I had an amazing experience although I had to repeat it a second time due to me failing on the road ride they gave me clear instructions and very easy as I had never rode a bike before and still nearly passed on my first day
Instructors were great
I did a Try Ride and a pre-CBT before my actual CBT, all with Phoenix. These courses really helped and gave me great confidence. Liam and David were both really supportive and they never made me feel stupid! I would highly recommend Phoenix to anyone.

I worked with Liam
I worked with Liam for my full a licence and had to work from the ground up having last ridden 17 years ago. We covered everything for CBT, mod 1 and 2 and I passed both mod1 and 2 first time first time. Would them to recommend anyone who's looking to get their licence and isn't sure who to go with as they are excellent.
5 stars
Great training, the instructor gave all instructions clearly and was composed at all times.

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.

Incredible team and experience with Phoenix. I had a few training sessions with Liam and he was absolutely brilliant. Cbt went smoothly and my instructor was super friendly and gave very clear instructions. Overall had a super experience and would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience and great guidance. Everything was made easy to understand and was enjoyable. Highly recommend them for any of your motorcycle training/Tests. Thank you for a great experience.

I had a really positive experience completing my CBT with Liam.
I already had some riding experience, but what really stood out to me was how Liam supported another learner on the day who had very little experience. He was 19 and clearly still building confidence, but Liam was patient, calm, and really clear with him throughout.
Nothing felt rushed. Liam explained things properly, gave reassurance where needed, and created an environment where both experienced and less experienced riders could learn at the right pace.
The training felt professional, safe, and supportive from start to finish. I left feeling more confident on the bike, but also genuinely impressed by Liam’s approach with new riders.
I would definitely recommend.
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.

Please Read!
I appreciate what i was taught, but i made it clear im the only person in my family that rides and i’m not overly experienced, this was taken advantage off massively, i was told to book another lesson and that i wasnt yet ready to do my cbt, even though i was able to shift gears, balance the bike, control the clutch ect..
Due to the fact i was never given a run down on what a cbt consists of, i went by my instructors word and continued to waste money on lessons i did not need, my last lesson i was even put along side two other learning students, i rode in circles for an hour with little to know instructions or teaching.
please. if you are young and just starting out your motorbike journey. you only need one pre cbt to work out if you think you’d enjoy it! your actual CBT instructor will teach you everything on the day.
understaffed and unprofessional when it comes to pre cbts. Book elsewhere
