Traditional hospitality, Victorian charm and first-class service
At 1st Class Rider Training, we're passionate about providing top-notch motorcycle training to riders of all levels. Our team, led by a former Police Motorcyclist, has years of experience in motorcycle training and a wealth of knowledge to share with our students. We're authorised by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) for Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) and 'Big Bike' training under the Direct Access Scheme, and our instructors hold the prestigious RoSPA Diploma.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to provide exceptional motorcycle training that goes beyond just passing a test. We want our students to ride with confidence and safety, and to enjoy the thrill of motorcycling for years to come. That's why we use Police Class 1 and RoSPA Qualified Instructors to provide 1st Class tuition on our 500 and 600cc bikes under the direct access scheme.
Our Services
We offer a range of motorcycle training courses to suit riders of all levels, from complete beginners to experienced riders looking to improve their skills. Our courses include:
- Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) for riders new to motorcycling
- Direct Access Training for riders over 24 who want to ride larger bikes
- Advanced Motorcycle Training for experienced riders who want to take their skills to the next level
- RoSPA Advanced Test Training for riders who want to achieve the highest level of motorcycle training
- Motorcycle Rideouts and European Motorcycle Tours for riders who want to explore new roads and scenery
What Sets Us Apart
At 1st Class Rider Training, we're committed to providing the best value for your money. We don't believe in cutting corners or sacrificing quality to save a few pounds. That's why we offer longer training days (from 8.00am to 3.00pm) and a more comprehensive training programme that covers everything you need to know to ride safely and confidently.
