made me feel so comfortable and confident from the get go, made things easy to understand, and really went above and beyond a CBT training course, then I had John for the remainder of my course and again just like Neil did really went above and beyond, asking questions to why, showing clear reasons for why it’s done this way why it’s best to ride in positions and picking up on your weaknesses and quickly turning them into a strength. All the members of staff were always polite and always how I was doing giving tips and advice. I can’t recommend these enough and I certainly wouldn’t have been so relaxed come test days if it wasn’t for the way they handles the whole experience. Thank you very very much
Fantastic experience: i was very nervous for my cbt but john was very helpful and understanding and led me through it all step by step i really enjoyed it and i’m now riding on the road ☺️
Fantastic experience: Firstly I would like to thank all the staff at Bryan’s motorcycle training, passed my A license first time Having not had much exposure to motorcycles I decided to spread my training out over a few months as opposed to enrolling on a condensed course, I thought this approach would work better for me and it payed off. The training that Kev and the team of instructors at Bryan’s provide is top class, their experience and relaxed methods of instruction can't be faulted, the equipment and bikes are excellent (brand new fleet of Triumph bikes) all in all can’t recommend this place enough, I will definitely be coming back for some progressive training
Fantastic experience: The best there is, Its really that simple. If you struggle with anxiety or are just looking for a positive environment with patience and understanding these are the guys to train with. Everyone is friendly and open the bikes and equipment are top quality. Honestly you can’t go wrong.
Fantastic experience: Having just passed my Mod 1 and Mod 2 at Bryan’s in 6 days is down to the excellent training received. Having never been on a larger capacity bike it seemed quite daunting at first but its surprising how fast you pick it up. John was my instructor who taught me on their new triumph 660’s and his skills as an instructor are exceptional. I had gone from being almost oblivious to what was around me whilst riding to being able to recall all signage I had just passed. Johns skills he has taught me I think will stay with me forever and I cannot thank him enough for teaching me how to ride confidently and safely. I m sure I can still hear your voice in my head when I’m ridding. I’ll certainly never miss the turning for tatenhill again! Thankyou to all at Bryan’s, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to everyone I meet. Best Regards, Chris.
Fantastic experience: returning to riding after many years i was guided through my cbt course by Jim, brilliant and patient instructor, i felt at ease the entire time without being rushed till he was happy i was ready to go on the road, stress free completion that could usually leave you anxious took a weight off getting back to grips with things, so glad i chose them.
Fantastic experience: Despite having a somewhat negative experience doing a CBT and larger bike taster session at another place, both myself and my son wanted to complete a direct access course to get our A and A2 license respectively, We visited Bryan's to have a look around and had an initial chat to the lovely Trish explaining our previous negative experience with an instructor elsewhere and made it clear we wanted someone who was both knowledgeable and knew how to teach constructively and patiently. We booked ourselves on the 6 day direct access. There are other places that offered similar direct access in less time (for not much less money) but Trish explained the approach is to start on 125cc and slowly move up. Trish was able to tailor the course dates as we were unable to attend on a Sunday and all was set. On the course itself, we were assigned to John who so happens to be the chief instructor. All we can say is that he's absolutely brilliant - a very knowledgeable biker and has a very positive, patient, calm and constructively teaching style. There was always feedback on how to improve, whether it was practising on the mod 1 area or when out on the road. After each session there was useful hints and tips. No question was too dumb, and the answer explained with logic and rationale as to why this or that was so. It was tiring at times (it's not called an intense course for nothing!) but the whole atmosphere of the place is just supportive and positive. Both my son and myself would not hesitate one iota to recommend Bryan's to anyone wanting to learn the art of riding, from CBT to advanced training. We both passed mod 1 and mod 2 first time too! It's worthwhile to give a shout out to the main man himself Kev and also Jim "hulk hogan" who contributed to the positive experience for us. The new Triumph bikes they use are pretty awesome as well! Thank you Trish, John, Kev and Jim - you all made it an absolute pleasure.
Fantastic experience: If your thinking of doing your motorbike License then look no further than Bryans. I passed my Mod1 and MOD 2 first time around thanks to the help of the brilliant instructors, Shout out to Kev, Neil and Trish your all awesome.. I Spent most time with John, Top guy, great sense of humour and very knowledgeable when it comes to motorbike instructing, highly recommend! All the best for the future, Many thanks, Jamie
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to learn, the instructors are great. The place has a chilled out friendly relaxing feel to it, which is great for nervous or first time riders. Neil for the CBT was brilliant. John for my lessons and tests absolutely fantastic, plenty of time for me and plenty of attention to area's in which need improving to get ready for my tests. Mod 1 and Mod 2 passed first time after a semi-intensive course across three weeks. I would highly recommend anyone to these guys in the future.
Fantastic experience: I was fortunate enough to have passed Mod 1 and Mod 2 this week. Minors were 0 and 2 something which I can only attribute to the stellar standards of teaching at Bryans Motorcycle Training. I completed my CBT in (Mar 2024) with Jim and Neil- my first ever taste of riding a motorbike and swiftly came back for more thanks to the encouragement and positive reinforcement received. Proceeded to have a few more lessons (thanks Kev :P) before starting my DAS course. Day one of DAS course, the prognosis of my being in this current situation was bleak. So, when I say John worked his magic over the next four days, I say it with no exaggeration . With his exceptional patience and calming aura we got through the most challenging but rewarding motor vehicle experience of my life. As a woman I would recommend this training school with no hesitation. For anyone worried about being treated differently because of gender and size, not something to even consider here. To Trish, John, Kev, Jim and Neil… thank you for choosing to share your passions and make a difference in this world.
Fantastic experience: I'm 50 and looking to get my bikers licence, the people at Bryans Motorcycle Training where great, really patient & very informative. I'm now looking forward to the next step with them
Fantastic experience: Just amazingly brilliant. I've waited a couple of days to let it all sink in. I did the 5 day intensive DAS course. I was so nervous about everything, but John and all the tream settled me down. I was determined to have fun and whatever the outcome, take away better riding skills. I passed and I don't think I would have if it wasn't for John's gentle coaxing, attention to detail and his teaching style. As a woman sometimes you can feel the eye rolls but I felt totally accepted here. John does deserve a bonus (Kevin). I wish now I'd done my CBT here, I'd have had a better skill set. Just cant recommend highly enough. I'll definitely be back for advanced rider training. Your all amazing thank you.
Fantastic experience: After much deliberation and researching other companies in the area, I booked a 5-day intensive DAS course with Bryans. I initially booked through BMW's site, but I highly recommend calling directly as I did not receive any confirmation emails. I called several times for confirmation and to ask various questions. Kev answered every single time, and he was friendly and extremely helpful, which made me look forward to my booking even more. I hadn't ridden properly in over 7 years due to an accident that shattered my confidence on two wheels. I was really anxious that 5 days wouldn't be enough, but Bryans instantly put me at ease with their friendliness, professionalism, and well-organized setup. This support was crucial when getting back on the bikes. I spent my week with John and Kev, who both imparted a wealth of helpful information in a short amount of time and made the entire experience fantastic. They covered every aspect of Mod 1 and Mod 2 and answered all my questions with complete certainty. I passed both Mod 1 and Mod 2 on my first attempt, thanks to these two gentlemen. Nothing came up during the tests that they hadn't thoroughly prepared me for. I also observed other team members teaching aspects of CBT to various students. Their approach was perfect—friendly, humorous, yet highly educational and professional. If I had to do it all over again, I'd choose Bryans every single time. Thanks again gents.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant training given throughout the week, made the whole process enjoyable while learning what to do and not to do in most cases . 1st class instructors and top equipment recommend to anyone wishing to get started on a motorbike
Fantastic experience: I took a 7 day course from CBT to full bike license. I learned a lot from very experienced, knowledgeable and friendly instructors. Everyone at Bryans were very friendly and helpful. I passed my test, but more importantly I learned about riding well, and safely. When I have some more of my own riding experience, I will be back for more advanced riding lessons, because all of us road users always have room to improve. Thanks you!
Fantastic experience: Excellent training friendly and professional, passed mod1 and 2 ease.
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend highly enough for anyone wanting to learn or develop their skills. I hadn’t ridden before and opted for the Direct Access. The facilities are excellent and the whole team are friendly. All the equipment was provided and included in my booking, the bikes are all new and maintained extremely well. The team of instructors are all great, top of their game and a special thanks to Jim and John for their expert advise and hard work in getting me through my tests at the first attempt all within a week. Anyone not sure on booking, give Bryans a call and they will offer a plan to suit you, or do what I did and book online, super easy and the follow up contact didn’t leave me wondering what’s next. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Fantastic experience: This is an amazing riding school with brilliant instructors who are professional and will make riding fun and easy even for new and nervous riders. Thanks John for helping me to complete both my mod 1&2 and to become a more confident rider 100% recommend
Fantastic experience: I came to Bryan's Rider Training as a complete rookie through the aptly named rookie to rider package having researched for hours on the benefits of doing so. A 7days intensive course lay ahead of me starting on a 125cc to a 310cc and then a 750GS. During my time there I met Trish on the front desk, John, Jim, Kev and Neil who were all fantastically supportive and have their process down to a smooth extremely well oil structured operation. Once foundations on the pad were established with Jim I was then handed over to John the chief instructor. He then went on to develop my riding skills to beyond test standards with emphasis on becoming the safest rider you can be not just to pass the MOD1 and MOD2 tests. Believe me when I say everything is picked up on and improved upon John really knows his roadcraft and this is evident having the maximum DVSA score possible, all reassuring stuff when your learning as a complete rookie. This was an absolutely fantastic experience that is evident in so many other reviews. Bryans has something very special and would urge anyone to take the leap if they are considering it. I passed both MOD1 and MOD2 first time within 7 days never having ridden so much as a moped. I believe this speaks volumes on the quality of training. Thanks guys you were all brilliant keep up the great work. Cheers Alistair
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT which I passed thanks to Jim (instructor) and then I went on to do a 5 day course with John (instructor) which I did my mod 1 and mod 2 passes both tests. All the crew at Brayns were fantastic and very helpful. I would highly recommend bryans 5 star
Fantastic experience: Massive Thank You to everyone at Bryan's Motorcycle Training, just completed my intensive 7 day course to go from complete novice with no riding experience to completing cbt on a 125cc to mod 1 and mod 2 first time round on a 750cc, the confidence that the whole team gives you makes anything possible, to anyone thinking of any kind of motorcycle training this is the place to call, all the training was delivered in such an amazing way, massive Thank you to Jim on helping me get through my CBT and John who took me all week through all the training to get me pass my mod 1 and 2 the knowledge of both of these gents is unbelievable and the dedication the team has in delivering the training in a way that makes it easy and comfortable for you to complete is just amazing, Thank You All!!!
Fantastic experience: Echoing many of the positive reviews about Bryan’s - I could not recommend it highly enough. The whole team were very encouraging and friendly offering top quality bikes and a full mod 1 practice area. I did the intensive course with John who was a true gentleman and a consummate professional - it was a pleasure to get to know him over the course of the week. As the website alludes to, the 7 day course is full on. I had a big commute on top of the days training with two small kids waiting to jump on me at home so don’t underestimate how mentally and physically tired you will be, I had never touched a bike before this so there was a lot to digest. If you have any hesitations about booking, don’t, you won’t regret it. To all at Bryan’s - Keep up the great work & I’ll see you at some point in the future for some advanced training. Alex.
Fantastic experience: Did an intensive 7 day course here and would definitely recommend. John Doyle was an amazing instructor who doesn't miss anything going on with your riding. Great feedback and instructions to really progress in the time. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Byrans BMW training west Midlands is 110% fantastic highly recommended, john the instructor omg what a guy absolute gentleman is teaching skills and patience is second to none he made me feel comfortable and we all so had a good laugh inbetween I couldn't thank him enough, if you looking for anything motorbike training from CBT all the way to DAS this is the place , thank you to all team for helping me pass my fall motorbike licence DAS
Fantastic experience: A fantastic week doing my direct access course. Thanks for a great week
Fantastic experience: Completed the 5 day intense course and i highly recommend Bryans. John was a fantastic instructor, total professional, calm, friendly and really knew his stuff, as are the rest of the team. If you want top quality motorbike training, then look no further than Bryans. Big thanks to John and the team.
Fantastic experience: All trainers were very professional, gave more than enough information and clear instruction without coming across as patronising guiding you through the process and requirements needed to obtain the license you have gone for. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to do any form of motorcycle training in a heartbeat! Well and truly enjoyed my experience with the company and would do it all again. Massive thanks to all at Bryan’s! Regards, Luke
Fantastic experience: Did my last cbt with bmw Stoke
Fantastic experience: Brilliant 5 days down at Bryans Rider Training. Kevin was fantastic at instructing, and the whole team were incredibly friendly and supportive throughout the whole process. 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing experience. Went from zero experience on bikes to passing Mod 2 with zero faults in a week. John was very knowledgeable and knew what I had to achieve to improve my riding skills over the 7 days. Such a great team could not recommend them enough. Keep up the hard work. Thanks for all the support.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding bunch at Bryan’s BMW rider training. Did a week intensive course for DAS, having had a couple years experience in a 125 some 5/6 years previously and recently redoing my CBT. They tailored the course ever so slightly as I had previous experience and the other student was brand new which really helped build that initial confidence back up and make the most of the time. Every member of staff was kind and friendly which really helps put you at ease and all were extremely helpful. I’ve had many different instructors over the years for various different things and these are the best instructors I’ve EVER had. Could not recommend them enough. Well done John and Kev. Amazed you got me to a level I could pass without a single fault, everyone at Bryan’s should be proud of what they’ve created there and what they’re part of. Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: I have recently just completed the 7 days DAS course at Bryans stoke on Trent. What a fantastic experience i have had. a massive shout out to john my instructor, what a gentleman you are. john took me from a rookie and i mean a proper rookie to a rider who was able to achieve a pass in my mod 1 and 2 first time. thanks john for your patience and passing on your wealth of knowledge and your hard work that you put in for me to gain my full licence. Cannot thankyou enough thanks to kev,roz and Trish for all your support throughout my 7 day course. Kev at Bryans you have a fantastic setup and most importantly a fantastic team. i cannot recommend Bryans enough once again thanks for the experience
Fantastic experience: This team is amazing and well recommended and a big massive thank you to JIM for the outstanding teaching today and I passed.
Fantastic experience: This is just the best place for a CBT course. All lovely, friendly people with buckets of experience and patience. Thanks to Roz two years ago and the fab Jim this week who almost cured me of my habit of not switching off my indicators with a " Sandra..bleep bleep bleep"! Sandra
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic, friendly team with special thanks to daz who made the day enjoyable whilst giving clear concise instructions left the place with massive smile
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend them enough! Such a great team! 10/10 - I passed my mod 1 & 2 first time with this riding school. On booking the 5 day intensive course they were very helpful on explaining what the course consists of as well as booking me in for a half day lesson prior to the course. On my half day lesson I had Kev as my instructor who is very friendly (like the whole team) and he got me out on the road and then explained mod 1 on their own mod 1 course. This really helped me get ready for the intensive course. On the 5 day course I had John as my instructor who was very patient and explained things well. The course itself isn’t called ‘intensive’ for no reason, it was hard work but very rewarding at the end. You learn everything you need to ride correctly and safely. Test day came and I passed mod 1 and 2 first time! Big thanks to John and the team.
Fantastic experience: I have just completed the 7 day intensive course and I must say that I have received what can only be described and the most outstanding training experience I have ever had. From the moment I arrived I was treated like I belonged and I found that the people were amazing I enjoyed meeting the staff and working with them and the other candidates were friendly too. A special mention goes to John without who my A licence journey would not have been possible he provided me with everything I needed to pass and when I was struggling he supported me and tailored all aspects of the training to suit me. I would recommend Bryans to anyone who is contemplating their bike test if you want the all round complete experience they are simply the best. Once again thank you to you all Kev, Trish, John and the rest of the team for everything. Tim
Fantastic experience: Bryan’s was an incredible experience. I did the 7 day intensive for direct access. I hadn’t ridden a bike for almost 40 years and they helped me get my full licence in 7 days. All the instructors are very experienced, amazingly patient and very professional. I can’t recommend them enough. They cause you to relax from day one and work through every issue. In the end I felt I made some good friends. If you want motorbike training. Look no further. Bryan’s are the best. Simon Mawdsley.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and brilliant service can't fault them had a great time training with them
Fantastic experience: Recently did a CBT course with Bryans and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. All contact with them was extremely professional and helpful. My instructor Roz was very encouraging and helped me to enjoy and learn at the same time. Quality equipment was available to borrow and the bikes are well maintained. Would recommend this company without hesitation as I'm now signed up for the DAS course.
Fantastic experience: I waited till I passed to write this review, but from day 1 I knew I had made the right choice for lessons. I did my CBT with a different company and wasn't feeling confident enough to ride on the road safely. I phoned Trish who talked me through my options and booked on for a single lesson with John. I then booked individual lessons around my work schedule and passed first time both Mod 1 and Mod 2. I can honestly say that was entirely down to the skill, passion and professionalism of the instructors! The bikes and equipment are top notch (You could see the difference with other schools when parked at the test centre). And the facilites were perfect! I was taught at my own pace, never felt unsafe or unprepared. I was made to feel at ease from my first time on the bike. Every single instructor was fantastic: Ros, John, Kev and Jim and Trish made all the planning and organisation really easy. I cannot recommend them enough. You absolutely get what you pay for.
Fantastic experience: My son took his cbt here they are fer professional here
Fantastic experience: I had a kind and very patient instructor today!
Fantastic experience: The instructor was very thorough on my cbt, and very clear. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Completed my DAS course, going from CBT to Full A license. 100% the right choice for me to do the intense course. The instructors are totally professional, but will also do their upmost to get the best out of you as a learner too - having a laugh and a joke along the way. I tend to get nervous about tests, but John really helped me to keep my cool when it mattered most! Simply couldn't recommend this training centre enough. Brilliant new bikes, brilliant people and brilliant roads to start to learn your road craft! If you are in any doubt, don't. Training here is absolutely worth it!
Positive experience: Wonderfully nice and instructive staff with a great work ethic
Fantastic experience: The instructors and staff are friendly and they prioritise safety on the road. If you want to get your CBT or learn how to ride a motorcycle, I can't recommend a better place to learn than Bryan's BMW Rider Training!
Fantastic experience: Recently completed a 6 day intensive direct access course at Bryan's having done a CBT with them last year. Everybody there was pleasant and helpful, and all the training I received was fantastic, they were patient and attentive, most of my training was one to one which was fantastically helpful focussing on any specific weak points in my riding. When the time came to do both of the test modules I was confident that the training provided had got me up to and past the required standards. Passed both modules and couldn't be happier. Big thanks to Ros (CBT) and John and Jim (Direct access training) for their patience and hard work. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: So happy with Ros, Kevin and John who gave my nervous wife a transformative experience. From somebody who lacked any confidence you took her to building skill and ability and confidence enough to pass her Mod 1 and mod 2 first time. Can't thank you all enough for your brilliant attitude and gift of proper teaching which made it all possible. Can't recommend enough. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Did an intensive course with Bryan’s through the BMW Rookie to Rider scheme and was very impressed all the way through. Our instructor John was extremely professional and knowledgeable, getting us through the course while still having a sense of humour and a laugh. The other staff all seem extremely friendly too. The bikes are all very nice, new bikes. Very comfortable to ride and beginner friendly. Will definitely be looking in to this school when I come to upgrade my licence, can’t recommend them enough.
Fantastic experience: I have just competed an intensive course with Bryan's, and they got me through both tests to get my full license. Form when I arrived on my first day I felt like I was part of a family. John, my trainer, had the patience and teaching skills to get me to the required standard whilst still making me feel relaxed and comfortable. I genuinely can't recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic experience: I’ve brought boys here over the years for cbt tests. They are very articulate lads who want the best for these kids. Keeping them safe on the roads by ensuring constant high standards
Fantastic experience: Excellent CBT experience & moved on to the 3 hour lessons as I could find time with work for an "intensive course". Sunday lessons are ideal for those with busy jobs. I was in a fortunate position to be able to borrow a bike for my MOD 1 & 2 tests but I'm still very glad I chose Bryans for some lessons. Great atmosphere & good teachers. I was fortunate to have a few lessons with the main man himself Kev & I found it only fitting I saw him on my way back from Burton after passing my MOD2. He was taking someone else for their test I assume. A big thanks to everyone at Bryan's, I'm now a biker
Fantastic experience: 10/10 ⭐️ Just completed the DAC with John and can not praise these guys enough! I have completed many driving courses in the past including advanced driving and I am so impressed with the standard they teach. Really chilled and friendly environment, all gear provided, great bikes! ️
Fantastic experience: I've recently passed my A2 Licence with them and I've got nothing but positive things to say. Roz my instructor was amazing. She was very knowledgable and a brilliant instructor. I went into both tests with complete confidence. The facilities and equipment was top-notch too. New bikes and gear, even a full size mod 1 practice area. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and will definitely be coming back for my full A licence, see you in 2 years.
Fantastic experience: I did my cbt today it's my 3rd one I have done but first using bryans made me feel very welcome absolutely cracking people very friendly and helpful really enjoyed it today deffo highly recommended and I will be going there for all my future training
Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT with Roz a while back and she was brilliant, couldn’t recommend her and the driving centre enough. Look forward to returning to complete my full license.
Fantastic experience: Just done a 7 day intensive course including CBT . Passed both Mod 1 and Mod 2 on the same day , due to the instructors . Cannot thank John enough very patient and knowledgeable with many tips. Thanks to Roz for her help and patients also . The whole team are excellent and very helpful. The equipment is very good and the bikes are very well maintained. If you want to learn to ride this is the place, well worth the money. Thanks to Kevin and all the team for everything .
Fantastic experience: Big thanks to all the team especially a fantastic instructor Roz who coached me through all My training and tests . From CBT to Mod 2 . They have all the equipment and bikes in there purposefully built training establishments . Even a full size Mod 1 training zone on site . Wonderful people. Thank you for all your support and encouragement. Alan .
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best rider training team to use. I would recommend them every day. The team that support you on the training are superb I'm only small but they absolutely help me to nail my mod 1 and MOD 2 on a 750 . I originally went with a company in Burton-upon-Trent and wasted my money. Thank you to all Kevs team.
Fantastic experience: My sincere thanks go to all the team at Bryan’s. 5 stars for all aspects of the training, equipment, facilities etc etc. The whole 7 day experience couldn’t have been better for me, from the warm welcome from everyone the minute I walked in to the training school, to completing mod 1 and mod 2 on the last day. The team made me feel completely relaxed and reassured throughout the course. After some not so great experiences at a couple of other training schools, I can honestly say the guys and girls at Bryan’s are simply great at what they do.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my CBT and now moving to to direct access. I had really low confidence following a bad experience at another riding school and these guys have put me back on track. I cant recomend them enough. 5 stars just aren't enough.
Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly , from the very first moment felt great , everyone in there are genuinely nice people, a big thanks to my instructor Romild , highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: 7 day Direct Access Course 04.11.22 From the first contact with Trish to my CBT with Roz and the next few days leading up to my Mod1 & Mod2 with John I cannot fault anything. Brilliant information and training at all times with superb bikes which were all new. When all my tests were completed and passed first time I realized how thorough the training had been. As an older road riding novice with mainly off road experience this was exactly what I needed. Thanks guys.
Fantastic experience: Top Tier training, could not have been more pleased with my training Passed first time both mod 1 and mod 2 following my intensive course They were so nice and helpful with any query I had, always holding safety at the forefront teaching me to be a complete rider not just someone that can pass the test and nothing more I would always recommend Bryan’s for anyone looking to start or advance their motorcycle journey, would give it more stars if I could
Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT today had a great experience the team and instructors are all really friendly and helpful. I would also like to thank John for being very patient with me and helping me to pass.
Fantastic experience: Booked CBT for 16 year old son. Excellent service from booking to completion. Instructor was excellent with him. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place! Really patiant and polite, great place to do your C.B.T course. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I did a 7 day direct access 0-Hero course with Bryans just recently in September '22. Im thrilled to say I passed my full bike licence with zero minors on both my Mod 1 and Mod 2. I cannot thank the team more, my main instructor was John - he was incredible. Whilst Kev, Trish and Jim where equally supporting and amazing too throughout the course. The teams professionalism is first rate, and everyone makes it a fun yet safe and relaxed environment in which to learn within. The equipment (brand new BMW bikes) and clothing is first rate and really made the experience a pleasure. I had heard so many horror stories from family and friends when it came to doing their Motorbike licences elsewhere and 'on the cheap', and honestly it's just not worth it. Spend the money, don't hesitate, do it the right way. I cannot recommend Bryans Rider Training more - I will be back to do advance rider training in the future for sure
Fantastic experience: Having passed my CBT on Sunday with Chris and John I went with all intention of carrying on to do my mod 1 and mod 2 with how these guys put you at ease I'm feeling more driven to get my motorcycle license more than ever thank you guys and I will see you soon for lessons and completion of my license
Fantastic experience: I'm incredibly happy to have passed the 7 day intensive course! Trish is super helpful and organised. Jim laid the foundations for safe riding in the CBT and Roz is really astute at developing your skills and confidence to become a competent biker. The motorbikes are mint and well maintained. Each step to progress from a 125, 310 and a 750 is reinforced with defensive riding knowledge, followed by the familiarisation of the controls and manoeuvring around cones before embarking on the road. Knowing the F750GS has ABS is reassuring for the emergency stops because you can feel it kick in and, it gets up to the target speed for the Mod1 test with ease. The 750 handling is confident and I found it easier for doing the figure of eights. Every day involved plenty of road riding broken up by Mod1 test practice, finishing with a debrief and an agreed focus for the next day. As the Mod1 test approached the practice time increased to perfect the skills. I had plenty of eureka moments and the team (including John and Tara) showed genuine interest in how I was progressing and provided advice. By the end of the course and, from all the road time, the safe riding reflexes were so ingrained that the Mod2 test was surprisingly relaxed and comfortable. Can't ask for anything more than that. Highly recommend the intensive course, it's tiring but the extra days of riding and the momentum to get you through the tests are worth it.
Fantastic experience: Can’t thank Jim enough for getting this very nervous rider through her CBT. All the staff at Bryan’s are exceptionally skilled and I thank them all for the words of wisdom which got me through. Couldn’t recommend this training school high enough!
Fantastic experience: I recently attended a five day, intensive DAS course with Bryan’s BMW rider training and the instruction and preparation was first class. Having completed a CBT eight months earlier at a school local to me I elected to use a BMW school for DAS expecting excellent equipment and training. My course mate and I were trained by Ros who had a very good training style, patience and met our individual training needs. She used building blocks to raise our technique and experience. Ros was keen to stress that we were not being trained to pass the test but develop habits for a life of safe riding so that when we did the MOD2 test route, we would have the skills necessary to tackle any hazards. Throughout the course there was gradual progression and guidance followed by the tests with the DVSA. The organisational knowledge also shone through due to their experience in training and the area. In summary I would not hesitate to recommend Bryan’s BMW rider training for anyone contemplating learning to ride or looking to develop their skills further. They will start from where you are and take you to where you would like to be.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience, went from CBT through to MOD1 and MOD2 in a week. It’s called intensive training and it is intense, with lots to learn and take in but all the staff are brilliant, John who took me through the CBT and a really special mention for Roz who took me from the 310cc to 750cc and final tests. Her teaching methods are so clear, she progressively gives you more confidence, spots everything and works with you to hone your skills. I can’t recommend this team enough, I enjoyed it so much, thanks.
Fantastic experience: Just completed my CBT Enhanced with Roz. Went from zero experience to feeling much more confident. Roz was a fountain of knowledge too, and willing to share her experience. Will go back for more training in the future.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and super friendly. Night standard of teaching. Can’t wait to go for more sessions with any of the teachers.
Fantastic experience: Had a really good CBT training day on Friday. Roz was an excellent tutor for the day. You cover a lot at a brisk pace. Plenty of support and feedback to improve during the day. Thanks
Fantastic experience: I passed! Seriously can’t thank everyone enough, Roz for taking me through the CBT , Jim for settling my nerves and John for giving me countless tips / tricks and Kev for taking me out during my time training here! You will LOVE training here, everyone is such a character which makes it so much fun!!! I can’t recommend this place enough, enjoyed every day training here and learnt so much when it came to MOD 1 & 2! I can’t wait to come back and do my advanced rider training here soon, don’t even think just book it up and enjoy the ride!!
Fantastic experience: Well I just want to say a big thank you to John the instructor for getting me up to a really good standard and getting me through both of my tests (first time). Also thanks to Jim on the first day I had my CBT and made it an enjoyable day. All the instructors are brilliant and it’s definitely the best place to get your motorcycle training done whether it’s a CBT or intensive course. They make everyone feel welcome and at ease it don’t matter what level rider you are. Also we had a few laughs on the way. ( over taken by scooter moment was funny John well for you ) I hope to go back at some point for some advance rider training once I have had some experience on the road. All I can say is if you are thinking of doing any training on a motorcycle Bryan’s motorcycle training is the place to go. Thank you guys and girls it’s was an amazing week with you. See you soon stay safe
Fantastic experience: The absolute best motorcycle training centre in the midlands. Knowledgeable and professional instructors will see you through CBT, MOD1, MOD 2 and beyond.
Fantastic experience: Can't possibly say enough about how brilliant it is to train at this motorcycle riding school. All of the instructors are friendly, helpful and truly want to see you succeed. I did a 6 day intensive course with John who was patient and attentive. Everything was tailored to my skill level and the training was genuinely good fun. Will absolutely be back for advanced rider training!
Fantastic experience: Great school, very nice staff! Had 4 of my friends to do the Cbt there , all in one day! 3 of them don’t speak English very well and they allowed me to translate! Now we all ride 125s , looking to go for full licence, and they are the perfect choice!
Fantastic experience: Well, what can be said for Bryan BMW Rider Training. Absolutely fantastic! All the staff are positive and the level of encouragement and support you get is such a lovley thing to see. I will be going back for additional lessons and advanced riding skills. If your thinking of doing your motorbike licence, then look no further and give Bryan BMW Rider Training a call..
Fantastic experience: Undertook 2 day CBT training over 2 Sundays. My instructor, Roz was very patient, professional, helpful and gave me the confidence to complete the training successfully. The bike ‘Usha’ was a great machine, well looked after and I fell in love with her. In my opinion, best place for motorcycle training in Stoke on Trent.
Fantastic experience: Roz is fab she take her time with you and explains everything to you I was a bit nervous at 1st and as the class was a bit a head in there training than me she still took her time with me and I caught up to the class very fast I was told if I never been on a bike do it on a scooter but Ross give me the confidence to get on the bike and learn the gears and I am so glad I did it on the bike now. Can't wait to finish my CBT off next Thursday. If you get Ross on your CBT you are in good hands. Just passed my CBT now one week later as I did it in 2 parts and I can't thank Roz enough definitely recommend her and the company and to be honest the price they charge is so worth it and I would off happily paid a bit more for it 100% recommend them
Fantastic experience: Edited review to include my full license training - Aug & Sept 2023. I knew after having such a good experience with Bryan's when I did my CBT that I would come back to do my full lincense. If you are shopping around for a DAS course or Mod1&2 training, look no further! They make the process of gaining your license very enjoyable and methodical. I did a 6 day intensive DAS course with John as my main instructor, he is a very patient, friendly, and meticulous teacher, making me feel very at ease. I very much appreciated the attention to detail during the training to encourage me to be a very good, safe rider, not just good enough to past the tests. For me it took a while to become consistent particlarly with the Mod 1 manouvres, John was great at reinforcing the teaching points in a patient way knowing that with practice and concetration I'd get it - which sure enough I did! Similarly with on road riding, we stopped whilst out on a ride for feedback and discussion. I also worked with Jim who is another fantastic teacher, he helps you to relax and enjoy the experience of learning to ride. I passed my Mod 1 second time and my Mod 2 first time! The whole team at Bryan's are awesme; Trish, Kev, John, Jim and Ros thank you for all of your help on this journey I appreciate all of your guidance, teaching and assistance so much! - - - Previous review: I had an awesome experience completing my CBT Bryan’s BMW Training. I couldn’t have asked for more friendly, patient or knowledgable people to do it with. This was my first time riding a motorbike, long time car driver and rode a bicycle. So the 2 day course I thought would be ideal for me and it was perfect. Unfortunately I’ve forgotten the lady’s name who I spent most of my time with but she was awesome. We took everything at my pace and made sure I was happy and confident with each part before moving onto the next part. Coming back for a second day having mentally digested everything overnight it all clicked and all the practice meant I felt great on the road. Thank you to everyone at Bryan’s for a great CBT experience and see you soon for my big bike training and test! Thanks, Tom
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Bryan’s enough! Fantastic people, so friendly and professional. Put me at ease and nothing was an issue. My instructor John was fabulous. Don’t hesitate to book your training with them, you won’t be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: I enrolled on a Rookie to Ride scheme through BMW Motorad Wolverhampton with the team at Bryans in Stoke upon Trent providing the training At 58 I had never ridden a motorcycle From the initial call to Trish at Bryans who administrates things I was totally confident that I was in good hands As a complete Rookie the team really looked after me Special credit to John & Jim (main trainers to me). I was a totally raw material & shall I say tested their skills & patience. They were both unfaltering My journey with Bryans began in October & I successfully passed my mod 2 in December. I had in total only 10 days training which is testament to the quality of the training delivered My training was top notch on top notch bikes My F 750 GS was delivered on 18th March I have purposefully left some months between gaining my full licence & reviewing as I have now had some independent riding to reflect upon the training delivered They are not just in business they are enthusists through & through. My sincere thanks to all at Bryans Trish Ros John Jim Kev
Fantastic experience: From never having ridden a motorcycle after 30 years of driving the team at Bryans are second to none in providing the right skills to pass the direct access. Roz, John and Kev are knowledgeable, experienced and share their skills at every step of the way. Passing first time in 7 days is testament to the training delivered. So if you have tried the rest now try the best. You will not be disappointed. Calm, professional and patient all the way through.
Fantastic experience: An awesome place to learn how to ride a bike. Roz made it so simple and was very patient with my attempts as a first time rider. I've learnt a lot today and thank to all the instructions there was no accident and, it was a very pleasant day. Kev gave me good guidance on how to proceed further as I'd like to carry a pillion, and will be giving an attempt to the full A license. Thank you very much to all team, everyone is having fun and learning how to ride, what an enjoyable day I had.
Fantastic experience: I Would like to say a big thank you to John the Second best motorbike rider in the world after me. Who Professionally guided me through five days learning. I’m happy to say I passed my test first time. I will add apart from my cbt I haven’t rode a motorbike before so thank you team for getting me to test Standard in the shortest of time. You get what you pay for Quality!!
