Northern Route

Fantastic experience: Absolutely a diamond instructor , Andy has been amazing through everything so far , im not a confident rider and have been struggling getting over the fear of the bike but Andy has been nothing but patient and wonderful at working at my pace and teaching me everything I need to to be a safe and confident rider , I havnt passed yet but I am taking it at my pace as I am a very nervous person or should I say was thanks to Andy I am not anymore and I feel absolutely overjoyed with the progress we are making ,it is not a race it is getting you to be safe on the roads and confident on a bike and he really does that and with a great few jokes in-between I can't recommend him enough .

Fantastic experience: Did my CBT with Andy, very knowledgeable guy and a nice day out on his hire bike. He puts a big emphasis on safe riding and is straightforward and to the point. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get out on the road.

Fantastic experience: Did my cbt here it was spot on

Fantastic experience: After having a bad experience with a local instructor I made the decision to travel out to Kendal and do my CBT with Andy at Northern Route. Having previously never had any experience on a geared bike aside from the poor "training" from previous, Andy was a gem. He was great at getting me up to speed, correcting my mistakes and providing feedback and guidance instead of just telling me that I'm "doing it wrong". Andy made sure I was comfortable with all maneuvers and exercises and let me keep repeating until I was more than happy to move on. Which in my opinion, is exactly what should be occuring during BASIC training. We had a good laugh the whole day but were able to get serious on the points that matter and ensure I was safe enough to continue learning on my own. I will absolutely be back next year to do my DAS with Northern Route and would suggest anyone I know to go to them for their CBTs. I had a great deal of fun the whole day and was able to leave with my DL196 and begin my 2 wheeled journey properly.

Negative experience: Paid for my sons CBT about 4 month ago. Still waiting due to no shows or cancelled appointments. Has never returned a phone message and the only way I’ve been able to contact the owner is by using a friends phone so he didn’t recognise the number. Now going to have to go to trading standards to get a refund. Please be very careful if using northern route.
