Dorset Advanced Motorcycle Training: Reviews
Negative experience: If you are a foreigner and not a native English speaker, you are advised not to come here for CBT training. There is an elderly white gentleman instructor who dislikes communicating with you and has zero tolerance, while also raising the standards for you. During the process, he openly states things like "I don’t want to communicate with him," which feels discriminatory and deeply upsetting. He then delegates responsibility for me to another accompanying instructor. This other instructor, however, is the complete opposite—very patient and responsible. Another confusing aspect is that while the elderly gentleman is highly experienced, the other instructor occasionally makes mistakes and seems lacking in confidence, often being corrected by the gentleman. If they are in a teacher-student relationship, is it appropriate for them to jointly guide clients undergoing CPT training? I’m unclear about this issue. I did not pass this training, and while I acknowledge that I made some mistakes—a result I accept—the problems I mentioned still exist. For me, this was a terrible experience. If you’re a local English speaker, congratulations—this is the right place for you.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend these guys for all your motorcycle training needs, last week I did my cbt with Kevin and after that I did my das course with Charlie and now I have my full motorcycle license! Everyone was so helpful, easy to talk to and also super knowledgeable. Thanks to everyone at Dorset advanced!
Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say thank you to everyone at dorset advanced motorcycle training for helping me pass my CBT. I know I'm a bit late to write a review but I thought I donit now. I've been on my bike every day since I've past and I could only do it with all your help so thank you very much. From noah
Fantastic experience: So grateful I chose these guys. Thorough and professional and Norman is a legend Thank you and highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I recently did my cbt here with Gary and Norman I must say they were both extremely patient and willing to help they have clear instructions and explained everything very well would really recommend here
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed myself and I felt that Norman's knowledge and experience got me through both part 1 and part 2 first time. I highly recommend. Just ask for Stormy Norm.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of completing my CBT licence with Charlie, completely new to driving and with little knowledge of the roads I was a little bit nervous, however Charlie made it easy to learn and helped me massively along the way, I found his advice so valuable I booked a 2nd training course to ensure my safety on the roads. Thanks a lot Charlie, highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Got thorough training and was very patient, passed in the end and wouldn't recommend anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT this past Monday with Kevin and I cannot recommend him enough. I first did my CBT 15+ years ago with a horribly rude and abusive instructor down in Weymouth and after I passed never wanted to step foot on a bike again. Fast forward to 2024 and I decided I wasn't going to let one person put me off my dream of riding a motorbike (albeit a 125cc!). I rocked up and met Kevin and told him of my past experiences with the other school and he totally put my mind at ease. When on the bike his instructions on how to control it correctly are clear, concise and calm and when I was struggling, he took the time to explain things in as different way to make it easier for me. I was absolutely bricking it about going onto the road, but having Kev's voice in my ear coaching me through it made it so much easier and I really started to enjoy the ride - 2 hours goes fast! My throttle and clutch control needs some practice, but Kev gave me all the tools I needed to ride safely and to get better with time. The negatives are VERY minor! But here they are: Practising the emergency stop on the car park at the Conservative Club can be quite tricky, as you need to do a loop to build up enough speed, however this is also something you do on the road, so it's only a very minor issue. And secondly the throttle on the Suzuki GSX-S125 was a little twitchy, the smallest movement and the revs shot up. But this very well could be down to my inexperience on the bike! Overall I cannot recommend Dorset Advanced Motorcycle Training enough and especially Kev! I'll definitely be back to complete my DAS early next year!
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT yesterday amazing instructor very professional enjoyed every part of it. I was very nervous but passed anyway X great teaching school would recommend to anyone
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of completing my CBT with Kevin. I had never been on a bike before, not even a moped, so it took me a while to get to grips with everything but he was really patient, didn’t make me feel like a fool, and generally a really top bloke. Thank you for building my confidence and for an epic road ride! I loved it!! Kevin, you rock!! Thank you
Fantastic experience: Can’t than Kevin enough for his patience today. If it wasn’t for him I would have given up in the car park. Proper recommend this instructor for anyone wishing to do they’re CBT Top fela Thanks again mate
Fantastic experience: Couldnt’t recommend the company more, everyone is so helpful which lead to me passing my full A license. A big thanks to Norman the instructor and Hannah in the office.
Well done to you Max to thank you for your review enjoy and stay safe
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Did my CBT with Kevin having never sat on a bike before. He was incredibly patient and clearly explained all manoeuvres and gear changes, and gave clear instruction on the road. I felt completely in safe hands and so happy I passed. Thanks Kevin and Dorset Advanced!
Thank you Tamsin for your review glad you enjoyed your day with ourselves enjoy your riding
Fantastic experience: Just passed my mod 2 with DAMT, Norman has been brilliant, he was very patient with me despite my anxiety getting the best of me on a couple of tests but he never made me feel bad about it and was always encouraging. I now have my pass certificate with no minors at all and couldn’t recommend DAMT and Norman enough! See you somewhere on the road, thank you.

Fantastic experience: Just got home after a five day course with DAMT, what a great set up with great staff. I did my CTB with Charlie some weeks ago and yesterday completed my Mod 1 and today my Mod 2. Both of which I passed. All with the help of Norman and Charlie, Norman was patient with my constant questions and truly very good at his job.. Highly recommend DAMT and will be doing some advanced motor cycle training with them in due course, maybe when its a little warmer. Thanks again gents.

Thank you for your review glad you both enjoyed your day with us despite the awful weather
Fantastic experience: Had my cbt with ben today being the 3rd cbt I have done he has so far been the best instructor I have had, he has really opened my eyes with how important it is to understand how the road works, his tips in how to ensure a safety riding while showing me the correct ways to maneuver to ensure safety had given me more confidence then I had when I started, I have been riding since 2020 and have been told and shown everything but Ben still managed to teach me important and safety steps which I've not known before, 1000% recommend booking throught Dorset advanced
Hi Billy Thanks for your review so glad you enjoyed the day and that you learnt so much from our instructor

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Ben who was absolutely fantastic, very knowledgeable and patient. After my first attempt on a geared bike didn't go as planned Ben suggested I came back and did it on a scooter, which worked out perfectly and helped me regain my confidence on a bike. Would definitely recommend Dorset Advanced Motorcycle Training

Fantastic experience: After a really difficult and overwhelming first attempt at my CBT two weeks ago, today I walked away with my certificate! My instructor Ben was amazing, extremely patient, supportive and very knowledgeable. Today I had the whole day with Ben on a 1-1, and on my own bike, and Ben even picked my bike up for me, which was such a great help. And thanks to Hannah too for your help. I'm so chuffed, and haven't stopped smiling! From never riding a motorbike, to having only two days training, is an incredible achievement and a journey I can't wait to start enjoying. Thanks again Ben and Team, I look forward to coming back next year for my full license.

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT training yesterday with Ben. I cannot praise Ben enough for his patience with me. Having minimal experience on a geared motorbike he spent time with me and was very reassuring and professional. I was getting frustrated with myself but he took hold of the situation and got me through the day. Got to mention Kenon who I met on the CBT. Thanks for your support and encouragement. I can’t recommend this lot highly enough.
Thanks for your review glad you enjoyed your day and pleased with the training you received
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT with Ben and would give him 10 stars if possible, such a calm and friendly guy with all the facts and advice to secure a safe ride on the road! Can’t wait to do my Full license under his guide !

Fantastic experience: done my cbt on the 20/8/23 with Ben, he was so thorough with the training and made me feel so safe whilst i was out on the road. made a few mistakes which he could have easily put me down as a fail for as one of them were major but no he wanted me to pass so we went back and did it again about 3-4 times until we were both happy. he explained everything so clearly and made sure that you were happy with what you were doing and felt safe at all times. gave me lots of pointers to help me improve and i passed first time because of him. thank you so much ben, iam so grateful for what you do and what i achieved on that day.

Thanks for your review glad your daughter enjoyed day with us safe ri
Fantastic experience: I recently did my CBT with Ben at Dorset Advanced, having never ridden a bike before. I could not have wished for a more professional, thorough, kind and genuinely caring instructor than Ben, who is simply outstanding. Suffice it to say I was very nervous initially but Ben was so clear, calm and precise throughout the instruction; building my knowledge, competence and confidence systematically, with empathy, compassion and positive reassurance throughout. In the initial car park sessions, we went through the theory and then put it into practice with slow riding and bike handling in a controlled environment, with Ben really making sure I'd understood the principles, was safe on the bike and was confident enough to venture onto the roads. Once on the road, Ben's totally clear, calm, and timely instruction through the headset was just absolutely superb! Without his clarity and professionalism, together with his consistent, calm and precise guidance and reassurance, I would not have built the confidence I needed to come back and complete the DAS. When we came back from the CBT road ride, I was buzzing, having absolutely loved the experience and I can say sincerely that Ben's professionalism, instruction and clear commands were just exceptional! He is genuinely lovely, caring and so utterly professional, I doubt you will find better anywhere else! The booking process was also superb, with huge thanks to Hannah and to Sue. Dorset Advanced is a brilliant, family-run business that genuinely cares. I've booked to do my DAS with them and being short in the leg (I'm 5'2") Gary and Norman have even been out and bought a new bike to supplement their fleet, and had it lowered, so that us shorter ladies need not be disadvantaged on a big bike that is too high for us. Review of the DAS to follow soon but once again, a massive, massive thank you to Ben - just an exceptional instructor and a lovely, caring person!!
Thanks Jane for your review I'll pass your comments on to Ben good luck with your das course fingers crossed for Wednesday
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic 1 to 1 CBT with Charlie. He is such a nice guy and really knows his stuff. He is so patient with beginners, unlike other places where I have had bad experiences learning how to ride on motorcycles. I have really struggled with my slow riding and group CBTs in the past and it has always been the wall between me and being able to ride. Despite the fact I was so anxious and that I made things more difficult for myself, Charlie persevered and provided me with the help and reassurance that I needed, however frustrating it must have been! I'll definitely be going back to do my proper bike test after I've got a few more miles under my belt. Thank you so much Dorset Advanced Motorcycle Training!!!
Thank you Jon for you review and hopefully reassuring message for others that might be in your position so thank you again glad you enjoyed the day and safe riding
Fantastic experience: My instructor Ben really friendly and patient. He will teach how to ride safe on the road and won’t take you to the road unless you prepared. Read good instructor.

Fantastic experience: Just completed my CBT training with Dorset Advanced Motorcycle Training. Charlie Hack our instructor was brilliant. He went through all the elements of the day with a calm, patient and professional manor, on the Road ride after lunch, was very encouraging and made sure we were safe and carrying out all his instructions via the intercom system. Highly recommend these guys Great Day !!
Thank you Martin for your review glad you enjoyed your training day with Charlie
Fantastic experience: Thanks for a great day Charlie really helped me feel comfortable on the road
Thank you for your 5star review glad you enjoyed your training
Fantastic experience: just now NEW Passed my CBT yesterday, thanks to my fantastic instructor Ben. For someone who has never been on a bike or drove a car, so completely new to the roads, and suffer with high anxiety, I was a bag of nerves on the day, and my anxiety sky high. My instructor Ben, made me feel at ease. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and very patient and understanding. My main anxiety kicked in when we were due go on the roads after the initial training. But when we was on the road, Ben made me feel extremely safe, with constant direction, and by the end of the day I wanted to go faster ha ha ha. I completely came off that course loving it. So for anyone who is a complete novice like me, I couldn't recommend Ben more. Thank you Ben, for making what I thought wad going to be the worst day ever, the best.
Thanks for your review Nicola so pleased you enjoyed your cbt day with us and we got you to a confident rider enjoy
Fantastic experience: Brilliant people very much enjoyed the day lots of knowledge gained. Definitely returning.
Hi Matt thank you for your review really pleased you enjoyed your day with us look forward to seeing you again
Fantastic experience: Having been through a CBT with a Christchurch company who was unsupportive at best impatient at worst, then not being able to ride for 5 years due to having a baby, I was more nervous this time but Charlie was amazing. He gave me time and the confidence. We didn’t sit in a classroom environment for the first few hours we got on the bikes and actually practiced what was needed. I can’t thank you enough and I can’t wait to get on my bike and ride then come back to you guys and do my DAS. Thank you so much Charlie and the team at Dorset Advanced. I’ll see you again soon.
Thank you for your review so glad you had a great experience and learnt a lot from us

Hi Thanks for your review glad you enjoyed your day with us
Fantastic experience: Our instructor Ben was phenomenal - super easy to got on with, and gave us loads of great training. He made sure we were comfortable at every stage of the day. He went above and beyond anything I was expecting, giving us guidance on key things like safety, what equipment we should buy, as well as his thoughts on bikes that I was looking at buying along with plenty of useful tips - whilst the nature of the day was serious, he made sure to make the day quite fun and myself and a friend had a blast - great to also pass first time without any issues. Would highly recommend these guys to anyone looking to do CBT like i did, or the higher up courses - you're in safe hands!
Thanks William for your review glad you enjoyed the day for you cbt safe riding out there

Thank you for your review glad you enjoyed your day will pass your thanks onto Ben

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic 1st class experience at my CBT with Ben this morning a very detailed and well explained experience , I would highly recommend this company simply because of him thank you Ben Thomas Vickrage
Pleased you enjoyed your experience with us look forward to seeing you again
Fantastic experience: Having never ridden a geared motorbike before, I chose Dorset Advanced Motorcycle Training due to their reputation and reviews, and today really illustrated just how well deserved they are. Having my car, bus and lorry licences (as well as having been an instructor myself) I have met lots of instructors, but there isn’t a single one that had the patience, professionalism, and genuine friendliness shown by Ben today. He is absolutely amazing, even to the point that because we hadn’t completed the necessary requirements in time, he even stayed on longer tonight just to ensure that we passed. I cannot hesitate but to recommend. I went from being a complete novice to feeling safe on the road in a day, and I sincerely doubt that many other schools or instructors could have done the same thing. Their reputation is fully deserved, and I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking about doing a CBT or license. Flawless service from booking to passing.
Glad you enjoyed your experience and learnt a lot from it enjoy your future riding
Fantastic experience: Just finished my CBT with Ben on this course and, cannot be happier. He was so helpful and patient. Called me Valentino Rossi a few times ;) but I don't blame him, I get mistaken for him all the time. We ate into a couple hours outside of the planned agreement but, he was more than happy to stay on. Hope he enjoys his pint, he bloody deserves. Top bloke and a good lad. Would highly recommend these guys.
We were happy to get you through so you could enjoy your riding experience with ourselves
Fantastic experience: I know others do it cheaper but you get what you pay for and the instructor really knows his stuff didn't leave anything out. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Completed and passed my CBT this week with Dorset Advanced Motorcycle Training. Huge thanks to Charlie who was my instructor. He was absolutely brilliant; so patient, knowledgeable and kind, he really went above and beyond. My bike broke down part way through the day.... He really went the extra mile in resolving this issue and nothing was too much trouble.
So glad you enjoyed your day hope you get your bike fixed soon safe riding

Fantastic experience: I honestly couldn't recommend these guys enough, it's been a cod wet 4 days but Norman has got us through our DAS course effortlessly, a few wet socks and bacon rolls later and we can now ride big bikes! Thanks guys!
It was a pleasure to teach both of you enjoy safe riding
Fantastic experience: DAS with Norman, patient and really helpful. He cares that you want to pass. Lots of training, plenty of opertunity to practise, he doesn't rush you. I wanted to do A1 but Norman recomended I went for A2 as he saw I would fail the A1 with the more powerful bike. I passed A2, which is enough power for me for now. Highly recomend. ( I did my CBT with them as well).
So pleased you got your full test now safe riding and enjoy
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT course with Charlie. He was absolutely amazing. I had only driven cars until my cbt and he helped me gain confidence in riding, very patient aswell! Would definitely recommend
Hi So pleased you enjoyed your day with us safe riding
Fantastic experience: Ok so first things first. Norman will eat all your sausage sandwiches given the chance! This is a great school to learn all the requirements to be safe on the road. Norm is a great teacher, with patience in abundence. He has been riding motorcycles before dinosaurs roamed these parts and has been an instructor for almost as long. Im so glad I chose this school because it not only enabled me to pass both Mod 1 and Mod 2 first time but has also set me up for a lifetime of SAFE riding. I cannot stress enough the importance of listening and absorbing information from someone who knows his stuff! Sue is also amazing and will make the whole process behind the scenes seamless. Thank you guys, a super few days.
So glad you enjoyed your time with no one should be feeding the dinosaur he's supposed to be on a diet enjoy your new bike stay safe
Fantastic experience: Very good place for the CBT. I had to come back twice to finish it as I was very green riding a motorbike. But the instructor remained patient and encouraging. If you wan to do the CBT, give this company a go!
Thank you Sergi for your kind comments hope you enjoy your riding
Fantastic experience: Went to renew my CBT. Everything was simple to underatand, great and thorough explanations, very professional 10 out of 10. Thanks a lot Mickey.

Glad you enjoyed your experience with ourselves
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT there on Wednesday and had Micheal as my instructor. He made me feel at complete ease even when I was feeling nervous and was so friendly and approachable which is a big thing for me as I have anxiety! Lovely man and passed my CBT which was amazing! Thank you Micheal, best instructor for anyone looking to learn!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic!!!!! My son who is 16 had a full day's CBT test today with Michael. He has never ridden but is super confident and really wants to ride. Michael was brilliant with him. He passed !!! Fin will be booking another course with you very soon to learn manual gears so when he is 17 he can ride his 125 safely with L plates. And then continue to another course so he can ride without them. Thank you Michael and all at Dorset Advanced. See you again soon. Highly recommend. As a Mum I feel alot better that he's learning the basics in the correct way and he understands the safety requirements. The more experience and support he can get from you guys before he goes on the road alone the better. Thank you !!!
Thank you for your review glad your so pleased with our service and level of teaching look forward to seeing your son again soon
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. I previously completed a CBT, and most recently my DAS, with Dorset Advanced, and found them to be nothing other than calm, courteous, knowledgable, and professional in their training and wider support. Norm’s expertise was invaluable, and his approach to producing well-rounded riders, and not just ‘teaching to the test’, made learning both easy and enjoyable. Test day came and went comfortably as a result. Many thanks!
Thanks David por your review it was a pleasure to teach you glad you enjoyed your experience with ourselves
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic training from Norman, just successfully completed my DAS course today! Patient and excellent tutoring given. Each day was well structured to build confidence stepping up into driving bigger bikes. Mix of off road and on the road training and of course the regular coffee pit stops!! This followed my CBT refresher a couple of weeks back with Charlie who also gave very good training. Looking forward with confidence now to getting myself an upgrade on my 125!! Highly recommend to anyone looking to complete any training. Thanks once again! James
Thank you James for your review glad you enjoyed your time with us happy safe riding enjoy
Fantastic experience: Booked for my husband. He really enjoyed the experience and found it very helpful. Staff were very professional and supportive.
Thank you for your kind review
Fantastic experience: I enrolled for the six day course in order for me to pass my Part 1 and Part 2 motorcycle test. I had the pleasure of having Norman as my instructor. To say that he was ‘outstanding’ in his ability to teach and instruct does not go far enough. He is the best instructor for anyone who is nervous and lacks confidence. Any mothers out there wishing their sons/ daughters to learn to ride in a safe responsible fashion then this is the No1 place to go. It is a family run firm who are conscientious and passionate about their work. Thanks to Dorset Advanced I can now take down my L plates! I really appreciate my time with them and I wish Dorset Advanced all the very best. Kind regards, Gilly
Thank you for your kind comments glad you enjoyed your course with Norman safe riding
Negative experience: Horrible place for the CBT test stay away from this place I just got 30 mins late and they ask me to rebook the test again and pay again the trainers do not have human values, in every CBT test initially two hours are just formal information session they give information about gear, I got late coz my bus got delayed by 20mins and also this place is far away from Bournemouth and not so easy to go there by bus.
Dear Mr Patil, thank you for your comments and review. However, if I could be kind enough to clear up this matter with you as the several emails that we sent do not seem to reflect the truth and only a version of events that you wish to express. Firstly we pride ourselves on providing first class training to all our pupils which is required by the DVSA and follow a strict set of modules within a timely manner. All training provided, unless private, is conducted at a ratio of 2 pupils to 1 instructor. Therefore, training must be kept on time to ensure that anyone else training does not miss out on the day. Secondly, your lateness to the training day was no ones fault but your own. You were over 45 minutes late, you made no attempt to contact us either by email or phone to make us aware you were late and then expected the other pupil and instructor to stop when already well into training to accommodate yourself. The instructor was in their full right to turn you away. Thirdly the location of our training centre, which has been there for over 20 years, should not effect any pre-planning on your behalf for the journey to ensure that you had left plenty of time to get there. Like all other training schools the locations of our site are out of town. The main reason is the size of site that is required, this is near impossible to secure within a town centre. Finally, after making contact with us you were given another opportunity to re-book your CBT the following week at a heavily discounted price, which you declined. As a business, like many, we have costs to bear even if students to do not attend which we are required to pay. We do everything in our power to ensure you are given all the correct information to ensure your day can run smoothly, which includes on the paperwork the full address of the training site, the date including starting time and all the terms and conditions which you signed. We value all our customers and we our proud of the training provided over the last 20+ years, however your comments are unjustified, false and only caused by your neglect to give yourself adequate time to attend the course or make us aware prior to attending of your lateness. We wish you all the best in the future and hope you succeed in sourcing your training elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: The guys at Dorset advanced are absolutely amazing, Lisa was fantastic when I done my cbt with her, she explained every exercise with great detail and allowed me to take my time when doing them and got me through it with ease And Norman was absolutely amazing, I couldn’t be happier with the way he treated me on the course for my ‘big boy license’ he allowed me redo certain exercises if I didn’t feel 100% on how I done it and he explained everything with great detail, witch helped me achieve my dream of getting my full bike license. I honestly could not recommend theses guys enough, if you want to get your license done, you need to do it with theses guys, top top notch people✊✊
Glad you enjoyed your training with us
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend this company enough. Sue and Norman and Lisa were all amazing, so professional, patient and understanding and were more than happy to ease any pressure and happy to go over anything as many times as you need or would like. This proved to be good as I passed all my tests first time. If any of you are thinking of doing your bike license then this company is where you should start and see it through to the finish. Thank you to you all once again and I wish any future candidates safe and happy riding.
Thank you for your kind comments
Fantastic experience: I did my cbt today with Advanced. Outstanding service. Lisa was brilliant and walked me through everything with loads of knowledge and patience. By the end of the day I was feeling very confident on the bike despite starting the day full of nerves. Would absolutely recommend these guys
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: Big Thank you to Norman for getting me in for a module 2 last minute with some training, really nice chilled guy and easy to get on with! Cam.
Thank you enjoy
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT 15 years ago and came back to do my DAS. I wouldn't have wanted anyone other than Norm guiding me through this, great experience and knowledge. Thank you guys so much for all your help! ️
Thank you for your comments glad you enjoyed your training with norman
Fantastic experience: I've passed my CBT here yesterday! I have an EEC license so It was quite a procedure but even before I booked they have helped me and talked me through what forms will I need from the DVLA and gave me all the necessary information. I havent sat on a motorbike for the last 6 years but my instructor was a suuuper experienced and nice lady who brought me up to speed very efficiently and got that rust off of my skills. I chose the worst day for riding as it was foggy below 0 degrees and drizzling rain my instructor asked me 2 times if Im comfortable enough to continue which I did. Was quite a day but it was also fun! I highly reccomend them and Ill be back this summer for my unlimited license! Thank you so much Dorset Advanced Motorcycles! -Adam
