How do I get the best Motorbike Lessons in Cardiff?

This is a difficult decision for you to make because until you pay your money and take a chance with a training school you don’t know if you’ve made the right choice or not. So let us put your mind at ease.

You can get valuable information from the Company Reviews left by previous clients, and these reviews show up on the  ‘google’ search results.

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) also carry out periodic assessments of Instructors at CBT sessions and then report back to the company.

One of our ‘1st Class’ Instructors was recently assessed and this is the summary of the DSA Examiner’s findings.

“This was a very well conducted CBT. Steve gave excellent demonstrations throughout and kept both trainees involved at all times.  Steve has a very pleasant manner and uses his own experiences well to explain things. Steve obviously has a lot of motorcycle experience and used this well both on and off road to warn of potential hazards and problems but still allowed the trainees plenty of opportunity to demonstrate their own abilities.  Steve’s use of Q & A made learning both easy and enjoyable for the trainees who both commented through the day how much they were learning and how enjoyable Steve made it for them”.

So spend your money wisely.  Give 1st Class Rider Training a call to book your training.

How many Motorbike Training Schools are there in South Wales?

For a City the size of Cardiff there are surprisingly few Motorcycle Training Schools serving the population.

The longest running is Cardiff Motorcycle School who are based at Bevans Motorcycle Dealership at Hadfield Road in the West of the City, using the Cardiff City Stadium Car Park as their main CBT training site.

Centrally based, 1st Class Rider Training-Cardiff have been running since 2003, originally linked to the Cardiff BMW Motorcycle Dealership, (Rydale BMW – who have since changed hands and no longer sell BMW Bikes).  1st Class Rider Training-Cardiff use Cardiff County Council Road Safety Centre at Maindy Stadium, just off North Road as the main training site.  There we have the use of a purpose built training site with Road junctions, Traffic Lights and a full sized roundabout.

Just Ride Away is a newly formed Training Body based at Willows High School in the South of the City.

United Motorcycle Training based at Llanishen Trading Estate to the North of the City also have branches at South Wales Superbikes in Newport and also make use of a training area at Llandow in the Vale of Glamorgan.

These are the main Authorised Training Bodies in the City but the surrounding area is served by Schools at Aberdare, Bridgend, Bedwas, Pontypridd, Merythyr Tydfil and Cwmbran.

A recent closure of a training school in the Vale of Glamorgan has seen a Bristol based company try and fill the Llantwit Major gap left by the closure.

So when it comes to spending your money you want the best value for your cash so it is worth shopping around….and after you’ve shopped around and spoken to the others 1st Class Rider Training-Cardiff will be happy to book you in!
