Auto to gear course
Another fun day out ! It was indeed very hot , Ben made sure we had our frequent water breaks throughout the course.
Ben was very patient with me as I’ve never been on a geared bike before but with his confidence and instructions gave me hope and confidence myself !
I felt a lot more confident this time around after getting a swing for things after being on a ped for my cbt !
- Very positive feedback , I was recommended to do the CBT + to gain more feel for the bike which I can’t wait for !
Liam was a great instructor
Liam was a great instructor and frequently checked in to see how I was feeling and how I thought I was doing before sharing his own views (which he was real about). He also knew exactly what would be best for me to practice and, hence, I passed 1st try! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book their CBT.

Great company to use
And all instructors are great
Try 1 to 1 before CBT
Doing the one to ones with Sam helped massively and having the help from Dave on the CBT day.
If you have no prior experience with a clutch I highly recommend doing a one to one before doing your CBT it’s a lot to take in on one day so doing the one to one before helps a lot.
The instructor was amazing
The instructor was amazing. He made my CBT stress free and lots of fun. I couldn’t recommend Phoenix motorcycle in Bath enough.
CBT in Watford
I did a few pre-CBT lessons and my CBT with Ben and he was so helpful and a great instructor. The other instructor Paul who was at the CBT was also very helpful and thorough in his explainations.
Will definitely be going back for further training to get my license.
Cant fault them
Cant fault them, me & my partner went quite scared for cbt first time on geared bike. We did ok and then went on the road test part & my partner went into a road sign. We got taken back to training school on back of marks big bike that was a highlight. They were so nice & encouraged us to get back on the bikes on the pad, we booked to return to do the road part & had no issues. Mark was so calming & encouraging & felt so safe & heard with him & all the other instructors. Highly rate them & recommend to all.
Fantastic training and team
Professional, friendly, patient- Phoenix were awesome, thank you so much for getting me through my A2. Highly recommended.

The reason I keep coming back to Phoenix is the top level of teaching, quality and value.
I have done everything from CBT to DAS, advanced rider days and two trail riding days.
Every instructor is highly experienced and knows how to share their knowledge. Lessons are done in very small groups (1 : 2) so its very personal and easy to ask questions.
I like that the training gets tailored on the day to fit what the students need so we can improve on our weaknesses.
All the gear supplied and the bikes are in great condition. The value you get is well worth it, if not for learning, then just a fun day riding around green lanes.
Very professional
Very professional through the booking process to training day. You are well informed about the CBT and the instructor goes through all modules very carefully and explanatory.
CBT training
I completed my Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) with Lee and Martin at Phoenix (leamington spa). Both very knowledgeable and experienced motorcycle instructors. The whole experience was great. They provide fantastic training from start to finish!
The bikes were well-maintained, and they can provided protective gear. The instructors make you feel comfortable the minute you arrive. They are professional, patient, and absolute experts at what they do. Your safety is always a priority to during every training session.
I began my learning journey with no prior experience riding a motorbike and was quite nervous. All maneuvers were broken down into simple, easy-to-understand steps. Skills are built on progressively at your own pace and reinforced repeatedly with the emphasis on reflective practice. I passed with confidence that i was in control of the bike. I went from nothing, to complete belief in my ability riding a manual 125cc motorcycle. Its been a thoroughly enjoyable journey even in the wind, rain and hail.
CBT day was well-structured, running through the all the elements methodically from classroom basics to practical on-road riding. During the on-road ride, the communication was clear, and I felt completely supported. The feedback genuinely built my confidence and taught me how to ride safely and defensively.
Special thankyou to Lee for being so very patient and chilled throughout and also Martin for a great CBT day. Thank you both for being so positive and encouraging. MC X
