Women Only Motorcycle Training

Fantastic experience: Laura at Women Only Motorcycle Training is an exceptional trainer delivering high quality training and support to female bikers or potential bikers. Laura’s deservedly built an excellent reputation delivering training that is very clear, building confidence from the minute you get on a bike. She understands our brain fog, hot flushes, nerves, fatigue and works with students in shaping us to become competent and safe riders. I can’t wait to continue my training journey with her. Don’t delay, wherever you live in the UK, give her a call. It could change your biking life. BTW 5 stars aren’t enough! Sue - one ecstatic full motorbike license holder!

Fantastic experience: I came for a lesson with Laura following a rather bad CBT somewhere else, and I'm so glad I did. I was really nervous, but I had no need to be. Laura was welcoming, friendly and made sure my confidence and safety were top priority at all times. Her teaching style is clear, consistent and extremely patient. I really like how she took time time to correct small mistakes and fully consolidate a skill before moving onto the next thing. The whole day was so much fun, even in the rain! I arrived not sure I would be able to ride a motorbike at all, and just wanting to undo my bad experience and not let it get the better of me. I've left knowing how to confidently start, stop, change gears and keep myself safe. I'm even shopping for a motorbike and thinking about doing a full licence! If anyone is considering doing a CBT or doing more training after a less than ideal CBT experience, I can't recommend Laura highly enough. Especially if you're a bit on the small side, Laura has some smaller bikes which made such a difference. I learnt such a lot, gained so much confidence and can't wait to get back on a bike.

Fantastic experience: I first saw Laura on an Instagram post by women moto uk and then brought her lovely book from Amazon which reassured and confirmed for me that I did want to go and learn to ride. Laura is an amazing instructor and has got me through my CBT, Mod 1&Mod2! I was very nervous and anxious for getting onto a bike after so long and only being a pillion for many years. Laura reassured me and I completed the two and a half day CBT which I felt was tailored to me. Laura is very patient, knowledgeable. She talked through every process/skill and adapted explanations to make it stick and click all into place. I cannot recommend Laura enough and if your worried about getting started or nervous if riding is for you Laura’s taster session are great to try it out in a calm, safe and non judgmental area. You’ll have a great time and lots of laughs or like me many happy tears along the way.

Fantastic experience: I just completed my 2.5 day CBT with Laura at WOMT. Such an amazing experience. Laura has been an outstanding instructor: calm, patient, encouraging and talented! It was my third attempt at the CBT but first with her and the contrast with the experience I had the first two times (elsewhere, small car park, rushed through in one day, being swapped onto an automatic to get me through, none of which suited me) made it so worthwhile to drive to Redditch to be taught by her. We had plenty of space to practise off road and to embed the basics before building up to our road drive on the last day. I would totally recommend Laura to anyone looking to learn how to ride…not just how to get through a CBT, but to be safe and in control of a motorbike. Back for my training for my full licence next!!

Fantastic experience: Laura is brilliant! Having had one bad training experience after another and hating every minute of it, I was at the point of giving it all up and completely walking away……then, I found Laura and now I can’t sing her praises loud enough. She made everything click, when it didn’t feel right she was able to break it down, tweak my technique and offer great advice. Laura is patient, thorough, enthusiastic and very encouraging, she can tailor a training plan to suit all needs, from CBT to advance. If you are starting out or wanting to improve your riding or just gain some more experience, then Laura is the person to call, you won’t regret it. Do it now!

Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Laura and would 100% recommend women’s only motorcycle training to any ladies who are looking to start or improve their motorcycles training. Laura put me at ease the whole way through, I never once felt anxious or silly when making mistakes. I had never sat on a motorbike so opted for the 2 1/2 day cbt training, to have that extra time on the bike to go at a more relaxed pace was just what I needed, to not feel rushed and have the extra time to repeat steps that I felt less confident with (u turn!) . Laura then put a plan of mod 1 and mod 2 training days for me. I have just passed my mod 2 test and have left feeling a lot more confident and excited to go out on my bike.

Fantastic experience: Laura was a godsend to me! After taking my CBT with a local provider, I was left believing I could never ride a bike. My experience was terrible, I was rushed and spoken to like a child. I had also been paired up with two young men, one of whom was a motor cross rider and the other was simply retaking his CBT as it had run out. This only increased my anxiety, as i was being rushed along. Finding Laura completely changed my experience of learning to ride. She was gentle, patient, thoughtful and knowledgeable, as well as being an exceptional teacher! I would recommend Laura to anyone thinking about giving their CBT a go. The two and a half day package was great for me, and allowed me more time to process all the theory. Thank you so much Laura!

Fantastic experience: I decided to try Women Only Motorcycle Training for my DAS training after having a bad experience with my CBT at another school. From the start of my training Laura was so friendly, encouraging, patient and knowledgeable. One of the things I really valued was never feeling out of my depth or rushed – for someone with limited experience learning to ride can often feel quite overwhelming, but Laura took the time to break things down into manageable chunks, adapting to my needs and pace of learning, which made a huge difference for me. Overall, training with Laura has completely changed my experience of riding from something that made me fairly anxious to something I now really enjoy and look forward to. I cannot recommend Laura enough; my advice to anyone who is unsure about booking training is to give it a go – you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Laura Smith is simply the best - she is patient, intuitive, empathetic, knows when to encourage, and knows when to "re-group" :-) and gets to the bottom of the real issues that are in the way of progressing - fabulous first full day and a fair few psychological walls smashed down, and booked in for my next full day already - Ladies, don't think twice - just book up with Laura :-)

Fantastic experience: I did a 2 day CBT with Laura and couldn't recommend it highly enough. The women only aspect really appealed to me and it was so nice to be able to spend time with like minded women. Laura's patience and knowledge made the whole experience an absolute pleasure and I came away with a confidence that I never thought I could have, having previously completed a 1 day CBT where I had a bad experience. Doing the CBT over 2 days for me was a massive asset because it gave the time learn and solidify skills without rushing and with far less stress. Laura's approach has made me really look forward to my future in motorcycling and i'll be booking in for further training with her very soon.

Fantastic experience: So glad I chose to train with WOMT. Laura is fantastic and has really helped improve my ability and build confidence. Highly recommend her

Fantastic experience: My first phase of advanced training with Laura was fabulous. Laura gave advice and tips in a refreshingly relaxed style whilst her experience and professionalism shone through. I am now practising with a new founded enthusiasm and most importantly confidence thanks to Laura. I am very much looking forward to the next phase of training with her. I highly recommend Laura and WOMT.

Fantastic experience: I specifically went to Laura as I felt like she had more of a understanding of my worries and fears being a woman rider. Even though I live in London and had to travel and stay over night its was 100% worth while as I felt so comfortable and like I actually could complete my cbt without feeling silly. I'm quite short so it was great that they had a lowered bike for me to use, I will be travelling back to redditch again for my full licence, laura is lovely and her patience and understanding is something that you won't find anywhere else. Thank you so much as without this women's only service I know I never would have plucked up the courage to ride.

Fantastic experience: I first met Laura when my husband and I did a take control course through RMT and she was our instructor for the day. We both found her to be very friendly, easy to get along with, extremely knowledgeable and she put us at ease with her training style. I then went on an advanced training weekend to Snowdonia with Women Only Motorcycle Training, as it was an opportunity for me to get some further expert tuition with Laura and another student. The weekend was tailored to us and Laura delivered bespoke training during the weekend giving support and encouragement along the way. The weekend was superb, lots of fantastic roads, good stops for breaks and a lovely hotel to stay in.  I felt happier and more confident as a rider as everything clicked into place during that trip. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura and Women Only Motorcycle Training.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad to have found Laura, I had completed my CBT at a local training provider but still lacked confidence after having only ridden the rev n go for 1 day. I tried gaining my own experience on a scooter of my own but generally didn't learn enough riding skills in a one day CBT so was perhaps doing more harm than good! I sought out WOMT and made enquiries about the refresher courses or potentially retaking my CBT. Laura was absolutely fantastic at understanding the nature of the training I had/hadn't received to that point and was clear in that she could definitely help assess and work on the areas where my confidence lacked on the bike. I progressed really well to a point where my goal was to complete my full bike licence - until I fell pregnant so all things risky got put on hold! I would like to pick my training back up at some point and will definitely be using WOMT without a doubt.

Fantastic experience: I turned to Laura after having had a bad experience with one advanced motorbike group. Went on a 2 day weekend with one other female and wow what a fabulous weekend! Laura’s knowledge without a doubt was excellent. She put me at ease so much and I learnt lots that weekend. I went on to complete and pass my IAM Advanced Test and have also I’ve since been back for a refresher day with Laura as I’d had quite a gap in riding. I can honestly say without that weekend of training I wouldn’t have gone on to believe in myself.

Fantastic experience: I was completely new to motorcycling, I felt a little intimidated by the male instructor who I completed my CBT with. So I looked around and found Women Only Motorcycle Training. I went to meet Laura to see if I could reach the floor on a 600cc as I’m very short just about 5’. We got on from the off. I had a fair few lessons with her. She is very friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable. I wouldn’t use anyone else. Highly recommend her. All round lovely lady .

Fantastic experience: Laura Smith was recommended to me by a friend of mine, to train for my bike licence. From the start Laura put me at ease, she's friendly, considerate, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I always felt safe whilst training with her and in December 2019 at the age of 56, I passed my full test. Laura's training was at such a good standard, she was able to get the best out of me and I'll be forever grateful, as I was extremely nervous. Thanks Laura and RMT.

Fantastic experience: I've been fortunate enough to have received two days post test "Take Control" advanced training from Laura. She was brilliant, has a wealth of knowledge, and a great skill of putting across a huge amount of information without leaving you feeling overwhelmed and forgetting it all. I have, and will definitely continue to recommend Laura to anyone who rides, or is considering taking up two wheels, as one of the best instructors around. When my wife said she'd like to have a go on a bike Woman Only Motorcycle Training was my first, and only call and a taster session was arranged. Laura took my wife from having no experience of a bike, no experience of ever using a clutch as she doesn't drive, to riding around a car park, clutch control, braking and changing gears in no time.

Fantastic experience: The training Laura gives is First class, very knowledgeable and professional. Her knowledge is amazing. I've had 2 full days training with her and a training trip to France with RMT and have learned SO much about safe riding it's amazing. After 30yrs of riding I thought I was good and safe! Well I learnt more in those days with Laura than I can explain. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to have a day or more of advanced training with Laura or RMT..

Fantastic experience: Laura is a first-class trainer, she is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and professional. I cannot recommend her enough.
