Expert guidance from a seasoned instructor
Since 2004, Apex Motorcycle Training has been a trusted name in the Bramhall area of Stockport, delivering professional motorbike tuition that prioritises student safety and confidence. At the heart of the academy is its lead instructor, Dave, who combines years of riding experience with a clear, direct, and consistently fair teaching style. Students frequently note that his approach strikes the perfect balance between firmness and encouragement, ensuring every lesson remains structured yet relaxed. Whether addressing common mistakes or refining advanced techniques, his patience and ability to tailor feedback to individual needs have earned him numerous testimonials from learners at every stage of their journey.
Comprehensive licence preparation from CBT to full access
The academy covers the entire licensing pathway, making it a one-stop destination for prospective riders. Their curriculum is designed to build skills progressively, ensuring pupils are fully prepared for both theory and practical examinations. Key offerings include:
- Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) for beginners, complete with foundational safety and on-site practice.
- A1 and A2 licence preparation focused on controlled manoeuvres and road reading.
- Direct Access (Full A licence) courses for riders aged 24 or over with prior experience.
- MOD 1 and MOD 2 test preparation, emphasizing zero-fault riding techniques and exam-day readiness.
- Refresher and return-to-bike sessions tailored for long-term riders rebuilding their confidence.
This structured progression allows learners to advance at their own pace, with the academy accommodating busy schedules and providing flexible booking options to fit individual timetables.
Professional training grounds and well-maintained motorcycles
A major advantage of training with Apex is access to their spacious off-road training area, which provides a safe environment to master balance, clutch control, and low-speed handling before transitioning to public roads. The academy maintains a fleet of high-quality, meticulously serviced motorcycles that are comfortable to ride and suited to various licence categories. Instructors combine on-site drills with supervised road practice, covering essential topics such as hazard perception, emergency braking, and smooth gear changes. This hands-on methodology ensures that theoretical knowledge seamlessly translates into real-world riding competence.
Proven results and excellent value for money
Student feedback consistently highlights a high success rate, with many learners passing their practical exams at the first attempt and earning zero-fault certificates. The academy’s commitment to thorough preparation means that pupils leave the course with not only a valid licence but also the long-term habits required for safe road riding. Beyond instruction quality, competitive pricing and transparent fees are frequently praised, with learners noting that the training delivers outstanding value. The positive experience is further reinforced by many return customers who book refresher courses or recommend the academy to family members and friends. For anyone in Stockport seeking a reliable, professional, and student-focused motorcycle training provider, Apex Motorcycle Training stands out as a highly recommended choice.

Negative experience: I want you to get more confident. This is what I've heard during my few minutes conversation with Dave. After I said I had two accidents ony pushbike. I mean this is why they call them accidents? Because you don't plan them. During that conversation I had a feeling that regardless of what I say I will not have my lessons with him. He picked up phone in his van and said he doesn't have notepad with him... But this didn't stop him from saying he's booked until end of October. AT the end of conversation he was more interested in the fact he's got beer in his fridge than actually giving me chance to see how I'm doing. Before deciding he doesn't want to train me. I have went elsewhere. Passed my cbt first time. Was told about my mistakes and where I should focus. It's month now and I'm riding my 125 every day getting more and more confident. And that's thanks to different place i went. Place where they let me go regarding of my accidents and they saw that I can do it. This place? Avoid. Him as an instructor doesn't give you confidence. He lacks of it himself. Happy he denied my training. As I have found better place to go.
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my mod 2 today and now have my full A licence and it would not be possible without the guidance and support from Dave. There is not a bad word I can say about him, he has been so helpful and patient with both me and my brother to prepare us for our mod 1 and mod 2. He is a wizard when it comes to motorcycle training and I am so glad that we chose Dave to be our instructor. Both my brother and I hope to keep in touch in the future, thats if he hasnt had enough of us! Thanks Dave!
Fantastic experience: Dave is a fantastic instructor and I can highly recommend him for any things motorcycling related, from CBT to mod2 he’ll be able to give you the confidence and skills needed to start riding!
Fantastic experience: I’d recommend Apex CBT & motorbike training to everyone. A FULL days comprehensive training was received. The site for training before going out on the road is huge. The road training covers all aspects needed to give Dave the confidence to issue you with your CBT certificate. Just do what you’re told & instead of thinking you’re getting bogged down, it becomes a very pleasurable experience. Look forward to more training from Dave, for an extended full test & advanced training.
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT last weekend and as a complete novice I really appreciated Dave’s training. Great training bikes, huge off road training area and Dave was very clear and direct with his training. I’ll be sure to use Apex for my full licence when I’m ready
