Great bunch of guys
Great bunch of guys, friendly attitude, real professionals and very very patient. I have struggled at the beginning but they have got my through . Big thank you to all.
Kudos to the boys at Phoenix
The instructor Steve B was friendly, professional and very informative. Great session. The facilities are a little stone age.
I didn't like the CB125F but that is personal preference. Overall a great time with good people.
Paul in Bricket Wood = 5 Star Instructor!
Purely 5 star because of the instructor Paul at the "Watford" location. (Bricketwood Social Club) He believed in me more than I believed in myself at times and his patience and teaching style was great. Thanks Paul for making my day special and enjoyable.
Brilliant service
Lovely friendly staff
Lovely friendly staff. Was trained by Greg and Karen, both patient, excellent teachers. Karen really helped my daughter who was quite anxious and she made her feel at ease. Went on the road with Karen, I was not familiar with the area, but Karen gave such clear instructions on where to go and was a really enjoyable ride.
I recently completed my CBT training…
I recently completed my CBT training with George in Milton Keynes, and I highly recommend his services. George is a true professional who provides very clear explanations throughout the course. His patience is remarkable, ensuring that all instructions regarding bike controls, road safety, and traffic signs are fully understood. This approach gave me the confidence I needed to ride safely. Thank you for the excellent, thorough instruction.

Phoenix Motorcycle Training Instructor - Rich
The instructor, Rich, was friendly, knowledgeable, informative and encouraging. The ride-out was extremely good as well, some nice scenery as well as covering many different situations.
Other Phoenix team members were also very friendly and chatty.
Overall and excellent experience.
renewed my cbt with ashley
renewed my cbt with ashley. great instructor very competent, friendly and easy going, wouldn't change a thing.
A really enjoyable day
I went to the Phoenix Centre at Crystal Palace. It’s quite a nice place, big and open, next to the athletics stadium.
But it was our instructor Darren that made it special. He was great, a mixture of informative professionalism and ‘say it like it is’ honesty, combined with a fun sense of humour. For me, the highlight of the day was when we went out on the road. Darren seemed to see everything before we did and gave constant tips, warnings and encouragement, all delivered in a calm, reassuring manner.
I was quite nervous beforehand but right from the start he made me feel right at home.
I learnt loads, gained a lot of confidence and basically had a really enjoyable day.
Thanks Darren
A huge thank you to Martin
A big thank you to Martin who helped me pass my CBT training in Leamington Spa.
He was very attentive and knew exactly how to explain the different skills in a way that each individual person could understand.
Martin was very patient an knew exactly what you were getting right and what you were getting wrong which really helped with confidence on the bike.
I would highly recommend if you are looking to get your CBT training not just 'done' but done properly.
All good
Great facilities, brand new bike. Our instructor was approachable but very thorough. He did a great job of introducing everything we might expect to meet on the Erith test routes which are not the easiest. I felt prepared going into my Mod 2. Got a first time pass!!! Thanks Phoenix!
