Thank you glad you had a good day.
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT at Phoenix with Scott. He was an absolutely fantastic instructor and did a great job making us feel safe and confident throughout the training session. Will definitely be going back for full licence training in the future.
Thank you glad you enjoyed the day
Negative experience: Scammers I arrived 6 min late after travelling an hour to get there! I got stuck behind a tractor and was told I couldn’t do the test because they had started they must of not Evan out there name on the register was rude on the phone and have blocked me, will not refund me Evan tho in the email i got with the information about what Time n stuff didn’t mention once about not being able to not do the test if your late or nothing! £175 couldn’t wait to cancel me this could of been someone’s teenager who’s mums struggled to pay for this or like me someone who worked hard to get the money Peter Rutter & mark the man’s name is! Do not use this company
Fantastic experience: Completed CBT, MOD1 & MOD2 with Phoenix Colchester. Rob was absolutely superb! So calm, patient and knowledgeable. A really nice fella with a great sense of humour. Although didn’t have Scott I’ve been told by many that he is also an awesome trainer and I can vouch that he makes a lovely cup of coffee . All that’s left to do now is go out and buy and Indian scout! Slap a George best sticker on it and ride off into the sunset with AC/DC as my soundtrack. Rob will know what I mean lol! Highly recommend Phoenix Colchester. Thankyou, Jake Kelly
Thank you we are very pleased you had a great experience
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my CBT with Rob and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment the session started, Rob made me feel at ease with their calm and patient approach. Throughout the training, Rob was incredibly supportive, offering constructive feedback and encouragement. Their expertise and attention to safety were evident, ensuring I felt secure while learning essential riding skills. Rob tailored the lesson to my individual pace, never rushing me and always making sure I was comfortable before moving on to the next stage. By the end of the session, I felt well-prepared and much more confident in my riding abilities. I highly recommend Rob to anyone looking to complete their CBT. Their professionalism, knowledge, and supportive teaching style make them an outstanding instructor. Thank you for an excellent training experience!
No you glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: Some of the nicest, most experienced people on the road. A great school to learn or develop!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT with Rob and Scott. It was a fantastic experience, Both are very experienced and possibly the sweetest people on earth. Their attention to details is phenomenal, you will have so much more to learn with them even if you have decades of experience and a lot of fun while doing that. Thank you Rob and Scott
We are pleased you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say a massive thank you, I came today for a back to biking course with paul ,after 16 years of not riding ,, He was knowledgeable, kind and supportive, immediately diagnosed where I was struggling, worked on the problem areas and we finished the day on a ride out , I am now confident to go and purchase my bike and I will be back for some more advanced lessons , Scott's teas were exceptional and plentiful when needed, thank you so much to your whole team for making me so welcome, over the moon is an understatement, as a female i highly recommend this company, many thanks toni jewell
Thank you glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: Great instructors both Rob and Scott were amazing, good people. Showed me the ropes and taught me everything I needed to know before grabbing a 125cc. Very happy with the training, great atmosphere good vibes and overall an unforgettable experience. Would recommend 10/10 :)
Thank you glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: Was fantastic, so happy with the service I received. I did two days for my CBT with Rob at Phoenix Colchester ( great, very polite, and encouraging) I did two days as I didn't feel comfortable going out on the road on a bike the first day as I had never riding a bike before other than a bicycle. Will definitely be going back for my next lot of training ( that's if Rob can put up with me again )
Thank you glad you enjoyed the days
Negative experience: Held back due to another learner not being ready to go on road and very poor planning from instructors. I am certain I was not held back due to any mistakes on my part (other than small ones) as I was finishing each section of training well before others and instructors were repeatedly expressing they were very happy with how I was doing - being told I was doing incredibly well “absorbing everything like a sponge” etc, I completely understand that they are supposed to be endearing and supportive but I am without a doubt all comments made were genuine. We were told I was unable to go on the road as there were not enough qualified instructors to take just one of us on the road as they had “lent one to another training centre”. Which is absolutely ridiculous considering I paid £150 and we spent an entire day training just to be told at the end I had to pay full price again and do the entire thing all over. Up until the end I was very happy with the training and felt I was gaining lots of useful skill and control but ultimately all of that was undone by their final actions. Has put me off wanting to ride for a good while
Hi Charlie thank you for your view however this is not todo with Phoenix Colchester as we are all independent training centres please call the centre you trained with direct Regards Phoenix Colchester
Fantastic experience: Great day learning with Phoenix Colchester for my CBT certificate yesterday. Martin my instructor, was patient and comprehensive with his knowledge and handled my varied range of emotions throughout the day and I’d happily recommend Phoenix Motorcycle Colchester to anyone interested in doing their CBT. Scott’s wife’s amazing brownies should also get a mention and they definitely helped keep my energy up! Many thanks both!
You are most welcome glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: Have had 2 CBTs with this company and I couldn't ask for better. Very accommodating, very understanding and patient. They explain everything and there's no silly questions. As a shorter rider, I was heard and they did everything they could to help.
Glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing time doing my CBT with the guys at Phoenix Colchester. Lots of humour and laughs while teaching you the serious and safety aspects of riding a motorcycle. Very patient, very good with feedback on what you're doing wrong and how to fix the issues. Couldn't have asked for better trainers. Off to buy my first 125cc now and if I ever progress I will certainly be using these guys for my further training. Thank you so much!!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: The team went above and beyond to deliver an incredible, unforgettable experience and above all well structured & fun training
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I recently did my CBT here and have nothing but positive things to say about the team. Scott’s a legend and made me laugh so much which was great as I was nervous since I had never rode before. Rob is just as much of a legend who also made me feel at ease and took time to focus on things I was doing wrong throughout the day without getting frustrated. I’m so new to it all BUT I’ll be going back for some more lessons in the future. Good luck when we move on to the bigger bikes gents! (also yes I’ve got so proper riding trousers now).
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Had the best day training with Scott. I haven’t ridden a motorcycles for nearly 20 years and booked a ‘back to biking’ full day course. Scott was brilliant at explaining clearly and simply and I soon gained my confidence. Would thoroughly recommend Phoenix and Scott hence the 5* review. Thank you for a great day
Thank you we are glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: Nice training centre highly recommend if you want to pass your CBT first time choose these instute. Scott is a passionate knowledgble instructor He tech me lots of things Thanks
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Did my Mod1&2 with Phoenix and I can say they are a TopTeam Paul took care of me on Mod1&2 and it was perfect His knowledge and experience is incredible If you think to do a motorcycle license that’s the right place to go Thank you a Phoenix team
Thank you glad you enjoyed your training. Ride safe
Fantastic experience: Just want to say thank you to Rob. and the team at Phoenix Motorcycle training. You are all very welcoming, relaxed and very easy to get on with. Your care, passion and patience is amazing. I had a fantastic day and I am very much looking forward to conducting my Mod 1 and 2 with you, in the very near future (2024)
Thank you glad you enjoyed the day.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience while training for my CBT. Amazing people and very professional. I highly recommend it to all who need to train.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I’m not a big one for reviews but I really just wanted to give my CBT instructor Scott a shout out. He genuinely cares and is passionate about what he does. He makes the day a laugh and enjoyable whilst comprehensively teaching you everything you need to know to give you the first taste of the road on two wheels. He’s an absolute credit to Phoenix and I’d recommend the company to anyone thinking about taking their CBT purely down to the great experience I had with Scott. Can’t wait to be back in January for training for my Mod 1 test .
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Took my Mod 2 training and test here after having completed my Mod 1 elsewhere before moving here. Passed first time and absolutely buzzing. Major positives: All the instructors have loads of years under their belt. All easy to get on with and keen that they try share their experience with you. You get plenty of time on the bike on your training day. After I passed didn't try and push loads of course on me, just recommended I get comfortable riding first, gave lots of advice, genuinely seemed like they were there to help you, not just sell a service. Can't recommend the team here higher. I had Rob for my practice day, was really helpful throughout, picked up on little things that I was getting wrong and helped simplify them so I could sort it out. Really easy going and made the whole day a great day out on the bike. Took me around the test area to get used to some of the more tricky areas that could come up on the test and meant come the real thing I was really comfortable. On the test day I had Paul take me to Ipswich for the test and give me a bit of coaching and tips on the way. Again such a nice guy, really put me at ease before the test and meant I wasn't nervous at all and could just ride naturally. Kept it simple, but had loads of knowledge to impart. Also should say that testing in Ipswich is good, although some parts can be tricky the examiners are incredibly nice, and again made me feel at ease before even getting on the bike. Felt like I was just going for a ride. Will be coming back some time in the future for further training!
Thank you glad you enjoyed the day.
Fantastic experience: Just done my CBT with Scott at Phoenix and what a great instructor he is ! It's been about 35 years since I rode on the road and although I have 30 years of mx experience I learnt an awful lot about riding back on the road! Scot was informative and patience and explained everything brilliantly! Will be back for my DAS as soon as I can!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT done today. Scott is a well informative instructor. It was a pleasure taking training with him and amazed with his knowledge as an instructor. Fantastic experience and will definitely recommend this centre to anybody looking for any kind of motorcycle lessons and CBT.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT here a few weeks ago, and was a great experience. Friendly, welcoming and keen to help you learn at your own pace.
Thank you glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: I took my cbt today with Rob. What a fantastic guy, great laugh as well as great company and instructor. He was happy to answer any questions I had and made both myself and other learner feel safe and welcome. Theory is booked and I will definitely be going back for my mod 1 and mod 2! Thanks for today mate you were awesome!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT training with Scott, great day, really helpful and learner friendly.
Thank you glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: Today, I completed my full motorcycle license training and obtained my license with Phoenix and I must say, it was an absolute blast! From CBT to Mod 1 and Mod 2, their team of instructors truly know how to make the learning experience enjoyable. First up, Rob was my CBT instructor and he was absolutely fantastic. He has a way of making you feel at ease and confident on the bike. Plus, his teaching skills are top-notch! Then came Paul for my Module 1 training. This guy is a walking encyclopedia of motorcycle knowledge. With his vast experience and numerous qualifications, you can trust that he'll drill everything you need to know into your brain. Tough love! And let's not forget Scott, my Mod 2 instructor. At first glance, he may seem like a tough guy, but trust me, he's got big heart (and beard). His calm and humorous approach to teaching really made the whole process enjoyable. Plus, he's an absolute tank on a motorcycle! Last but certainly not least, Peter, the man behind the scenes. He's the one who makes everything happen smoothly. His swift communication and ability to secure tests and bookings in such a short space of time is amazing. A great guy! Overall, the combination of their wealth of knowledge, experience, and banter made the whole process with Phoenix worth it. If you're looking to get your motorcycle license, I highly recommend them. You'll have a great time while learning from the best! Note: no blue cones were harmed in the making of this review
Thank you for a great review we are all glad you enjoyed your experience.
Fantastic experience: Just wanna say a massive thank you to Scott and Paul for helping me pass my mod 1 and 2 last Monday. 5 star training.
Thank you. You are most welcome.
Fantastic experience: This is the 2d time Iv done my CBT with Scott and I wouldn’t Recommend you to go anywhere else! The most chilled out and relaxed person, Makes you feel so chilled out and also very patient! I couldn’t recommend these guys enough. Absolutely Amazing people
Thank you glad you had a great day
Fantastic experience: After nearly 16 years away from biking, I was eased back in by the excellent Paul. He was very patient and tailored the course around me to suit my needs perfectly, never rushing me. I'm so happy I did the course, it's given my confidence a huge boost and I'm really excited to be back on two wheels.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I can not recommend these guys enough, done my CBT with Scott and Rob yesterday. 2 absolute legends within 10 mins of being there they make you feel so chilled and comfortable for the day ahead. The day was really enjoyable and they are so patient with everyone so you can learn at you own pace. Looking forward to doing my big bike training with them. Cheers guys
Thank you. You are most welcome
Fantastic experience: 3 odd years ago I did a CBT course with Phoenix, giving me all the skills to be able to stay safe and have the confidence with a 125cc on the road. last month coming back to phoenix for another CBT with the same level of experience of my first, quickly booking in for my mod 1 test and training. I was very impressed with the patience, skill and experience that the instructors have and are able to pass on to students, passing the mod 1 first time with 0 minors, leaving me excited to get booked in for the mod 2. We rode down to Ipswich to do training for the mod 2 and going round some of the trickier areas that could possibly come up on the test, I was given the skill set to be able to ride around not just Ipswich but any new road safely and confidently, passing the mod 2 first time the enthusiasm and excitement was match to my own from all the instructors including when I passed the mod 1. A massive thank you to everyone at Phoenix, to anyone thinking of using Phoenix I would highly recommend you too
Thank you
Fantastic experience: What a great experience from the start!!! The communication and the wealth of knowledge from SCOTT is world class! Friendly, patient and with a great attitude! I felt safe on the road ( My very first time on the bike ) I'm delighted by the coaching level I've received! Couldn't recommend enough! Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Did a CBT course with Scott on my birthday with my partner, Scott was such a nice and genuine teacher and was blown away by his knowledge, can’t believe how much he taught me in a day. I would recommend to anyone interested and was a real eye opener about the road. Both me and my partner will go with Scott and PMT training in future. Thank you so much for such a lovely day and a great birthday ️
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Fantastic day, really enjoyed.Scott and Rob are professional top guy's️.16/04/2023 Thank you. Marek.
Glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: Brilliant, personable instructors with an endless wealth of knowledge. They got me through all aspects of a full license on the first go. Can’t recommend enough.
You are most welcome
Fantastic experience: Used this training facility from start to finish of my DAS.I have had all the instructors over the series of training days and tests, all are very good and more than just instructors, please consider them for all your training needs.
Thank you glad you enjoyed your experience
Fantastic experience: If you can't understand properly British accent, better not go there for CBT, they didn’t qualify me for this reason. Definitely my instructor was good. I couldn’t understand it was my limitation. Thank you Peter. May be will back again. .
Hi Thank you for your review. The CBT is a training course that you must demonstrate to your instructor that you are competent in each element of the course. Being able to understand the ENGLISH language is important due to a safety issue. Accents in the ENGLISH language change regionally. Your instructor for the day was not happy that you could fully understand what he was saying and therefore could not take you no the road for safety as he will need to control your ride from behind by the use of radio. Unfortunately you did not reach the standard for a CBT certificate on this occasion, you are invited back to do further training and this was offered to you on your training day. If you need to discuss further please call. Regards Peter
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience and great instructor for the whole time aboard the training.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience learning to ride a motorcycle with this traning company. All instructors are patient and really take the time to give you the best advice and tuition. Great place I would highly recommend.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Did a CBT day course with Scott and was blown away by the quality of teaching, went in worried I wouldn't finish the day and left fully confident in my ability to continue riding. 10/10 would recommend to anyone interested in trying it out, I went on a 125cc manual bike and was led through step by step for everything I'd need to ride around public roads legally and safely. Always felt like I was in good hands throughout the day and could ask anything I wanted without pressure. Thanks for the great day Scott.
Thank you you are most welcome
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT here last week and it was fantastic. Even in the pouring rain and cold weather I really really enjoyed it. I booked through email with Peter and had Rob for training. Peter was very helpful and efficient over email, and Rob was an excellent trainer - very enthusiastic, a great sense of humour and very knowledgeable. He also makes an awesome cup of coffee which was a saviour in the cold. Would absolutely recommend!
Most welcome
Fantastic experience: Was recommended by hythe hill motorcycles my boy loved it and he passed .... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thank you
Most welcome
Fantastic experience: Passed my Mod 2 today.Highly recommended.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT a fortnight ago at Phoenix, and I am very glad I chose them. My instructor for the day was Scott and he was amazing, was beyond patient, explained concepts brilliantly and how they actually apply on road, and was a great teacher. Could not recommend anyone harder to do their tests here, great place!
Thank you glad you enjoyed the day.
Fantastic experience: Had a great day with Paul today who I met after attending the firebike better biking course. Usual assessment rides around some nice lanes. Unusually we even went over some basic machine skills - it's been many years since somebody put two cones out and said now do a figure of eight - there's two lines, now do a u turn between them. Plenty of useful discussion/debriefs. Good day - recommended. Thank you. About me. I'm over 50 year's old, been riding 30 plus years, and I still learnt something.
Hi Robert glad you enjoyed the day.
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent day on the Advanced Instructor course with Paul. My day started out with (quite) a few errors. Paul was very patient when explaining where I went wrong and how I could improve. Which was then confirmed, as by the end the day, my riding and understanding of certain situations had definitely improved. Definitely a worthwhile (and sometimes humbling) day out riding, with plenty to take away to help make me a safer rider.
You are most welcome
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Rob, best instructor you could ask for, Very helpful and welcoming especially as I was nervous to begin with. Would 100% recommend Phoenix motorcycle training, Will be back again!
You are most welcome glad you enjoyed the day.
Fantastic experience: Excellent ! And how patient they are, couldnt ask for more. Great job! Comin in a year time to do my full license
Fantastic experience: Spent the last couple of days with Scott and Rob doing my mod 1 fantastic instructors, very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately I didn't pass my mod1 today. Have already booked up to try again next month. Would recommend these guys to everyone without hesitation.
Thank you we are glad you enjoyed your course, looking forward to seeing you next month.
Fantastic experience: I have recently completed my compulsory basic training (CBT) and Mod 1 and 2 training and tests with Phoenix Motorcycle Training Colchester. Across these five days, I had the privilege of being instructed and supervised by Scott, Rob, and Paul. All are experienced riders and fantastic instructors with personable approaches to their work. They all created a relaxed, light-hearted learning environment that helped alleviate the pressure I (and I am sure many others) put myself under, helping me to pass first time on all counts. I didn’t get to meet Peter but he did organise my training and tests over the phone and email. Again, very polite and professional throughout. I would certainly recommend Phoenix Motorcycle Training Colchester, and a huge thank you to the team.
Fantastic experience: Just had an advanced bike assessment with Paul who was amazing! Very knowledgeable and approachable, will Definitely be getting some more lessons in the new year! Thanks Paul!
You are most welcome glad you enjoyed it.
Fantastic experience: Had the privilege of doing my direct access with the team at phoenix and what a journey it was. Having never sat on a bike apart from my CBT, Phoenix took my hand and guided me through large bike conversion all the way to getting my full license. Firstly lets start with the boss man Peter, really accommodating and genuine when you speak with him. Not remotely pushy and very forthcoming. I had lessons with two different instructors in prep for my mod 1 & mod 2. I had 1:1 & mod 2 training sessions with Paul - he has an incredible eye to detail and adjusts as you do. Able to spot mistakes you know your making and help you adjust them as your riding and getting you ready, top bloke and a proper laugh as well very human interaction. I also had the privilege of being taught by Scott for a road ride and my Mod 1 training in the same session, absolute character again great personality, banter and a real human experience. Superb eye for detail and like Paul you can clearly see that these guys love and care about what they do. Also a shout out to Rob did not have the luxury of being taught by this instructor but did have a chat with him during sessions and passing, great personality & I do not doubt he is also a huge credit to the team. Would happily go see the guys just to say hi and show off my first bike once I've got it and the relationship around the guys are like family its great. If your looking for a school in Colchester and just umming and ahhing, I can not recommend the team at Phoenix enough. Take the plunge, ride safe, and see you all out there.
Fantastic experience: I attended a big bike lesson today with Paul and left so pleased. I'm a female on the short side and they had a lowered 650cc bike that rode amazingly, within minutes Paul had my confidence 100 times more than when I'd arrived and had me completing multiple tasks on the bike that to be honest when I arrived I didn't think I'd be able to achieve. Paul was completely processional and explained any errors in a brilliant way without making me feel stupid and also explaining how to correct them. I've left today on a high and am truly greatful to have found this lovely team. I'd definitely recommend them if your lacking confidence. The whole fleet of bikes looked well cared for.
Fantastic experience: I must say that the course was the best learning experience to get you up and running, The instructor was very professional, I learnt so much good and constructive riding skills and mind set of motorcycle handling and vision, lane position in such a short time . It was a great and can’t thank them enough, I hadn’t ridden a bike for 37 years , FANTASTIC
You are most welcome glad you had a good day.
Fantastic experience: Had a brilliant assessment lesson for some advanced riding with Paul today. So glad I did it there was a number of point I can improve on and I will definitely be booking to some training up soon. Would completely recommend it to anyone who wants to improve themselves , their ride and safety.
Fantastic experience: Had a such an amazing time doing my CBT with the two instructors(Rob&Scott), went through every element in such depth, making sure your confident at every aspect, made the whole experience enjoyable as well as having such a laugh along the way, definitely made the experience a lot funnier and enjoyable, top class instructor's will definitely be back again! Thanks for everything guys!! Can't recommend going here enough had such a good time!!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Absolutely spot on , great group of guys , will be going back to do my A2
Fantastic experience: I had my CBT today with Scott and this Australian fella couldn’t have asked for better trainers , if I could re do my CBT just for the fun of it I generally would , two passionate riders teaching newcomers how to ride safely and also teaching the rider how to enjoy the road. If you can get to Colchester and want to learn to ride it’s a no brainer really.
Fantastic experience: A great set up with a very helpful, friendly and professional team of trainers. We'd highly recommend Phoenix Motorcycle Training to anyone wishing to take their motorbike licence!
Thank you, glad you had a good day. Just doing a follow up to track google to our booking system can you tell me the date you did your CBT/training. Regards
Fantastic experience: Passed my MOD1 & MOD 2, thank you Scott & Rob for your support and great service, so helpful and would highly recommend their service. I felt at ease straight away and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you
You are most welcome.
Fantastic experience: Best place to get CBT done. Guys are super friendly and easy to get along with. They'll train you well so you feel safe and comfortable on the bike.
Thank you, glade you enjoyed the day.
Fantastic experience: Did the Fire bike course and was out on the road with Paul. Was a great help in working on my weak area's and guiding me on the path to becoming an improved rider.
Well done Dean
Fantastic experience: Done all my training with Phoenix and without exception they've been absolutely first class. I've got to give a massive thanks to Paul for his patience, understanding and explanations. He's an excellent teacher and an asset to the company
Thank you
Positive experience: I’m happy to say I did the Advanced one day with Paul, a very articulate and knowledgeable guy. I would recommend to anyone with the inclination to advance their riding skills and knowledge to book a three or five day, Ito e well worth the money.
Thank you Peter
Fantastic experience: Scott was a gem all day. Making us both feel very welcomed and comfortable. His instruction was clear and if we didn't get it straight away he took his time and didn't get annoyed or frustrated with us. Will be coming back to do my full licence once I have had more experience on my 125. Their wait list may be longer than some in Colchester but trust me the teaching level is worth the wait. You can tell its a passion and not just a job.
Thank you. You are most welcome.
Fantastic experience: Had a days training with Paul following a Firebike course. He was excellent and explained everything clearly and easy to understand so I could put the new skills into my riding before the end of the day. Definitely recommend.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: If your thinking about getting back on a bike after a long break this is a fantastic way to get yourself back upto speed. Couldn't recommend this enough, Paul Collins was exceptional he gave me back my confidence to get back on the road...personalised day tailored to my needs. Great experience book now it may save your life.
You are most welcome glad you enjoyed the day.
Fantastic experience: Did my mod 1 training with Phoenix . Scot was my instructor. He was brilliant made me feel at ease and had a good laugh to boot. Highly recommended.
Thank you. You are most welcome
Fantastic experience: Passed my Mod 2 in March. Had the best training provided by Scott! Loved every bit of it, he made me feel super confident on the bike with absolute no riding experience whatsoever. Highly recommended!
Thank you you are most welcome.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! I did my cbt and a2 licence here and my instructor scott was very patient with me and all my faults. I learnt alot and I recommend pheonix to any one wanting to learn to ride. Thank you phoenix and Big thanks to Scott.
You are most welcome
Fantastic experience: Highly commended - superb training from Scott who brought back the essential roadcraft and more importantly, the confidence to be back on a bike after 17 years out of the saddle. Thoroughly enjoyed the day, the chat and returning home with a real buzz to be back on 2 wheels again, even with experiencing four seasons in one day out of the road. Cheers Scott, I promise to not to bring the name of Phoenix into disrepute again by short-cutting mini-roundabouts - my two-finger braking might take a while to shake off though ;) Whatever level of tuition you need, don’t look further than these guys.
You are most welcome
Fantastic experience: Did my A2 with Phoenix. Scott, the instructor, was an excellent teacher and helped me pass first try
Well done You are most welcome.
Fantastic experience: With no motorbike experience, I managed to pass cbt, mod 1 + 2 including training and test, with phoenix, first time. This all comes down to a certain instructor named Scott.

Fantastic experience: Just completed CBT(125 geared bike). Scott was great, very patient but still gave me just the right amount of encouragement and advice when I needed it. Thanks.
You are welcome
Fantastic experience: I had my CBT training with Phonix motorcycle training centre and had Scott as trainer. He was a characteristic person I liked very much. I enjoyed the day on the training, he spent a lot of time with me and other guy on bike at training centre as well as on the road. His telling me off even when I was wrong on some of the manoeuvres was funny! He is a brilliant guy to be trained. So for this reason SCOTT you deserve 10/10 from me mate. I wish him a best Christmas ever. I definitely would take my big motorcycle training with this company if I had this guy as a trainer.
Thank you. You are most welcome.

Fantastic experience: The guys at Phoenix have got me from a total beginner rider to obtaining my full motorcycle licence. Paul has been superb at giving me the knowledge/skills required to pass Mod 1 & 2 and I am super grateful for his support and that I picked Phoenix for the job. I couldn't recommend them enough!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I couldn't have been happier with the experience I've had with Scott whilst doing my CBT. Super friendly and helpful, always clear on instructions and calm. Amazing approach to talking through mistakes if any are made. Overall more than chuffed with my time spent with Scott from Phoenix Motorcycle training. CBT down, time to get the Mod1 and Mod2 booked up with them
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Not only the best motorcycle training but the most personable trainers.

Fantastic experience: I booked onto my CBT for last Sunday and having never been on a geared bike I was rather apprehensive, however Scott the instructor was brilliant, he put me at ease and kept my nerves at bay. I cannot thank Scott enough for teaching me in such a clear, concise and laid-back manner, I'll be back to do my MOD1and2 when the time comes. Thanks for all your help last week Scott! Don't hesitate to book with this place.

Thank you
Fantastic experience: Brilliant day, learned loads and had fun! Cheers Scott
Thank you glad you had a good day.
Negative experience: When you pay for CBT you expect full training. I accept my son was not ready to pass but they could have let him practise till the end if the day. Instead they stopped when they were meant to go on the road. Also, they could have observed my son better and pinpoint the problems and find solutions. They failed 3 out of 4 that day. I'd say its above average fail rate.
Hi Azam Thank you for your feed back that we greatly value. Just for clarity there are very strict DVSA guidelines for CBT that we follow. We have a working day of approximately 6 hours of training (our students normally get more) that is what our CBT cost covers starting at 0830hrs with a road ride of a minimum of 2hrs. Amin received over 6 hrs. That day we had 4 students with 2 instructors. The students that were not ready to go on the road ride were offered extra training. 1 student was surfing badly with the heat and was advised not to go on the road. 1 student decided not to carry on with the training. 1 student went on the road and the other instructor stayed with the other students. At the start of the day all students are asked if they have any previous experience so they can be grouped accordingly for training. Your son did not explain that he wanted the CBT for a delivery job that would be riding an automatic bike, he was struggling with the use of clutch and gears. He was offered an Auto but decided to stay on a geared bike. Only at the end of the day did the instructors find out about his requirement for CBT. The CBT is not a test, so you theoretically cannot 'pass or fail' your CBT. Although you can't fail a CBT, you may be asked to come back for additional training until the instructor feels you are SAFE to ride on the road. There is a complaints procedure if you feel that we did not carry out the training correctly for your son [email protected] or please call us to discuss extra training for your son.
