Thanks Josh glad you enjoyed your course
Fantastic experience: Have just taken my DAS. Mod 1 and Mod 2, instructed by Ade Thomas. I can't recommend him enough. Excellent instructional knowledge and a great sense of humour. Cheers Ade, and Maria.
Thank you Alastair glad you your course with us

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience with Ade, top quality instructor with friendly and relaxed approach. Highly recommend them for any training! And thanks to Maria for being helpful and patient with all and any questions I had booking my DAS. 5 stars!
Thanks Ben - great weeks training and great result !
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic instructor. Having gone from never riding a bike before to passing both mod 1 and mod 2 first time in a short week, would highly recommend!
Thanks mate , well done !
Fantastic experience: Brilliant! No nonsense professional training. Passed mod 1 and 2, first time, having not been on a bike since I was 16 (nearly 30 years ago).
Passed first time and without any minor marks - well done you ! Glad you enjoyed your course
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my course here. The training is second to none, you learn how to effectively ride a motorcycle as opposed to how to pass your test. It's a mixture of off road manoeuvering training, on road riding and classroom theory all essential learning. I fully recommend this course to anyone thinking about it. Don't put it off
Thanks Simon !
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my experience with Alpha. Ade really pushes you and you end up a better rider because of it.
Great feedback Aaron thanks
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic training. Ade is a great teacher learnt so much within the course and managed to pass both my mod 1 and mod 2 test first time, now have a full unrestricted licence and couldn’t be happier. Despite one test being called of due to the weather he fitted me in fast would highly recommend to anyone looking to get there licence !
Thanks Kiean
Fantastic experience: My wife attended the free assessment service and I was present. The instructor was very informative and attentive. A very professional organisation, in my opinion.
Thank you for your positive feedback, it was lovely to meet you both today and hopefully we will see you both in the future
Fantastic experience: Passed my CBT with this trainer. Hopefully doing my full bike licence soon
Look forward to it !
Fantastic experience: After 40 years absence from biking Alpha got me back on two wheels. Great training and patience! From Ade. I'd highly recommend Alpha.
Fantastic experience: Three weeks ago i had never ridden a geared bike and now i have a full licence. I thought the training was excellent and whilst the instructor was tough and pushes you hard he does it for your own safety. If you listen to him and trust his knowledge you will progress. Thanks to all at Alpha Rider Training.
Thanks Graham
Fantastic experience: Alpha Rider Training it's a great place to do motorbike license and Ade trainer very nice person he will teach you to pass for the first time just listening what Ade seing, higly recommend. I pass Mod 1 and Mod 2 for the first time.,thanks for Ade. All the best Ade.
Thank you Piotr hope you are enjoying riding
Fantastic experience: A+ service throughout. Great people, great bikes, and fantastic atmosphere. You are made to feel welcome from day one, and for the duration of the training you become part of the family. It does not take long to assess your current riding level, and the knowledge and experience Ade has in order to get you to a capable standard is second to none. I would highly recommend this training provider.
️ welcome to the Alpha ‘family’
Fantastic experience: Good price for training involved. Lovely team, highly recommend.
Thankyou
Fantastic experience: Fantastic instructor, I would highly recommend Alpha rider to anyone, Whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider. I took my mod 1 and 2 with them and pass first go. Loved every minute with them.
Glad you enjoyed the course
Fantastic experience: I had a cbt with them, I received professional training ,from one of their instructor name ( Steve) is a great guy and trainer, I m satisfied overall from alpha motor cycle training ..
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic experience: I am really happy with the service that I received from Alpha Rider training, good information and absolutely fantastic teaching. If you do a course with Alpha Rider Training, listen to Adi, the information that he teaches you will not only help you pass your test but it will also keep you alive when riding on the road.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Will always recommend Alpha to anyone wanting motorbike training. I had a few years experience on a 125 but nothing major and passed both tests first time with no minor faults. While my riding was amazing (haha), most of the credit goes to our instructor Ade who helped me across the week to exceed passing standards. He's patient, very knowledgeable, a great laugh on the course and very professional at the same time. Alpha not only gets you to pass, but to pass with confidence in your ability to ride and be safe on the roads. The bikes they use are like no other - basically brand new Honda approved bikes. No rust buckets with failing parts like I've seen at others! Thanks Ade and Maria for everything. I'll be back to visit!
Thank you Ross - we look forward to seeing you soon
Fantastic experience: So far I've only had an assessment day but nice and freindly and off to a good start hopefully pass my test
Glad you enjoyed the assessment session, see you in a few weeks
Fantastic experience: Best training and best instructor!!!! Many thanks
Ahhhh thanks ramunas
Fantastic experience: Did my training and tests over 3 years ago with Ade. Brilliant instruction, passed both tests 1st time. They have nice new Honda training bikes now. Definitely recommend
Thanks Keil , they are amazing CB650R ‘s
Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Alpha Rider enough! Ade was brilliant throughout, brought a nice calming presence to the training which was great and made you feel really relaxed, but at the same time drilled the essentials you need to ride properly. Passed both tests first time despite my nerves and a couple if brain melts....thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to get a bike now!
Thanks Martin - really glad you enjoyed your week
Fantastic experience: At 52 years old I decided I would like to tour Europe on a motorcycle. Just one problem.......I didn't have a license. I discovered Alpha rider Training while taking my daughter to the Grantham Honda dealership to get her a bike so called them and loved what I heard so booked a direct access course. Brilliant! Passed MOD 1 and MOD 2 with a clean sheet.....no minors. Couldn't have done it without the fantastic guidance and training that Ade (Adrian) gave. Highly recommend.
Thank you Barry glad you enjoyed your course
Fantastic experience: Professional, informative & slick operation. Will highly recommend to friends and family.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Ade and Maria are the best highly recommended.
It was a pleasure, nice to meet you and help make the trip possible x
Fantastic experience: I recently passed both MOD 1 & MOD 2 with Alpha Rider with 0 minors, Ade is a down to earth character with a wicked sense of humour, the delivery of his lessons are to the point and tailors the way he instructs individuals so they can understand the process of whats happening on a motorcycle. Ade uses brand new Honda CB500F's & CB650r's so you will learn on brand new machines. I will be 100% sending everyone who wants their motorbike licence to Alpha Riding, Ade, thank you so much for your time & patience... I'm now on a Harley!
Wow thank you for a great review enjoy your Harley
Fantastic experience: What a FANTASTIC service, these people are great. Nothing was to much trouble and even took the time to move the schedule to accomadate my 16 year old daughters exams. The entire team were able to answer any of our questions and made learning a pleasure. Thank you. Peter and Shannon
Ahh thank you Peter , Shannon was a pleasure to teach and we are looking forward to seeing her next year to progress onto a 125cc bike
Fantastic experience: very good service nice and friendly would defiantly recommend this company to a friend
Thank you Brad
Fantastic experience: Best motorbike instructor... He his the man x...
Thanks Martin
Fantastic experience: I did my direct access 2-3 years ago now. The way Ade trained me has undoubtedly made me a better and safer rider. Incredibly grateful and would recommend to anyone looking to ride a bike safely and properly. Will probably be looking to do an advanced rider course with Alpha in the near future!
Thanks Joseph , we are really pleased you enjoyed your training and felt it improved your riding and made it safer look forward to seeing you soon
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend
thanks james
Fantastic experience: well worth it can't thank ade enough
Thank you Lyndon
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Rob to both experienced and inexperienced riders. I was an experienced rider with three big handicaps. I was use to riding on the right hand side of the road, not familier with riding in the UK and I was an experienced rider. I decide to engage Rob for his CBT and big bike course. After my first day of riding I was pretty depressed but Rob was able to identify my areas for improvement and worked to correct them. He takes you through the entire process including the testing center. I am happy to say that I did pass the tests on the first attempt and now hold a full motorcycle licence. Perhaps more importantly I am a much better and safer motorcyclist due to this course. Something I should have done when I first stared riding. So I will say this, if you want to become a better, safer motorcyclist and pass your test engage Rob. If you want someone to stroke your ego you may wish to look elsewhere. Me.....I wanted to pass.
Thanks
Fantastic experience: The last time I rode a bike was well over 35yrs ago but Ade and Ian had the patience of a saint and made me feel at ease and I would recomend Alpha rider Training to any body from a novice to somone that wants to up grade their licence .. Thanks again to you all ( nearly a year now since I passed my A licence and enjoying it every time I go out still have a big smile on my face )
keep smiling , hopefully we will see Karen this year ?
Fantastic experience: Ade and the team are incredible not only teaching how to control a bike, but also fantastic banter and a great brew when you can fit one in
Call in for a brew anytime mate
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend to anyone that is thinking of getting into biking. Great atmosphere, knowledgeable and patient instructors and of course Barry the bandit :) Keep up the good work!
Thanks LP ! Barry is waiting for his next pilot !
Fantastic experience: Legends.
Cheers will
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my training with Alpha,. Ade and Ian did a fantastic job. It was both fun and scary, their aim is to get you to a high safe standard of riding. I opted for the direct access, I made mistakes but also surprised myself at times. I can honestly say it was one of the best things I've ever done. I'm totally hooked now. They also give great advice on everything you might need to know regarding biking and stop at some great cafes . I would recommend them to anyone .
Thanks Sally , always smiling , kettles on when you are riding our way
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing people. Really really helped me out with both my tests. Boosted my confidence even after my "off" when I was then worried on corners. Would recommend to anyone planning to do there test.
Thanks Tanya , enjoy your riding pop in and say hello
Fantastic experience: Can't give anything but excellent feedback for the guys at Alpha. Ade really knows his stuff, he can alter the training on the fly for your skill level and he's a top guy to talk to about bikes or anything really :D Really competitive pricing and top quality training. Don't look anywhere else! (Check out their Facebook group to see more reviews)
Thanks Andy enjoy your bike !
