Beacon Motorcycle Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I've been doing cbt s every 2 years. but finally decided get a full licence steve a great instructor highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Finished my CBT with Beacon today. Steve is a great instructor and will help you through the whole thing, even if you are like me and have 2 brain cells that fight for second place Will be booking a DAS with him next year once I have more experience.
Fantastic experience: Good place to learn, great instructor,I done my mod1/mod2 here.my daughter just did her CBT here and was very nervous,Steve was very patient and help her relax. Thanks Steve
Fantastic experience: I’m so so happy. I always dream about riding motorbike but I’ve never believe I can do it due to my health. But one day I went with my son and meet Steve. I’ve booked my CBT with him and that’s how it started. Steve was very strict but thanks to it, he teach me all the rules and how to become a good driver. He was so patient. He cares about me and my health. He never give up. Thanks to Steve I’ve passed my MOD1 and MOD2 at first try. I was so scared today but Steve helped me on the way to the test centre. During the whole way he explained me the rules , remind me every bits. He also asked about my wellbeing many times. He helped me so much. And when I passed my MOD2 he was so happy- so do I. So, if you’ve ever think about making your dream come true- don’t waste your time in searching on internet but just trust Steve as I did it and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Steve as the best instructor. Thank you Steve from all my ❤️You’ve never doubt on my skills and you’ve looked after me like I’ll be your family. By the way, the next person you will need to train will be my daughter
Fantastic experience: Steve is a diamond (a rough diamond), but he is calm, clear and patient. I really don't think I would have passed with out his confidence and tutorials. Thanks again.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Steve. Brilliant instructor and his method of teaching really work. Would highly recommend. Passed Mod 1 and Mod 2 first time with Steve
Negative experience: Really dissappointed! When I took my CBT it was the first time I had ever got on a bike, I was really excited but very nervous. After the morning training I was still a little nervous, I discussed this with Steve and I agreed to come back another day as they offer the second day half price and Steve confirmed this. I booked my second day but the day before Steve called to rearrange. No problem at all! The new date was set but my family came down with covid so I needed to rearrange. Since then I have left mutilple messages via whatsapp and voicemails. I have also popped in to speak with steve and sat waiting an hour for him but nothing. I never got the second day half price and now will need to look elsewhere. I am gutted as I think if I had been brave enough I would of been fine on the road and would of passed. Absoutely gutted as also now will need to pay a whole day again elsewhere. Personally I would go elsewhere if your a first timer.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and on point with lessons . Passed first time mod 1 and 2 due to good training . Thank you
Fantastic experience: Had a great time with Steve learning how to ride, all moved really quickly and got me from a total novice to having my full bike license all writhing a couple months, can’t thank him enough for getting me through it, highly recommend if your looking to get in a bike!!,,thanks again Steve
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience at Beacon with Steve. I had some experience riding from overseas but had a lot of bad habits. Steve managed to set me on the right path and got me through the whole process of getting my full license. Highly recommend Beacon if you are looking to start riding.
Fantastic experience: Best place to go. CBT was made easy. Good lessons for the A2 and when the time comes I'll be going back to do my full category a licence. Steve is an excellent teacher and I can't recommend here enough
Fantastic experience: Did my CBT and DAS at Beacon, excellent training and responsive.
Fantastic experience: The Shteveeeeee passed with flying colours. Go Shteve.
Fantastic experience: BEST Trainer around, i been learning with Steve since my CBT right up until I passed my Mod 2, and you couldn’t find someone more qualified. Down to earth, always gives great advice, let’s you know honestly where you’re at all times, good sense of humour. Honestly the Best Trainer, I would recommend any one to learn with Steve at Beacon, because he will prep you properly to pass. Thanks again Steve.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely delighted with my experience at Beacon Motorcycle Training. Successfully passing my A2 Licence was a breeze thanks to Steve's exceptional guidance. From day one, he exhibited the utmost professionalism, patience, and expert knowledge, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. His teaching methods are effective, tailored to individual needs, and focused on ensuring you become a safe and confident rider. I couldn't recommend Steve and the Beacon Motorcycle Training center highly enough. If you're looking to get your motorcycle licence, this is undoubtedly the place to go.
Fantastic experience: Just done my ctp with Steve!!! Fantastic instructor so knowledgeable helpful great big thanks
Fantastic experience: If your going to take your bike test then this is the place to do it absolutely brilliant made very easy and enjoyable thank you
Fantastic experience: Done my CBT, Mod 1 & 2 for A2 with Steve and passed all first time thanks to him. He’s strict but good, making me a very confident rider and I’m so chuffed with the results. I was originally looking at intensive courses for the tests but it didn’t make any sense financially or practically as I have had riding experience of 10 months with my CBT. It has cost me over half the cost going with Steve and I’m so happy I choose him to help & instruct me, he’s a great rider and tutor so you’re in great hands with him! I will definitely be going back to him for my full A license.
Fantastic experience: Very informative fun day. Leaned the basics required to head on to the road. Even though I had an accident (my fault), Steve was patient, caring and willing to allow me to continue. I can understand why he smokes like a Victorian chimney! I’ll be back to take the full test within the year.
Fantastic experience: Steve is a fantastic instructor, I started with zero experience of a geared bike to passing my mod 2 this week. Steve is very knowledgable and I cannot thank him enough
Fantastic experience: Passed today, Steve is a brilliant instructor and probably the most patient man iv met What a legend cheers steve
Fantastic experience: Steve is a brilliant instructor. I started having never ridden a bike and passed my Mod 1&2 first time a couple of months later. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Best instruction in the area. CBT through to full license. I passed my full motorcycle license first time with Steve. He took me through each stage of training, leading to safe and professional riding habits on the road. I would recommend Beacon Motorcycle Training to anyone wanting top level instruction.
Fantastic experience: Steve has been a great instructor - covered all the fundamentals of safety, gear, and advanced bike control. Without any bike experience Steve got me straight through from CBT to full Cat A with just a few hours intensive riding on the roads. Appreciated the flexibility to accommodate me at short notice around the few, and changing, DVSA test dates available over the summer... Passed first time. Thanks Steve!
Fantastic experience: Started with Steve at beacon training to do a direct access course in may cbt - theory test mod1 and today mod 2 so in under 3 months I can’t rate Steve highly enough his experience and wealth of knowledge is astonishing and without him I wouldn’t have pass my mod 1 or mod 2 so Thanku Steve and any one I’ come across in future who wants to learn I’m sending them to u many thanks - simon
Negative experience: I booked into CBT on 14/5/22, well in advance of the course on 7/6/22. A deposit was taken to confirm the booking and I was looking forward to the day. I did not receive a confirmatory email so called a couple of times - no answer. So then I texted their mobile - their stated preferred method of communication if the office phone is unanswered - and got no response….until the day before my booked CBT course saying they are on holiday and suggesting I call the office at the weekend or go online to book. Based on other reviews these people may be able to teach motorbike skills but their communication and organisation is appalling. My opinion…..go elsewhere to a company with organisation and communication as well as teaching expertise. Deeply disappointing
Fantastic experience: Excellent training centre. I have used them for my CBT and highly recommend them. Very professional and the CBT was done diligently.
Fantastic experience: Absolutly brilliant, Steve is first class in safety and teaching the results speak for them selves, it was enjoyable I felt safe and passed first time ,
Fantastic experience: Great people to learn with
Fantastic experience: Passed my cbt, mod1 and mod2 with one 2hour lesson. Haven’t been on a bike since I was 17 (now35) Steve just wanted to help me pass and didn’t waste time time just to get more money out of me. Highly recommend to anyone looking at learning.
Fantastic experience: Steve is an excellent instructor. made everything easy and relaxed. Help me pass all my tests first time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get their bike licence!
Fantastic experience: Did direct access to big bike. Nothing to complain about, really good instructor, bikes really easy to ride, go with confidence!
Fantastic experience: Just passed my mod 2 after only having my first lesson/CBT about a month and a half ago. Steve was an excellent instructor, telling you the exact areas your riding needs improvement and what you need to know to pass CBT/mod 1/mod 2. I owe Beacon my new lease of life
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Steve as a trainer - top bloke
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Beacon Riders and Steve for helping me pass my Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests first time. Couldn't recommend them more. Steve is a brilliant instructor, gives all the advice and guidance needed, while being friendly but also professional. Will be telling the brother in law to go to Beacon when he does his tests!!
Fantastic experience: Got my second CBT, really friendly and approachable attitude.
Fantastic experience: Thank you very much Beacon Riders, for getting my through all my tests, its been a fantastic experience and your a great teacher!! The pass rate is incredible and such a lovely bloke!! Keep safe and thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT and passed my full A Mod 1 and Mod 2 with Beacon. Steve is a genuinely friendly and honest instructor with plenty of advice and tips for riders of all abilities. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT, Mod1 and Mod2 with Steve with only 2 lessons and a ride to Mod2. Really nice bloke and makes you feel confident on the bike. I'd happily recommend.
Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT, Unrestricted Mod1 & Mod2 with Steve's excellent tuition, I highly recommend Beacon to anyone wanting to learn.
Fantastic experience: Very good instruction which made the test seem easier than expected.
Fantastic experience: I have just passed Mod2 and I can say only one thing Steve is amazing and learning with him is a blast!
Fantastic experience: Passed Mod 1 & 2 first time with Steve. Great instructor and highly recommended. Ride safe
Fantastic experience: Thumbs up to Beacon Riders & Steve. Amazing instructor who makes you feel at ease and is focused on getting you through your tests.
Fantastic experience: I am very pleased with the level of professionalism Beacon motorcycle training offers. Just passed my Mod 2 and couldn't be happier with the choice of instructors. Thank you for your help my friend ✌
Fantastic experience: Steve was absolutely amazing at the CBT course. He took the time to make sure I understood the importance of safety, and on the practical elements, the way he approached the training was very thorough. He tried different techniques where required to make sure I grasped each stage before moving on to the next parts. I must say that I have learned so much - the skills and experience that Steve demonstrated on this course is invaluable. I will be going back to Steve no doubt to take my training forward to the next stages. Many thanks Steve!
Fantastic experience: Beacon Motorcycle training are amazing, all staff are very helpful and friendly. Steve is a great bloke and very knowledgeable and explains things very well. Couldn’t be more helpful and understanding. I’ve done all my training with him and passed all the tests. Highly recommend this place for motorcycle training.
Fantastic experience: I have done all of my CBTs with Beacon Motorcycle Training and have now done my full Category A license with them. Steve has always been spot on with me and has helped me to finally get to where I wanted to be years ago. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to do anything with motorbikes to use these guys! Thanks for everything Steve
Fantastic experience: Very patient, helpful and friendly. Great teacher. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: 100% Recommend Beacon if you need that extra help to get you back on a bike. Passd my CBT today. Not ridden for 30 years. Trainer was patient, there were two of us oldies on the course today. Many valid points made and a skilled trainer. Will definitely use again for my A1 etc. Thanks guys.
Fantastic experience: Great training and they really do go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable and confident. 5 stars, highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to do a CBT. Very thorough, best training and advice.
Fantastic experience: Great experience! Steve was extremely useful as an instructor and nice to have a chat with, lots of fun. Strongly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Very honest doesn't try to rip you off. Thanks to Steve I passed my mod 1 and mod 2 would recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding training and outstanding value As a casual train-station scooter rider I have used Beacon for a number of years to refresh my CBT and always found them to be excellent. Well organised, humorous, practical and with a great insight into helping riders learn quickly and effectively without undue pressure. This year I decided to take my full motorcycle license and what a seamless and enjoyable process it was. Right from the quality of the instruction through to arranging and booking the test. They made the whole experience simple and straightforward. Steve has a comprehensive knowledge of all the local truest centres and is able to pay specific attention to the important areas and foibles with each. But, more importantly, under his instruction I feel far more confident, capable and safe as a rider than ever before. And as for value for money! Most centres charge about 50% more (and you have a sense that they are trying to up sell you on lessons). At Beacon my experience was the OPPOSITE - I was told that I didn’t need more lessons and to just book my test straight away. Outstanding! I can’t recommend highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience using Steve in my direct access. Amazing advice for my CBT, prepared me for my MOD 1 test as well as my MOD 2 with no prior riding experience. Passed today and would recommend beacon riders to any and everyone!!! If you have any hesitation whatsoever, go along and book your CBT for a good laugh and a great learning experience. You won’t regret it.
Fantastic experience: Moved to beacon motorcycle training, Steve was fantastic! I passed my module 1 & 2 first time due to his training. Strongly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great service for A CBT. Friendly, honest and accommodating. Thanks
Fantastic experience: I went through the whole process from CBT to mod 2 test with Steve. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get their licence. Very knowledgeable and down to earth. I learnt a great deal and thoroughly enjoyed it all
Fantastic experience: Passed mod 1 & 2 first time thanks to Steve, great instructor with a lot of knowledge and experience. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get on a motorbike!
Fantastic experience: My first visit was back in 1990 when I done my first part of the bike test CBT. I spent a good part of the day with them driving around Bovingdon airfield before going onto the road, absolutely amazing, I visited today to pick up something for another relative, so pleased they are still going, definitely recommend, thank you.
Fantastic experience: Passed Mod 1 & 2 with no issues thanks to Steve. Training was fantastic, and I highly recommend Beacon. Their Mod 1 course was extremely useful for prepping, and something very few training schools offer.
Fantastic experience: I done my cbt Best experience ever there training was amazing amazing staff amazing work they do easy to find best place in hemel
Fantastic experience: Really thorough training gets you more than ready for module 1 and 2. I couldn't recommend highly enough. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and great reception! I Could not fault my experience with beacon riders and would strongly recommend any one who chooses to do any motorbike training with this organisation. I did a CBT and was taken out by Steve who was very patient and very honest and really boosted my riding skills. I honestly feel that I can go out on to the road now after my training and ride with pure confidence.
Fantastic experience: Don't hesitate! Get training with Steve and get that licence! Beacon Riders are superb, Steve is a fantastic instructor who is extremely experienced and a superb trainer. I respected Steve's honesty in telling me when I was ready for the tests. I couldn't have asked for better instructor or a better experience. Thanks Steve!

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Beacon 100%. After taking my CBT with them baack in 1999 I decided it was time to go for my Cat A. I re took my CBT in august 2018 and Passed my Mod 2 in February 2019 so in Just 6 months I went from having not ridden for years to having my full bike licence. I would like to thanks Steve for his unwavering patience and brilliant tuition. He keeps it fun and safe and the fact I just passed my MOD2 says it all! Thanks Beacon. Ben.
Fantastic experience: 5 stars for Steve and Beacon motorcycle training, done my motorcycle licence with them and I just can't recommend them enough; As others said, Steve is a professional, very patient instructor, he'll get you from no licence to A licence in no time, so Ride On and Keep safe!
Fantastic experience: I take my CBT there absolutely brilliant
Fantastic experience: Could not have had a better experience or a better outcome transitioning from my CBT to Cat A licence. Steve is a 1st class instructor and made lessons not only productive and progressive but thoroughly enjoyable as well. I would not hesitate in recommending Steve and Beacon Motorcycle Training.
Fantastic experience: Loved it
Fantastic experience: I did not expect i would have so much fun with the training. I learnt some new tricks useful with a manual bike. The instructor was very patient and relaxed. I would recommend it to everyone
Fantastic experience: Steve its a top guy Explained all in detail and made sure im ready to go on the road, also very funny guy ! 5 star +
Fantastic experience: I have never ridden a bike before but I managed to pass thanks to Steve. Great instructor, very patient.

He tailored the approach of the test to my needs and instantly recognised where I needed guidance and help. Due to his professional approach to his job I can happily say that I have passed my CBT test. When in stressy situations where I felt at unease, Steve was very comforting and encouraging towards me which gave me the reasurance and confidence on the road. Again, a huge thank you the team but a special thank you to Steve. Looking forward to seeing the Beacon Riders team again soon to do my A licence. Regards, Attila
Fantastic experience: Did my cbt there 2 years ago really nice guy , did my day course today and i would Highly recommend this place to new riders. Cant get any better.
Fantastic experience: Top school in Herts to learn riding a bike, great instructor
Fantastic experience: A huge and i mean a huge thanks to Steve, Mike and the rest of the team. After deciding to get back in the saddle after many years of thinking about it i contacted the guys a Beacon Riders. I had ridden bikes for many years i was not aware of the new rules and regulations on how to achieve a full licence, no troubles though the guys were on the ball. So CBT Booked with Steve up to their Bovingdon site on a 125 wow Steve showed me some great clutch and brake control which later on came invaluable. After a few hours of practice off and on the road back to their H.Q and i am pleased to say Passed the CBT first time. Next ride out with Mike for some evaluation again on the 125 pleased to say that Mike was happy for me to progress to a larger bike. A day off road at Bovingdon practising more brake and clutch control and utilising the Module 1 layout in readiness for the real thing, I was told i was ready but i felt one more session would ensure i myself was confident to take my Mode 1 test. Second lesson booked for Mode1 with Steve and a node of confidence at the end, advised to book the Mode1 asap which i did on a Sunday, its at this point i also decided to book Module 2 test on the Wednesday and wait for it order a new MT09 Tracer at the same time, no pressure then. Probably not the best time to book both as the weather was turning but hay. Mode1 booked for the Sunday early and i mean early, meet Steve at their H.Q a freezing cold morning and off we went, arrived hands frozen solid and a tad nervous i think Steve was as nervous as i was, great start and then a bo bo not a major but to be fair to the examiner he advised me to go again and think about what i was doing next, any way i did and passed without any further problems so hurdle one out of the way, now hurdle two which was only three days away, again meet Steve at their HQ Crack of dawn and it was raining and i mean torrential and a long ride to Uxbridge test centre both arrived soaking wet externally only. Got the intro and paper work out the way and now it was crunch time putting all that had been taught into practise 50 minutes later and back at the test centre test over the examiner marking his sheet in the distance, Steve looking through the glass saying well me shrugging my shoulders but confident, finally the examiner walked over and said pleased to say you have passed well what a moment that was imbedded in my brain for a long time and to say Steve was happy is an understatement. The ride back was great i did not care about the weather the spray from the cars and trucks i had passed. I think that the guys saved me lots of money on lessons i did not need and gave great advice from start to finish. So again a HUGE, HUGE Thanks and do yourself a favour a book your training with the guys here.
