Our comment from DrivingSchoolsTOP.co.uk about Dgridertraining:
A highly rated, student-centered motorcycle training school
DG Rider Training, based in the London, Bromley, Orpington, and South East regions, has established a strong reputation for delivering high-quality motorcycle instruction. Led by the well-regarded instructor Dave, the school focuses on a personalized approach that prioritizes the student's confidence and safety over simply passing a test. With overwhelmingly positive feedback from a large number of students, DG Rider Training is frequently described as a "no-nonsense" and professional yet friendly environment where learners feel at ease from day one.
Expert instruction and high success rates
The cornerstone of DG Rider Training's success is its lead instructor, Dave, who is consistently praised by students for his patience, extensive knowledge, and ability to explain complex maneuvers clearly. Reviews highlight his calm demeanor, which helps alleviate test anxiety, and his dedication to ensuring every student is truly road-ready. This teaching style has resulted in a high number of students passing both Module 1 and Module 2 on their first attempt. Many reviewers note that Dave’s guidance goes beyond the test, helping riders develop lifelong skills and safe riding habits.
Comprehensive courses and flexible scheduling
The school offers a wide range of training options tailored to different experience levels and goals. Services include:
- CBT (Compulsory Basic Training): Often available on Sundays to prepare students for full courses.
- Full Motorcycle License (DAS/A2/A): Comprehensive training covering both Module 1 (off-road maneuvers) and Module 2 (on-road test).
- Intensive Courses: Flexible scheduling allows students to complete training in as little as 3 to 5 days, with options to split the course into manageable segments.
- Upgrading Licenses: Support for riders looking to move from 125cc bikes to larger motorcycles or upgrading from A2 to full A license.
Well-maintained fleet and supportive policies
Students frequently commend the quality of the training motorcycles, which are described as comfortable, easy to handle, and excellently maintained. The fleet includes various bikes suitable for beginners and larger capacity machines for advanced training, with features like heated grips and gear indicators enhancing the learning experience. DG Rider Training also stands out for its supportive policies; the school offers free re-sits for Module 1 if a student fails and charges only for the retest fee and insurance for Module 2 failures, demonstrating a commitment to student success rather than just profit.
A community-focused learning experience
What truly sets DG Rider Training apart is the sense of community and personal connection. Instructors are known for their approachable nature, often sharing stories and tips that make lessons enjoyable. The school fosters a supportive network, with instructors frequently inviting past students on group rides and social outings, such as trips to Belgium. This holistic approach ensures that learning to ride is not just a transactional process but an engaging and rewarding experience that builds lasting confidence on the road.

Fantastic experience: I had the most fun and enjoyable experience learning from Dave, completing both Mod 1 and Mod 2 for my full bike licence. He booked me in with short notice and we got the whole thing done in 5 days. Dave's 650cc bikes are easy to handle and well maintained. He is so calm, friendly, clearly experienced and certainly knows his stuff! Dave is genuinely invested in each and everyone of his students. I couldn't recommend a better instructor. He even introduced me to some other riders so we can go for a ride out together.
