Review Time
I came into this as a beginner, I was unsure about how I felt from the start. Trying to book this course I had to try to get in contact multiple times which was quite odd.When I arrived everything went well but when I misunderstood one of the instructions during the practice the instructor knowing well that I am new instead of telling me where I went wrong and how to improve, he decided to raise his voice and tell me off like a child in front of others. At this point my enthusiasm for learning to ride was not there anymore as I felt this instructor had a problem with me which was highly unprofessional. The other instructor were the very opposite! They tell me what I was doing wrong and were very lovely individuals and were very understanding. They encouraged me and gave me great tips which helped me passed my CBT!
10 months ago I had never even sat on Motorbike as a 47 year old man. I'm now enjoying every minute on my Harley Sportster. The typical mid-life crisis prompted me to take a CBT with Quickstart (Oxfordshiremotorcyletraining) ten months ago. Having never been on a motorbike, my instructor back then, Stewart was amazing. I enjoyed the day's riding so much and Stewart gave me so much confidence (despite me being far from a natural rider on the day) that I went right out and bought an LXR 125se. After riding a 125 for 10 months, I took the 3 day DAS course and passed my Mod 1 and Mod 2 without any faults. I entirely have my amazing instructor, Steve, to thank for this. The fact that out of the four students in our group, we all passed our Mod 1s and 2s and I was the least experienced out of all the riders was testament to Steve's outstanding instruction. Steve tailored his instruction to each of us individually on the course. For the Mod , I was incredibly under-confident and nervous, and Steve coached me through the maneuvers and gave outstanding advice. He took a really holistic approach, and spent as much time coaching and supporting me in terms of my confidence as improving my technical skills. What was really outstanding was he went the extra mile, and stayed with me as I watched the other candidates complete their Mod 1s at the Kassam, keeping me calm and controlled. He even managed to get my test time brought forward a little bit so I wasn't waiting any longer than necessary, getting myself more worked up in the process. Steve made the Mod 2 a breeze, despite being in Banbury (which I'd never even been to before) we rode all the test routes. I'm so grateful for his advice regarding exiting and entering the test center which was trickier than I might have presumed. I felt really prepared for the test and despite me losing my instructor at one point, Steve had got me in the right mindset so I wasn't phased at all. Steve never 'over-taught' and during our rides would stay quiet giving pointers only when necessary. This was really good, as on YouTube there are some instructors that never seem to let you think for yourself. It meant that I wasn't uncomfortable on the ride with the examiner and was really thinking for myself during the ride. I would say that Steve combined everything you can associate with being a great instructor with also being a fantastic coach. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, we all had a great time, lots of laughs but also we were serious and supported each other, especially during the Mod 1. To be honest, even though I am elated to have passed, I really miss our days out doing the DAS.I cannot recommend the instructors and service here more.
Nothing short of a 5-star review, I had a great experience gaining my full motorcycle license with Quickstart. Dave was very helpful in getting me booked in at just 1 week's notice due to a previous cancellation, and it was a pleasure to train under Steves's instruction. Overall a delightful 3 days of riding and I passed Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests first-time thanks to the detailed instruction and practice.
I can't fault Dave's team, from my CBT in Witney with Emma through to the mod 1 and 2 with Richard and Steve I felt the tuition was professional, thorough and enjoyable. I'd never ridden a bike before and passed first time which I think speaks volumesThere were elements I struggled with but the guidance and reassurance provided by the team was excellentFrom my experience I would certainly recommend Quickstart
As a new year resolution last year I finally decided to learn to ride a motorbike. Quick Start took me from complete novice through to pass. They were really friendly and supportive but also their instructions were exactly what I needed to improve. Just passed and am thrilled. Very much recommend!
I used these guys for both my CBT and then for my MOD 1 and MOD 2. Having never riden a bike before, they taught me everything I needed to know and got me through every exam first time of asking. Both Dave and Steve are very knowledgeable and patient and give you the confidence to feel safe on the roads. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to get on a bike.
QuickStart Oxfordshire gave me the tools and knowledge to allow me to pass my MOD 1 and 2 tests first time, under the direct Access scheme.Dave the owner ensured I was kept in the loop at all times, being very friendly he also puts you at ease, explains the whole process and answered any questions I had.Instructor Dave is pure class. With a good mix of humour , expert knowledge and brilliant instructor technique he ensures you extract the best from yourself.A really enjoyable experience from start to finish, can’t thank these guys enough......Highly recommended for all those chasing their big boy bike licence .
Very happy with the support from QuickStart, especially Dave the owner and Dave who trained me mod 1 and 2. The approach is obviously safety / skills focused with decent equipment and a dollop of humour to make what can be a fair amount of hanging around in early, cold and wet mornings in group sessions always enjoyable. The lockdown made getting test slots harder (than it should be IMO, almost no physical proximity) so they had to work with a lot of pressure from easer candidates (like me) since the government restarted the limited release of dates. I took two cancellations this week for mod1 and 2, passed despite my best attempts to make errors under stress, so am pretty happy. My opinion of the experience is that QuickStart gave me the skills and knowledge to pass, building my confidence. Due to the cv19 test delays I bought a 125 to keep my road time and knowledge up and this also helped, made the time with Dave my trainer more effective, less rusty. QuickStart are recommended for an effective and enjoyable way to do your DAS!
