Apex Motorcycle Academy: Reviews
Fantastic experience: The Direct Access training with Steve at Apex Motorcycle Academy was more than I could have hoped for. If you are ready to learn and willing to listen, Steve can guide you through the Direct Access course in a way that makes you feel so comfortable on the brilliant and safe 650cc training bikes. I am 44 and I only had one day of experience on a 125cc, doing my CBT (unfortunately not with Steve), prior to the Direct Access course with Apex Motorcycle Academy, but after just two days training with Steve I felt so informed and relaxed going in to the Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests (both on the same day) that it gave me every chance of passing.... and pass I did! Because the training was so comprehensive, I felt totally comfortable riding, my Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade, 200 miles home from where I bought it, the day after passing my tests! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Steve. You really have facilitated a lifelong dream of mine!!!
Well thank you for taking the time to leave such a fabulous review Ian, it means a lot, and what a ride from 125cc to to Fireblade!!!
This is what really makes my day when I see the smiles people have when they fulfil a dream. This job can sometimes be difficult and the weather conditions awful, but it makes all the difference when folks are this pleased. Thanks again Ian have fun and stay safe.
Fantastic experience: I passed mod 1 and mod 2 first time with Steve. Couldn't have hoped for a better instructor, he's very calm and encouraging and the bikes he provides are great too. It was a very fun experience and although I was excited to have my license I was sad for it to be over! I don't believe there will be a better instructor out there
Wow, thank you for taking the time to leave such a glowing review Tayla. It was fun getting your test passes, especially as you put up with my weird sense of humour and making fun of your hopeless sense of direction without complaining!
Stop by the snack van (put it in your sat nav!) and show off your new bike when you get it, it will be lovely to see you. Take care, have fun and stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Completed my cbt with Steve today , I had no prior experience with a manual motorcycle. Steve took his time to explain and walk me through every detail that I needed to know . Very patient and polite through out, constant feed of information whilst on the road exercise and I was made to feel comfortable and relaxed. What a top bloke and great instructor. Highly recommend and I'll be in touch soon for my direct access
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice review Dave, it is always much appreciated and it was great to watch your progress and your grin develop as the day went on. Can't wait to take you on the next chapter.
Fantastic experience: Great experience doing both the CBT and A2 mod 1 and 2 with Steve. Started with no prior experience and got through great, would highly recommend
Thank you for taking the time to leave a nice review Cai, it means a lot and is appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience and got such good results. Have fun on your bike and stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Great instructor very helpful and patient, highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn or improve.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a nice review Connor. Have fun and ride safe out there.
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT and direct access with Steve at Apex Motorcycle Academy with almost no previous experience on a bike. I suffered quite badly with nerves, especially for my MOD 1 test, but Steve really helped build my confidence and got me through both tests easily. A big factor for me training with Steve, was the fact that he's cheaper than anyone else in the area by a fair amount. Which certainly proves that the cheapest option isnt always the worst option. I can't think of 1 criticism. A really patient professional and friendly instructor, I highly recommend giving him a call.
Wow, thank you very much for the glowing review Matt and I was so pleased for you with your double perfect performances passing both Mod 1 & 2 with no faults today. Enjoy your new bike when you get it and ride safe. See you out there.
Thanks, ...I'm off to buy a bigger helmet after that review!
Fantastic experience: I passed my test two years ago with Steve - a very patient and kind instructor, the school bikes are very kind to folk who are vertically challenged like myself! I definitely recommend Apex if you are looking to achieve your CBT and/or full license! Thanks to Steve and his patience I have got 8000 miles under my belt last season, Wales, IOM, Scotland, Ireland and Northen Ireland - this year I’ve done a track day at Anglesey and in a month I’m off to Spain & Portugal with my Ducati Monster ☀️️
Well the review took a while but it is still much appreciated and it great to see the adventures you are having - even if they do make me feel just a little jealous. Great photos you’ve posted. Thanks Jade.
Fantastic experience: Took my CBT today with Steve at Apex Motorcycle Academy. He’s a brilliant instructor, incredibly encouraging and really had a wealth of knowledge to share. Fantastic experience all round. Cheers Steve!

Fantastic experience: Passed my mod 1 and 2 with Steve over the last week, genuinely one of the nicest people I've ever met, really good trainer, his approach and techniques are perfect, it was a very laid back and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Couldn't recommend enough extremely happy. Thank you Steve, Diolch yn Fawr.

Thank you for the nice review Steve, glad you got your result within your time frame… no pressure eh? Enjoy your bike and safe riding mate.
Fantastic experience: Steve is a top bloke, very knowledgeable and easy to get on with. Did my DAS course with Steve, great pricing, training done on clean well maintained machines. He even bought us a bacon roll and a coffee every lunchtime which was a very kind gesture. Steve was very prompt with getting me a test date, no messing about or being put on a waiting list for cancellations. Will always recommend Apex motorcycle academy to others. Great service overall :)
Hey Sam, thanks for the great review, you should have kept quite about the bacon roll though :D! Enjoy your new bike and stay safe mate.
Fantastic experience: I never visited the place, but I did phone the owner to ask about my bike. He was very professional and clear, telling me what my best course of action was even if it meant me going elsewhere. The fact that he put me and my issues first made all the difference. If I do need to go for a CBT repeat or something, you can bet this will be my destination.
Wow, thank you Ciara! Not had a review for just giving advice so that was very kind of you.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant instructor, I would highly recommend Steve to anybody. First class tuition and great guy. Thanks for all your help. Mod 1 and 2 passed first time on the same day
Brilliant result passing both tests same day with no faults on either.
Thank you for the great review, enjoy your bike and safe riding Adam
Fantastic experience: First class instruction from an instructor that actually cares that you pass your test safely. Highly recommend this instructor. Started complete beginning Jan 9th and qualified fully march 17th, fault free on the mod 2 test. can’t thank Steve enough. Now riding a 750cc and loving every second i’m out on it!
Thank you for the great review Daz.
Superb test results, and a well deserved achievement AND you timed it just right for the nice weather. Enjoy your new bike and safe riding mate.

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Steve and I have to say he was absolutely amazing! Went through everything thoroughly, was unbelievably patient and a very good teacher. I would highly recommend using!
Hi Nadia,
Thank you for the nice review! I hope you have fun on your cool Honda Grom and ride safe.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Steve for all of you knowledge, patience and experience over that last few days helping me gain my motorcycle licence. If you want an instructor who makes you feel completly at home on the bike and gives you a really good understanding on the best way to operate the machine safely Steve's your man! Couldn't recommend him enough! thanks again mate.
Well thank you for the nice review Layton and what a great result today passing both tests and a fault free mod 2, especially as we nearly missed it all due to the incident on the A55. Enjoy your Harley and ride safe mate.
Fantastic experience: I honestly can't recommend Apex motorcycle academy enough! Steve is absolutely brilliant, he is patient and really knows his stuff! He's extremely easy to get on with and made me feel comfortable all the way from my CBT to my mod 1 and 2 full bike licence. Managed to get through it all first time. Thank you very much mate!
It was a pleasure Danny, great results. Enjoy your new bike and thank you for the kind review.
Fantastic experience: Steve really has to be the best trainer out there. Not only did I pass my mod 1 & 2 first time with him, but he has the most patiences in the world to deal with me and my craziness! He explains everything so well and stays so calm throughout. Not only did I enjoy every minute and laugh lots. But I feel like I've learnt from the best and know exactly what to do now. I would highly recommend Steve to everyone. Thank you for sharing all your biker knowledge with this new biker chic
Thank you for the glowing review Sophie. It was fun getting the results you wanted and worked hard and endured some pretty awful weather. I won’t comment on your craziness but will say I won’t forget you! Enjoy your new bike and stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Booked CBT for my husband with this fabulous company. Steve is so patient and easy going, he has been awesome dealing with all the questions before the cbt and was very patient, encouraging and clear during the cbt. The bikes were clean and maintained to a high standard. I highly recommend Apex Motorcycle academy the best company I spoke to out of all the local ones in Anglesey and Gwynedd, don't go anywhere else
I'm very pleased your husband enjoyed his day and you were both pleased enough to leave to leave the lovely review, it means a lot. Thank you and ride safe Steve.
Fantastic experience: As a complete, never ridden a motorbike novice I did my CBT with Steve. I went from a low confidence nervous rider to someone confident, relaxed and thanks to Steve and his patient and calm teaching a very happy new rider. Thanks Steve and may the force be with you.
Thank you Brian, it was a treat seeing you progress throughout the day and how well you were riding by the end. Enjoy your new bike and stay safe :)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic day out completing my CBT with Steve this week. Great instructor, knowledgeable, thorough, and quickly got me to a good level of confidence and safety. Super calm and encouraging, made the whole experience extremely smooth. Can’t wait to get on the road! Couldn't recommend Steve enough!
Thank you Laura , it was a great day apart from the changeable weather. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much and hope you get your new bike soon. Have fun and stay safe :)
Fantastic experience: Steve has all the knowledge and experience to get you through your tests. Explains and teaches everything very well, always calm and considerate. All bikes and equipment very well maintained. Great experience, great guy, highly recommended.
Cheers Kyle, thank you for the review and I'm glad you enjoyed your intense lessons and got the result you wanted within your timescale. Good luck with your next adventure too!
Fantastic experience: Friend and I did our CBT with Steve and were very impressed with his knowledge, approach and teaching style. The day seemed to fly and we progressed from nervy, wobbly novices to feeling confident enough to buy bikes and get out on our own to continue learning. We’d absolutely recommend Steve to anyone looking to learn to ride.
Thank you for the nice review and I'm glad you both enjoyed your day despite the weather! Have fun and stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Steve takes this process very seriously and ensures all customers get a high level of training. My own experience began from the CBT through to passing my Module 2 on the first go. His service is transparent and you will never be promised something you don't receive. Some sessions are shared but he will clarify this well in advance. The 1-to-1 sessions are fantastic and paced at your needs. His equipment is of a high standard with appropriate intercoms, jackets, gloves and helmets. The bikes available are meticulously cared for and you get the feeling of security from it all. I insisted on an additional day of practice prior to module 2 and Steve was reluctant to take my money as he felt I didn't need it. Fairness and morality are always a great sign. Value for money is certainly at the forefront of this service whilst also putting you at ease and getting you riding safely with confidence. I cannot recommend AMA enough and would gladly do the whole process again with Steve.
Thank you for the glowing review - I think I'll need to buy a larger sized helmet now!
I'm very pleased that you were happy with everything and got such good test passes first time, it was a pleasure from start to finish.
Enjoy your new bike and stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Apex Motorcycle Academy enough! Took the CBT test on Saturday with my instructor Steve. Friendly, safe and professional, put me at ease instantly. Having never ridden before, the day was enjoyable and interesting from start to finish - also the added bonus of a ride around anglesey in the sunshine :-)
Thank you for the nice recommendation. It was a pleasant day all round. See you soon hopefully for the next stage!
Fantastic experience: Great experience! Steve is the right guy to guide you well. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your kind recommendation - especially after the conditions you endured today. Stay safe.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic trainer, knowledgable and who delivered a well thought out course with plenty of content which ensures a trouble free pass with the skills to ride with confidence afterwards. Would highly recommend
The enthusiasm and attentiveness made it a pleasure, a great pupil and as a bonus even got me to the IoM TT :)
