Fantastic experience: Big thanks to Alan and Mike, excellent training and great bikes. First class experience all round. Passed my DAS after training with A1, would highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Great guys and best training school around
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend these guys if you are thinking of doing CBT or any motorbike training. I had never been on a bike in my life and from my first enquiry to passing my CBT last week I was looked after every step of the way. On my first CBT day I was struggling but my instructor had the patience of a saint and by the end of the day I was happily riding around the yard. I came back for a second CBT day and passed. They guys at A1 are happy to work at your pace and will not take you out onto the road unless they believe you will be safe but they will not hold you back to make more money out of you. They genuinely care about their students and wholeheartedly want riders to be safe on the road. I was ecstatic to pass and will definitely be back for lessons once I have bought my bike. Thanks guys x
Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT with the two Dave's Thursday 1st Aug. Excellent instructors and very patient. Looking forward to starting my DAS on Saturday.
Fantastic experience: A massive thankyou to all the instructors at A1 Rider Training. for helping me get my A2 motorbike license. Couldn't ask for a better service they are the best around.

Fantastic experience: Passed my Mod 2 today, thanks to Mike & Alan. 2 great lads that provide the very best of training. Can’t praise them enough. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the process.
Fantastic experience: I completed my CBT here with Mike. It was a really enjoyable day, and I think Mike does a great job of keeping you confident, recognising your strengths while helping you to get over any hurdles you encounter. I'll be getting lessons from these guys in preparation for my full A license.
Fantastic experience: Would like to thank Alan and Mike for their help, advice and support through my lessons. And getting me through my test first time. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I did my CBT today at a1. Tony was my instructor today. Couldn't possibly say a bad word against my experience at a1, professional, friendly and and most importantly patient. Keep up the good work lads and I will see you next year for my DAS. Today I passed my mod 2 with a1. During my training for mod 1 and 2 Mike was my instructor who was fantastic with 1 final lesson with Al. These guys are great at what they do and i couldn't be happier with the service. Explained things thoroughly and never made me take any lessons that I didn't need. Also special thanks to Al for showing me how to tighten the chain on my 125.
Fantastic experience: fantastic training school would highly recomend a1 to anyone instructors couldnt be more patient and accomerdating, and ill be putting a letter to the msn mentioning as such great job ann thanks tony ill deffo remember that indicator for our next run haha sean jones mesrsyside
Fantastic experience: Pass mod 1 and mod 2 first time couldent of done it without a1 rider training would recomend to any 1
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic! Arrived in the morning having never ridden a motorcycle in my life, and I have to say I was beyond nervous, but, within a short space of time under the excellent guidance of Nev my instructor for the day, I was soon riding a bike solo, totally brilliant :) Everything was covered in great detail, and at no point was I made to feel daft or inadequate if I wanted to go over a particular manoeuvre or bit of info again, in fact I felt so at ease and had such a laugh it stopped feeling like a lesson and test! By the end of the day, and the tuition on the road section came around...a section I was sure I wouldn't get to because of nerves and inexperience at the start of the day, far from being nervous, I couldn't wait to get out there and was genuinely quite sad I had to stop when the time was up! I can't recommend Alan, Nev and the team enough, had a thoroughly brilliant day and am looking forward to advancing my skills with them and getting into a bigger bike!
Fantastic experience: Very experienced instructors, they're patient and informative throughout.
Fantastic experience: Great guys who really know what they are doing, would recommend A1 to anybody wanting to ride a motorbike
Negative experience: An exercise in some kind of customer service!
Fantastic experience: Bunch of great guys with tonnes of knowledge. Would highly recommend to anyone
