Flying Colours Motorcycle Training

Fantastic experience: this might be long AND rambling however it needs to be said. Flying Colours are without a doubt the best Motorcycle School i’ve ever been in touch with. In April of this year an incredibly lovely man named Simon led my CBT, which can’t have been an easy task considering that up to that point i had only ever ridden pillion on 2 occasions and sat on motorcycles that were off. He managed to calmly lead the way and got me to a point where i was comfortable to head out to the roads for real knowing i had the know how to keep myself and road users safe. After a few months and remembering that only in November i was turning 24 i decided I wanted to test my luck in upgrading my license to a full A License. In my quest to book everything in, i looked at multiple schools across the area i was willing to travel too and a couple of them had attractive packages but realistically i wasn’t going anywhere else than Flying Colours and now that I’m out the other end and have passed my DAT first time I can safely say that I was in the best hands possible. Nigel handled my training for the Mod 1 & 2, he perfectly balanced the professional side and personable side of it and constantly offered a coffee to us during our break to warm up during the cold of the winter. He also was the first to offer heated gloves to myself and the other student i trained with when we complained that our fingers were stiffening up. We had a 50 min ride up to Burgess Hill test centre which turned into 1 hour and 15 mins due to traffic and Nigel stayed talking in my ear like a friend rather than an instructor but kept giving me valuable Mod 2 advice between sentences. Very talented rider who proved to me over this last week that he’s worth the qualification he carries and more. The owner of Flying Colours also happened to be in the yard as we were getting ready to swing round to the test centre in eastbourne for my mod 2 and, again, he was lovely, patient and full of banter to calm those pre exam jitters i had. i’ve seen some negative reviews due to the money situation, don’t let people fool you with their negative words. the website clearly states that the price you pay is non-refundable, and once that price is paid Flying Colours will have to pay for test slots, staffs time and resources so when you cancel or attempt to reschedule a test that doesn’t refund the company back the money they will lose so kicking off and leaving a bad review for the company isn’t the way to go about things. Overall 5/5 and I have personally recommended to my girlfriend AND my mum that they should use Flying Colours if & when they decide to do their CBT. They will be in excellent hands!

Fantastic experience: Recently done my DAS with flying colours, what an amazing experience. I started of with Nigel then ande took me for my test. All I can say is I highly recommend! Enjoyable time throughout

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with my CBT bike test. Simon, the instructor, was professional, clear, and made sure I felt confident on the bike. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: I wouldn't go anywhere near these guys. After dealing with Ande Friend I was owed £44 and he didn't repay it. I had to escalate a case with paypal which he just ignored. Untrustworthy.

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT here this week and my son did it with them back in February. Really pleased with the friendly and professional teaching and knowledge. Would definitely recommend them to complete beginners like me, as they gave me confidence and great advice.
