North Coast Motorcycle Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I had a great deal from these guys on my new Shotgun 650 which I am delighted with. Very straightforward to deal with and friendly. I would recommend a visit, Alan Newquay
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Steve today (and passed ) and it was great from start to finish. Put at ease from the start, they have a great facility in the perimeter road of the airfield. Riding around the airfield ensured you were confident before going on the road for the first time. I’ve ridden off road but being able to build confidence like this was a great positive rather than just going in circles in a car park. Very knowledgeable and down to earth, happy to answer any questions, I was made to feel safe and at ease before heading out onto the road. I felt comfortable enough that it felt like just going for a ride. (After the first five minutes anyway ) He made sure we were in contact all the time and knew where to go. The route was a decent mix of typical rural Cornish roads and slightly bigger. All in all a fantastic day, will recommend far and wide! Will be booking in the future for direct access one day. Cheers
What a great review, thank you Alex! We're really glad you enjoyed your CBT and that it has given you the confidence to get out on the road - we look forward to having you back for Direct Access in the future!
Fantastic experience: Hi Chris and Steve. Many thanks for all your help. Can only recommend your company. There were so many people who passed their test with you. Even m an old boy(nearly 60) , i managed to pass after three attempts. What was my fault. Steve is very good at his job. We had a lot to laugh about several things. With an amasing training ground and views(what you shouln't look at when riding the bike) it was awsome. Good luck for the future and thanks again. Markus
Thank you so much Markus :-)
Fantastic experience: Steve was brilliant, informative, patient, kind, and distilled the most important information into the short time our group were together.
Thank you so much for your kind words Saskia, I know Steve will be really chuffed with your feedback
Fantastic experience: Passed my Mod1 and Mod2 a couple of weeks ago, thanks Steve. Good tuition and no nonsense and clear approach to the subject which was good. Great company would recommend.
Thank you very much for your lovely review Mark, we hope you enjoy your new big bike!
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT with Steve today and he was an absolute lad, very very good at explaining things, had great patience and some cracking stories too, Chris was great on the emails even fulfilling my request to be bumped forward if a space cleared up. The equipment provided was of good quality with every size imaginable (even upto my height at 6'5") and the bike fleet was even better I personally used a Honda PCX and the chap I was training with was on a Honda CB125R both great bikes, under Steve's guidance we both passed and I personally had a great time. Would highly recommend if you're in the area and want an A1/A2 license. With Steve's patience and expertise the only way you could fail your CBT there is if you simply weren't ready!!
What a lovely review, thank you Owen, we're really glad you enjoyed your CBT :-)
Fantastic experience: Imagine the best thing since slice bread...that is North Coast Motorcycle Training. The impeccable Chris and the Dynamic Steve. If you want and most assuredly need help (because I did!) along the way to getting your full licence come here. The communication, understanding and the jokes make it a triple threat that has you breathing a sigh of relief in the end. Thanks a million Steve for the support even when I turned left when you said right lool and thanks a million Chris for being Epic!
Thank you so much Tao - you were an absolute pleasure from start to finish! Ride safe and enjoy your new licence!
Fantastic experience: Took my Daughter there to do her CBT course,the guy there was very patient and knows his stuff. I have no problem recommending this place for those wishing to learn to ride a motorcycle. Oh my daughter passed.
Thank you very much Rickie, I'm glad your daughter enjoyed her CBT with us!
Positive experience: I completed my CBT and A2 license here a while ago. Steve is not the most friendly and a bit blunt. However, useful tips were given and some of my mistakes were pointed out. However, I did get the impression that he tried to cut training short when he could. Furthermore, all the bikes were in a rough condition, with snapped levers making important fine controls difficult.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review following your CBT and A2 course back in January & February, I'm sorry we didn't impress you enough on this occasion to leave us five stars as that is always our aim. We were glad we were able to help you achieve your A2 licence through and we very much hope you have been able to get out and enjoy your new big bike over the spring and summer!
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this company enough! Communication from Chris was fab and she kept me well informed, Steve was a great instructor, he was honest with me but patient too. I passed both my Mods 1st time with Steve, after taking my CBT at another school, I felt really uncomfortable with the comments made towards me (being a woman) throughout the whole thing. Didnt have this issue with Steve, he treated me and my fellow male student exactly the same, he is all about the training and making sure you're a safe rider. Would highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind words, it was a pleasure having you as a student, your hard work in training really showed in your first time passes on both mod 1 and mod 2 (and mod 2 with zero faults too!) Enjoy your new licence and look forward to seeing you on the road!
Fantastic experience: First class training . I went to gain slow riding skills and Steve managed to sort out my issues in a 2 hour session through tailoring the training to suit my lack of tiding skills here where other places have failed misserably. Can't rate this place high enough.
Thank you so much Marcia, I'm really glad you gained some skills and confidence in slow riding from your session this morning - Steve loves to teach slow riding so he will be really pleased with your review!
Fantastic experience: Went for a refresher 2 hr session . Great instructor can highly recommend them
Thank you so much Graham, we're glad you found your refresher session useful
Fantastic experience: I did a return to biking refresher session after finally deciding I wanted to ride again after 20 years. Steve was brilliant, got me straight out around the airfield then on to the roads. I loved it, so much that when I finished I went straight to the bike shop and bought the bike I wanted and so far I've loved racking up the miles on it! Both Steve and Chris are brilliant and I can't recommend them enough. If you're thinking about riding again or just starting to ride then these guys will get you where you want to be. Amazing. Many thanks.
Thank you so much for your kind words Daniel and it's so great to hear how much you're enjoying your new bike!
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Steve for your time this morning, time well spent, excellent, knowledgeable and tailored tuition, highly recommended to any level of experience, there's always something to learn!
Thank you so much for your kind words Deborah, we're really glad you enjoyed your session with Steve this morning and you're totally right, no matter how long you've been riding there's always something you can improve on! Ride safe and enjoy
Fantastic experience: This place is rare.. Let me explain. You have stunning views. A metal box in the middle of nowhere with no toilet and your surrounded by tyres and low flying aircraft. Steve is old school so dont be turning up just outta nappies wanting to kill yourself as this does happen. Be understanding he is doing this every day in all weathers. Listen observe and don't be a ego basher. His training is direct with a dash of humour along the way. I like Steve. His partner is proffesional in handling the emails. And his timekeeping is good. I will miss the banter. Oh and bmw or audi drivers are not welcome.
Thank you Simon, we're really glad you enjoyed your Direct Access course - we are certainly lucky to have a training ground in such a beautiful spot. Drivers of all makes of car are welcome to train with us though ;-). I will pass on your thanks to Steve, ride safe! :-)
Fantastic experience: Took my cbt with these guys Absolutely fantastic next to do my dad with them
Thank you so much Giles, we're very glad you enjoyed your CBT with us and we look forward to seeing your Dad soon :-)
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend north coast I did my CBT and direct access with them top service
Thank you so much Lewis and thank you for being such a chilled out, positive student - it has been a pleasure! Enjoy your new bike :-)
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much Steve. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience getting full bike licence.
You are most welcome Jake, we hope you enjoy your new licence!
Fantastic experience: A real joy, I couldn't recommend North Coast Motorcycle Training enough! As an off-road novice, I took their Intro to off-road course, and Steve was incredibly helpful and encouraging. My riding improved exponentially, and I feel a lot more confident on and off road. Had so much fun, in the most beautiful setting (we were lucky with the weather). Tom
Thank you so much Tom, we really appreciate your kind words and I know Steve enjoyed your intro to off-roading session as much as you did! We're certainly lucky with our facilities - on a sunny day there's nowhere nicer to be!
Fantastic experience: I can't rate Dave and North Coast highly enough. Fantastic company and staff. My nephew KW can be "testing" at the best of times. However, Dave kept it plain and simple and KW passed his CBT on first attempt. #Gassed I recommend North Coast to all. 100%
Thank you very much Claire, I will pass on your thanks to Steve and we both hope KW enjoys getting out on his moped.
Fantastic experience: Amazing journey getting my full licence with Steve and Chris. I wholeheartedly recommend these guys. Thank-you so much. The best motorcycling school around by far.
Thank you so much Andy, we have enjoyed every minute of helping you get your full bike licence, thank you for being such a lovely customer and we hope you enjoy that awesome new bike!
Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience... I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for all the help, support and encouragement from Steve and Chris. Right from my CBT through to my DAS the guys have been absolutely amazing. I've been riding around on 125cc bikes with cbt licences for many years and decided to take the plunge into a full licence and im really happy i did it with you guys. To pass first time was everything to me and I can't thank you both enough. I'm already wanting to come back to do the adventure off road riding as that's now the next step of my journey to have the adventure of riding around the world. Thank you so much for everything you both did to get me on the road with 2 wheels.
Thank you so much Ben, it’s been an absolute pleasure having you as a student and your first time mod 1 and 2 passes are a reflection of all the hard work you put in! We very much hope you enjoy your new licence and hope to see you again for some off-roading soon!
Fantastic experience: From start to finish this training school have been incredible for me.. communicating with Chris via email and the instructors Paul & Steve constantly filled me with confidence and made me into the rider I am now. I was so nervous to start off and they were so fantastic. I would highly recommend North Coast to anyone wanting to learn how to ride. Hands down the best training school in Cornwall.
Thank you so much Sarah, it really has been an absolute pleasure having you as a student! Enjoy that new bike :-)
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to learn from CBT to full bike license. I have really enjoyed my time training with North Coast. Special thanks to Steve for all the help (and patience). And thank you to Chris for sorting everything out in the background! Best place to train in Cornwall.
Thank you for taking the time to write such lovely comments George! It's been a pleasure having you as a student and massive congratulations on your mod 2 pass today. We very much hope you enjoy your new licence!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely second to non! I went from never riding a bike to passing my CBT 1st . Then onto my MOD 1 & MOD 2 both passed 1st time . Steve is so professional and patient. He fills you with confidence along with being honest. When ever I had a wobble moment ( and we all get them ) he would take me for a ride around the airfield to help me over come it . Very early on Steve told me I was ready for my CBT & MOD 1&2 But he respected the fact I wanted to train more with him . At the airfield you will be riding on gravel pot holes and when it rains it really rains up there , but it sets you for being a good rider repecting all condutions . So all in all if I had to do it all again it would be with Steve at Northcoast . Thank you Steve
Thank you so much for your kind words Joanne, you were an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout your training - committed, enthusiastic and fun - and you deserved every bit of your first time passes on mod 1 and mod 2! Ride safe and enjoy
Fantastic experience: Just did my CBT with this guys and it's the best experience I've had. Very relaxed environment and very welcoming. Would definitely go back for my DAS.
Thank you so much for your kind words Matt, we're so glad you enjoyed your CBT and it really does mean the world to us that you took the time to leave us such a lovely review! Ride safe and we look forward to seeing you again in the future
Negative experience: DONT WASTE YOUR TIME,MONEY OR EFFORT! Experienced a very unprofessional and obnoxious service from steve, im unsure why he was so rude and discriminative against me, it was quite upsetting to be honest! Telling me i shouldn't have passed the Second i passed my mod1 Training Bikes were knackered and full of faults, one actually died on me during training, leaving me sharing a bike with another trainee with brakes that werent even bedded in properly! ( luckily i completed my mod2 training and exam elswehere with flying colours) as i believe that if i was to have done it with northcoast i would have failed due to the poor training methods it is clear to me now why i should have listened to others when advised against this company. Not shocked at all that the company has the lowest pass rate around!! Wish i knew this before Hand!! Avoid like the plague
Firstly I just want to say how sorry I am that you feel discriminated against Jason as we aim to run an inclusive school where everyone is made to feel welcome. Unfortunately you came to your Direct Access course without the prerequisite experience on a 125cc - yes you may be 6'5, 22st with size 15 feet, but this would not have been an issue had you actually ridden between your CBT and DAS course (as we advise as a requirement when you book for the four day DAS course). The bike that "died on you" during training had a blown fork seal - the garage actually asked us if we'd had someone heavy doing emergency stops on it as they hadn't seen one blow like that before. We also had a tyre valve blow out on the bike you rode at your mod 1 test (again not a maintenance issue as we don't manufacture the tyres ourselves). Following this we decided not to continue on to do your mod 2 training and test - this was for both your own safety and the safety of other road users as there are much higher speeds involved during mod 2. Again we are most sorry if you felt discriminated against because of this but we will always put health and safety as our number one priority. The comment about our pass rate is completely unfounded, we certainly do not have "the lowest pass rate around" - you yourself passed your mod 1 test with us first time despite your lack of experience prior to starting the course which was down to the quality of our training - you certainly weren't able to pass a mod 1 test at the beginning of the day but you could following the day's training. I do feel your comments are libelous as well as untrue - you do not have access to pass rate figures for all the training schools in the area. Perhaps this comment has come from the rival training school you did your mod 2 with? If so I would like to point out that they also don't have access to our (or any other training school's) pass rate figures and maybe should focus on what they are doing themselves rather than spouting off untruths about other schools. Ultimately I am sorry you feel you had a bad experience with us, we tried to do everything we could to rectify this and you are certainly the exception rather than the rule.
Fantastic experience: Lovely training gently organised Beautiful airfields spot!
Thank you very much Simon, we're very pleased you enjoyed your training and our training ground is most certainly in a beautiful spot :-)
Fantastic experience: Great day with great people, it's always easier to learn when a bit of humor is on tap. Highly recommend these guys, professional, knowledgeable and they can make you laugh if that's what you want. Cheers Paul and Steve.
Thank you so much Glenn, we're really glad you had fun on your CBT as well as taking in the course content - definitely makes for a more enjoyable day!
Fantastic experience: I spent today doing the CBT with Paul and Steve. It was an enjoyable day. I liked the pace the training took, it was relaxed and fun, never dull even when learning about the Highway Code! Everything from the initial enquiry through to completing the training was well organised and enjoyable. Thank you Chris, Steve and Paul ☺️
Thank you so much Alice, we're so glad you enjoyed your CBT today, Steve actually commented when he got back what lovely students we had in today so I think you made the guys' day fun too! Ride safe and enjoy
Fantastic experience: Perfect instructor and so much patience, would recommend this team 100% I am still to complete my full bike license but I have every faith in Northcoast motorcycle training in getting me through ❤️❤️ Rae
Thank you so much Rae - it is a massive compliment for you to leave such a lovely review even before you've got your licence - it won't be much longer before you're out on your big bike for sure and we look forward to helping you get there!
Fantastic experience: Amazing service from booking to passing, a great team effort from everyone involved. Thanks guys
Thank you so much Dan, it's been great having you as a student!
Fantastic experience: What can i say, fantastic tuition , i had never ridden a motorbike before ,I had a one hour session with Steve, then I took my CBT the following week with Paul and Steve and loved every second of it. I have now passed my theory test and look forward to taking the DAS course with these great guys after getting some mileage behind me, also took my 15 year old son for a session he had a great time as was made to feel confident in what he was doing. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much Gary, we're really glad you and your son enjoyed your time with us and we look forward to having you back for DAS soon!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic! Thank you to Steve, Chris everyone, great support and now a proud fully licensed bike rider….
Congratulations on gaining your full bike licence with two first time passes on your mod 1 and mod 2, it has been a pleasure having you as a student and we hope you very much enjoy getting out and about with your new licence this Summer!
Fantastic experience: As usual well organised.
Thank you very much Sue
Fantastic experience: What an amazing service from start to finish. Very professional company with helpful supportive staff. Top rate experience with calm instructor.Cannot recommend this company enough.
Thank you so much Michelle, it has been a pleasure to deal with yourself and to have Tony as a student for mod 2 this week, we wish you both all the best for the future, ride safe and enjoy that new big bike Tony!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic, I would give more stars if it was possible. Steve and Dave had so much patience with me, I was a complete novice and they taught me how to ride a bike step by step and then through the CBT day as well. I started the first lesson chewing my lip and feeling a bit anxious but at the end of every lesson I was grinning from ear to ear and feeling very happy with my progress. For anyone who has ever wanted to try and is a little nervous as I was then I would highly recommend you give them a call and book a slot.
Thank you so much for your lovely review Jane, it has been an absolute pleasure seeing you grow in confidence and we look forward to having you back for your full licence when you're ready :-)
Fantastic experience: Very professional training, I would highly recommend.
Thank you very much Simon
Fantastic experience: I had never been on a bike before and the instructors made me feel at ease. It was a fantastic experience and would recommend to anyone!
Thank you so much Isobel, we're really pleased that you enjoyed your CBT course and hope you enjoy your bike this summer
Fantastic experience: Took my direct access training with North coast motorcycle training. Couldn't recommend them enough. Steve the instructor is very knowledgeable guy and the way he teaches you is really good. It was a pleasure to deal with you guys!
Thank you so much Tomas, it was an absolute pleasure having you as a student and we hope you enjoy your new licence
Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT with them , professional, informative, and supportive throughout . Couldn't recommended them enough.
Thank you so much Flint, we're really glad you enjoyed your CBT course and we hope you enjoy getting out on your bike this Summer
Fantastic experience: from a complete novice going into CBT then onto DAS everything was well communicated and nothing was too much trouble, passed everything first time which I put down to the good tuition (with a little patience on their side, they'd probably say a lot ), so a big thank you for everything. now to get out in the sun and enjoy the freedom! Highly recommend
Thank you so much for your kind words Mark, it was an absolute pleasure having you from your CBT all the way through to your mod 2 pass today. We hope you enjoy getting out on your bike for the Summer
Fantastic experience: Top guy, thank you so much for all the help, passed my mod2 1st attempt
Thank you Rafael, we hope you enjoy your new bike!
Fantastic experience: Took my cbt today at 57.Great service and location, the instructor put be at ease straight away would recommend to all
Thank you so much Dom, we're glad you enjoyed your CBT course today and we hope you enjoy your new bike!
Fantastic experience: Great set of instructors very thorough with but CBT and DAS training, had been though multiple CBT's with other training centres and came away from training with a greater knowledge of road safety and how to protect myself whilst riding. Also completed my A2 licence with brilliant instruction and training in all areas.
Thank you so much for your review, it has been an absolute pleasure training you and well done on passing both your tests first time. We hope you enjoy getting out on your Ninja!
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT on a 125cc with these guys! Having only ever ridden twist n go's I did a 2 hour pre-CBT lesson the weekend prior and starting from scratch was riding around like Steve Mcqueen (in my head ) in only 2 hours! Couldn't fault Chris as an instructor, Fantastic ability to inspire confidence in you whilst ever impressing the importance of safe and, what I now know to be, defensive riding. No such thing as a silly question or mistake and full, patient and insightful answers given everytime learnt a huge amount from Chris and left feeling confident on a solid foundation and am now happily cruising around on my beautiful little Honda cg! If you're thinking about getting into riding or want to give it a try, look no further! I will be back to do my Mod 1 ! ️️️
Thank you so much for your kind words, Chris is a great instructor and I'm glad he was able to help you get a great start to your riding career. Enjoy your CG - they are great little bikes - and we look forward to having you back for Direct Access
Fantastic experience: First class service. If you have any anxiety problems etc this is the team for you. I can not praise the team enough.
Thank you so much Adam :-)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic, calm, respectful and professional. Definitely recommend for CBT and direct access. Now loving my 500!
Thank you so much Chris, we hope you enjoy your full bike licence and getting out on your 500!
Fantastic experience: Had taken my CBT on the 20th July and passed great guys and very friendly was well set out and did Different things in and around cones Fig 8 Emergency stop and many other things to went out on the road with Steve went well with clear instructions thanks for all your training Chris and Steve great day thank you guys
Well done on passing your CBT Christopher, we're so glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: I would 100% recommend Steve, Chris and Adam to anybody wanting to find a quality driving instructor. Steve was so supportive, informative and patient - I really couldn't have asked for more. Completely worth every penny. I'm so pleased to have passed my test but sad that it means I won't be seeing the team anymore!
Thank you so much Greg, we will miss your fun and enthusiasm too! Enjoy that new bike when you get it :-)
Fantastic experience: Brilliant. Steve and Adam are great with all aspects of the coarse and Chris organises things so efficiently. Highly recommend. Fantastic unique location too.
Thank you for your kind words Kevin, it was a pleasure teaching you and we hope you're enjoying your new licence
Fantastic experience: The DAS was extremely hard work for me. Extra training needed from Steve and at home with husband. However, both Steve and Chris have been cool, calm and patient and sorted extra training and another test date, sharpish. Also thanks to Adam for lovely words of encouragement and a coffee, when I had had enough. Really enjoyed my CBT last year also. Fab team and thanks. Anne Archer.
Congratulations on passing your mod 2 test today Anne, you really did work hard and it showed in your excellent pass today. Thank you so much and enjoy your new licence
Fantastic experience: Amazing! I would and will recommend North Coast Motorcycle Training to anyone who wants motorcycle training. Steve was fantastic and gives you an incredible amount of confidence even if you feel like a rabbit in the headlights. They are professional and understanding and make you feel comfortable. I had an absolutely fantastic day on Saturday and can't thank you all enough! I will be back to finish what I started!!!
Thank you so much Amanda, we're so glad you enjoyed your CBT and look forward to having you back for DAS!
Fantastic experience: I finally got through my Mod 2 today thanks to Steve and Chris. It's been a real rollercoaster. Steve actually failed me on the CBT 6 months ago. It's a good job he did because I was definitely not ready to ride a 125 on the road. He has kept me alive. He converted my automatic bike experience to manual once I got through my cbt, trained me on DAS and got me through mod 1 and his minimalistic easy going approach has helped me combat my nemesis (confidence in myself!) and got me through my Mod 2 and riding a big bike legally with confidence today. Steve even let me ride his cb500 home!! Cant thank you guys enough!!!
Thank you for your kind words Faisel, your review has really made us smile , it's been a pleasure - enjoy your new licence
Fantastic experience: Passed my mod 1 last week monday first time. Only just gone and passed my mod 2 today. Very nice people. Training was really good. They are very Patient and calm. Thank you steve
Thanks Dan and well done on passing both your mod 1 and mod 2 test first time! We hope you enjoy your new licence.
Fantastic experience: An amazing service, Steve, Chris and Adam are all very professional and put real passion into helping every student pass. Will be renewing my CBT here next time for certain
Thank you so much Tom, we're glad you enjoyed your CBT course
Fantastic experience: I can't even put into words how absolutely amazing Steve and Chris are. From teaching me to ride a 125 in December, reassuring me, being patient and understanding of my severe anxiety and nerve issues, to seeing me through my mod 1 last week and mod 2 this week, they are the most wonderful training school you could wish for! I wouldn't think twice about sending my 3 daughters or my autistic son to learn to ride with them! If you want to learn to ride in a safe, friendly environment with someone who will encourage you, support you and look after you from start to finish, you need to book in with North Coast. Happiest lady alive right now. Thank you Steve and Chris x
Thank you so much Jane, you have been an absolute star pupil from start to finish - you did so well overcoming your nerves culminating in you passing both your mod 1 and mod 2 tests first time! Super proud- enjoy your new licence, no one deserves it more
Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend these guys any more. They really are amazing. I went on their DAS course. Great setup for learning all Mod 1 elements of the test. The layout is exactly the same as the one down at the test centre so by the time it comes to your test you feel so much more confident. Went out on some rides which made me realise how much I take living down in Cornwall for granted. They could always add motorbike tours to the business as Steve is so knowledgable and some of the areas we covered are breathtaking. A big Thank you to Chris for being so kind and supportive. I only wish I had done my CBT with them too!
Thank you so much for your kind words Connor, you did so well passing both your mod 1 and mod 2 tests first time! Enjoy life on two wheels
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed doing DAS with Steve and Chris. Steve is an excellent instructor and extremely knowledgeable. Everything was broken down into the key points and presented in a calm and relaxed style. Really helped put me at ease for both mod1 and mod2 tests. I would definitely go back again and would highly recommend! Thanks again
Thank you for your kind words Tom and congratulations on passing both your tests first time!
Fantastic experience: Steve and Chris make the whole process simple. I would have no hesitation in recommending North Coast Motorcycle Training. Good luck and thanks again.
Thank you Richard
Fantastic experience: Top class instructor! Took me from zero bike experience to confident rider in just one day!
Thanks James, we're glad you're enjoying life on two wheels
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructors, completed my CBT with them today. It was my first time (as i'm 16) riding a motorbike on the roads and the instructor made sure I was safe and controlled all the way through the course. I hope to visit North Coast Motorcyle Training again soon!
So glad you enjoyed the course Rudi, we look forward to having you back!
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing day doing my CBT training with Steve it was an absolute pleasure & i learnt an astonishing amount considering i've been driving for many years. I was extremely anxious leading up to the day but it was unwarranted & had a truly amazing day. Many many thanks!
Thank you for your kind words Ricky, I'm so glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT and DA with Steve a few months back. Overall an excellent experience. Steve is calm and approaches training in a logical way, breaking it down to the key points you need to know and remember. I chose North Coast training because I felt I would get the attention the larger companies would not afford and feel I definitely made the right choice. Cannot recommend them enough.
Thank you Dimitris, it was a pleasure training you
Fantastic experience: 5 stars to Steve and co. at North Coast for their help and training. I can't thank them all enough. I don't normally bother with reviews but as I chose North Coast Training based on the google reviews already online, I thought I should add my experience at the end of it. I actually checked out all the local instructors on google and found the North Coast reviews were all excellent, where as Damarell's (local dealer and training provider) was hit and miss. That was also my personal experience in the Damarells' shop where I enquired about a bike and was advised they do training as well. I found their staff generally unhelpful and rude. I've nipped into their shop a couple of times after this and had the same experience. I won't go back. So, that's why I searched for instructors and how I found North Coast Training. All the reviews were excellent. I did my CBT with Steve, the main instructor, and Adam, an additional instructor who does CBT training on their busier days. I was quite nervous getting on the bike first time if I'm honest. I'm 43 and originally did my CBT in my 20's in a busy city in rush hour traffic. I didn't really like the instructor and found it was all rushed and not thorough. After stalling a bike on a 3 lane roundabout in rush hour traffic it wasn't a great experience. It was a kick-start old bike and it wouldn't start. Wheeling a bike over 3 lanes of moving traffic isn't easy. Half way through my DAS course I quit. I just wasn't enjoying it and I wasn't comfortable on a 650 bike. I think it's been bugging me ever since if I'm honest and I finally decided I'm missing out on biking and need to have another crack at this. So, 20 years on and I'm 43 and I want to give my CBT a go to see if I love it or hate it. Well...I absolutely bloody loved it. From the first minute of my CBT on a 125 in first gear doing circles on the aerodrome; all the way through to passing my Mod 2 full test on the 650 and going home to hop on my brand new ninja. It was all great fun and stress free to be honest. Sure there are a few nerves running during your test but it wasn't too bad at all. That was purely down to how Steve, and Adam, teach. Particularly Steve as I've spent more time with him through my DAS course than with Adam. I only worked with Adam for half a day on the CBT but I also got on with him really well and thought his teaching was also spot on. I like the fact Steve is a really calm and relaxed guy and has lots of patience. It put me at ease right away. I also like the fact you get told enough information needed to learn a technique or skill at the time, and no more. It's so easy to be overloaded with info you can't take in at the time. It was pitched just right for me. I've had loads of instructors in sports as I've competed in different sports since I was 5. Some are good, some not so good. Steve and Adam are in the good section for sure. I passed the CBT, theory, Mod 1 and Mod 2 first time without any problems. I think that is testament to the training I got. It's been great fun along the way and I'd recommend anyone to use North Coast to learn to ride a bike and pass your test. They also gave me some top advice which made a massive difference for me....after passing your CBT, buy a cheap 125cc bike and ride it for at least 1000 miles before going for your full test/DAS course). I did 1600 miles over two months and it made a huge difference. I would have done my DAS sooner but Steve was so booked up well in advance. So I'd book in early to get the dates you want. Finally, a big shout out to Chris, who I presume is Steve's wife and does all the bookings etc. She was very helpful and friendly. Behind every great man is....... So...there we have it. This is why I don't write reviews - because I can't bloody shut up. I just wanted to give people some detailed info about my experience with North Coast Training. Biking's the source man. Change your life ! Swear to god !
Thank you so much Seb for your lovely and comprehensive review, it has been an absolutely pleasure to take you all the way through from your CBT to passing your full motorcycle licence tests. We hope you enjoy your new bike
Fantastic experience: Best place to go! Highly recommend this company to take your cbt/mod1/mod2 with or just having a lesson to refresh your riding skills. Steve is very patient and calm and explains everything clearly. Chris is very organised and quick to reply. All in all an excellent, professional team :-)
Thank you so much for your kind words Alice, it was a pleasure teaching you
Negative experience: Not impressed with the service at all. Steve was not forth coming. Been riding since i was 14 and he said that was a bad thing! Yes it may have been motocross but at least I'm not a total novice from the word go he said that did me no favours. Not very forth coming from there onwards. Booked with dameralls and totally different. My advice. It may take longer with dameralls but worth the wait. I paid £250 for what was a C.B.T and a failed test and as I put my foot down (althoughh my fault a guy did the same before me and passed!!) In my experience with dameralls although it may be a longer wait it's worth it money wise. Best of luck
Better a total novice with the right attitude than an experienced rider with the wrong one. Failed your mod 1 test twice, both times through not listening to your instructor's training, the examiner commented that your attitude needed improving before you were let out on the road. When you decided to go elsewhere we gave you a full refund for the part of the course you had not yet completed and wished you the best in your future riding career. Extremely disappointed with your review as it does not reflect at all the service you received but we are glad you did manage to pass with another school in the end, now that you have your licence please do think about your speed and be safe on the road.
Fantastic experience: Can't not thank Steve enough for his patience and help in getting me through my CBT. Quick friendly service from Chris also. Top class. Will definitely be back for my DAS.
Thank you so much Dave, enjoy your new Kawasaki and we look forward to seeing you back for DAS soon
Fantastic experience: Doing my CBT with Steve was such a good day, so informative and fun. Steve and Chris are very approachable, offering a friendly and professional service. Am so pleased I did my training there and would definitely recommend to anyone, at any level.
Thank you so much for your kind words Claire
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing experience! Excellent help and training! Very happy! Helped me pass everything first time! Wouldn’t of gone anywhere else! Highly recommend! :) also easy to communicate with Steve and Chris :) thanks!
Thank you James and congratulations on passing both your mod 1 and mod 2 tests first time, star pupil! Enjoy your new bike
Fantastic experience: Steve was a most pleasant and efficient instructor, he was easy to listen to and explained things very well. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor and everything that had to be covered was covered. It was such a contrast from my last experience of a CBT with a different training company, where I just sat there for most of the time as the instructor said I didn't need to complete certain sections of the training.
Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT yesterday and found NCMT's trainer totally professional: targeted the course to the skills of the candidates, coached and mentored as appropriate, had a safety-conscious but totally approachable demeanour. I'll definitely do any subsequent tests with them. I doubt anyone does it better.
Thank you so much Phil, I'm glad you enjoyed the day
Fantastic experience: Passed the mod 1 today.. Cheers steve, great instructor highly recommend to anyone.
Thanks Luke, congratulations on passing your mod 1 test first time and we look forward to seeing you for your mod 2!
Fantastic experience: Thankyou so much on getting me a pass on my A2 licence, really made it enjoyable and easy to learn! Couldn’t of asked for a better instructor!
Thank you Stephen, congratulations on passing both tests first time too!
Fantastic experience: Direct access training. I can highly recommend this superb team. Steve is a great instructor; passionate, patient, knowledgeable and good humoured. He has a very good understanding of what's required to pass the Motorcycle test and what the individual needs to concentrate on. Chris is on the admin side, she sorts out the training dates and slots for your test. Her organisation is superb and although we had difficult challenges with the weather, Chris dealt with everything professionally and with ease.
Thank you Simon, it was a pleasure to help you gain your full licence. Hopefully we'll get some better weather now for you to enjoy it! :-)
Fantastic experience: Top training by Steve! Took me through CBT and Direct access course. A very patient and relaxed instructor with a superbly tailored instructional package that was second to none. Would definitely recommend to people of all abilities!!
Thank you very much for your lovely comments :-)
Fantastic experience: I had a great day with Steve renewing my CBT. Good teacher and lovely route.
Thank you Anna, I'm glad you enjoyed the day :-)
Fantastic experience: Excellent training, at a very suitable location by an incredibly competent and professional instructor. I would highly recommend.
Thank you very much:-)
Fantastic experience: Thanks so much to Chris and Steve for helping me to get my full bike license. I didn't think it would be possible as I am only 5'2" and no other bike trainers in Cornwall would take me on. I struggled initially with the 650cc bike, but Steve was a calm and supportive trainer and helped me build my confidence. Chris not only gave me very welcome words of support but organised all the training and tests around my work commitments perfectly. Thanks guys - I'll bring my new bike round as soon as I pick it up!!
Thanks Allie, we hope you are enjoying your new bike!
Fantastic experience: With my CBT due to expire in 2/12, I asked NCMT for help in preparing for the unrestricted Direct Access test. Steve's (the instructors) calm and encouraging manner made the transition from a 125cc to a 650cc machine less of a challenge than I had anticipated, and the lessons were always informative and fun. The bikes were well maintained, the protective gear comfortable, and the Mod 1 training site rather special being situated at the end of the Perranporth Airfields principle runway, with fantastic views over the nearby cliffs. Administrative queries were always dealt with in a prompt and pleasant manner by Chris, who handles the administrative side, with care taken to fit the training and tests around my other commitments. Of course I am delighted to have passed, and would wholeheartedly recommend North Coast Motorcycle Training, for their care and expertise.
Thank you so much Steve, it was a pleasure to have you as a customer, enjoy your licence and your new bike :-)

Couldn't be more happy! Thanks again!
Thank you Mikey :-)
Fantastic experience: As an older man coming back into motorcycling after a long time without a motorbike I couldn't have picked a better company than North Coast. Steve was a pleasure to be with, very calm and organised and always with a positive comment which carries a lot more weight than any negative criticisms that some people tend to provide. The 'one to one' training suited me well as you get all the attention for yourself which makes for a more concentrated learning experience which in turn makes for a faster progression towards the end result. In the three days of training I learnt so much and it gave me the confidence to pass my Mod 1 and Mod 2 and now I have back the freedom that I have missed for so long. Thank you North Coast for providing a great service.
Thank you for your kind words Ken, it was a pleasure to help you gain your full license and we hope you enjoy your new motorbike!
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic day with North Coast Motorcycle Training. Great one to one tuition. Highly recommended!!
Thank you James, glad you enjoyed the day!
Fantastic experience: I resat my CBT - after it expired - at North Coast Motorcycle Training with Steve and had a fantastic day. I had only ridden my bike once in almost a year so I was nervous and unsure, but I was supported, reassured and praised throughout the day. I was given the right amount of attention and then time to practice on my own. I had a full learning experience... from carpark practice manuvers to classroom theory and safety, to riding along Northcliffs and through busy Redruth. I honestly can't rate Steve and Chris at North Coast Motorcycle Training highly enough. Thank you both! See you again for my Direct Access!
Thank you Katie, it was a pleasure to help you become a more confident rider, we look forward to seeing you for your Direct Access :-)
