Expert Instructors and Personalised Methodology
MTS Sussex stands out for a team of instructors who combine extensive road experience with an exceptional ability to adapt every lesson to each student's pace. The centre maintains a maximum ratio of two students per instructor, guaranteeing individualised attention from day one. Users consistently highlight their patience, clear explanations, and skill in building confidence, even for those approaching motorcycling with zero experience or initial nerves. The blend of professionalism and a relaxed, approachable atmosphere turns every session into safe, effective learning.
Comprehensive Training for Every Licence Stage
The school offers a complete range of courses designed to cover every step of the motorcycling journey, from beginner to unrestricted riding. Their programme includes:
- CBT and New Rider Training courses, ideal for those wanting a preliminary taster before committing to full licensing.
- Preparation for the A1 licence (from age 17), A2 licence (from age 19), and the Direct Access Scheme (DAS) for unrestricted motorcycles (from age 24).
- Refresher and return-to-riding programmes for experienced riders coming back after a break, plus special 'No L-Plate' days for newly qualified riders seeking extra road time.
- Rapid licence upgrade courses allowing riders who have held their current category for two years to progress efficiently without repeating unnecessary theory exams.
Structured Practice and a Commitment to Road Safety
Training follows a clear progression from classroom theory to controlled range manoeuvres, before advancing to supervised public road riding. Instructors use real-time headset communication to guide positioning, throttle control, and hazard awareness, ensuring corrections happen instantly. Safety is the absolute priority: the team will not progress to the next stage until the rider demonstrates full bike control and confidence. This meticulous approach, combined with a supportive environment that encourages open questions, helps students internalise highway code rules and develop genuinely responsible riding habits.
Facilities, Fleet and Practical Support
As a family-run business, MTS Sussex carefully manages every operational detail to ensure a seamless experience. Lessons take place across spacious, well-maintained training grounds with dedicated safe zones for skill development. The training fleet is regularly updated, featuring modern machines like the Yamaha MT-07 that are perfectly suited for both learning and test preparation. The school provides comprehensive safety gear (helmets, jackets, and gloves in multiple sizes), which is particularly valuable for beginners without their own kit. Please note that participants must be able to communicate in English and hold a basic understanding of highway regulations to join the courses.
Student Satisfaction and Proven Results
The student experience at MTS Sussex is consistently marked by high satisfaction rates and strong first-time pass records. Learners frequently praise the structured approach, noting how the training builds not just exam competence, but real-world road confidence. The team’s dedication is evident in the steady flow of students returning for advanced licensing modules and in the frequent recommendations from past pupils to friends and family. Prioritising quality instruction and rider wellbeing, the school has established itself as a trusted destination for anyone seeking a thorough, enjoyable, and results-driven motorcycling education.

Fantastic experience: Done my CBT here for the second time now and it’s been great both times. Highly recommend MTS; Rick and the team were great!
Thanks Hamza, we look forward to seeing you back again - maybe for your full licence one day hey?!!!
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT in April and have just passed my DAS course. I would recommend MTS to anyone. The trainers are so passionate and knowledgeable and make you feel at ease. Lu who runs the business and does the admin is so efficient. The bikes are only several years old and well looked after. I have nothing negative to say…
Thanks for the review Dave, so glad you passed and had such a good tie - we look forward to seeing you again soon , especially with donuts lol!
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly recommend MTS Sussex to anyone wanting to get on a bike. I did my CBT with them last weekend and prior to this I did a new riders training course considering I have never ridden before. The CBT was mainly instructed by Max who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and was also a good laugh. I went on my road ride with Neil, also a nice bloke and seemingly just as knowledgeable. I hope to come back and get my A2 license with them very soon. Thank you to both Max and Neil for your time, patience and expertise.
Wonderful feedback thanks Finlay, we're glad you had fun and we look forward to doing the A2 with you soon!
Fantastic experience: What can I say about this place ;) I went from a CBT to a full A licence after spending just 3 days with Ric and Max. Best part being that I really enjoyed the time I've spent with them, not only because of their vast knowledge, experience and great teaching abilities, but because they really are great guys to go riding with! You cannot go wrong with MTS! The friendly atmosphere and the true effort these people put into the training just makes it a perfect choice. I am now happily riding my dream bike ;) Guys, thank you again for making a dream come true!!!
Fantastic review, thank you so much! We're all really chuffed that you enjoyed your training and of course that you passed, well done for all your effort, a great result! Don't forget to pop in and show us your dream bike soon too.
