Compass Bike Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Can't possibly recommend these guys enough, both on the phone through booking and on the tarmac during the test, Steve especially made the entire experience enjoyable and educational and can't wait to do my full test in the near future !!!!
Fantastic experience: Been meaning to leave this review for a while now because these guys are absolutely amazing! I had my CBT done here and it was my first time riding and being on the road, I was only 17 at the time and unfortunately for me I did come off. But mike, the instructor, was so kind about it helped me back to the training area and even checked in on me on the following days. They helped build my confidence so much even after my fall they kept pushing me to keep going and kept supporting me until I managed to complete my CBT the second time round! I’m so thankful for everything they did for me and I’m proud to say that my motorcycle journey started here! Furthermore thanks to compass I’ve fallen in love with motorcycles! Already recommended my friends! Thanks again Mike!
Fantastic experience: Honestly a really smooth course the whole way through. Mike my instructor was very professional yet just as much friendly, which made it as easy as it could be, massive thanks to Mike and the company
Fantastic experience: I'd recommend these guys 100%! From the booking to the ride out on the road Compass remained professional yet friendly. They're happy to answer all types of questions and are informative with their answers too. But the highlight for me was going out on the road, felt like riding with a mate! Thank you to Compass for having me for a day, I had great fun and felt very safe. I'll be seeing you again when I'm onto a bigger bike!
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to Steve who lead my CBT. this man made me feel so comfortable just by his energy alone. Fun and sweet yet serious when he needs to be. As a result of feeling safe and comfortable around him, I rode better. Every u turn, he's there waving with a big smile on his face. He was so empathetic to my needs with psychological and physical disabilities and treated me with dignity and respect. This man made it his mission to make this a fun and engaging experience, encouraging us every step of the way and making everything so easy to follow. I've had mixed experiences in previous CBTs and tend to feel stressed and tense leading up to and during them. Within 20 minutes, I was fully relaxed 11/10 would absolutely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional, good CBT course and now feel comfortable on the road and riding in general
Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT training today, and despite the pouring rain I had a brilliant time with Steve as my instructor.
Fantastic experience: I would 100% recommend Compass Bike Training, I've now completed my CBT and my direct access course through them and have had a really good experience. They're all very friendly and helpful as well as making it very easy to understand.
Fantastic experience: Had a very positive experience with Steve. Very thorough with his teaching and made the whole experience a pleasure. Looking forward to the next steps highly recommended A*****
Fantastic experience: I completed my DAS with Mike over the last week, coming from a CBT and car. Overall I'm very happy with the whole process and the help from Debbie with getting everything arranged (i was even offered an earlier slot due to a cancellation from someone else but i was busy during that week so stuck to the planned date). The training both in the car park and on the roads was great, and managed to pass both Mod 1 and Mod 2 without any minors. Thanks very much Mike and Debbie :)
Fantastic experience: Great instructors, passed my Cbt first time, highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: 100% would recommend, Passed CBT first time without even riding a motorbike before, Great instructors, Very clear instructions which helps me improve my confidence while riding and my understanding of the road.
Fantastic experience: Great place for a cbt, nice instructors thank you for today
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience very clear instruction and understanding instructors. Would recommend
Fantastic experience: Just done my CBT, great instructors, very well at teaching really improved my knowledge of the road and improved my confidence whilst riding. Would 100% recommend
Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed redoing my cbt at compass bike training. My instructor Steve was very knowledgeable and taught me things that I would never have known or learnt and is super friendly. 100% recomend for anyone wanting to ride a bike.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant all-round experience. Debbie was able to get me booked onto a lesson and CBT extremely quickly, staying in contact the whole time. Both Mike and Steve were absolutely fantastic instructors making my first experience on a bike relaxed and fun. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Mike and Debbie are brilliant, Debbie sorts everything behind the scenes and gives you all the information you need. Mike is brilliant and has a wealth of knowledge and made the experience even better by just being a great bloke
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT today with compass Absolutely 5 star service Very thorough and patient instruction by Mike Taught me many things I thought I knew but was completely wrong and I’m better off for it, The focus on safety and awareness was paramount Couldn’t recommend them enough Very professional and friendly Easy to book with If I decide to do my big boy bike test then I won’t hesitate to book in
Fantastic experience: I completed a CBT retake (initial one was over 8 years ago so I was rusty and pretty much beginner level) this week with Compass. The initial booking process was seamless, email enquiry and the lovely Debbie phoned me back to get me booked in. She gave me a lot of clear information, confirmation texts with additional information and the offer to call back with any queries. The training day itself was extremely good. I completed my CBT on a geared 125 with 16 years road experience (car). Also on the course was a 16 year old (50cc moped) and another 2 young guns on auto 125cc mopeds to solidify my feelings of feeling very old. Therefore all of us had wide-varying levels of road experience. Mike the trainer was simply exceptional in adapting his teaching style to match our individualities, levels of both road and bike knowledge, it was impressive to see. The weather was simply horrendous for the first half of the day, and Mike did his best to adapt the criteria in order to stay inside for as long as possible. We did have to eventually go outside to ride the bikes, very character building! During both the coned area driving, Mike again was impressive at simultaneously conducting and monitoring the group as a whole, whilst tailoring training and advice to each individual rider, he has eyes in the back of his head I swear!! His training approach is firm but fair, the ‘firm’ part only refers to the way he takes pride and works hard to ensure the fundamental basics are being deployed by the rider from square 1. You can tell this is really important to Compass. During the road ride, again, he was able to monitor, guide and coach both myself and the 16 year old lad on the 50cc at the same time using the headset and his observations. Good riding from the learner was definitely recognised too and therefore you received the affirmations necessary to generate the confidence required when riding a bike on the road. In summary my training experience was nothing but positive form initial enquiry to being handed my certificate. If you are looking for a friendly company that will invest in you as much as you’re investing into the course itself, then it is money well spent. There’s no need for any worries on the qualities of their training, nor your experience level or age; they will cater for you and make sure you leave with the confidence and skills you need. I am already looking to book my full bike test once I’ve gained road experience on a 125. Thanks again Mike and Debbie!
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT with Mike he was really helpful and I felt very confident with the training. I then went on to do my DAS course with Steve who was a great help throughout the week. Really pushed us to ensure we were not only test ready but very safe on the roads. I would recommend these guys to anyone thinking about doing the courses without a doubt. Thank you very much guys, very enjoyable week!
Fantastic experience: Took my first ever cbt test with compass bike training and it was brilliant both staff members explained and demonstrated everything fantastic not only teaching me things that I didn’t know but also making sure I didn’t make the same mistakes overall great service and got me in a couple of days after I called in definitely recommend and will definitely be going back
Fantastic experience: Just did a refresh day and my CBT, Debbie was so helpful with bookings and availability, Mike was a absolute fantastic instructor and made me feel very comfortable while feeding me the knowledge I needed. Steve took me out for the CBT Road test and was very comforting while also feeding extra information and pointers for riding by myself, will be booking my Das course soon and would not want to go anywhere else! Absolutly great team and could not recomend enough!
Fantastic experience: What can I say about compass bike training? They are brilliant and got me through my mod 1 and mod 2 as quick as they could. Couldn't be more happy with the training. Mike is a great trainer and Debbie is a star for sorting it all out, great communication and always keeps you upto date with everything. Many thanks to you both and the team.
Fantastic experience: Had my cpt training today not road a bike in 20 years had Mike as my trainer did not no what to expect Mike was very personal and made me feel so relaxed from start to finish should anyone anticipate doing a cpt training course with Compass Bike Training fantastic trainers Thanks again Mike.
Fantastic experience: Massive thank you to compass bike training for getting me through my DAS, both Debbie and Mike are Fantastic, any questions you have about any of the courses Debbie is more than happy to answer them, and Mike is a fantastic trainer who has really helped me get through the course
Fantastic experience: Mike is a fantastic trainer with a firm and fair approach which built my confidence and gave me the skills required to pass Mod 1 with no minors to then go on and pass my Mod 2 just 3 days later. Special thanks to Debbie for organising the schedule and keeping me informed at every step along the way. Would 100% recommend them both.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant teacher Mike. Experienced, Very patient and understanding.
Fantastic experience: Had a great day and wonderful experience thankyou so much. Rode home straight after 11 miles. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: A massive thank you to Compass Bike Training. With excellent communications from Debbie, keeping me well informed from start to finish. Mike is a very informative, experienced instructor, with a firm but fair approach. He gave me all the training & confidence I needed to pass my full bike test, 1st time. The bikes used are clean and very well maintained.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience. Mike was great, definitely firm in his delivery but gets the message across perfectly and helped me pass first time. Clearly has a lot of knowledge of riding and the test itself. Really couldn't have asked for more. As for Debbie I can't speak highly enough. She got me booked in for the a2 course on very short notice and sent plenty of emails with all the information and requirements I needed for the course.
Fantastic experience: Debbie & Mike were brilliant. Debbie was in contact with me every step of the way & was so kind to make sure my grandson was looked after. Mike the instructor was just amazing with my grandson. Mike was patient, clear in his instructions & my grandson knew what was expected of himself to gain confidence with Mike by his side .I would highly recommend compass bike training to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Very good helpful training past first time. Great bikes great communication from first call all the way to test
Fantastic experience: Debbie and Mike are both very lovely people. I have done my CBT and DAS course and Mike is very patient with you. Would highly recommend these guys for any motorcycle training
Fantastic experience: Mike and Steve are professionals and knows what they do and talk about , they give more advice than any other place to make sure your safe on the roads
Fantastic experience: I'm based in North Cornwall so St Austell is a bit of a journey, but Compass Bike Training had the best reviews in my search area. I can confirm Compass definitely lives up to the positive reviews others have left. I had lots of questions about booking and Debbie was very helpful and patient, and I liked how she sent reminders in advance as well as prompts about what to wear and bring on the day. I booked a 2hr session with Mike a fortnight before the CBT and that was really useful too, getting me more familiarised with balancing and boosting my confidence before the CBT. Both Debbie and Mike are lovely. I saw Mike again for the CBT, as well as Steve, another instructor who was also great. The CBT was really fun, I felt in safe hands with both of them. For the CBT there's an option of geared bikes or automatic scooters. It was nice meeting the others taking the course too. I hope to do more with Compass in the future.
Fantastic experience: definitely recommend using compass bike training for your CBT etc, cannot express how happy i am as mike and steve are so understanding with nerves and help along your bike journey. thank you!
Fantastic experience: I went with Compass Bike Training initially for my CBT. Mike was an excellent instructor and I really enjoyed the day. When I decided I was ready for something bigger, I booked to do my DAS course with them. From the very start it was an excellent experience. Debbie made sure that I had provided all of the documents and information that was needed and handled the admin side flawlessly. Again Mike was excellent, providing the right amount of feedback and information but still allowing room to just enjoy the experience. The course seemed to fly by and was paced perfectly. I never felt out of my depth but also never felt like we were just filling time. When it came to the test day, I was due to go second out of the two of us that had been on the course that week. Mike and I just had a general chat about bikes while I was waiting for my test and I felt really calm and ready for the test by the time it was my turn. I passed my test first time and you can't really ask for anymore than that. Thanks Compass Bike Training, would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get into bikes.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Compass bike training enough!! I ended up with them while trying to do my A2, they very kindly took me on to do my MOD 2 after I had to move away from another training school after a very bad experience. Both Mike and Debbie were extremely friendly and easy to deal with which put me at ease straight away. They fit me in pretty quickly and were decently priced. Mike straight away made me feel cool and comfortable, made sure I got used to the bike I was riding and was happy with it before we did anything else instead of just chucking me on a bike and telling me to ride it. He made me feel welcomed and not just like I was there because I was paying him. He made sure I understood everything he was teaching me, he didn’t talk at me he talked with me. He greatly boosted my confidence (even when I had a bit of wobble and got frustrated when I had a bad day) and massively improved my riding and driving with the techniques he taught me, and just had a great deal of patience and knowledge. I passed my MOD 2 on my first try with him, and wish I had just gone with him in the first place. The bike was lovely and clean and nicely maintained unlike the previous school I was with. I’ve already started to recommend them to others looking to do bike training with and will 100% carry on doing so and will return when I do my full license. Thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: My 16 year old son was eager to get out on the road! Booking was very fast, was sent friendly reminders, and messages containing all relevant information. A few days before also sent a reminder. Caiden really enjoyed it and come home so knowledgeable about safety on the roads ect. Great company many thanks
Fantastic experience: Amazing riding school. My brother and I did our DAS course with compass bike training. Mike is a great teacher, calm, concise, incredibly knowledgeable, he has a great way of communicating instructions while making you feel relaxed and confident. The way he has the week course structured is perfect for learning everything you need. Debbie was fantastic on the admin side of things, she sorted everything, we just had to turn up and ride. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get their full bike license. Great guys, great riding school. Grant and John.
Fantastic experience: Very responsive and flexible with dates which was much appreciated! Mike is very knowledgeable, firm but fair, and a great teacher! Helped me pass my tests - thank you!
Fantastic experience: Debbie and Mike have both been absolutely fantastic, Debbie is extremely helpful with your questions and queries and Mike is a brilliant instructor and makes it seem so easy, couldn’t thank them both enough.
Fantastic experience: Very good day with Mike at Compass bike training, refreshing my skills after many years not riding. Improved my confidence massively. Update.... I have just passed my DAS 1st time after 5 days training course with their instructor, Steve. Quite intensive but clearly justified as I got a pass with 1 minor. Thanks for the helps guys.
Fantastic experience: Massive thank you Debbie and Mike, I did my full bike license with them and I can honestly say they are absolutely outstanding, Debbie was amazing at communicating back and forth and booking my test for me and Mike who trained myself,Thanks Mike and Debbie
Fantastic experience: Really great tutor mike is and explains everything very well also keeps you very calm on the bikes. Will definitely be going back for full bike test.
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Mike and Steve. Both really good and explained everything really well. Learned a lot and felt more than comfortable and confident afterwards, cheers.
Fantastic experience: Massive thank you Debbie and Mike, I did my full bike license with them and I can honestly say they are absolutely outstanding, Debbie was amazing at communicating back and forth and booking my test for me and Mike who trained myself and joe who was the other guy I did it with and he was amazing, full of knowledge and made the whole experience a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend if you’re thinking about doing your cat or even doing your full bike license. Thank you Mike and Debbie. Matt
Fantastic experience: I have on my 'bucket list' to ride on route 66! A move to the US spurred me on...departure date April 24! From zero bike experience, in February to obtaining a Cat A pass last week. This was was all down to Mike's patience, excellent instruction, confidence coaching and unwavering support in me. Debbie is very much front of house and worked wonders in my tight time schedule! A very personal journey delivered by a personable team. Thank you !! X
Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT here and did a pre CBT i always felt confident and assured by mike whos an amazing instructor i will definitely be going to complete further licences
Fantastic experience: If you need to do your cbt, this is the place to do it. Fantastic from start to finish!top marks!
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience from start to finish. Went in after passing my CBT with limited time on a bike, but today I got my full bike license. All down to Mike and his team. I would not use any other company, these guys are exceptional. Thank you again.
Fantastic experience: A massive thank you to Mike and Debbie. From start to finish I had the best experience, from booking with them and doing CBT and my DAS . Mike has an amazing way of teaching throughout, firm but fair at times but a really top guy. I came away with so much confidence. If you want to get out there on two wheels this is where you want to go, without a doubt Thank you both. Gareth
Fantastic experience: Fantastic riding school. Mike is a brilliant tutor, he's honest, helpful and welcoming. Debbie couldn't have been more helpful with all information, bookings and advice. She's very kind. The service is small and personal. Not large groups with no chance to ask questions. I felt I was listened to, and given excellent coaching. Very impressed.
Fantastic experience: If you want to learn to ride a bike there is no other place to go than compass. From initial enquiries via email Debbie was fantastic and then throughout the training Mike was brill. Simply put, Mike is an excellent instructor who knows what to do to get you up to standard and pass the test. Tbh I was incredibly nervous but Mike knows when to give encouragement and when to give a rollocking. (Which he will) I would 1 million % recommend compass and regret not doing my cbt with them as I think if I had I would have found the das course easier. However, pleased to say passed first time. Thanks again Mike and Debbie, Whenever i go past a speed sign ill always think of you....mirror mirror boom boom
Fantastic experience: Amazing motorcycle trainer, he push for you to succeed. Would recommend to anyone trying for any level of bike test.
Fantastic experience: A very enjoyable days training with Mike for my CBT, brilliant instructor very clear instructions and excellent explanations, highly recommend compass bike training!
Fantastic experience: Thank you to compass bike training today for helping me to pass my cbt, very good guidance and patience from the chap running the training and I'd certainly recommend compass for people looking to take their first steps into motorcycling! Fantastic ⭐️
Fantastic experience: Great day passing my cbt. Was very nervouse riding a 125cc with gears with hardly any bike experience. Mike was fantastic and patient but sterne when needed. I lost my head a couple times overthinking it but mike told me what i needed to hear and took the time to let me keep trying till i could get it. Great experience and i promise mike i will turn my indicators off quicker haha
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend, gave great advice and training the whole way through
Fantastic experience: Very professional had a good time and learned alot while I was there would definitely recomend moterbike where all in great condition and where a joy to ride
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic training 1st class Mike and Ian did an amazing job, had a great laugh and made to feel really comfortable. Cracking day thank you again
Fantastic experience: Just completed my A2 license with Compass, Mike is friendly and gets you where you need to be and booking in was made simple by Debbie. Thanks again
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. I did my CBT and full A license with Compass Bike Training. Mike have great knowledge and know what he is doing.
Fantastic experience: You are amazing guys. Just had my A category in 5 days. Unbelievable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thank you very much Mike you are awesome instructor.
Fantastic experience: Really good and nice People
Fantastic experience: Thanks to both Mike and Deb at Compass Bike Training. I started off a bit nervous and tentative but by the end of the session I was on the road feeling fairly comfortable and happy to be out there. Really gratefully. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Passed my DAS first time with Compass Bike Training today. Mike and Debbie are salt of the earth type of people. Honest, straightforward and friendly. Mike is a superb instructor, he doesn’t beat around the bush and tells you what you need to hear. Debbie had bought us some cold drinks during training on a really hot day which I couldn’t have been more grateful for. Really good people that will not let you down!!! if you want to get on a bike, go to Compass Bike Training!
Fantastic experience: I finally past my full bike licence today. Thank you to Mike for getting me there. He is a great instructor and gives great advice , can be little firm some times but he just wants you to be the best you can be. I'll forever hear him in my ear ... BOOM BOOM.
Fantastic experience: Done my CBT with Sam! Had a great experience, he is very knowledgeable and a great instructor. Done a CBT previously with another well known bike training centre in Cornwall and it wasn’t half as informative! I came away from compass with a greater understanding of riding on the road and with definitely more respect and confidence.. 5 star from me
Fantastic experience: Best day ever! Got my CBT first time on a geared bike and I hadn’t ever ridden before!! Sam is THE BEST! Calm, full of info, top tips and keeps his sense of humour throughout - the perfect trainer! Debbie is truly wonderful, she made sure I knew as much as possible coming into the day, answered all my questions (which really helped me going into the training) and even popped down to say hi! Mike is absolutely lovely and bestowed some lifelong knowledge and something that every new rider should remember when they’re training - don’t forget to smile, enjoy it and have fun! It really helps!
Fantastic experience: I can not thank Mike enough! Brilliant instructor, helped me achieve my full bike license! He was so patient and informative, couldn't have asked for anything more! highly recommend!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Just done a day with Sam. Patience of a saint. Excellent tuition throughout.
Fantastic experience: Big thank you to Sam for teaching me how to ride and pass my CBT without any experiance at all.
Fantastic experience: Had my first ever CBT with Sam today. Couldn't of asked for a better trainer, he knows his stuff. Highly recommend compass bike training, I'll be doing a das course with them in the very near future.
Fantastic experience: Did my (2nd) CBT with Sam today. He was an excellent trainer. Gave detailed and specific advice for those of us that needed a refresher and wanted to progress quickly, whilst also giving comforting and encouraging support to the inexperienced riders in the group that needed an extra boost in confidence.
Fantastic experience: This training school is absolutely amazing they make you feel welcome and at ease and help asking every step of your training can't fault them. Sam the instructor i had was absolutely amazing in teaching and prepping for my training the best in my opinion.
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT with Sam today, excellent instructor! Took me from never riding a geared bike to being safe and confident on the road riding one. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I'm very pleased with my training. Having never ridden a motorbike in my life, or having a driving licence, I was very dubious it would go well. Sam was very kind, patient and able to communicate so specifically to accommodate my learning a new skill and calming my nerves in a way that was fun and not too stressful. You couldn't ask for better. Very happy and a pass also. Thankyou Sam
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my full bike licence with compass, my experience with Mike was brilliant such a good instructor and a top guy, the process of booking in was faultless with Debbie on the admin. Overall would highly recommend Thanks Guys
Fantastic experience: Brilliant course with Mike. Amazing instructor and helped get me through both my tests first try. Brilliant training. Recommend highly.
Fantastic experience: Ive met and worked with many good instructors in my time an Sam is up there. Great knowledge, patience and a vast experience. Ive not had much motorcycle experience and gained my CBT through Sam. Now I feel I can go away knowing Im a whole lot safer and had excellent training. Massive thanks.
Fantastic experience: Completed my Cbt today, instructor Sam was amazing. Very calm and describes every movement to the point. Also had chance to speak to Mike who will take the DAs course and made me feel very relaxed . Can’t wait to do my test. Thank you CBT
Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend compass bike training enough. Completed both my CBT with Sam and also Full License with Mike and both really fantastic instructors! They really make sure you're ready for your test and ensure you have the self confidence to do what you know you're capable of! So happy i chose to train with these guys and a massive thanks to Debbie for doing all the hard work and arranging everything too.
Fantastic experience: My instructor, Sam, was amazing at his job. Made us all feel completely comfortable and relaxed from minute one. His knowledge, experience and attention to detail is second to none! Thank you for teaching me!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Compass Bike Training, huge thank you to Sam for his patience and in depth training, we completed our CBT with him with no previous bike training whatsoever, in one day he gave me the confidence to safely go out on the road (and I’m a very anxious person!). I appreciate the time taken to ensure we were all comfortable with each section during the day before moving on to the next, nothing was rushed and he had a great way of explaining the techniques, regularly checking we understood and for any questions. Highly recommend both Sam and Compass Bike Training and wouldn’t go anywhere else in the future! Thank you
Fantastic experience: A really enjoyable day doing the CBT. Sam was very knowledgeable, patient and positive with us.
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Sam and just passed my mod 1&2 with Mike i was extremely impressed with the training and support i received, Debbie & Mike honestly made the whole process from booking to finishing my mod 2 smooth and confidence inspiring won't find a better team thank you for all your support
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic day completing CBT with Sam! Highly recommend the compass bike training team to anyone! Gained lots of knowledge and will definitely be coming back to complete more training.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic instructor very patient and easy going. Taught me more than I thought I could learn in one day. 100% recommended for anyone looking to learn
Fantastic experience: Just passed my full test and couldn’t have asked for a better teacher then Mike. Got me exactly where I needed to be with the short time he has. In his words he can be ‘a bit of a dick’ but he’s doing it in your best interest and doesn’t mean a word of it. Wish I could have done my CBT with him too. So if you want a personal and great experience then use Compass bike training. I will never regret it. Thanks Mike and his team. Happy and safe riding
Fantastic experience: Completed my cbt with compass today after not riding a bike for 10 years. Sam made the whole day a real joy as well as being a great instructor. His teaching methods are brilliant and fill you with confidence as soon as you first sit on the bike! I would highly recommend Compass bike training to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my full bike test with compass bike training and couldn’t recommend them more. Mike is a great instructor, he gives you great confidence and awareness on all the necessary factors in order to pass and be a safe rider. 5 star service
Fantastic experience: Mike got my through my DAS, he taught me some great tips and techniques. Although he can be a little harsh in your ear sometimes, which doesn't help with nerves, he also does try and boost your confidence, and will give praise where praise is due. Thank you Mike and Debbie, I would never have passed without you.
Fantastic experience: Mike is a great trainer push you hard to get that certificate,thank you very much mate .
Fantastic experience: I found Compass while searching for somewhere to do my DAS training, I had already got my CBT with my more 'local' bike shop but I felt they slightly lacked something. From the get go mike was there to train me to the standard the examiner expects me to ride at on test day. A friendly no nonsense guy that will give you the tools to ride safely at all times. He even got the coffee's in. I have recommended Mike to mates that have also said the same things, a quality guy that only wants you to pass and get on 2 wheels. Thanks Mike for getting me through it, I couldn't of done it without you. BOOM... BOOM....
Fantastic experience: Absolutely spot on through out. I decided to buy a bike, book hotels and ferries for a European bike ride trip and forgot one thing, the licence… the guys at compass managed to squeeze me in last minute covering cbt with sam, and mod 1 and 2 with Mike. With limited bike experience the guys had me pass first time in less than 3 weeks start to finish. Sam is a very experienced rider, and handles new starters to biking extremely well. The same goes for mike too. The guys make the training fun as well as getting you equipped for the road and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anybody. I myself have autism, and being in an educational environment is pretty stressful and not really for me but the guys did a fantastic job how they deliver the training and for ever in my head I’ll be hearing Mike say boom boom every time I see a speed sign so also if you’re thinking of equipping your neurodiverse youngster for the road, speak to compass. I’ve done previous cbts at other training facilities in Cornwall, one being probably the most commonly known training provider down this way but the training you get from compass feels less commercialised and more tailored and personal. Thanks team compass
Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT with compass training and I would highly recommend their service. Sam was very informative and highly professional. He made sure that every manoeuvre was perfect before me moved on. the final road ride was a pleasure with Sam giving directions and making sure you corrected any mistakes until you did it without thinking. great guy. I look forward to doing my direct access with them
Fantastic experience: Successfully passed my CBT today with Compass. Sam the instructor was very informative, patient and encouraging. Felt as tho we were in very safe hands. Would thoroughly recommend Compass for CBT or any level of bike training required.
Fantastic experience: Excellent day of training with Sam at Compass Bike Training, Sam was very patient whilst also being extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of motorcycling. I would definitely recommend Compass Bike Training!
