“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

Recently used these guys and they are brilliant. It was hard getting things done around my work but Alex went above and... beyond to work round it for me. All the instructors are great, very knowledgeable, friendly and want to teach you to be safe and not just to pass a test. I have and would recommend to anyone wanting to do their licence!

At 48 I was goaded by the family into doing my bike licence. Mark from A2B was fantastic with me. He was patient,... professional and calm with me as I was extremely nervous. He took the time with me to make sure I was happy but most importantly he made me believe I could do it. Thank you Mark.read more

I highly recommend A2B 👍 I had my lessons with Pete at church Fenton. I’d never ridden a motorcycle before so I... had no idea (decided to learn in my mid 50’s) I didn’t want to put pressure on myself so took a slower approach to learning (Nov-March) plus learning in the winter and minus 5 temperatures proved challenging! 🥶 Pete is so professional and incredibly patient, especially when I became distracted with the police training on the airfield 😝 cannot recommend A2B enough, passed MOD1 and MOD2 first time. Thank you so so much 🙏🏼 xxread more

Just took my CBT course yesterday ( at Church Fenton ). After a long while away from motorcycles . A brilliant and... positive experience from start to finish. Phil our instructor on the day was exceptional ,open and honest. If you thinking about hopefully acquiring a motorcycle or Scooter license then A2B should be your first contact.

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!read more

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.
