Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant. I passed my full A license a few weeks ago with them. I had never sat on a motorcycle until my CBT on a Sunday, and passed my full license Monday of the following week. All the instructors were formidable, each ride they filled me with confidence, teaching by showing and explaining, encouragements and cheering support. The organisation of the school itself is top notch, sending text messages offering to change/pile training sessions or tests based on availability, which I Very much appreciated and which led to my getting a full license within 8 days. I couldn't possibly recommend the school and each instructors more full heartedly
Fantastic experience: Thanks to all the staff at Lightning for all their help, guidance and patience in getting me a complete novice with zero confidence to a full license. Carl Brooks is an absolute legend for helping me through mod 1 and 2. and helping me get over my nerves. David for the CBT, Keith , Jerry, Adrian and Simon for all your help and input along the way. Lightning 10/10 with great friendly, supportive staff .
Fantastic experience: I’ve been with these guys all the way from thinking about getting on a bike to having passed my Mod 2 test and they’ve always been the best. As a woman going into a super male-dominated world, and having heard a lot of negative stories about other schools around the country, I was apprehensive about how it would go but these guys were all just the kindest, coolest, most patient men the whole way through. Even when I failed my third attempt at the Mod 1 test, Ricky had a hug and kind words for me. The admin staff were top notch as well, always able to find lessons or tests that fit my schedule or needs. I would recommend Lightning to anyone in the south/west midlands looking to do any bike training!
Fantastic experience: One of the best place to get your CBT...Highly recommended...My instructor was Ricky Legend.Was such a nice guy❤️
Fantastic experience: From start to finish, Lightning have been more than accommodating. Moreso than what I expected! I signed up for the Experienced Course with CBT & Theory. I was given clear and precise instructions at every step of my journey - paperwork, location, essentials, etc. I’d like to recognise 3 members that got me through my journey at the Oxford branch. Without a doubt… Absolutely fantastic people, amazing instructors, and patient personalities. John Collinson. Jerry Sanderson. Carl Brooks. Thanks to these gentlemen, I now hold my full A license. I would recommend Lightning Motorcycle Training to anyone looking for their motorcycle license. Affordable and brilliant!
