Chichester Motorcycle Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my CBT here with Mark, and he was an excellent instructor. It was a fantastic day filled with valuable learning about bikes and safety, all while having a lot of fun. Mark made the entire experience incredibly enjoyable, and at the end of the day he let us try out the 700cc bike. I highly recommend this place. The bikes were fantastic little 125s, and I can't wait to get some miles under my belt and won't hesitate to book my DAS course with them in the summer. It was a truly great experience
Fantastic experience: First time ever doing my CBT with mark, can’t stress enough how amazing he was !! Had a blast of a time with him, super helpful, welcoming and has a positive professional attitude. Definitely recommend the training school ! Definitely coming back to complete my full licence in the future. Thanks Mark !!
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Mark and DSA with Neill and can't recommend these guys enough. They deliver some serious training in such a great way, they teach a lot more than just how to pass your tests. Great Job guys and keep up the great work. Chris.
Fantastic experience: Mark was the best teacher a guy could ask for, after being completely mistreated by Phoenix Motorcycles, learning from Mark was a breath of fresh air, positive, calm, informative and patient. The CBT was insightful and enjoyable, thank you Mark!
Fantastic experience: Had my cbt today with Neil lovely guy easy to talk to and very helpful. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT with Carl, it went fantastic, the assistance and information received was more than helpful, I experienced little to no stress or worry throughout, and all major and minor errors I made were sorted by the end of the course. I highly recommend this place. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Just done my CBT test with Mark. Best experience ever! I felt comfortable while driving, he explained everything perfectly. All day was just perfect! I know nothing is perfect but having Mark as your instructor is one of the best things you can do in life!! I’m definitely coming back for full A license training!!! Highly recommend!!
Thanks for the great review! I will award mark with his very own gold star!
Fantastic experience: Had a great day doing my CBT with Mark. I've never ridden a bike before and I was quite nervous. Mark made me feel relaxed and by the end of the day I was a lot more confident and was proud of myself. Mark is a great teacher, he is laid back with a good sense of humour but also firm when he needs to be but in a calm way. I will definitely be going back to mark for my MOD1&2 tests. 100% recommend this training centre. ️
Thanks for the great review Jodie we make sure that mark gets his gold star
Fantastic experience: Big thanks to Mark for an excellent CBT day, with advice, guidance and leadership, all handled with an excellent sense of humour. Everything that mattered. It's 30-years (+/-) since I rode a bike (CB 250 G5 and XL 250S) and I decided to get re-acquainted. The day flew past but not without learning and re-learning heaps.Thanks 100% to Mark, I grew my confidence and was leaning into the corners by the end of the day. Gold experience and the icing on the cake was passing my theory test the very next day. Will be back for the A tests, without a question of doubt. Cheers.
Fantastic experience: Despite this being my third time doing a CBT, I learned plenty, and in many ways it felt like a first time, given that previous CBTs rushed material or didn't cover it. Mark was exceptional, and not only did he deliver all the training thoroughly but with infectious passion and humour, too. Since completing the course a few days ago my riding has significantly improved, along with my neck flexibility! Could not recommend highly enough. Thank you.
Thanks for the great review we shall be awarding mark a gold star!
Fantastic experience: Without doubt the best motorcycle training school in the area. I completed my CBT with Mark and my DAS with Neill. Both provided exceptional instruction in a friendly & encouraging atmosphere. These guys genuinely care about what they do and they go above and beyond for their students. Don't go anywhere else, get yourself on two wheels with these guys!
Fantastic experience: I had my CBT on Sunday 19th May with no previous experience of riding at all. I was really nervous at first but Mark helped make me feel at ease straight away. He was very informative and helpful but most of all had fun with it :) I had a great day thank you! Can't wait to get my own bike!
Fantastic experience: Great CBT experience. Trainers are on point
Fantastic experience: An excellent day learning and riding with Carl who was great and helped me to pass without any unnecessary stress.
Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT for the first time this week at Chichester Motorcycle training which was delivered by Mark, and I must say how impressed I was with how the training was delivered, the information, coaching and guidance was excellent and Mark clearly demonstrated all day his expert knowledge and passion for safe riding, highly recommend both Mark and Chichester Motorcycle training.
Fantastic experience: I could not recommend this place enough, I had Mark today for my CBT test which thanks to his coaching, patience and expertise I passed. I can’t thank him enough. He never rushed me, never made me feel stupid or silly when I didn’t get it first right and was happy to spend the extra time with me. A really great guy, who clearly loves what he does and wants people to be safe and have a great time. He is so on it and a great laugh too. Couldn’t recommend him or this company enough. Will definitely be returning for a refresher course also!! Would give more gold stars if I could!!
Fantastic experience: Fabulous training with Mark and Julian, thoroughly recommend! Great instructors, had a really enjoyable experience as two novice riders who now feel more confident and looking forward to going out on the road! Once again, Thank you very much to Mark and Julian! All our best, Ken and Beth
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Mark last week and would highly recommend Chichester Motorcycle Training to anyone else. Very indepth, covered things that haven't been covered in previous CBT's, very professional. Mark put everyone at ease, and was very supportive all whilst be able to have a laugh and joke. Will definitely be heading back there when time comes for my full bike test. Mark, thank you for a great day out, really was a confidence boost after being off the road for a few months.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely recommend Chichester Motorcycle Training. Having not ridden a bike for over 20 years I was really nervous but Neill was great.

On the road ride we had a nice time in the sun which made the exprience loads better and the time flew past. Cheers Carl
Fantastic experience: A brilliantly delivered CBT at Chichester Motorcycle Training last week. Extremely informative and helpful and delivered with plenty of humour! Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic day doing my cbt! Instructor was helpful, cheerful and clearly just as excited as I was to get on the bikes and on the road. A great place to learn, ran by supportive and passionate bikers!
Fantastic experience: I attended a CBT at the weekend. This was my second time of taking it and what a refreshing experience I had compared to the previous one. Mark was brilliant, the whole day felt like a day trip out! I learnt so so much & would recommend this place 100%
Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of completing my CBT here with the fantastic help and guidance from Mark! Highly recommend, it was a brilliant experience and I look forward to booking my next stages with them soon. Cheers to Mark and Neil!
Fantastic experience: Renewed my CBT again and it's like catching up with old mates, they remember who you are, know what they're talking about and the 2 hour drive went by in the blink of an eye. Did the test with Mark, looking forward to doing my Das with them
Fantastic experience: As a first time rider i did my cbt training here. Mark was a great instructor, everything was explained well and he's very good at what he does. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you mark
Fantastic experience: My instructor Carl was amazing and patient. I would definitely recommend this place for everyone. A massive thank you.
Fantastic experience: I went for my CBT training there. It was best choice i had made! Carl was my instructor, a pinnacle of patience, he explained to me everything clearly and all in all, best instructor i had ever had, I was a bit slower to learn and ran out of time that day and Carl went above and beyond to teach me on later date the same week. Iwas about to quit few times, but Carl persevered and i got so much better, to my amazement and joy i got my own CBT certificate. Thank you for your. Thank you and your team for incredible work and honesty, definitely i will be coming for my DAS and other safety courses you might offer!
Fantastic experience: Had a brilliant experience doing my 125cc CBT with Mark. He was very friendly and patient and made me feel at ease on the bike in no time despite my nerves and bad weather. Neil was with another student at the time but we had a brief chat in between practical elements and he was very funny and engaging. Overall a brilliant atmosphere and would definitely recommend. Also booking online was easy and straightforward, clear instructions in the follow up email etc.. Thanks again chaps!
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT here with Neil. He was super easy to get along with and made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience: Past my CBT today with instructor Mark, it was a relaxed informative experience, absolutely recommended. Hopefully I will now start my Mod1 with Chichester motorcycle training. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Great day doing cbt with Neil , being a complete newbie was not an issue , Neil was very patient and adjusted his was of teaching to suit both myself and the other chap that day. Loved being out on the road where it all seemed to click together. Highly recommend them just gutted there’s such a wait to do full licence
Fantastic experience: Great, fantastic, and truly friendly and understanding. I cannot recommend this company and Neal as a trainer high enough. Thank you for everything We did it, you trained me to get me my full licence. Highly recomended.thankyou.
Fantastic experience: I passed another CBT with this company on my MT 125 and had mark as an instructor he was very friendly, well knowledge and we had a good laugh. I will definitely will be going back for my Mod 1 and 2 in the future.
Negative experience: I failed my CBT because of Mark. He’s a terrible instructor, keeps talking in my ear, and told me to look behind me when I am literally moving. £170 down the drain! I wish I could get my money back.
Hi Samuel, please see my reply to your other review. Kind regards, Ellie
Negative experience: These must be fake reviews? Mark was unprofessional and made me uncomfortable. I specified to them in advace I am autistic, and found it hard to understand them. He laughed and joked repeatedly about the fact I am quiet, then on the test he failed me because a range rover pulled out in front of me. I spent £170, and all I got from there is laughing at. Money well wasted. Wish i could at least got my money back. He told me I could retry the road part for free, but then told me I have to pay for it. I dont know about the other staff, but Mark was a terrible instructor and should be fired.
Hi Samuel, I'm very sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your training today. Definitely a lot we can learn from, and as a parent to 2 autistic children I'm very saddened that you felt like you were laughed at. However, Mark was under examination from our DVSA examiner and she deemed it unsafe to continue training, so this must be adhered to. It would be 100% free of charge for you to come back and retake the road ride, if you would like to go ahead with this I can book you in again, with a different instructor if you would prefer. Please do get in touch. Kind regards, Ellie
Fantastic experience: Just had the best day out completing my CBT with Mark. Made us feel totally relaxed, confident and in control at all times. All great fun at the test centre and a nice ride out in the sunshine, afterwards, what's not to like?
Fantastic experience: Top Service. From CBT to Full Licence done in 5 months with Mark and Niel. Thanks guys.
Fantastic experience: Really welcoming experience doing CBT, Mark is a great instructor, friendly and knowledgeable, had a really good time.
Fantastic experience: Had a great day. Excellent gear and excellent instructor Mark. Smashing!!!!
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Mark at CMT, what a great organisation! Very informative and fun too. Mark was an excellent instructor, he’s clearly a very experienced keen motorcyclist and this shows in his passion for teaching you. Very much teach you to ride not just pass and most importantly how to stay safe on the roads. I am now looking to do my Mod 1 and 2 training with them.
Fantastic experience: From the CBT with Mark on day one through to completing the full license with Neil, everything was professionally run and enormous fun. What a great training school with extremely competent instructors. Special thanks to Ellie for organising it all privately with my wife. Was a total surprise. Many thanks to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Done my CBT and DAS with CMT and I could not have asked for a better experience. Both Neil and Mark are legends. Friendly and excellent instructors, they had me sail through all aspects of motorcycle training. Will 100% be sending my partner here when she decides to take the plunge. If you are thinking about taking any kind of training you have to do it here, you will not be dissapointed! One of the best experiences I have ever had and I am sad in a way its over. Although I am now on the road thanks to CMT.
Fantastic experience: These guys are the best in the area. Friendly, accommodating and professional. The training is top-notch and thoroughly enjoyable - book them!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved it! Very positive attitude, very clear and great training. Will be booking direct access as soon as I’m ready.
Fantastic experience: Really lovely, friendly people. Ellie was a pleasure to book my Cbt with. And Neil was great fun, patient and encouraging throughout the day. The headsets allowed us to all communicate whilst we were out for two hours on the road which really helped.
Fantastic experience: Despite having a rocky start during my CBT (that's more to do with my learning style than the instruction), I cannot fault these guys one bit. From the initial chat with Ellie on the phone (and subsequent natters), the info provided, the 1:1 sessions with Neill, even accessing Ian for buying bikes... these guys have gone ABOVE AND BEYOND in their service to get me on the road! After dropping me and my new bike off today, I felt confident to go straight back out for my FIRST SOLO RIDE!!!! My journey here is not done as I continue to develop my riding... however, I'm so glad my journey is with these guys. As I pootle along with a goal to get my DAS completed in the next year or two, I feel safe in the knowledge that I can check in, book more sessions, have a chat and generally have a safe space to grow/learn and develop. Thank you again (and thanks in advance for the amount I'll be bothering you all in the months/years ahead!!) If you are thinking of starting riding/having a refresher/more advanced training, I would recommend 100%.
Fantastic experience: I would have no hesitation in recommending them the service l received from all the staff was outstanding they provided support encouragement and understanding if you are looking for motorcycle training then look no further than the Chichester motorcycle training.
Fantastic experience: Relaxed and friendly. CBT and then DAS completed, all down to excellent tuition from Neil.
Fantastic experience: Neil is a very experienced and friendly instructor. I greatly enjoyed my 2 hour refresher course today and felt always safe on the road with him. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant Neil was a good instructor passed my mod 1 and 2to day absolutely a good training school if you are interested in doing any Motor bike training these are the guys to see highly recommended ACE
Fantastic experience: can’t recommend CMT enough the booking process is very simple and Ellie is great answering all and any questions. When my CBT day arrived I knew what I was doing and where I was going thanks to their highly informative emails detailing what you need to do and handy reminder texts. Come CBT time - I was made to feel very welcome and at ease and each mod was handled professionally and explained fully. Neill has fantastic teaching approach and made me feel at ease and settled my nerves. I really enjoyed the day and will definitely go back to do my other mods I felt comfortable and safe both with doing the skills and with the current situation covid wise as they are very covid compliant too Thank you Ellie and Neill for all your help - 10/10
Fantastic experience: A thoroughly enjoyable day. Neil was a fantastic instructor, very knowledgeable and made the day really fun. Thank you!
Negative experience: I don't recommend Carl, he was just shouting at me. He doesn't have patience with people.
Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT here however I did not feel comfortable going out on the road on that day since this was the first time I had ever ridden a motorcycle, my instructor - Ian and Neill were brilliant and more than understanding, they offered me to practice a little longer and then go out on the road another day free of charge, which was incredibly considerate and generous of them. The team as a whole were friendly, they were professional but you could still banter and not feel like it was a day back at school. An excellent service from excellent people.
Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic day with Carl on Monday for my CBT. Friendly atmosphere and the instructors provided lots of information before hitting the road. Lots of useful feedback when we proceeded to the on road riding element. Only pity was the weather although we were supplied with waterproofs which made life drier!
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT last Thurs with Ian,really nice bloke,chilled out, corrects you as you need it without making it stressful, and up for a laugh along the way(in fact all the instructors were really friendly and happy to answer any questions).excellent morning practicing in plenty of space, the "classroom" time gave loads of info but again was kept chatty and light with all questions talked about and answered so everyone felt Confident. Then a nice couple of hours riding the more twisty and quiet Chichester roads,before onto the busier bits. Fun and friendly, Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: OUTSTANDING! First off, from the moment I made the phone call, the service could not have been any better. I am so glad I chose this company to take my CBT. The trainers, Ian and Karl were brilliant! Super supportive and really in depth with their training, I felt at ease from the moment I arrived! The guys were funny, informative, encouraging and constructive! I would say to anyone looking for a CBT or full bike licence training, this is the place to go! What a delight it was, and no doubt I’ll be returning in the future.
Fantastic experience: Really great place to learn and get assessed. Huge training area allows you to really get to know your bike before hitting the road. Instructors are fantastic teachers and really friendly. Couldn't recommend anymore.
Fantastic experience: Wouldn't go anywhere else than here for your CBT. Very knowledgeable and understanding when it comes to you as an individual! Felt at ease from the first 5 mins I got chatting to the instructor. Worth every penny!
Fantastic experience: Big thank you to Karl for taking me through my CBT today. His patient, calm manner helped me overcome my initial nerves! I feel reassured that I have the necessary skills to safely ride a motorbike and will definitely be booking any further training I need with him or Neil.
Fantastic experience: Both Neil and Ian were a pleasure to train with. lots of fun and a right laugh along with highway code knowledge, bike care and safe riding. Always a pleasure to train with these guys.
Thanks Lorna it was, as always a pleasure to see you again :)
Fantastic experience: Neil is a brilliant instructor and I had a great day training and taking my CBT. I’ve never ridden before but left the training centre feeling confident and excited to get on the roads. I would 100% recommend this training, and will be back in 2 years to update my CBT.
Fantastic experience: As I'm a key worker I was able to take my basic cbt here very informative and knowledgeable guy and very patient waits until your happy with each part of the course I would certainly take my test here again and deffently recommend this guy to anyone thinking of taking there CBT motercycle test
Fantastic experience: Neil was amazing at Helping me gain my CBT, I have anxiety but he was incredibly patient and attentive, I would highly recommend!

Thanks Jess I had a great day too! well done.
Fantastic experience: I have used Chichester motorcycle training for all my motorbike training from doing my cbt right through to my full das training. I am now on the road riding my bike an achievement I had long dreamed about. Neil my instructor was there every step of the way guiding me through the whole process. His patience and guidance and knowledge came with his will to want me to succeed in gaining my full licence in which I feel thankful. This company is there to help you succeed and want you to achieve I would highly recommend you give them a go and enjoy the trip I know I did.
Fantastic experience: Neil is a great trainer and exactly the type of person I would want training me or my family cheers again !
Fantastic experience: you will not be disappointed with choosing this company to get you through your motorcycle training. I have used a number of different trainers over the years to refresh my CBT and this is the first time at Chichester motorcycle training and I can honestly say it was the most enjoyable and fun filled day, my instructor and owner of the company has a very good sense of humour and has given me the confidence after many years of riding a smaller size bike to progress into my bigger bike licence, which has always been on my agenda but never felt I could pass. very professional and friendly company and a good selection of bikes to learn on. cant wait to start my big bike licence and to have the support and professionalism whilst having fun.
Fantastic experience: Exalant support that you need good working bikes and all round friendly people
Fantastic experience: What a fab place to learn how to ride - for first timers [my son] and old gals like me! We had a warm welcome from our instructor. He clearly: Cares about his pupils Delivers clear and concise instructions Delivers information in different ways - until the "penny" drops! Does not rush ahead like other instructors that i have known over the years. I would recommend this centre to anyone, no matter their age or ability.
Thanks for the glowing review jools. We enjoyed our day with Connor.
