“Delighted to say that I passed my CBT and Direct Access training first time with A2B Motorcycle Training. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.”

Their instructors are really friendly, very approachable, thorough and go out of their way to help you pass. I used one of their motorcycles for my Direct Access test and was pleasantly surprised when I was given a virtually brand new, good quality bike to use for my test – which is typical of their fleet and not what you’d expect with other training providers. I’m now planning to use them again for advanced training lessons! Tony Roper, Knaresborough Glass

I passed my A2 with A2B in 2021, I was really happy with how the whole team conducted themselves and helped me pass my... Mod1 and Mod2 first time!

I recommended numerous of my friends to train with A2B and they all agree that they’re friendly, informative and really support each individual on their journey to attaining their motorbike licence.

3 years later I have come back to A2B to complete my full unrestricted licence. Once again I passed first time with 0 faults!

Thank you to the whole team and I would highly recommend A2B to anyone that asks!

If you’ve found A2B Motorcycle Training, you’ve found your riding school. Brilliant experience from start to finish... with these guys. Great bikes and fantastic facilities.

Immense gratitude to Barry, Alex and Mark for the expertise and education to effortlessly get me through my DAS training and test days at the first attempt back in 2021.

Can’t recommend these guys highly enough. After a bad experience with another training school my confidence was shot to... the point I was thinking that bikes just weren’t for me. This was learning as learning should be, enjoyable and interesting.
Got a MOD 1 and a MOD 2 pass at the first attempt, Mark my instructor was great, a good laugh and very knowledgeable. Barry on test day equally as good.
Can’t thank you people enough.
Pints on me next time we meet, and keep up the great work.
Once again, thank you .

A fantastic experience! Previously used for a CBT a few years ago and it was a positive experience then! So much so... that a friend of mine and I drove up from London/Kent, just to use these guys! The tuition from Mark is brilliant and was very informative which helped to breed confidence in our riding ability. Barry and Alex were always on hand to help and answer any questions we asked and are very hospitable! I really can’t recommend enough. I passed the test with 0 minors thanks to these guys! The team are worth their weight in gold! Thanks all and looking forward to going on a ride out in the near future!read more

“I’m not sure if I was pupil No. 1 or No. 2 back in 2010, but I’ve enjoyed watching the growing success of A2B over the years. I can’t say that I’m surprised how well they are doing, Barry was an absolutely Top Guy with the patience of a saint and long may your success continue”Paul Anson

“Bought myself a Honda Transalp and am currently touring North Coast of Scotland, seemed like the natural thing to do having passed my test only 3 weeks ago! Fantastic, thanks for all the advice & perseverance.” Paul Priestley
