BMW Rider Training Anmeldelser 173

I did my training in Royston mainly with Toby, but one day with Ian. They were both absolutely brilliant and had a wealth of knowledge, not just about how to pass the tests but also how to be a better rider which is exactly what I was looking for. I did the 7 day course and at the beginning of the week, I was pretty useless and was convinced I'd never get the hang of actually turning the handlebars, never mind being able to actually do a u turn or a figure of 8, and I thought if I were Toby I would have throttled me, but he kept very calm and managed to explain in different ways how to get me to do it, and lo and behold, there I was actually DOING IT! By day 2 we were out on the road on the 800s, and each day could see noticeable improvements. We got time at the test centre to practice on the actual facilities for the Mod 1 so we'd know exactly what to expect, which was invaluable. Toby was very good at checking in with us towards the end of the week to see if there were any areas we felt we needed practise on before the mods, or any specific roads we wanted to revisit. Also, being female I didn't at all feel the way the place where I'd done my CBT had made me feel. Here I was just another rider. Being male or female didn't come into it. The bikes are well looked after - in great condition, not battered, and are lovely to ride. I had a lowered one as I'm a bit short. I live in North London but travelling to Royston daily was definitely the right decision. I got a weekly train ticket, but I know some people get an Air B&B and stay up there.

A very professionally run training centre using highly experienced instructors.

Well maintained, modern motorbikes and good safety equipment.

First time pass MOD 1 and 2.

Many thanks to Ian, Toby and the team.

Highly recommended.

I have had a fantastic 7 day intensive course at Royston1 Having never ridden a motorcycle before day one, to passing my category A unrestricted licence by day 7! My instructor Toby was fantastic, he was very informative, put me at ease, helped understand the fundamentals of riding a motorcycle, taught me everything I needed to pass both tests and kept me fully entertained for the entire week! Toby has really given me the confidence required to ride a motorcycle and I am looking so very forward to buying my own motorcycle and having a great time safely.

I would fully recommend BMW Rider Training if you are interested in a direct access intensive course. It is by far the best value for money, with all gear and bikes included as well as incredibly entertaining and rewarding.

I was made to feel incredibly welcome and felt like I was part of a massive effort with all other participants throughout the week, feeling very supported by everyone there.

Outstanding training with highly experienced and capable instructors. You can quite realistically go from never having ridden a bike before to gaining a full bike license in just 7 days. The learning approach builds quickly with each new technique building on the last. Most importantly this training teaches you to ride a bike with skills that will stay with you forever, not just to pass a bike test.

Brilliant, sublime coaching from a consummate professional. Facilities are a bit like a staff room at a garage but not bad.

Every instructor was great, caring and helpful. But Denis was extra caring.
Very understanding school and will do anything to get you to pass. Very patient people. Facilities were clean.
If I every want to advance my skills I know where to go. BMW Royston!
Thank you for all your hard work.

An utterly brilliant set up from the off. All the gear is supplied. That means new bikes and new good gear. The training was second to none, the instructors are brilliant just listen to them and you'll be fine. Good friendly yet educational atmosphere through out the week. All the tests booked well in advance so you can just get on with them! No waiting around. Brilliant brilliant course and school. DAS-7 Royston

The amazing BMW rider training based in Exeter - amazing instructors, a massive thank you to the owner Chris and my two incredible instructers Chris and Dave. You are the most wonderful and skilled instructers
I went from never having ridden a motorbike, to passing my CBT on a 300cc BMW bike, then passing my Mod1 and Mod2 on the 800cc BMW GS. The bikes are all new, immaculate and so capable. There is a real private road circuit with hills, roundabouts, traffic lights, a proper safe mini village road network - before you get out onto the real roads - my instructors were amazing, just amazing. I did the 7 day unlimited direct access course, not the cheapest, but you really get what you pay for, all bikes, kit (loan of £800 bmw jackets, £700 trousers, boots, helmets all included and top quality) - I would recommend them to anyone. They also have their own mod 1 test site, and they also give you an access to the actual dvlsa test Mod 1 site.

Would highly recommend anyone wanting to get their bike MOD1 & MOD2 goes to BMW Training @ Exeter.
Great instructors with a wealth of knowledge, who make the whole journey enjoyable.

Great course worth every penny.would highly recommend 👍

Just completed my week DAS course at Royston- passed Mod 1 and 2 - brilliant instruction and great advice over the week- big shout out to Toby, my instructor- really appreciate the guidance throughout. Would not hesitate to recommend this training.

Super professional. I hadn't ever riden a bike and passed both tests after 5 days training.

I completed my DAS course with BMW Rider Training in December 2024 and couldn't be more pleased with the results. I took a 7-day course in Exeter and passed my Mod 1 and Mod 2 after this course. The instructors I had were both former Royal Marines no less. It is clear that they have a lot of experience in being motorcycling instructors and they were exceptionally professional and competent. The facilities in Exeter were great, with the bikes I learnt to ride on being basically new BMWs. I would thoroughly recommend learning to ride here.

Exceptionally skilled instruction from Julie and David. My pre course form clearly had been looked at and my teaching tailored to my needs. Really impressed by learner centred approach. Passed DAS first time. I feel I was taught to be a safe rider not just to pass tests.

Excellent bikes, well drilled process of assessment and calm advice when you need it. Gradually building your confidence and competence. Nice friendly people make for a pleasant enjoyable day that will bring you leaps forward feeling you have made real progress and giving you a clear understanding of what areas you need to focus on going forward.

Highly recommend the 6 day course.
I did it at Royston. Ian and his team are very good at putting you at ease and building up your skills and confidence.
The facility and bikes are excellent and they really prepare you well for the mod 1 and 2.
More importantly than getting you through the tests, the on road training really drills into you safe and confident riding skills.
As the course progressed the nerves were gone and I really enjoyed the rides and the mod 1 and 2 tests were a breeze.
My instructor was Toby and he was fantastic.

The instructors were very patient and always gave you positive feedback, no matter what you had done.
Adapted the day to your needs and abilities.

The best facilities, instructors and bikes...
Even if you've had bad experiences or are a little nervous of bikes you'll leave feeling like Evil Knievel.
For those with confidence and a little experience... you'll leave after a week with your A license, no problem.
My week was spent with 3 other guys. We split into 2 pairs of 2 and all 4 of us passed first time.
The instructors are very high quality and all of them clearly LOVE teaching riders how to be safe, legal and sensible on the road and improving their technical ability. Also, they're all lovely people and great fun!
I couldn't recommend it enough.

The team at Royston took me from absolute beginner through to passing
Mod 2. From start to finish every interaction was excellent. Efficient communication and Admin was followed by excellent training. Equipment was great - the bikes brand new and the protective gear clean and comfortable. Instructors Dave, Bob and Brian each contributed to my ultimate success, sharing their experience in a way that inspired just the right amount of confidence. Perhaps not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. I recommend without hesitation.

I did the seven day Rookie-to-Rider DAS with Ian’s team at Royston. I was made to feel very welcome as soon as I stepped into the riding school on the first day. The riding gear and the bikes were all first class.

I had several instructors over the course: Dave, Bob and Brian. All were calm, encouraging and made the experience of learning to ride a motorcycle fun. Feedback while riding was always given in a positive critical manner.

The intent of all the instructors at the school is to make riding safe and fun rather than focusing on passing the test. This has the beneficial effect of increasing your confidence so Mod 1 and Mod 2 are a lot less daunting.

I would highly recommend Ian and his team at the BMW Rider Training School at Royston if you want to learn to ride a motorcycle.
