Castleton rider training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Just completed my cbt , ash is very patient and understanding and i enjoyed the experience , would definitely recommend.
thank you mate
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t thank ash and martin enough first time passes on both modules great Instructers
yerrrrrrrrrrrrp thank you
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. I did both my a2 and DAS will martin and ash, both very supportive and have great training techniques. Thanks for the help guys
thanks you
Negative experience: One of the gents who taught me was really polite and welcoming when I met them. The other gent was rude and cold towards me for no reason. Commination and all is poor on a different level I tried to resolve a issue with the gent all he did was read the messages and completely ignore with no response in trying to resolve the issue.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We truly appreciate all feedback, as it helps us improve our services. However, I believe this review was less about providing constructive feedback and more about damaging our reputation due to the fact that we could not offer a refund. As per our communication today, you paid for a CBT, but unfortunately, you were unsuccessful in completing it. In response, we offered to arrange a resit at no extra charge, and also scheduled additional sessions for you, which you were unable to attend. These accommodations were made out of kindness and with the intention of doing right by you. As a business, our policy does not allow for refunds if a student is unsuccessful in their CBT. However, we did our best to support you by waiving the resit fee and offering further lessons without charge. We hope this clarifies the situation, and we are always open to discussing matters directly to find the best resolution. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards,
Fantastic experience: Just passed my mod 1 and mod 2 with Ash and am truly so grateful for his temperament, support, teaching techniques, sense of humour, professional approach and kind nature. Without his wealth of knowledge and ability to immediately put me at ease, reassure me and make me laugh, whilst teaching me everything I needed to pass and be safe on the road, I would not have passed and certainly would not have the confidence I do now to get out on the road. Really amazing team and would recommend to anyone wanting to learn to ride a motorbike!
Thank you Katie
Fantastic experience: I had only my CBT for the moment. Spent a really nice morning riding.

Fantastic experience: This is an absolutely amazing motorbike training school. Martin and Ash are amazing instructors and have so much patience. I and my partner have both complete our CBT’s with them. My partner went on to do his direct access quite quickly and passed. I completed my CBT and 18 months later completed my direct access, which I never thought I’d do. I may not have gotten through it if it wasn’t for Martin and his encouragement. Would highly recommend these two as they got us both through it. Thank you so much Martin and Ash

From CBT though to the final mod 2 test they were friendly, supportive, and extremely flexible around my busy schedule, even offering a last training ride on a Sunday the day before my test.

Fantastic experience: perfect institute to learn and get motorbike license. with them it does not feel like you are going through training but instead it feel like you have a bunch of friends teaching you. I live in south Manchester and it was 45 min drive each way but I am glade that I have chosen them to fulfil my dream of obtaining a motorbike license. I spent a best time riding with Martin and Ash and pass my Mod2 with clean sheet. I am so impressed with them that I have my brother and one of my college already going through training with them. ***BEST PLACE FOR LEARNING***
Hamid was a pleasure Sir اسٹاپ

Fantastic experience: If you want any type of bike licence then I would highly recommend Castleton Rider Training. I just got my full DAS licence within 4 days.

Don't hesitate, if you're dedicated and willing you could gain your full DAS licence within days.

Fantastic experience: I did my CBT at Castleton rider training and my instructor for the day was Martin. Throughout the day he ensured that I was confident enough to go out on the road and gave me some incredible tips to keep myself safe. I could not recommend a better place to do a CBT. Great instructors, great training and all at a great price. I definitely know where I’ll be coming to do my A2. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and knowledgeable instructors who didn't make you feel nervous or worried. I hadn't ridden a bike for some years but felt much more confident at the end of the course. Thanks Martin!
Fantastic experience: I’m really pleased I chose Castleton rider training for my Direct access.. I did most of my training with Ash who was very patient and relaxed. I found both Martin and Ash really easy to deal with and very flexible working around my schedule. I am happy to say I passed both modules first time thanks to Castleton rider training. Thank you
Thank you Rick
Fantastic experience: Both are the best instructors. They have helped me incredibly from start to finish. I highly recommend Castleton rider training. 10/10
Thank you very much
Fantastic experience: From the first conversation with Martin over the phone, I knew I was on to a good thing! Having done my CBT with another provider 18 months earlier, I wanted to do my DAS. Other schools were either slow at getting back to me, or didn’t seem very friendly. Let’s be honest, you want a relaxed and friendly environment when you’re learning! Martin was sound, got me booked in and I began my DAS course. I then met Ash who was just as sound! Both had great knowledge, experience! The times were flexible to suit around my shift pattern. The bikes were good! And when I forgot my riding gear, their gear was a decent quality! All in all, it was a pleasure to do my DAS with them, thanks for getting me though my Mod1 & Mod2 and giving me the confidence to ride bigger bikes.
Dom. Thank you for the stars. See you out and about
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT retest with these guys today can’t fault them at all everything was bang on the instructors were friendly, professional and very helpful. Would definitely recommend them and will be coming back in the future.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Recently completed my DAS with Martin and ash. Have been putting it off for years due to worrying and nerve’s and from the minute training started I was made to feel very welcome and relaxed.

Fantastic experience: Look no further for motorcycle training. These gents are very professional when needed and also make the learning experience fun. I have enjoyed all my training and although I failed my first attempt at the mod 2 test, I was given the encouragement to focus my mind again and passed my retest with a clean sheet. My sincere thanks goes to Ash and Martin for their time and patience. Prices seem very reasonable too, compared to some other schools. Safe and happy riding everyone!
Thank you Paul ( when needed ) hope to see you out and About
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to give Castleton Rider Training a ring after getting the runaround by a previous motorbike training school. The instructors at Castleton, Martin and Ash tailored my tuition to my personal needs so no time or money was wasted. I would highly recommend these two fellas to get you out riding safely on two wheels, they made it an all round enjoyable experience for me. Oh and to all you ladies out there they have lowered 650cc bike's for us little ones.
Thank you very much that’s lovely hope uoh enjoy
Fantastic experience: Both great guys and instructors not been on a bike in over 10 years passed my cbt and direct access 1st time with these guys they definitely know how to train you right for the test 5*

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT today and very happy with how Ash helped me with my nervousness and many, many stalls after not having ridden for a good few years.
Thank you pal
Fantastic experience: Really good trainers Doing das wit them soon hopefully
Thank you
Fantastic experience: The problem with Rider training school reviews are people are so chuffed at passing their CBT or DAS Tests that they mistakenly convey their excitement at passing with the quality of training and the school. Its only having had a bad experience with a school and then seeing the real difference with an exceptional school like Castelton that you can really appreciate the difference of having a really good trainer. There is probably no real discernible difference with techniques or content, the key differentiator is how at ease and removal of any external pressures by the trainer . Zayn having failed his CBT previously (@Elite -see review) the guys at Castleton basically opened with he will pass no matter how many tries and with no retest fees. This together with other words of encouragement lifted a mental weight from his shoulders and allowed him to perform to his potential and learn quicker and without apprehension and passed his CBT on a geared bike first time. These guys have been round the block with Motorcycle training and understand the different Psyches of riders and are pseudo therapists as barely ever is the issue insurmountable with the right feedback affirmation and positive reinforcement they get the rider to perform to their potential making everything seem easy.
Thank you very much for a honest review. Means a lot to us. Kind regards Ash/Martin
Fantastic experience: A big thank you to both Ash and Martin for the excellent training they provided. With their help and guidance I successfully completed my direct access course and now have my full motorcycle licence. I thoroughly enjoyed my training and would highly recommend Castleton Rider Training. Thank you.
