I recently completed my A2 training with 1st Gear Motorcycle Training, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, the team were absolutely brilliant – friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Their teaching style made everything clear and easy to understand, and they offered great support throughout the entire experience.

The training grounds were excellent, giving plenty of space to practise safely and build confidence. The equipment provided was top-notch and well-maintained, which made the whole process even more enjoyable.

I would highly recommend 1st Gear Motorcycle Training to anyone thinking about starting their motorbike journey. The combination of expert instruction, supportive staff, and quality facilities made the experience exceptional.

A big thank you to the 1st gear team

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Just passed my MOD2 today and I couldn’t thank 1st gear enough. Dave and Jacko taught me everything I need to know to be safe on the roads. Couldn’t recommend this training centre enough, please book in when you can you won’t regret getting on a bike.

Good

In October, I completed my CBT and Mod 1 and Mod 2 training with First Gear, utilising their first-generation equipment. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the exceptional trainers, particularly Dave, who guided me through my CBT, and Jacko, who provided comprehensive training for my Mod 1 and Mod 2 assessments.However, I acknowledge a significant error in my planning. I scheduled my Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests on the same day, despite having successfully cleared my Mod 1. Given the distinct nature of riding exams, it is advisable to allocate separate days for each assessment. Unfortunately, I was unable to clear my Mod 2 due to persistent mental barriers that required refinement or additional guidance from a different perspective.To address this challenge, I opted to change my training school and utilised the services of Circa (Adam Omid & Russel). Through their expertise where psychological coaching was more important than riding skills, I was able to successfully complete my Mod 2 assessment.It is important to clarify that I have no reservations about First Gear or their training methods. Their promptness and dedication were commendable. Additionally, their facility surpassed the DVLA testing centre in terms of comfort and amenities. The motorcycles were meticulously maintained and prepared for optimal performance.I extend my best wishes to the entire team at First Gear and commend them on their ongoing efforts. Their commitment to excellence is truly commendable.

A fantastic experience

A fantastic experience. I started my training initially with another school and was not happy with the lack of consistency and poor facilities. With the knowledge of what else is out there, I can state with confidence that 1st Gear Motorcycle Training is in a different league and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The training centre is excellent, the instructors are great and made the whole process both educational and really enjoyable. If you want to ride bikes safely and pass your test 1st Gear Motorcycle Training is the place to go.

My review is based on having done my Module 1 training at two other schools previously. The basic fact is despite claims many schools just do not have adequate space and facilities to do justice to the Module 1 tests. 1st Geat have both the right sized facilities and good staff. Having failed my Module 1 on the avoidance/swerve I would have failed again was it not for 1st Gear and their facilities.

Amazing!

Everyone at first gear has been so lovely and helpful. From my hour lesson to get to know the gears last year to my cbt and then passing my mod 1 and the mod 2 today! The whole team really put you at ease and make you feel so welcome. They help you through the nerves and celebrate your successes with you. It's like your first little bike family. 100% would recommend for any part of your biking journey!

Complete novice to Cat A licence

I came to 1st Gear with zero riding experience to do my CBT then a few weeks later a weeks intensive training for my MOD1 and MOD2. The Bikes supplied and instructors were instrumental in taking me from a novice to someone able to pass my MOD2 at the first attempt. A special shout to Michelle who organises everything and Andy and Stefan who helped me when I wanted a couple of 121 sessions before each of the tests as this definitely helped boost my confidence.I loved the MT-03 and MT-07 bikes used for the training and they were well maintained and clean every time.
