I booked with A2Z for my CBT after reading some of the reviews which were all extremely positive. I'm stoked I did because it was a great experience. All of the instructors were really friendly, helpful and encouraging and went out of their way to make the day enjoyable as well as just a means to an end to get the qualification. There's a reason they've got such consistently great reviews. Thanks again guys.

I renewed my CBT with A2Z couple of days ago. I can not recommend them highly enough. Ozzie is the greatest instructor which helped a lot. Thank you very much guys once again.

I completed my CBT with A2Z and couldn't recommend them highly enough. The whole day ran so smoothly and was the cold weather was helped by the fact that all the instructors were really friendly, funny and helpful. I spent a lot of time with Rob who also helped talk me through taking the next step with my motorbike license and helped recommend bikes that I was interested in. Choose A2Z if you want your CBT or to take up a motorbike license.

Renewed my CBT here, great place.
Instructors are friendly, confident and know their stuff, able to quickly spot and adapt to how myself and the other riders were handling everything.
Rental bikes and other safety gear is all decent kit, too.
I've recommended A2Z to my friends and colleagues since first went here a couple of years ago, and will continue to do so.

I had fantastic CBT automatic training with A to Z, very kind and personable instructors, who were immensely thorough and left me feeling extremely confident to take to the road. Will definitely be back for my geared training in the future!

Fantastic experience completing my CBT with A2Z- all instructors were great, really knowledgeable and skilled, the course itself was ideal- I've left feeling confident to ride on the road, and it was really good fun! Couldn't recommend them more highly.

Best place and team to do your CBT. Everyone is friendly, understanding, helpful and very skilled. I felt welcomed from the start to the end. I gained loads of confidence. The whole training day is amazing, very detailed and all the instructors are super patient. If you're not very good at one exercise they will make sure that they spend some extra time with you until you feel comfortable with that exercise and only then move on.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IT!! Would not go to any other place.
Thank you A2Z Team :)

I had a brilliant experience getting my CBT with A2Z. I was pleased when I arrived and there was a female instructor, as I've heard this is quite rare. She was brilliant and super encouraging - but as was every single one of the instructors. I would really encourage anyone, and especially women/girls to get their CBT with A2Z they made a brilliant environment for learning and overall a really fun morning.
P. L.
Thank you again to the team at A2Z for taking me through my updated CBT.
There's a few reasons I've continued to come back to you and will use you for my big bike test soon. I appreciate the friendly, very professional admin in the back office and the informative and enjoyable format of your courses and of course improved the fact that you've great prehistoric and are a bunch of really nice people.
Can't say enough on how I appreciation your services over the last decade and will continue to big up your team.
I appreciate you.

Calm and relaxed place to get your training done. The roads are open. So if you are new. It will be easy to start your day from that location. Also the instructor is a great guy.
B. S.
Came from another CBT (Where I failed .. and the instructors there were impatient and snappy), these guys however are really patient with you. If you mess up or take a bit longer to get something down they're calm about it and will encouragingly show you how to do it properly. You feel like they want you to pass just as much as you do. Fantastic team at A2Z, cheers guys !

Rob and gen are great instructors and helped me learn to ride
Thanks guys so much

5 star rating for sure they made me feel very confident and safe. Explained everything so that I could understand easily. This is definitely the place to go for rider training. See you guys in two years for my next cbt.
Thanks again

The training instructor where very helpful, informative and had a good sense of humour. Also they was very patient with trainees and gave extra attention on those who needed it. Definitely recommend it to friends and will probably be back to do renewal or full licence 🤞🏾

These guys were so much fun. They were direct and to the point, very professional and left no room for unsafe learning, but they were patient and dedicated to helping you get through all the essential pieces of riding safely. Definitely recommend!

P. P.
I don’t usually review places but I have complete my training here 4 times now and have found the service and training to be brilliant each time, the booking is easy and training team all are very experienced and are able to help me kick the bad habits that drivers tend to pick up while driving in london. I would strongly recommend anyone to go here as a new driver to a more experienced driver. Thanks to the team again for the work your doing will be back again for sure.

Complete professionals, made me feel very welcome throughout, highly recommend - thanks!

Great instructor, excellent communication, felt well informed. He was very thorough with his instructions and safety. Highly recommend.

My experience of A2Z Rider Training has been fantastic. I could have never asked for more whilst training for my DAS. From Tina handling my initial phonecall and the administration to the guy's who all participated in my training which i got to pass first time was amazing. Being that I was somewhat nervous, I felt in good hands and they got me through my 2 modules 1st time. They are all a fantastic bunch and I would highly recommend them to all. They have something over and beyond, they are brilliant and I'd highly recommend this rider raining company forever.
B. M.
My first time doing a CBT and I was left feeling confident. Good knowledgeable instructors, providing enough information and skills to get you on the road. My thanks to the guys Ossie, Gen & Rob.
M. M.
Just completed my CBT here at A2Z training.. overall a wonderful experience, the trainer Ossie was very calm and professional. It was great to find a training centre open in the current climate, it has given me the chance to stop using the tubes and have more independence in travelling. The course was well priced and I would highly recommend A2Z to any new or experienced riders..
D. G.
Many thanks to the team ! I completed a cbt 2 years ago and have been on a scooter since then, had to retake the cbt as I want to get the a2 so they recommended I do it on a 125 geared bike in preparation .
Ozzie was friendly and patient and taught me how to ride the geared bike from the basics and not long after I had gotten the hang of it !
No complaints great trainers and I’ll definitely be doing my a2 with them as soon as I can ! Tina was also very friendly and despite the current climate kept me up to date with everything helping me get it booked in
Cheers guys
R. 1.
I had my CBT done yesterday and Rob, Gen and Ozy ae absolutely fantastic. Take their time to explain everything from A-Z and they are very patient. Definitely recommend to anyone to go and have their license done with them!
Thank you so much guys- Florica

I've just completed my Direct Access course with A2Z Rider Training, and delighted to have passed my motorcycle test first time!
From the moment I first called them, I knew I'd made the right decision.
Tina was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Ozzie and Shane, my two instructors were seriously helpful and have an excellent style of instruction. The bikes, Yamaha ML07's were brand new, and a perfect choice as a learner bike. And with only 2 students per instructor, it was a perfect ratio to ensure I got the most out of the course.
I would highly recommend this company.
D. B.
I was surprised how fun whizzing around a car park on a scooter could be. I was quite nervous about getting on a scooter for the first time, and left absolutely buzzing. The instructors were informative and supporting, and also quick to point out any mistakes without mincing their words.
N. v. K.
These guys were so much fun. They were direct and to the point, very professional and left no room for unsafe learning, but they were patient and dedicated to helping you get through all the essential pieces of riding safely. Definitely recommend!

I was really nervous about learning to ride but Rob, Jen and Ozzy made thw whole process feel fun and relaxed. Great trainers and an enjoyable day. Highly recommended.
C. L.
Top rider training school, I highly recommend it. Ozzie and Shane (the instructors) were terrific and were constantly giving very useful advice and comments. It was also good fun and the bikes we used well maintained and comfortable. I felt quite confident on the test day. Tina, who manages everything on the other side of the phone, was also fantastic, kind and very helpful. Thank you very much indeed, I will definitely recommend A2Z to anyone interested in getting their bike licence. Thanks tons!
I. M.
A2Z is a great school to work with! I did both CBT and Direct Access Scheme with them.
Ozzie and Tina are great to give advise and the best plan of action, thank you both!
My Direct Access Scheme was done with Fluffy and Shane. They are amazing teachers, they don’t just teach you how to pass, they teach you how to continue riding safely and prepare you for your life on the bike. This is the main reason I recommend a2z, as someone who commutes in London daily I find this experience vital. I am confident to say that I am a much safer rider now!
I did my MOD1 and MOD2 in one day, which is how A2Z recommends it, as everything is done all in one go and no need to wait for mod2 for weeks. I have passed both mod1 and mod2 with my first attempt with only few minors.
The lessons were extremely hard, but who cares when you get a full licence in just 5 days? If you do everything they say, you will pass!
As I passed, I went straight to the dealership for a test ride and picked up my new bike the next day.
Thanks Fluffy (especially Fluffy) and Shane! Was (tough, but) amazing working with you!
All the best and I hope to see you sometime in the future,
Igor

Big thank you to A2Z Rider Training for helping me pass the Full Motorcycle License today at my first attempt. I'm very happy with the overall experience. Tina has been very helpful arranging everything over the phone. Ossie has been a terrific Instructor, I had no real experience driving on the UK roads and he made me succeed first try. Ossie has been providing priceless experience tips all the way through the training (and some good jokes about France as well...). So this is with a great pleasure that I recommend A2Z Rider Training. Thank you very much guys for everything. I'm part of the riders family now ;-). Matthieu

Really enjoyable morning, a well designed training course with great instructors that explained everything clearly and with care. They also bought fun to the morning which was an added bonus! Thanks Gen and Ossie and unfortunately I can’t remember the other instructors name (apologies) but all good guys and great instructors. Thanks again!

I took a DAS course with A2Z rider and passed Modules 1 and 2 on the same day.
Tina, Ossie and Shane were extremely professional and got the best out of my riding skills.
Training is really efficient and practical: on top of regular rides, we did a mock test for Module 2 and went to the test center to practice for Module 1 on a Sunday. So when I took the test I knew exactly what to do and felt confident and passed!
The training bikes were brand new and enjoyable to ride. Not only the training is top notch quality and rigorous, it was also a lot of fun. The whole team is friendly which made my training a real positive experience.
Would definitely recommend.
B. K.
I was very nervous, overwhelmed and inconfident before i took the CBT.
I felt so relaxed and comfortable throughout the training. Both trainers are brilliant and do their best to teach you everything step by step.
I did not feel any pressure and the instructors were very patient, funny, respectful. Both instructors are brillant
I left at the end of the day with so much confidence and zeal. Thanks again A2Z.
R. T.
I was looking for trainers with good reviews and that is what I found. Good info from Tina on the phone and very skilled, patient and friendly instructors.
Never drove a bike and managed to go on the road not without some show stoppers but Fluffy and Ozzie were amazing and handled it all with grace and amazing humor. I love bikes and they made my first experience a blast
R. F.
Having never ridden an on-board bike before I was extremely nervous going in to this training. I'm so happy I went through A2Z as everyone I dealt with were friendly, professional and out me at ease.
The pricing was the most straight forward, complete price for everything. Equipment is top notch and well maintained.
Shane was our instructor and I couldn't have wanted better - he has such an affable way about him and his style of teaching turned my nerves into confidence helping me pass both modules first time round!
Thanks to Shane, Ozzie and Tina!
I highly recommend A2Z to anyone wanting to get their motorbike licence
M. L.
Went there today to complete my CBT and passed. It was all because of the help of my instructors. Both great guys, they delivered a friendly, clear , informative and professional service. Will certainly recommend to all future budding motorcyclists. Great job!
D. N.
Great school, I did my DAS with instructor Fluffy who is passionate about his job and bikes (he is also very funny). He will see all your mistakes and teach you how to drive safely (it's all about "observation and planning")... He will require the best from you but the day of the exam you will be more than ready! Only negative comment was about his brand new radio which needs some adjustments to hear well his instructions while riding. Tina has also been amazing, making this all experience very smooth. She will find a solution for each request. Overall, highly recommended.
M. O.
I finally have my full motorcycle license all thanks to A2Z. At every point through this journey every member of staff treated me like a valued customer, matching my own motivation to get my license.
Tina who booked in my classes and my tests was an absolute gem (she became my rider mum).
Fluffy and Shane my instructors were not only experienced, knowledgeable but taught with an exceptional balance of toughness, humour and genuine care! They were hilarious.
Loved the fact that Fluffy could pin point why my U-turned totally sucked and with a few words of advice I nailed it.
They really looked after us learners. It was such a privilege to be taught by them both and to be consoled by Tina when I needed that extra motivation...it's a shame I passed.
There is a real family feeling with A2Z which is often lost in just providing a service. And they did more than just offer a service.
Thank you, truly, A2Z!
Y. C.
I've done CBT and DAS with A2Z and had great experience with both. Not only I learned how to pass the exam and ride safely, I also had a lot of fun. A2Z is a family business and all the instructors are friends for ages. For the student it feels like joining a group of friends who are having fun time challenging each other to be better. Well, they will mostly challenge you, but you can also make them guess why in hell you've done that crazy thing on a roundabout/junction/pedestrian crossing :)
If you think that riding is easy and you will have no problems whatsoever, then ask Fluffy to be your instructor. He will calibrate your perception with his tough couching style. If you feel like you will benefit from teaching style more then Shane is your man. John is doing CBT only but he is a great teacher as well. I haven't had an opportunity to spend a lot of time with Ozzy, but he was using every occasion to check whether I have any questions and give useful piece of advice. Tina was doing a great job arranging everything and making sure my busy schedule is taken into account.
Overall, I had great experience with this company and happy to recommend them.
K. M.
Great instructor, excellent communication, felt well informed. He was very thorough with his instructions and safety. Highly recommend.

I did my cbt with a2z. It was such a good experience that I decided to do the full license with them on the direct access course. Tina was great at helping me get my course booked and information sorted, always responding quickly whenever I had a query. The course itself was exactly as I'd hoped. The bikes were brand new and perfect to learn on. Most of all the tuition was excellent. Ozzy and Shane were brilliant, very friendly and taught with a great mixture of information and encouragement. They helped me stay calm and focused. And now because of this course and all at a2z I have my full license. Couldn't recommend it highly enough!
M. R.
Passed full motorbike Mod 2 test after training with Shane from A2Z! Fantastic experience: Tina made a real effort to find me training and test dates over the last 2 months - she is really well spoken and helpful. Shane is a brilliant instructor - seldom gets visibly frustrated or annoyed while you repeatedly make the same mistakes, does not berate you over the radio while on a ride, calmly points out your mistakes after the ride and tells you what to do, makes a real effort to connect with the riders and really encourages you before the test (hiding his personal doubts about your ability to pass - I know he was surprised that I cleared :)
Fluffy who was the other instructor I met was also really helpful and his banter helped create a relaxing atmosphere. These guys are very good.
I also renewed my CBT with A2Z and it was again very professionally done.
I can honestly compare with a much worse experience at Advantage Wimbledon last year - where the instructor did the opposite of everything above. No wonder I didn't go back and would never recommend them to anyone.
If you are looking to train and qualify, go with A2Z...you will be in good hands.

I just passed my Direct Access test this morning after a four day training course with A2Z Rider Training. I did my CBT with these guys 2 years ago and liked them so much that I did my full licence course with them too.
I found my experience of the training course to be very fulfilling. I had two instructors over the four days, Ozzy and Shayne who were both really good, patient and knowledgeable. The bike I used, Yamaha MT-07 was brand new, a really great bike.
The test itself is by law hard to pass, however I felt I had been given all the skills and tips to pass first time and in my case I did so with zero minors, an A* test result if you will, which I think says a lot about the level of skill they got me to. I would strongly recommend the course to all friends or family who were looking to take out their full licence.
I’ve not been able to stop smiling all day. Go with these guys, you won’t be disappointed.
M. Y.
I have done my CBT with A2Z Rider North London Motorcycle Training School today. Experience was amazing!!!
I never ride motorbike before and just made it done in one go.
Specially I would like say thank you to my 2 instructors who put me on the 🏍 vehicle with zero to fully confident.
Trust me, how they both do demonstration and explain in order the complete training process, you have to say just one word “WOW”.
Damn experienced, super talented on what they are doing.
***I can’t believe it, I have done it****
I couldn’t be confident enough to show my performance as expected but they made me do it multiple times and make me more confident to be on main roads. Just loved the complete training.
Really grateful to my instructors.
You don’t need to know anything, Just see and follow their instructions.
If I can do it , anyone can do it.
Respectful people and they make you feel the same way.

Great riding school, managed to get me through both Mod1 and Mod2 from the first time. I wasn't great on a bike before the course, so I took the longer version. Tina managed to adjust the schedule to help with work and I started very soon, which fit just right. The plan was to learn a lot and pass the tests before my theory test expired, two days after the Mod1/2 date. Thanks to the great instruction from Shane it all worked out perfectly.
The bikes are quite new and easy to handle. Also, practicing on the exam location helped a lot, both for Mod1 and Mod2. I'd have probably failed on the swerve of Mod1 if I hadn't done it several times before the test. And for Mod2 I was out mostly on roads which we had covered during the training, which helped immensely.
Can't recommend them enough, very patient, level-headed, very good at helping me at build confidence with the bikes and on the road, great instruction.
A. B.
Couldn’t be happier about my riding experience with A2Z, taking my DAS and passing MOD1/MOD2 first time. From the moment you book your course with Tina over the phone, you know you’ve made the right choice. Tina is considerate and always trying to help, managing course times around your schedule.
Once you start your course things get even better. I was training with Rob who not only has bucket loads of experience, but is also a great guy to spend time with, making the training days very enjoyable and educational. Rob trains you well above test standards and prepares you for every elements of both tests. In parallel to my training with Rob, I also had the pleasure of spending time with Shane who made sure everyone was having a good time and sharing his own perspective on the test.
All in all, a great team and a fantastic atmosphere. In fact, even in the stress-inducing environment that is the test centre waiting room, you could easily tell Rob and Shane were the two instructors there with the most rapport with their students (by a mile..).
I passed MOD1/MOD2 first time and on the same day, and would recommend A2Z to anyone interested in taking their test. Thanks team!
M. N.
Had a great experience doing my CBT at A2Z Rider Training. I'd never been on a bike before, let alone a geared one. The instructors were incredible. They made me feel at ease and I had an overall fantastic time on the bike. 10/10 would recommend.
J. W. E.
Had an absolute blast doing my CBT here, looking forward to going back when I'm ready to move on to my A2. Booking and organising of everything was done by the lovely Tina and a brief phone chat to her kids who were super sweet!
Absolutely a great family run business.
My experience on geared bikes was nil, but Ozzie was really, really friendly, funny and supportive. His instruction particularly getting used to the gears was fantastic, as was his help through the radio when we were out on the road. He didn't get frustrated with all my annoying errors and instead tried to see the funny side.
Seeing him support and motivate others in the group was really encouraging too. Felt like I was in a really safe environment with Ozzie.
Fully recommend these guys.
S.
Amazing service, very organised. The instructors are very friendly and very helpful. Motor bikes are nice and new and lovely to ride.
Just an update, I had my test today after not riding for over two weeks. Ossie kindly took his time and did more practice with me on the way to the test center which help me to get used to the bike again and I passed :))))
Thanks Ossie for your help & support and thank you Tina for getting me on the test center again before I do my big trip. Big thank to Shane for being so lovely too.
F. L.
Outstanding riding school. My instructor, Rob was as much a guardian as a mentor on the road. Detailed, comprehensive and relaxed training and instruction. You could not be more ready for the tests after spending the course time with these instructors. Passed first time out in the most appalling weather conditions. Rob and Shane's attendance with us on test day was confidence inspiring and helped a great deal with the nerves. A school by bikers for bikers. From the excellent and seamless administration by the lovely Tina, supportive assessment of my riding ability by Ozzie to the instruction by Rob, I cannot recommend them more.
R. W.
These guys are fantastic, I can't recommend enough! From start to finish I had such a great experience with Ossie and the A2Z gang (including Tina); friendly, professional, and super knowledgeable, you know you're in a safe pair of hands. And I had fun too, they're super guys and it's a great learning atmosphere.
I had a mini blip of nerves after day two of my DAS training but under the watchful eye and calm instruction of Shane and Ossie I went on to pass first time and now super excited to be looking for my first motorbike :)
Thanks Ossie and Tina and A2Z x
v. P.
I was referred by a friend and when I got in touch it was plain sailing from cbt to obtaining full licence.
. Tina in charge of administration very friendly helpful and professional always explaining everything clearly and patiently. ... Ossie always relaxed hands on proprietor who helps you every step of the way with friendly and professional manner I spend my test day with Ossie as Shane the instructor whom I spend 4 days of training with, was off that day. If you ever join A2Z rider training you will have a great experience as well as a licence (all right. . Yea) is one of Shane's lines.. He is another great member of the team with a great personality. I like to thank everyone at A2Z Rider training for making my training a great experience to always remember (alright yea).
A. S.
Did my CBT at A2Z today and it was a very pleasant experience. The instructor Stuart was very knowledgeable and professional. He was also very considerate and patient with me and gave me extra time and tips to practice the manoeuvres as I was new to riding and had no experience thus it took me considerably longer to get used to the bike etc, Thank you guys
K.
Having never been on a bike prior to doing my CBT just over 3 months ago to now having successfully completed the Mod 2, I cannot highly recommend A2Z enough. The DAS course was very well structured to get a novice biker like me up to test standard and beyond. Both Ossie and Shane are a wealth of knowledge and are very approachable and friendly. Their teaching techniques are simply amazing and they have such an eye for detail in moulding you to be a better rider. The Yam MT07 bikes are all new and make a lovely bike to learn riding on.
Thank you to Tina, Ossie and Shane for guiding me through what has been a successful and safe journey.
R. B.
Did my CBT on a geared motorcycle on a saturday and it was an amazing experience. Compared to my first expired CBT over five years ago with a different school which was miserable, crowded and unprofessional these guys are setting an example as to how to run a rider training. Absolutely fantastic day out and Shane was the trainer who handled learners with the most patient and professional manners. Highly recommended, these guys are the best, don't look elsewhere for your training. So impressed I will be booking my DAS with them next month. There are toilets nearby and a petrol station next door to buy food and drinks.
r. i.
I highly recommend A2Z. They helped me on my journey from my CBT (as an absolute beginner) to passing my mod 2 a few weeks later, at the first attempt! They are knowledgeable, professional and genuinely enjoy what they do. These guys know their stuff! The larger bikes are spotless, well maintained and rider-friendly. I learned so much with Ossie and Shane and had a lot of fun along the way. Also Tina who handles the booking was faultless. Always contactable, courteous and super efficient. Needless to say I was very pleased and highly recommend A2Z to anyone considering motorcycle training, regardless of level.
N. G.
A2Z are a fantastic training school, brilliant instructors and brilliant bikes! I recently past my Mod 1 and Mod 2 first time thanks to Ossie and Shane’s incredible teaching and instruction. Big thanks to Tina for being super efficient with the administrative side of things as-well. Highly recommend A2Z motorcycle training.
B. H.
Took my son for his first CBT and was very apprehensive as he is only 16. I was pleasantly surprised as the team are very professional and they go through the whole process so everyone understands. I felt so much better after speaking to Ozzy who runs the rider training. He allowed me to stay and watch the whole training so I know my son is confident enough to be on the road. What a great friendly team the have there and I highly recommend them.
M.
Great school. Great instructors. Shane and Fluffy are excellent and make learning how to ride a bike very fun.
Did my 5-day DAS course with Shane and passed Mod1 & 2 first try. No previous riding experience.
G. W.
So u want to learn to ride ?
Well this is the rider training school for you !
From the booking of the DAS course from Tina and onto the training on the bikes from Rob , you couldnt ask for any more with the way these guys run thier rider training school
Professional service , great people , superb rider training from a great and professional instructor , what more do u need ,theyve got it spot on with what they do
Would recommend anyone that wants to learn to ride weather it be a cbt or full DAS course to go and book up with A TO Z Riding School
you wont be dissapointed
These guys are just great to learn with
From riding the bikes on the 1st day to learning how to ride safely and onto the day of my tests Passing mod 1 and mod 2 on same day with these guys, couldnt be more happier! !
Thanks Alot Guys !

I've done a number of courses with this brilliant training school. The training I received was consistently clear and easy to understand and the team is very friendly. If you've been on the road long enough to have good road sense and are confident on two wheels, renewing a CBT can be quite a bore, to say the least. The guys at a2z make the course seem like less of a tedious chore (dare I say fun?) and are very informative. I was quite nervous starting my A2 licence training, having little experience on a geared bike and none on anything bigger than a 125. My anxieties were quickly dispelled by Ozzie who has a knack for restoring your confidence and adapting his training depending on your abilities: cementing strengths and improving on weaknesses. He is also very patient and extremely supportive- both important qualities for teaching.
Though you may find a cheaper course elsewhere, you feel like you get your money's worth with these guys- it makes all the difference to train with friendly staff who believe in what they do. I'll be back to do my unrestricted licence!
Thanks for all your help
All the best,
Lucien
M. K.
I’ve got my cbt today and I’m very happy to meet with that guys they’re really know what to do.They’re very kind and they’re know how to teach and keep yourself comfortable to get your cbt. I 100% recommend that.Not even think or search any other places.Especially Alpha Motorcycle Training which is the worst one as you’ll realise on their reviews.Stay very far away from them.

Top top training school. Did my CBT, geared conversion course and DAS with these guys and passed my full license on my first attempt today. If you turn up with the right attitude they will get you riding safely and coach you through the tests in a lot of detail. The instructors are passionate, they really are top calibre and overall it's a very well run and organised unit from making bookings to post-test advice.
Thanks guys - I really enjoyed the course.
S. D.
Completed my DAS with instructors Shane and Fluffy over a 5 day course. Passed my MOD1 and MOD2 on the fifth day on the first try with only a couple minors!
My only experience with geared bikes prior to a2z was two geared conversion lessons.
I couldn't be happier with my a2z experience! Very knowledgeable instructors that know how to teach! Thank you Shane and Fluffy!

I’ve just completed the CBT course on the Honda 125 having had no experience of motorbikes. The training team were really good, guiding me through all of the basics before taking me out on the roads around Wood Green. The guys are all very professional, but also good fun; I felt that I was in really safe hands under the guidance of Rob, Ozzie and Fluff??? There was another trainee who took a little longer to master the bike, and it was good to see that he wasn’t pushed into going out onto the roads; instead given the time ‘off road’ to get to grips with the bike. I shall definitely be following up with the Direct Access Course as soon as I can convince my wife that it’s a good idea!
C. S.
Don't even know where to start. All i want to say is A2Z Rider training is the one. Had the best riding experience of my life, did my CBT and my direct access with them and i enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks to Ossie and Tina, who made everything simple to understand. Very friendly instructors and these guys are really good at what they do. Looking forward in doing my advance ridding with Ossie but for now it's rock and roll on a bigger bike.

Rob and gen are great instructors and helped me learn to ride
Thanks guys so much
N. R.
Best place to do your CBT. The trainers are excellent, funny and talented. They made me confident on the road. Thank you so much
M. M.
Great company. I trained with "Fluffy" & Shane - both of which took me from an inexperienced rider with only a small amount of 125cc geared bike experience to passing my Mod 1 & Mod 2 on the same day. The CBT course they run is also very good and gets you to a decent level.
s. e.
Excellent instructors, I went in for DAS course with only my CBT and no other on-road experience, passed Mod 1 on first try, and Mod 2 on my second try, both with no faults! Bikes are very good as well - '16 and '17 MT07, which makes learning to ride here a great experience.
H. T. B.
I used A2Z for my CBT and had a really great experience. The instructors were all very informative and really calm and approachable. Being female, this can be an intimidating world to walk into but the team made me feel so at ease that I got through the day and enjoyed the experience in doing so. Will use them to complete the full licence and recommend to anyone - with experience or who has not even sat on a bike before.
A. B.
Had my CBT today with these guys and Ozzie was brilliant, from the minute I turned up, he was friendly and welcoming, explained everything clearly and simply to understand step by step. Would definitely recommend to everyone who needs a bike certificate! Thanks again!
S. d. R.
Just passed my A license there. I can only say that I had a fantastic time. Shaun and Ozzie are outstanding instructors and their pedagogy is top notch. You can feel the experience they gained within 20 years of teaching, bringing you knowledge and confidence. I recommend them warmly. Thank you very much Tina & Al for all the help you've provided and your never ending work hours. A2Z really felt like a family.

I recently completed the full access course with Ozzie and Tina. I have to say that the experience was first class. Ozzie is a great instructor; very knowledgeable and patient, but also great at making sure you actually enjoy the week!
The course with A2Z was a little more expensive than some of the other local providers, but the main reason for this is that Ozzie hires out the actual DSA test centre to train you for mod 1 - an invaluable part of the course and worth every penny.
Getting a motorbike license can be a time consuming and costly process these days, its really worthwhile finding a decent training school to give the best chance of passing. I'd definitely recommend A2Z
G. F.
I booked a CBT course with a2z based on the great reviews I read whist trying to decide which school to go for and I couldn't have hoped for any better.
Despite being an experienced road user, I had no prior experience on a scooter.
With help from all three instructors on the day (Ossie, Gen & Richard) I managed to go from novice to feeling very comfortable riding on the roads.
Needless to say, I passed and will be back in two years to renew.
Everything from calling and booking with Tina to getting my certificate was very professional and easy to understand.
Couldn't recommend them highly enough.
B. S.
A really great experience to learn with A2Z. Tina was really helpful in arranging my geared CBT, and then very patient while I kept changing the date to do the DAS. Ozzy was patient, clear with instructions and good humoured, making the learning very enjoyable. And the bikes we used were brand new - ideal to learn on. I've now got my licence - very happy indeed!
S. M.
Went to renew my CBT after 2 years. The staff are freindly and awesome. They teach you everything you need to know, the training is excellent and enjoyable, and also affordable, with equipments also provided during the course. Its in "White hart lane, wood green N22 5QW", next to the new river and fitness center, its very big and easy to ride around the place. I would defenetly be back here after my CBT expires, and i recommend these who want to learn to ride mopeds to come here. 5* from me.
U. U.
When we went together with the Mrs to do our CBT test, Ossie was very friendly and approachable together with 2 other chaps (I totally forgotten their names unfortunately). Possibly they are getting a loads of crazy questions, but all three gents are answering them with humor and great patience and infinite knowledge. They all made sure we are comfortable on the bikes and the environment. It was a lovely experience.
And Tina is like a super women... Like no kidding.. She is running a company with 2 kids and taking us as the customers on board with great patience and knowledge. They all made sure we are really looked after. Also not to forget there is a reason for why they have such a high passing rate. Can`t recommend them enough.
The team is lovely group of people also they are really in for the love of biking and it happens to be paying well too, BUT they are not in all for taking your money. Really appreciate this attitude. Thanks again to all of you.
T. D.
First class, and professional throughout.
I did the CBT and then the Direct Access Course to get a full license, and from beginning to end it was everything they promised.
Tina was great with communication and admin, and worked with me to accommodate a difficult schedule.
Ozzy and his team doing the CBT were all ex-military, paratroopers and marines, with decades of experience, and they were great at giving clear instructions and working with all kinds of people. I had some riding experience, but 20 years ago on a learner bike, and I was very pleased that they helped me regain my confidence and quickly recognised that I didn't need every last bit of the basic training in the CBT, and worked with me to get my confidence back. I was very impressed with the direct and honest way they dealt with another rider whose skills didn't match his ambitions, and they obviously had his best interests at heart in helping him to adjust his ambitions to his ability.
When I moved on to the Direct Access Course, I had Shane as an instructor, and couldn't have asked for anyone better. He was patient, clear, and having been an examiner in the past, brought an insiders view to the whole testing process.
I liked the way they took us regularly to the test centre, and got us familiar with the roads around there, and also the atmosphere inside. That meant that when the day came, there were no surprises, and I'm grateful to have got through first time.
I met others who were retesting after making unfortunate mistakes on the day, but they seemed, like me, to have been thoroughly impressed with their training and the friendly banter. By the end of what was a very short course, it seemed like we were all leaving as friends.
Well done Tina, Ozzy, Shane, and "Fluffy" -- yes, that's what they call him, but he's about 6'3" and an ex marine, so I guess he get's to be called what he wants!
L. B.
Completed my CBT today. Lovely instructors, quality rental equipment and good explanations. Passed first time. Would definitely recommend for beginner riders.
W. W.
I've just finished a 5 day Direct Access Scheme with A2Z. It was a fantastic experience and took me from total novice (never sat on a big bike) to passing my module 1 & 2 in a week!
Organisation:
Thoroughly professional and reputable organisation. Tina organises everything and will sort out a program that works for you!
Bikes:
Lovely new Yamaha MT07 bikes. 700cc with ABS. Perfect bikes, very easy to ride and mechanically sound. ABS was essential for my over zealous right foot in the emergency stop.
Trainers:
Motorbike training comes down to the trainers. Shane and Fluffy run the DAS training and are simply phenomenal. Hugely experienced and very patient teachers. They look at your riding personally and will pick out the details that will catch you out on test day. Shane is an ex-examiner so knows all the tricks to get you through & Fluffy is brilliant at getting your head around the mental side of the test.
Overall:
100% recommended. Awesome.
M. B.
I recently passed my Module 1 & 2 first time after completing the 5 day DAS course. The whole experience was great from initially arranging appointments with Tina then riding with Ossie and Shane.
For the road training the instruction I received from Shane was outstanding, he is very experienced, knowledgeable, informative, calm and patient. Shane was previously a DSA test examiner which is a great advantage having someone who knows how to train you to ride safely. It was beneficial that most of the time on the bike was like a mock test, preparing for the real ones.
Some other schools may appear less expensive but may not state you need to hire a bike and also have an instructor with you on the day of your test so this must be factored in. The bike was a perfectly maintained new Yamaha MT-07 with ABS which was a great bike to carry out the training and tests on. Another main difference is that we carried out a morning training session on the module 1 course at the Enfield test centre.
I would not hesitate in recommending A2Z for any form of rider training and will be taking some advanced rider training in the near future.
Thanks again to Tina, Ossie and Shane.
All the best,
Michael
J. K.
Passed both Mod 1 & 2 (DAS geared big bike) today at first attempt. My principal trainer was Shane who as an ex-examiner speaks with authority. However he is human and has been known to smile. His cohort Fluffy got me out on the road on the 700cc last Saturday week.
But don't expect to just do this in 4 days and pass this test. I did 2 extra lessons on big bike and hired a 125 for 10days. These guys are ex military so just take orders and get on with it.
If a contrary 57 year old can pass this test: anyone can!
m. w.
Overall great experience at this school. Have to say a special thanks to Tina for getting my training booked on short notice and to Shane’s excellent training to get me through my test first try. When it came to test day I felt fully confident and relaxed because of the training I received. Would recommend to anyone thinking of doing their CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2.
J. F.
Words cannot explain fully just how good A2Z Rider Training services are! From my first phone call to Tina to the successful passing of both tests with Ossie, I was looked after superbly. No matter what type of person you are, Ossie will quickly understand the best way to teach you and cater the course to your needs. Having experienced a few different instructors in my time I feel I should say that none came close to the effectiveness of Ossie's style. He is infinitely patient, answers all of your questions by explaining theory, gives you enough freedom to find your own riding style and in doing so builds a great affinity between you and the machine. Myself and another learner called Tom had an awesome time on the course, having great laughs and fun as well as all the learning, it is pitched just perfectly. I honestly don't think I'd have passed first time using one of the other schools, A2Z's service is so welcoming and comprehensive I would not hesitate to recommend them to others looking for the DAS. In fact 'd suggest you owe it to yourself to get the best tuition around, and as far as I'm concerned money cannot buy better than A2Z. Thanks again Ossie and Tina, I'll be sure to pop in and say hello in the future

The best place I could have ever dreamt of taking my test. I had a shaky start at another riding school and changed to A2Z, i'm so grateful I did. They're a family run business who really do care. Tina and Ozzie are incredible and make you feel comfortable and reassured throughout. Shane my instructor was endlessly encouraging, supportive, patient and teaches like a pro having been an examiner before. Thanks Shane, I hope you read this cause you really are the best, you went above and beyond to teach me. Dear hilarious lovely Fluffy the other instructor on the team is superb. They both work so well together, they make a tough situation fun and enjoyable, being female, petite and 5'2, I didn't take to it straight away but with their support and perseverance and Tinas endless kind words on the phone. I passed both my MOD 1 & 2. Thanks to you all, you're truly brilliant. Cannot recommend you enough :) Lucie <3
R. B.
Today was my first time ever to drive a moped and i was so nervous, but once i got there i was at ease because of the instructors was friendly and i passed. Great place to learn i would recommend 100%, plus theres a chicken shop at the petrol pump next door so you can go there for lunch, was quick and easy to learn here. Regards, Ruman

I chose A2Z because of both their location and their reviews. I took my CBT through them, which I thoroughly enjoyed, closely followed by my Direct Access. Tina's guidance on the phone was invaluable, with advice on when to book which course/theory test etc. The Direct Access instructors approach could possibly be referred to as 'direct', but with good reason. My advice: Choose A2Z for your training. Whatever you think of their approach, leave your ego at the gate when you go in, and do exactly what the instructors are telling you. By around day-3, you'll realise why. Very glad I chose A2Z.
H. W.
Had my CBT today and really enjoyed it! Instructors were calm and very knowledgable! No pressure to do anything we didn’t want to do (not that there was anything, I felt relaxed about doing everything) took our time building confidence for the road! John took us out on the main road and I didn’t feel panicked at all! Also a nod to Tina who took my booking- very friendly! A very nice team indeed!
Highly reccomend! I shall be back when my 2 years are up!!
Thanks again

I completed my CBT and DAS course with A2Z and passed all first time!
The CBT is an hour in a car park followed by 120 mins on the quiet residential roads around Islington. If you're doing the DAS then you can complete the CBT on a manual geared 125, which is a good starter towards the big bike. CBTs are done in groups of 6, which can split to ensure groupings of similar ability.
Tina did a great job at scheduling the DAS course around my diary, which was 4 days training (6 hours a day) followed by both mod 1 & 2 tests on the 5th day.
Day 1 is an introduction to the big bike, of which A2Z have a fleet of brand new Yamaha MT07 ABS which are great to ride a look wicked (so much so I picked mine up yesterday!). You'll spend the first day riding around Islington learning junction discipline and then the remaining days are up around Enfield, Waltham Abbey and Chingford which are where the mod 2 test routes are, picking out specific tricky potential parts of test routes to practice. The great approach to the training is that time isn't spent riding around cones in preparation for mod 1, it's spent riding on the roads of which the scenarios you ride are then related back to the types of maneuvers on mod 1 exercises, killing two birds with one stone.
Every day will rendez-vous at the DVSA test centre, to get used to the surroundings of the test centre and where the mod 1 test is held - there are opportunities to watch each exercise in test and on the 4 day A2Z take you onto the Mod 1 yard to do practice runs of each exercise before the test on day 5 (not all schools do this). It's clear that A2Z really commit and pride themselves on a 95%+ pass rate on mod 1!
The DAS is completed with 1 other student, so 2 students to 1 instructor. Ossie and Shane are absolutely fantastic instructors - clearly are both experienced, safe and credible riders and instructors (Shane used to be an examiner, which is great experience for mock tests). But mostly, they're a good laugh, patient and tailor the course to your needs and areas of development. Tina runs the show and all runs brilliantly! My mod 2 test got cancelled by the DVSA but Tina managed to get me rebooked in weeks rather than the 3 months the DVSA were quoting!
Overall, if I could give these guys 6 stars I would - the whole course from start to finish was enjoyable, great quality and without any issues. My perception was that A2Z are head and shoulders above the other schools you see up at the test centre in professionalism and genuine care for students success.
Thanks a lot, guys - I'll definitely be seeing you in the future for some advanced training!

I’m that person who reads reviews before I go somewhere...I look at the good and the bad to make a first judgement...Yes you can get fake reviews but with this place in particular It favours on the positives so I decided to see for myself...Upon arrival I was greeted with ozzy who was very kind and welcoming like he reviews state. He asked all the right questions as I was doing a automatic to manual conversion course...I had my cbt on a automatic and wanted to make the transition and this place had the course to offer at a good rate! Automatics are modern 50ccs and geared bikes are modern 125ccs
My instructor for the day was Shane, he asked me wether I have ridden a manual bike before, my reply was no but he reassured me that it was not a problem and took the time to go through the very basics.
Within 10minutes of having Shane’s time and patience, I already caught onto the basics. By the time a hour came I was ready to go on my own motorbike!
The reviews are definitely legit, very friendly, patient and professional staff all around.
Definitely recommend this place for anyone who is new to riding who want to take their CBT...Anyone who want to do a gear conversion course, and anyone who wants to take their A1&A2 course because I know I definitely will be back for that!
All the best guys! Keep it up 👍
P.s this would not have been possible without Tina who is lovely and made al the appointments possible
S. L.
What a fantastic riding school this is. Ozzie and the team were truly dedicated to helping me pass first time in a fun, safe and easy way. My instructor Shane was a font of motorcycle knowledge, imparting riding skill perfectly (just don't get him talking about golf! 😁).
Their fleet of bikes is in top nick and ideal for honing your bike prowess. Finally, getting to practice the module 1 test on Enfield's DVSA test centre lot, where I would be genuinely tested the next day, couldn't have been better. It made for a nerve free feeling that I'm sure helped me pass first time.
Thanks again guys!
S. H.
Did my CBT and Ozzy and staff were amazingly helpful, friendly, informative and all in all great teachers. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone needing a CBT
M. O.
Just finished my DAS with A2Z and passed my Mod 1 & 2 first time!
The whole process was straight forward and enjoyable. The instructors were great and made me feel comfortable on the bigger bike in no time. You won't be sorry to go through A2Z!
Thanks again to all the staff, delighted with the service :)
M. L.
Taking my motorbike licence was something I'd wanted to do for years, but had always been worried about the safety of a bike, feeling vulnerable and making sure I found a riding school that understood that.
I booked my CBT with these guys and was taken out on the road by Shane who as well as being an absolutely great guy, was incredibly helpful when it came to making sure we did things thoroughly. CBT passed, job done.
I decided then to take my full licence through their DAS scheme to progress onto the bigger bikes. Again I requested Shane but also had contact with Ozzie during this period. Both these guys put safety at the forefront of teaching and not once did I have to worry about riding on the road. It's very easy to think of an instructor as the guy who has to say specific things to you, guide you, and ultimately that can make people nervous. By creating a warm teaching environment, both Ozzie and Shane helped myself relax and riding a bigger bike became natural in no time.
They were thorough in making sure that I was prepared for riding a bike on the road as well as under exam conditions and ultimately I felt confident going into my test.
Can't thank these guys enough for a great learning experience! Far more enjoyable than my car licence!
Recommend to anyone!
V. V.
I went for my CBT course.When I got there,they were so nice,helpful,friendly when I was doing my test.I recommend using this company,if you going for bike course.
I would like to thank you very much for all your hard work.
J. S.
Booked in to do my DAS with the friendly helpful Tina. Ozzie was a great instructor - very encouraging, knowledgable but to the point. Only myself and another student of a similar level so really personal training. Got a good 3 days riding on low mileage 09 xj6's so nice new bikes, getting used to the bike, learning the drills etc before we took our Mod 1 & 2 tests, and both passed first time with a couple of minors. Overall, very happy with the level of instruction, quality of equipment, friendliness. Use these guys!
I. J.
After doing a decent amount of research into where to do my DAS, Im glad I chose A2Z, after being recommended by a colleague. Myself and a friend went along to do the free assessment and almost immediately I could tell this was a good place.
Great atmosphere, well maintained bikes, friendly, knowledgable guys who obviously cared about the job and getting us trained, rather than just churning out people constantly.
Shane was our instructor for the majority of the time, along with Ossie, both of who were able to answer all our questions and suitably prepare us for the tests, which we both passed first time. Plenty of communication and feedback on our progress/performance, so I could really feel my progression during the 4 days training.
A2Z are one of few schools which hire out the mod 1 test course for a practice session, which really was invaluable to me, I was more nervous about mod 1 than mod 2, but I passed (both modules) with no faults, which I certainly couldn't have done without the practice session on the mod 1 course and the guidance from Shane and Ossie.
A big thanks as well to Tina over email, who helped us getting everything booked. It's always nice to have a quick, real reply rather than a "copy and paste" reply sent to everyone.
Can't fault A2Z and can't recommend them enough.
V. P.
Had a great experience with A2Z rider training. Instructors have bags of experience to put you in the best conditions possible for mod1/mod2.
Compare to other riding schools, a2z have access to the mod1 facilities in enfield which is a real plus as you can have dry test run before your mod1. Can only highly recommend
N. S.
Booked to do my CBT here at the weekend. The day was well structured, great equipment and informative. What really stood out though was how dedicated and professional the team were. They took a genuine interest in each member of the class and you could see they really cared. Had the best day and will definitely come back to complete the rest of my motorbike licence. Thank you Gen, Ossie and Sebastian!
D. A.
During my CBT with A2Z I got very impressed with the level of commitment from all the instructors and chose to stay with them for my DAS training. I certainly did not regret the decision as the 4-day course enabled me to pass both modules 1 & 2 first time.
The training schedule was customised to accommodate my work calendar and Ossie (the instructor) covered every single detail that counts on test day.
The intensity of the 4-day course is just about right: we went straight onto the big bikes, spending the first two days on slow roads in Islington. This enabled me to get used to the machine and build confidence to move onto busier roads on days 3 & 4. Ossie is very thorough and did not let me develop any bad habits I would have inevitably picked up while riding on my own. The entire training was designed around test requirements while progressing at my pace and making me feel safe on the bike. I cannot believe how much we covered during those 4 days and had built up maximum confidence for the test.
Ossie gave me a lot of good tips and overall the training became an enjoyable riding experience!
Thank you also to Tina for being always so accommodative and responsive.
Overall, A2Z has everything you would hope for while picking up a driving school: serious, thorough, responsive and laid-back.
I would definitely recommend A2Z !!
t. b.
An absolutely brilliant team of people working to make you the best rider on the roads.
Did my DAS with these guys and it was great. Everybody at A2Z makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.
I would highly recommend them to anybody thinking about getting their licence.
The bikes they use are lovely and new.
R. H.
Excellent school for DAS Training. Shane and Ossie are great teachers and do great prep for the exam. Highly recommend them. I had zero experience and very limited driving even after my CBT so they did a great job with me! Thanks!
S. A.
Amazing !
I had zero experience on two wheels before deciding I wanted to get my full licence. Saw the amount of positive reviews on Google, so I decided straight away to go with A2Z. I did my CBT, Gear Conversion and DAS.
Tina was my first point of contact who booked all my training and answered any questions or queries I had. Thank you again Tina.
Tony took me through the CBT, extremely helpful and professional. Thanks Tony.
Ozzie was my instructor for the DAS, who helped me pass both module 1 & 2 first time. Considering I had no experience on a bike, I believe that's a testament to how good an instructor Ozzie is.
The knowledge Ozzie brings is truly invaluable. He was always calm, relaxed, understanding and very patient. Ozzie's communication and peope skills are fantastic, he knew exactly how to keep me relaxed when I was nervous.
Shane was also another instructor who was always there to help when needed, thanks Shane.
A massive thank you to the whole A2Z family again, especially Ozzie for helping me pass first time!
K. H.
Having previously done my CBT, I recently did my DAS training also with A2Z and I'm very happy to say I passed Modules 1 & 2 first time! Looking forward to getting on a bigger bike (I'll have to save a few pounds first though!) Ossie's a really fun, friendly trainer and Tina was very helpful and accommodating finding me the most suitable training/test days. Massive thanks guys! I couldn't have done it without you :) I'll be back for the advanced riding course.
A. G.
Did my Das with these guys a couple of months ago, passed first time. Amazing tuition, really helped iron out my 125 bad habits. Have been using what they taught me on the roads and have had a great time riding. Best thing about the whole experience was the free evaluation before I booked anything to make sure I was ready, they are not looking to just take your money, they care that you'll be able to pass and their pass rate shows it. Great school. 10/10. Also they do Das on Mt 07s which are amazing bikes to learn on.
M. S.
What a great team at A2Z, after completing my CBT 2 years ago at another school I decided to get my full A class license. I chose A2Z because of the reviews and it's all legit.
Tina was really organised and got me an assessment pretty quickly with Ossie, her partner in crime.
Ossie's teaching methods are basically: get to know the bike and then learn the manoeuvres. Makes total sense, and that's why after 4 days of lessons I passed my Mod 1 test and Mod 2 test on the same day in heavy rain, first time.
There's no better review than that.
S. T.
Did my CBT with these guys, all went well. My instructor Shane was previously a test examiner so was perfect for the job. I rang up a few days later and asked for training and test for my full licence, but was told they were too busy and they would get back to me which is fair enough but two weeks later and still no phone call. Thankfully I found another school nearby and done my training and passed module 1 & 2 within them 2 weeks and saved myself over £100 what they quoted.
F. E.
I’ve been waiting to write this review for ages! Passed 3rd time. No fault of the instructors just really silly mistakes! The training was supplied by the best possible instructor “Shane” very friendly and made the experience so much fun!!! The best feeling in the world. Thank you to the A2Z family and thank you Tina! All the best
P. N.
I Passed my CBT today and enjoyed the training immensely. The instructors were very helpful and knowledgeable and I found the training really fun. I highly recommend A2Z.
P. J.
Did my CBT course and gear conversion,150 CC road training and 5 day DAS course with Mod 1 and Mod 2 for a full category A unrestricted motorcycle training with A2Z, and can hands down say i have not come across any other school with the same professionalism. All the staff were very friendly and highly skilled trainers. Spacial thanks also to the DAS trainer who made the whole course well worth the money. Highly recommended training center.
S. W.
I recently completed a 5 day DAS with A2Z and was fortunate enough to have passed both Mod 1 and Mod 2 first time. Most of my training was with Shane, who was an excellent teacher, good fun and provided great individualised advice. For example, Shane took extra time covering u turn manoeuvres with me as I was struggling at the beginning with these. Coordination from Tina was superb - not only did she time my days around a challenging work schedule, she promptly rescheduled my module 2 test when the DVSA cancelled it last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. This level of organisation is especially great when you only have a few weeks on your CBT and theory test left! Other fantastic pros of A2Z include training on modern Yamaha MT-07s, spending a day on the actual module 1 site before test day and the central location of Islington for all training day starts. I couldn't recommend them more. I'll be coming back soon for an ERS
R. C.
As a Driving Instructor of 23 years but with limited bike skills Ossie concentrated more on my slow speed riding technique. Practicing on the pad at the test centre site for mod 1 was invaluable as there is nothing like a dress rehearsal.
Training for the mod 2 was pitched perfectly by Ossie as it was more a case of adapting my driving experience for the bike.
I would definitely recommend A2Z for rider training from a professional instructors point of view and also a newbie riders point of view.
Thanks again Ossie hope to see you at the Test Centre. Also thanks to Tina for promptly booking tests around my work schedule.
PS Picking up my Suzuki DL650 this week Ossie.!
M. G.
Great training doing my CBT. The instructor, Ozzy, was very intuitive in noticing who needed more attention and in what areas. Ended in a one on one on the road session and some great advice on where to pickup a helmet, gloves and other things. See you in two years
C. F.
Just obtained my full bike license and wanted to say it was a great experience to learn with your riding school.
Many thanks to Tina and Ossie for your help and patience, both over the phone and on the bike. Top instruction, and you really put my nerves at rest to help me pass in rain and in shine!
Very best wishes and thanks again.
s. m.
The instructors were beyond experienced. Stuart is an ex-examiner, and knows what he's chatting about. Rob was an ex-police motorcycle rider and I think he had more years under his belt than I've been alive!!
I'm pretty sure the school is the only one that allows you to practice on the Mod1 site the Sunday before your test. So you're literally test-ready not suggestively test ready.
Of the 3 others I did my Mod1 with 3 of us got no minors and the other guy got 1.
They prepare you for the Mod2 thoroughly basically testing your testable ability on every road ride and providing truly thorough feedback on your ride.
I can't fault them, they block book so if you pass your mod1, you'll be taking your mod2 the same day 😊
Ultimately I passed, so I have much love for this school!!

I just completed my DAS training with A2Z and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for great quality motorcycle training. Shane was a fantastic instructor, extremely experienced and a great coach. Thanks to him and the rest of the team for all of their help, much appreciated!
L. D.
I cannot recommend the team at A2Z more! I booked onto a five day DAS course having had a bad CBT experience at another school so was fairly nervous going in. Ozzie and Shane put me at ease straight away and I never felt like I was pushed too soon. They have great banter and their teaching style is second to none. I always came away from every session having learnt so much. Special thanks to Tina for putting up with my endless questions and for booking me in (and I suspect, for keeping the boys in check too!). Please please go and see A2Z if you are thinking about getting on two wheels!

I’ve been riding in London with CBT and i contacted a2z to have my full licence and surprisingly in few lessons I had so much information and a great instructor giving me good tips and advice so that I passed my exam at the first try. Was a great experience! Now I have full license and so proud of myself.
Thanks to A2Z.

Fantastic school, Fluffy was my instructor for the DAS and we ended up riding with Shane on most days. Great banter between the 2 of them and the students.
The teaching standards are pretty high, I kept 'failing' my mock tests with Fluffy and yet passed module 1 & 2 first time. Clearly the method works. Would recommend!
T. H.
Went from never having ridden a geared bike to passing both my Mod 1 and 2 tests first time thanks to A2Z. Ossie and Shane are great instructors and when test time came I felt more than ready. Highly recommended!
M. A.
Passed DAS first time with A2Z.
Ozzie is a fantastic instructor with a lot of patience (not that he needed that with me - except for the u-turn practices) and good humour (which makes all the difference) and plenty of knowledge and experience of riding (safely I might add).
Tina also took care of everything with just one phone call. Didn't have to worry about booking the tests, fees or anything. Just turn up and start learning.
Fantastic new bikes and good gear.
Overall one of the best experience I've had and would highly recommend A2Z to anyone, whether its CBT or DAS.
Thanks Ozzie and Tina, just ordered my brand new bike!
S. C.
Fantastic! Helped me pass my Cbt, and full bike license. Special mentions to Ozzie and Shane who are wonderful instructors and make you feel at ease while riding at all times. Also Tina who makes booking courses and lessons so easy. Thank you again!
L. R. (.
I started with A2Z with a CBT back in July 2016, I contacted Tina and was helped with all the questions I had. With instruction from Sebastian, I completed the course first time. (If you want to take your CBT on a geared bike make sure you mention it when you book the course)
After completing my CBT I knew I wanted to take my full licence. I had never ridden a motorbike before so I wanted the best training possible. I looked around. And I mean looked around! I wanted to find the best cheapest option for tutelage. After months of research; my previous experience with A2Z plus the reviews on and off their site I knew it was best to stay with them. They are not the cheapest, but as they say you pay for what you get.
I also took a Gear conversion course with A2Z to get some more experience on a geared bike. I did my CBT on a scooter. During my Gear conversion course Ossie kept an eye on me since I had my DAS a few days after that. After my Gear conversion Ossie recommended that I rent a bike during the time I had leading up to my DAS to ensure a first time pass. While I didn’t bank on renting a bike it was good advice and helped tremendously towards me passing my DAS on November 2016 first time. During my DAS I was trained by Shane, Shane bestowed his sage wisdom with a tough and fair assessment throughout. He really helped iron out the kinks and prepare me for test conditions and road riding.
I would wholeheartedly recommend A2Z to anyone sitting on the fence. For any newbies I would recommend talking to Tina about renting a bike; also do a lot of research about common rider mistakes online, if you intend to do your full licence for a smoother transition.
Thank you again A2Z family, for a smooth transition into the world of motorcycles.
J. W.
Just helped me through my DAS course first time. They have really good bikes and very patient instructors.
Thanks so much to Rob and Shane for all your advice, you gave me the best platform that you could have on my 5 day intensive course and I'm so glad I was able to convert that into a pass.
R. B.
I decided to go with this school because of the good online reviews, where ppl stated that although the price isn't the cheapest, it's definitely worth it. I had an amazing experience from the moment I spoke with Tina on the phone all the way through the lessons with Ossie and Shane. Although I had a couple of thousand miles of experience riding in the USA, I had close to no experience in UK and went with the 4 day DAS course on the brand new Yamaha MT-07 ABS version (amazing bikes). We did the tests in the Enfield test Centre and I passed my Mod 1 1st time and Mod 2 2nd time (probably failed Mod 2 because I didn't do the 5th day of the DAS course, which was a mock Mod 2 exam!). These are great chaps, patient, articulate, calm, experient, knowledgeable and love a good banter. Wish you guys all the best and hope to see you around, guys.
A. G.
A2Z is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle. I did my CBT and DAS course with them and went from having no experience on UK roads to feeling confident on UK roads, roundabouts, and passing the test first try. Ossie, Shane, and Tina run a tight operation, and Ossie and Shane are extremely patient a knowledgeable when answering questions and critiquing your riding. Great set of Yamaha MT-07's to zip around on too for the DAS course. Would highly recommend A2Z.
J. R.
Just want to say a big thanks to Ossie for helping me through the DAS course. Everything was great, the course was well structured, enjoyable, and feedback helpful and spot on. The bikes they use are really new and good quality, and the way they organise everything works perfectly and gives you the best chance of passing. I passed both tests first time, so I can't say fairer than that. Also did my CBT with them last year and I would recommend that just as much. Great stuff, thanks Ossie and Tina, all the best.
A. T.
Passed my mod 1 & 2 Direct Access first time after doing a 5 day training course with A2Z. Two great instructors Oz and Shane are patient, have a no fuss approach to teaching, and get the job done. Tina was very helpful taking care of the admin side of things. Highly recommend A2Z.
R. C.
i passed my DAS with A2Z and wanted to feedback on the experience i had with Tina and Ossie,
firstly the service, organisation (they taylored the training around our work hours when possible) was spotless, Tina is always available, genuinely trying to give the best service and that shows,
Ossie was excellent as an instructor, everything he says will help you succeed, atmosphere was laid back, training was progressive, the perfect setup for succeeding.
and bikes were in very good conditions.
overall i do recommend anyone to go with them to avoid disappointment.

Did my CBT here today, thank you to all the instructors for their patience and professionalism! 👏👏👏

My first ever time on a bike & left feeling confident to ride my own. Highly recommend! Thank you so much A2Z, see you in 2 years!

A2Z got me through my full license!
Ozzy was a great instructor and the sessions were an enjoyable experience.
Tina was lovely and would get back to me straight away, as soon as i was ready to book my test.
I will be recommending A2Z to my friends!
M. R.
From my CBT through all the DAS practices and module 1 and 2 tests the A2Z training team helped me to obtain a full motorbike licence passing all the tests on the first go.
They were flexible with the schedule and very nice and professional through all the process.
I highly recommend them if you are thinking on taking a CBT or any other motorbike licence. Their fully commitment and the great environment made the experience very enjoyable and extremely efficient without any doubt.
Thanks again to Tina and Ozzie for the massive help.
R. B.
I took the DAS for 5 days with Fluffy in Islington. Fluffy was great, being a scooter driver I had way too many bad habits but fluffy wouldn't stop nagging me until he put me straight and he did not give up on me! The practice at the mode one test center was very helpful as both Shane and Fluffy observed and it gave me so much confidence but unfortunately I got unlucky and failed on the emergency swerve on my first attempt ( so dont look at the inner cone)! I rebooked the test for the following week and passed both Mode 1 and Mode 2. Tina was also very prompt and efficient with communication and organising training and test dates leaving me to focus on the bike riding. I would definitely recommend A2Z they do their best for you to pass. 5 Stars all the way!
P. M.
First off Tina who i spoke with and booked with on the phone was very helpful. Ozzie was very patient and knows his stuff at no point did i feel nervous whilst he was teaching he has a good manner and makes you feel comfortable. Last but not least Gen he was the one taking us out on the road he gave good clear instructions and made us feel at ease. If you want to do your CBT i would have no problem recommending A2Z I will be sending my 16 year old down to take his CBT once his provisional arrives in a couple of weeks.
J. W.
I did my CBT and DAS course with these guys and they were brilliant. Past first time and everything!
All the training was well taught and at the correct pace for everyone on my course.
The bikes we used were MT-07's for the DAS training which were brilliant for learning on.
I would recommend A2Z to anyone!
A. W.
I'd like to say a huge thank you to Ossie and Tina for the great experience I had gaining my motorbike license. I initially booked my CBT with them based on these glowing reviews and very glad I did. The training was excellent and Ozzie makes you feel instantly relaxed turning it into a very fun experience.
After the CBT and a few weeks riding around on a 125cc bike learning some basic road craft I decided to go for my DAS and had no hesitation in going back to A2Z. The DAS was over 5 days and tailored to my ability and experience. This approach combined with Ossie's calm and professional tuition really helped to build confidence and settle nerves. The 4th day of the DAS training on the Mod 1 site was especially valuable and not something the cheaper schools offer. Based on the training I had been given I went into the Mod 1 and 2 tests feeling confident in my ability and subsequently passed first time.
I would highly recommend A2Z. Tina and Ossie made the process of gaining a motorbike license rewarding and ultimately fun!
M. “. U. U.
I have never ride a bike before but with the help of Gen and Richard from A2Z Rider I have successfully completed CBT with a great confidence. Friendly and knowledgable people who helped throughout the training.
Special thanks to Tina....
Highly recommend this training centre and looking forward to do DAS soon.
J. S.
I did my CBT with these guys. Very informative and enjoyable. Even if you have never ridden a motorbike before, they will make sure you get sufficient practise, to give you the confidence to ride safely.
L. B.
I couldn't have chosen a better company to do my CBT with. The trainers were all helpful, patient and friendly, which instantly put me at ease. I felt comfort and safe when I was taken out on the road. The fee was also the cheapest in my local area. Thanks all at A2Z!

I. M.
Having previously done my CBT and this year my DAS with A2Z I am very glad to say that this has to be one of the best options for motorcycle training out there!
Getting a DAS licence can require a lot of dedication, time and ultimately cost - but in any event the entire experience at A2Z (everything from staff to equipment!) is first class and sets you up well for entering the motorcycling world with a feeling that this is ultimately very worth it and done with rider safety as paramount!
E. H.
Getting to grips with a bike can be intimidating as a female rider but from much experience I can heartily recommend Ossie and Tina! Just a lovely pair, and the training is super professional and effective. Took me a couple of tries to get my Mod 2 ticked off (OK, three tries) but they were both so supportive and helpful, I never had any doubt that I'd been more than properly trained, just needed to focus properly. Thanks guys – hope you get a lot more female riders come your way (then I can start a girl gang!). Ossie is a super star for getting me through it and putting up with my backchat ;) xx
G. N.
I can't recommend Ozzie strongly enough! Absolutely fantastic! Very clear and concise instructions meant I felt confident right from the start. His methods on how to train Mod 1 and Mod 2 worked really well.
If you're looking to get your license then he's your man!
Tina was brilliant too, very helpful with getting my training booked at a convenient time and really easy payment process.
Five stars!!
J. N.
Utterly flawless from start to finish. Passed first time, both Mod 1 & 2.
I was incredibly nervous due to poor experiences with other London based schools, but as soon as Tina picked up the phone and talked me through the process, and ways that A2Z differ from other schools, I felt at ease. The unique part about A2Z is that they welcome you to visit their Woodgreen site for a free assessment (on a 125cc) and then Ozzie will recommend (based on that and previous experience) how to proceed. I felt instantly more relaxed with Ozzie who wasn't salesy, wasn't pushy and was always smiling!
As for the actual training, I was assigned Fluffy who ,on first appearances, is a big dude who looks kinda scary! But in reality, Fluffy is incredibly funny with an amazing sense of humor and great stories. During the training he was firm but fair and what I liked in particular was HIS ability (not ours) to adapt based on how I was progressing. In my instance he noticed I needed a few more breaks to not 'burn out'. Fluffy was often accompanied by Shane (another instructor) and both of them combined has a wealth of advice I struggle to see any other school being able to match. They between them also had good banter which was hilarious to watch!
I was fortunate to pass first time, both Mod 1 & 2 and couldn't quite believe it. I regularly doubted myself at the start but Fluffy is quick to get that out of your brain and work with you so you can pass. Look no further and book with A2Z!!
L.
I’ve used A2Z in the past for my CBT training and today for Mod 2 training. Scheduling through Tina is always smooth and reliable, and Ossie’s vast knowledge, professionalism and patience is an impressive combination. His passion for his work comes shining through, and I felt like he genuinely cares about his students. He worked with me today to reverse some bad habits and uncertainties on the road, took time to explain things and broke down the Highway Code into easy to remember formulas. I entered my test a much more confident rider and I am very pleased to share that I passed! I cannot rave about the A2Z team highly enough. Thanks guys!
I. J.
What can i say....
From the moment i called and spoke with Tina to the moment i passed my test with Ozzy it has been an incredible experience. The family run business is professional and training is no nonsense. Ozzy is perfect in the way he teaches students and is extremely patient.
I would recommend this company to anyone looking to pass there CBT or DAS 1,2. The training bikes i learnt on were 2016 Yamaha MT07. No other company i saw had anything near as good as these, i would rather pay a little extra and train with A2Z then go to another cheaper company.
Ozzy, Tina and Shane thank you very much for helping me complete my goals. Ill be back soon for a catch up with the MT07.
Thanks
James.
M. B.
I cannot recommend this family run business enough! Ozy was a great trainer and I've walked away with my motorbike license knowing that I am safe on the roads and that's what is instilled in all riders that are trained through A2Z. I massive bonus for me was actually getting up to the test centre just before I actually took my module 1 to really get a feel for the test track and layout. On the day it felt like a routine run taking away any potential stress. We knew the Enfield area well in advance to taking the module 2 and that also contributed to a relaxing ride on test day. Ozy's strengths are without a doubt making sure that I was safe on the roads and this is paramount for anyone looking to start their training. Highly recommend this whole package as Tina is fantastic at making the bookings and organising the whole process! Thank you!
A. Y.
Did my DAS with Ozzie, I found that he was very instructive and takes the time to prepare you for both test modules. He sat down with me just before my mod 2 test and went through the road conditions and what to expect on my test. If you follow his instructions you would definitely pass your DAS course. I been to another school before and seriously, the service you get from a2z is definitely worth the money. Not to mention the bikes were well serviced. Thanks again to Ozzie and Tina for helping me get my DAS licence!
S. B.
Tina was brilliant organising training for me despite my schedule being a nightmare.
Had Stuart for my DAS training and Fluffy for the test. Cannot thank them enough. They are great trainers and really top blokes. Passed my test first time. Highly recommend this training provider!
K. W.
I picked A2Z because of its overwhelming amount of positive reviews, and now that I've passed my DAS, I'm happy to leave one of my own as well! Communication with Tina was professional and friendly, while training with Ossie was fun and efficient. I had two days of training on bike control around Islington, one day of riding around the Mod 2 area and another day doing mock Mod 1 tests at the actual test site itself in Enfield. The training provided by Ossie led me to pass both tests on the first try. I recommend A2Z to anyone wanting to learn to ride, whether it be CBT or DAS.
B. D.
This is a really easy decision. Do your Advanced Rider Training with A2Z. Full Stop.
I've just completed my unrestricted Mod 1 & 2 via A2Z and it has been nothing but a flawless experience. Let me go into detail:
Let's get the boring part out of the way first. Yes, these guys charge more than other companies in the area... but that comes down to the old adage 'you get what you pay for'. A2Z don't teach you to 'pass a test', rather they teach you to be a confident and safe rider... which makes passing the mod 1 & 2 test easy. I'm sure you'll find cheaper options, but I saw so many other riders using other companies fail their test ... and having spoken to a couple, they said their course was designed to help them pass a test. They hardly spend any time on the open road.
I did my unrestricted rider training with only 1 other person... that meant I had so much one on one time with Ossie (the instructor). And having only one other student meant that we bonded quickly and helped each other learn as we went along.
As for Ossie... well apart from telling bad jokes, he is a top shelf bloke. He is ex military, so he is a no nonsense instructor, clear communicator and a very very good rider. He makes the whole experience fantastic. He and his lovely wife are the whole business, so they are a small independent London company who rely on referrals... so it's in their business to make you pass the 1st time.
Let's talk bikes. The bikes are a year old at best... and to be honest, they ride themselves. ABS, smooth handling and a bit of grunt as well. Ossie often was telling me to "get on with it" which meant we often pulled the throttle back on the carriage way.
We spent quite a few hours on the actual Mod 1 course the day before. That meant by the time I did the Mod 1 course, I'd already done the circuit about a dozen times. So passing with zero minors was easy.
So if you want to take your chance with a cheaper company, be on a course with 5 + people and simply learn how to pass a test, and potentially have to fork our more money if you fail then go elsewhere. If you want to learn how to be a confident rider, safe road user, and have fun then A2Z is your answer. But I think the reviews on this google maps page have told you that already.
Good luck.
M. C.
I really can't see how they could improve!
I can't have been an easy student; I have a short concentration span, bad habits from years of riding a scooter the works. But these guys handled everything amazingly and I PASSED (this morning). I would honestly have given them 5* if I failed both modules (DAS scheme) today though.
They recommended the correct amount of days for me, 4 lesson days and a test day (5 total and even on test day there is a bit of training) others I met did 3 plus test and passed, so they had assessed me and them correctly, no money grabbing.
Also, if you call around and look at prices, you can't see immediately the £ per road or bike mile of different places. So one centre will say a "day" but they might mean 2-4 hours. These guys I did a few days 7am - 1pm! with a few breaks obviously, but you need that time, to adjust and settle in.
Anyway, do your training with them, it is the best, I wish I had done my geared CBT with them too, but this was a very good product.
P.S. 2017 plate 700CC bike with ABS. Nice clutch.
S. C.
Passed my DAS yesterday (Mod1 /Mod2) 1st attempt, Aussie and Shane is an archive of knowledge when it comes to bike ridding, amazing school with the best bikes available in the market definitely best school in London.
Again I can't thank enough to Aussie, Shane and Tina for all the effort they put in to get me through my driving test.
Highly recommended..!!

A2Z Rider Training taught me for both my CBT and Direct Access. Ossie is a very skilled instructor, friendly, attentive and clear in the way he communicates. The CBT quickly got me up to speed with the basics, and a more intensive course built more advanced skills for the Direct Access. Ossie made both fun, interesting and with just 2 of us learning for Direct Access every minute of training was highly productive.
Ossie was great at making us feel comfortable with the bike and developed our control with simple exercises. He drilled us on the Module 1 test site so we were familiar with it and had confidence for the test. Taking us on all kinds of roads, we gained a detailed understanding of what to look for, how to judge each situation and how to stay safe and in control at all times for Module 2.
His wife Tina was a great organiser and fitted the training around my sporadic work as a freelancer. The course is simple - one price includes training, kit hire, bike hire, insurance, DSA fees and refreshments.
I genuinely feel like a safe and experienced rider now even though the intensive course was only a few days. I have the skills and the reflexes to go on and learn more from the road and enjoy the independence that biking gives a rider!
P. R.
What can I say? A superb company providing rider training at the highest level. Ossie, Rob and Fluff were patient, relaxed and funny. Although I had booked a CBT course with the amazing Tina it was not really my aim. I have never been on a bike and I wanted to see if it was something I wanted to do and get a full license. I chose to learn on the 125 geared and as mentioned by a previous reviewer (Hi Rob) I was not exactly taking to it. Rob and Ossie took me to the side and suggested that it may be prudent to spend more time on skills training rather than hitting the road. This was music to my ears! I was given plenty of one to one instruction by Ossie and by the end of the day I felt more confident with gear changes, clutch control etc.
If you chose to book your CBT with these guys you will be confident in the fact that they don’t just tick boxes and pass everyone. You must get up to the required standard before being let out on the road. This is for your safety and the safety of other road users.
I will be retaking my CBT and going forward with the DAS. I will not be looking elsewhere as I have found the best!
Thanks guys, your time, patience and instruction was very much appreciated.

Thank you all for the CBT training. Thank you Tina for such a quick booking. I also have to say a big thank you for Gen one of the best instructors in the school. BTW thank you for the "Free Ride" it was fun "Getting lost" :D
Looking forward for DAS. Keep up the good job everyone, i will definitely recommend the school to everyone who will look up for a good,fun and professional school.
Take care everyone!

Absolutely incredible team. Third CBT with them, couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Special thanks to Ozzy, incredible instructor!
E. S.
I got both my CBT and my license at A2Z school and I recommend it to my friends. Ossie, who taught me how to ride, gave me lots of good advice and made sure I passed the test (on the second attempt but when I failed the first time it was completely my fault). Now when I ride around London, I still hear Ossie's voice in my head: "Every junction tells you something... No unnecessary lifesavers..." :)
J. G.
I did my CBT here. Even though it was a freezing January 8AM Saturday start, it was a lot of fun. Great instructors and team, very helpful throughout the entire day. I learnt a lot, got back on a bike for the first time in years, and now have my CBT! I was lucky and was only with one other guy for the training, which I'm sure helped, but I have no doubt they could teach a group of twenty equally well. I'll be returning to A2Z for my A licence, and any other training I need.
C. B.
Amazing team, really welcoming from start to finish.. Tina made it so easy to arrange and was really helpful. Warm welcome at the new training centre in White Hart Lane, and an absolute pleasure training with you guys.. totally acknowledged I had been riding for a few years and concentrated the training on ironing out my bad habits (boy racer!) which was exactly what I needed.. thanks for everything guys!

Hello my all cbt friends. I done my cbt test yesterday. They r very friendly and professional. I will request to go there .I booked another cbt test for my friend on 12/4/20 .thanks a2z rider training centre
D. S.
There is many rider schools out there and choosing right one isn't that easy. I have decided to go with A2Z as they had best reviews online. Now I will happily add another 5star rating. Professional, straight to the point, no bulls**t, fun, friendly, patient, I could go on forever. And I passed first time with 2 minors. Tina is very helpful with booking and information, Ossie must be the best instructor I've come across in my life, and the instructors I met on CBT are top quality as well. What else do you want ? :)
I have done both CBT and (3 months later) DAS with them. Both courses are pretty much tailored to your needs and requirements (for example - being car driver for over 8 years I picked up some bad habits - as courses passed, I was getting them sorted one by one) CBT was good fun and VERY good preparation to get me going, worth every penny (great instructors, quality motorbikes). 5 days DAS was even better. In fun and professional way, step by step I learned how to handle big bike, how to respect and tame it's power. From slow speeds to national speed limits, all repeated practice made me feel confident, pass DAS without a problem.
I would say that A2Z is an example how motorcycle school should look like and motorcycle training should be conducted. Whoever you are and whatever your needs are - look no further, because this is THE BEST school you can find around. They are initially slightly more expensive than competition, but worth every penny and - if you think about it - all it takes to fail once with other school and you already pumping more money into it. With A2Z you are almost guaranteed to pass. Thank you guys !

I can't thank or recommend Ossie and Tina enough. Following an accident on my 125 I was absolutely petrified of getting back on the bike, but really wanted to get over that. They gave great advise, got me down to the yard to chat, back sitting on a bike and eventually I passed my "big bike" test with flying colours. I wouldn't be back on the bike without their friendly service and expert advise. These are the only people I would *ever* recommend to anyone wanting to get on a bike. They'll give you a great solid knowledge base and build a safe and competent biker out of you. Call them!
N. E. j.
A quick note to thank both of you Oz & Tina, very professional and great instructor. A good team you are forming!
I will definitely recommend your school for anybody who want to get the full motorcycle license.
Thanks again and wish you all the best.

I had a great day doing my CBT here. I was a little intimidated as I'd never ridden a bike before, but there were plenty of instructors, a lot of individual attention and they did a great job. I was quickly on the roads feeling confident! Thanks a2z - maybe see you for my full bike license!
P. W.
2 years ago I did my CBT with A2Z. When I wanted to do my DAS I knew I wanted to come back. From Tina in the office to Shane and Fluffy the instructors, it was a great experience. Highly recommend it to anyone. And I passed first time!!
K. M.
The instructors have great humour, are really accommodating and make it quite fun to learn. Thoroughly recommend them! Did my CBT and plan to do the rest of the training with them to get my full bike licence. Thanks guys!
H. B.
I did all of my training with A27 and they were really great. A nice family place and I felt that I was always being taken care of personally. Ozzy was on time with precision and very thorough indeed with all of the skills, and always asked if we had any questions or were not sure of anything. I went to A2Z because of a recommendation from a friend and I would be happy to do the same!
C. K.
Had a great 4 days, Ozzie was lovely as usual and Tina managed to get everything sorted within a 2 week window, very impressive!
I would highly recommend them as I have always found them super supportive and encouraging. Keep it up guys, maybe one day I will get the big bike test!.
J. P.
I just passed my DAS with A2Z and I am extremely grateful to Tina, Shane and Ozzie. I did all my training with them going from the CBT to the preparation of MOD 1 and 2 and they offered the best possible platform for me to be successful in passing my DAS on the first attempt. They really did everything they could and were very supportive and adaptable to my busy schedule. 100% recommended
L. “. S.
Did a CBT and a geared transition course - although I struggled a bit with the mechanics and road experience as a very young user, I still got a lot done with these guys. Had Fluffy earlier and he's probably the most nice and patient instructor ever. Would recommend.
V. H.
I did my CBT through to direct access with A2Z and really enjoyed all the training the instructor was really friendly and patient with me. They provide a really personal and female friendly service and I passed my test able to confidently and safely ride. Definitely would recommend!
C. W.
I was looking for a small, family-run MCT school with great reviews. I found A2Z on Google Maps and saw their 100% positive reviews. Honestly, I don't think I could've found a better family-run school for my training.
Tina is a pleasure to talk with over the phone. She's well organised, friendly and we instantly got on well both having Irish families. She recommended I come to Islington and meet Ossie and have a quick assessment of my skills to see which course would best suit me.
Ossie is ex-military so he's very meticulous and professional but not at all intimidating. He's patient, up for a laugh and won't rush you through each stage of the learning process until you're comfortable with what you're doing.
My course was with 1 other student. 2 days in Islington practising the fundamentals of bike control on quiet, safe roads. 1 day up in Enfield learning the main roads where we would be doing our Mod 2. 1 morning renting the actual Enfield Test Centre to practise the Mod 1. and 1 morning of doing the Mod 1 test then straight away going out and doing the Mod 2 test.
Unfortunately my partner student failed his Mod 1 so he lost the fees for the Mod 2. That is the slight risk of doing both tests on the same day. The reward for doing both tests on the same day though is not dragging it out over two days stressing you out, and also if you pass both you're done in one morning and ready to go out riding on a full license by lunch! :)
I had a great time learning with Ossie. He's a lovely fella. We joked quite a bit which relaxes you and eases any nerves you might have. The bikes were in very good condition and totally neutral and easy to ride. Yamaha XJ6n.
If I had to nitpick for a negative comment. I would admit I was disappointed that on the 4th day of training. (the renting of the Mod 1 Test Centre) we barely had a morning's worth of practise. (I do think we had plenty of Mod 1 training within that time). But we were done by 11:30am. And I would've preferred to have spent some more hours after that practising the Mod 2 route roads some more.
Like I said, that really was the only negative I could find in an otherwise faultless training experience. And I passed with ease, so it didn't matter anyways.
I would highly recommend A2Z rider training. It was a pleasure to learn with them. Tina & Ossie are fantastic and I wish them all the best!
O.
Rob and jen was a fantastic instructor very generous and kind people the lessons was fun and easy. I would recommend you to go.
K. P.
From the first minute you step into the school everyone is very friendly and it feels like you've known these people forever. I would definitely recommend this place and I will definitely go back to get my full motorcycle licence. Gen & his brother (sorry i forgot his name, I think it was Ahmet, but i'm not sure) were my instructors and bwoooy I tell ya it was fun. They explained everything very well and had the patience to wait for everyone. I would also like to mention that their gear is on point ! motorcycles were really well looked after, their helmets, gloves and bibs were definitely helpful, all in all 6 out 5 stars, that's my personal opinion. Oh yeah and make sure you ride a bicycle a little bit before you take your CBT !!! THAT'S A MUST !!!
C. K.
Oz and his training course is great, couldn't recommend better. My friend and I completed our CBT and full DAS training first time having never ridden bikes before. Brilliant course and well tailored to our needs. Wouldn't go anywhere else.. Enjoy
J. R.
I did my CBT with A2Z last month and I am about to book my DAS. My CBT was such a great experience, all instructors were helpful and easy to talk to. I look forward to the next stage of my training and passing my test.
Thanks to Tina and Ossie.
T. M.
I booked in to have a CBT with A2Z on a Saturday morning after finding them online. I was welcomed by a lovely man by the name of James. He was very welcoming and made you immediately feel relaxed. He then took us through a thorough introduction ensuring we were all comfortable before getting us onto our mopeds. I would strongly recommend A2Z and only have high praise for James and the team.
C. T.
Old school family run business. Rob and Shane are extremely professional instructors. Patiently pointing out key mistakes commonly made on real test routes as well as giving you lots of advanced riding tips along the DAS training course. Highly recommended!
R. J.
I did my CBT (twice) with A2Z and pootled around on a 125 for a couple of years. Then this year decided to do the 5-day DAS and move up to something a bit bigger. Ossie, Tina and the rest of the team were fantastic and made learning fun and (most importantly) safe. The DAS was a great experience. All riding after the initial slow riding is done on the roads around the Enfield test centre, which means that come Mod 2 day I was riding roads I knew. There is also an opportunity to practice Mod 1 on the test site itself, which is really helpful. After a silly mistake on my first Mod 1, Ossie really helped me to regain confidence and get through the subsequent Mod 1 and 2 on the same day. I've recommended plenty of other folk and will continue to do so. Cheers, guys.
B. S.
I completed my CBT and DAS mod 1 and mod 2 with A2Z and all passing first time. Fluffy and Shane were my instructors who were amazing at guiding and instructing us while on the road as well as off explaing where we are going wrong. Highly recommend anyone looking to complete either cbt or das with them. Ken
L. A.
I chose to learn to ride a motorcycle with A2Z because they are the only riding school that I could find consistently good feedback on, and I wasn't disappointed! I have done my CBT and my Direct Access Scheme with A2Z and passed everything first time thanks to their tuition, so now I'm eligible to ride any motorcycle I want which is an amazing feeling.
A2Z is a family run business. I was taught by brothers Ossie (for the Direct Access Scheme) and Gen (CBT and gear familiarisation), and everything was expertly organised by Ossie's wife Tina. You get a very personal service, unlike the big driving schools like I did my car test with years ago. This is a definite bonus because it's obvious they want you to do well and do everything they can to give you the best chance.
Ossie's method for passing the DAS is simple and effective but appears to be virtually unique. You book in to do both your Module 1 (manoeuvers) and Module 2 (road riding) tests on the same day (which is unusual - most people take the tests a few days apart) and he trains you for both tests at the same time over the course of 4 days beforehand. This meant I spent plenty of time bonding with the bike so when it came to manoeuvers like slalom, figure 8, etc. it was a relative breeze. I gather that most riding schools train you only for an afternoon before throwing you in to the Module 1 test, which means you've had minimal time on the bike.
I'd also done lots of research on models of motorcycles so I was pleased to see we were using up to date Yamaha XJ6s for the DAS which have a reputation for being excellent learner bikes.
All I can say is these guys (and gal) took me from never having sat on a bike to getting a full licence within a matter of weeks.
I'm not normally moved to write reviews but A2Z made a nerve wracking process as smooth as possible and got the result I wanted, so I had to share my experience.
A. P.
From the day you initially book your CBT until the day you decide to complete your full license, you can rest assured that A2Z riders will be with you for the journey.
I was apprehensive at first. You see, I love motorcycles but I also had a slight fear of them. So I called up A2Z Riders and spoke to the lovely Tina. She explained the whole process which put my mind at ease. CBT booked, I arrived on the day and completed a series of onsite skills followed by an on road ride.
By then, the bug had truly bitten and I opted to book my Direct Access Coarse for an unrestricted license. Once again, Tina talked me through the whole process and explained that I would be completing my course with Ossie.
So the course dates arrive and I meet Ossie for the first time. He’s a short chap (he'll hate me for saying that, sorry Ossie! ) but super friendly and extremely good at what he does. I believe it’s a combination of those these two things that result in Ossies high pass rates. He's so easy to get along with that it doesn't ever feel uncomfortable.
Well to cut a long story short, A2Z riders comes very highly recommended. I passed both modules 1 and 2 first time. Ossie and Tina, both went out of their way to make the experience extremely enjoyable. As I mentioned earlier, you go through a journey together to get "you" the skills you need to ride safely. If you’re still not sure, my advice is pickup that phone and have a chat with them.
Ossie, Tina and the rest of the crew at A2Z Riders, it’s been a great experience from start to finish. Hopefully catch you guys out for a ride sometime!
Oh and Ossie, thanks for all those coffees you bought me. Worked a treat!
S. G.
I recently passed my A license with Ozzy and Shane having enrolled on a five day course. The course was well organised and well structured which allows you to gain all the skills you need in order to pass both modules 1 and 2. A great feature is that you get to practice on the actual module 1 test centre. A big thanks to the A2Z team!
I. B.
What can I say, it was a wise choice (and a pleasure!) to do my CBT & DAS with the guys from A2Z. From Tina, Ozzy, Fluffy & Shane, every one of them is very helpful, extremely knowledgeable and full credit must go to them for preparing me for my motorcycle Mod 1 & Mod 2 test, which I’ve passed! I would give 6 stars if it was possible! 👍
K. T.
All the instructors were patient, supportive and knowledgeable. I felt welcome and in good hands as soon as I walked on to the site. Overall it was a really fun day and I feel confident enough (and excited!) to hit the roads solo. Would love to see more women giving it a go!
A. a.
Great instructors now i feel so confindent out on the road five star
C. W.
First of all I want to thank Ossie for helping me pass my DAS course absolutely spot on training, I had so much fun on the course it was a pleasure to train with you. Secondly I want to thank Tina for the admin side of it and for helping put my mind at ease when I was contemplating doing the course she arranged for me to meet up with Ossie and discuss the course and it defiantly helped putting my mind to rest. Passed both elements of the DAS course so have now got my full license and I couldn't have done it with out Ossies tuition he was friendly approachable and firm when he needed to be. Worth every penny. Thanks again guys. I would recommend you guys to everyone. If your considering doing your license do it with A2Z.
All the best
Chris
H. S.
Thanks so much Shane (and fluffy) for the awesome training and Tina for the admin and moral support! So happy to have finished my direct access course. You guys were so thorough with the module coverage. Def made test day that much easier. All the best! Dave Scilly
J. S.
Had the best day with these guys!!!
Spent time with each of them and they are all so friendly and excellent teachers! Special shout out to Tony who I went on the roads with he was so calm and really brought out the best in me!
Will be coming back for my A1 test soon!!
Also super easy to book and communication about my booking was really straight forward.
J. B.
Fully recommend A2Z! Just passed my A1 DAS test after a 4 day intensive training course followed by test day. I owe big thanks to the brilliant instructors Ozzie and Shane. Also big thanks to Tina who is brilliant with the admin work behind the scenes.
J. S.
I can't recommend A2Z more highly. Ossie, Tina, Shane and the rest of the crew were simply fantastic. Their approach very personalized, professional, and safe. They prepared me as well as could be expected for Mod 1 and 2 and, thanks to them, I'm happy to now be part of the motorcycling world. Thanks A2Z!
T.
Just pass my CBT today. It was a great fun, guys are very proffesional and friendly. Highly recomend for everyone...
Defo will be coming back for a full license! 5/5!
S. D.
Exceptional service. I passed my CBT quickly and easily and Ossie worked overtime to help me with the geared motorcycle. Everyone went above and beyond what was expected. Tina also kept me updated by sending me text messages to confirm bookings and payments and giving me all the information required. Definitely the best place to train in London.
A. C.
I renewed my CBT with A2Z almost a year ago then went on to do DAS with a different school - unfortunately had a bad experience and failed my Mod 1. Their methods were awful and I did not continue. After building my confidence back up over the year on my faithful scooter with L plates > I went with A2Z for a 4-day DAS course... and what a difference! All my apprehension and nervousness, fear of making mistakes and being told off, were all wiped away. Ossie took me through everything like I was new student, explained what to be aware of and what to know without the demoralising process of waiting for me to make the mistakes on the road and correct me then; he just got it all out of the way. Each day made me more confident, no question was ever a stupid question, no bad habits couldn't be fixed and no mistakes couldn't be corrected for the next time. He armed me with everything I needed to know and instilled a lot of good methods. I went on to do both tests on Tuesday 28 May and was done by 10.30am ...PASSED! So excited to be picking up my Kawasaki Versys 650 today!! Thank you Ossie and Tina - a true family run and close knit friendly neighbourhood business. If you can get to north London, go with A2Z Rider Training.
P. B.
Excellent service. Been using them for a few years now. Highly recommend!
V. K.
Thank you for a2z rider school - passed my CBT for the third time. Gen our instructor was great; very informative and energetic! Have done my CBT at two other centres previously but this is the best by far - will deffo be back. See you in two years :-)
M. G. W.
Passed my DAS module 1 & 2 on the first attempt, so I'm very pleased. It does feel pricey but certainly worth it as Tina and Ozy are a great team and they'll do their best to make sure you pass. Doing consecutive days of riding certainly helps and Ozy takes you to the test site so you can familiarise yourself with the routes. I'd certainly recommend them to others wanting to do a direct access course.
J. A.
Great instructors who really care about safety and even though I struggled a little, with their help and support I was able to ride confidently on the roads and got my CBT! Thanks guys. Will definitely be recommending.
N. C. M.
Highly recommend the team here, passed first time thanks to excellent instruction and help from Ozzie, Shane and Tina. They were extremely flexible in working their schedule around mine. The training was spot on and made sure you were confident and comfortable with all aspects of the test (Mod 1 practice was particularly helpful) before you take it. Very patient, friendly and professional! Thank you guys!
R. D.
Thanks, happy with training, well organised course . over 5 days, enjoyed riding/train on almost new yamaha bikes, got my full A licence.
highly recommended.
Most important aspect is that the instructor cares if you pass your tests.
G. S.
Excellent customer service from Tina. Instructor Ossie was super professional,knowledgeable and funny. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience with fellow students. Don't go anywhere else!
R. B.
Instructor are top quality and would recommend anyone to go here to complete CBT or re-take CBT.

Absolutely fantastic and extremely competent instructors! Did my CBT followed by the DAS with Fluffy and Shane respectively - breezed through all and had a great time practicing for it with A2Z!
T. C.
Fluffy and Shane are great - highly skilled, knowledgeable, patient and fun. It's an intense course so be prepared to be exhausted at the end of each day, but if you listen carefully and follow instructions you will pass. Thank you A2Z!
H. A.
I was glad to get a test in A2Z rider training. The most lovable teachers and a perfect learning for me. Thank you for everyone.🙏🏻

E. A.
First of all I want to thank you Ossie/Tina. I really enjoyed doing the CBT with A2Z. If you really want to learn something just go with A2Z. This was my second CBT and I can say its by far the best place to the CBT or take the full licence.
PS: I didn't ride a motorcycle in my life until I did the CBT with Them.
H. A.
Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to Ossie & Tina for getting me through my CBT & DAS course.
Passed my DAS this morning (in the pouring rain) with no faults on mod 1 & 1 minor fault on mod 2. Never thought I could do it. Just goes to show the High standard of teaching A2Z provides. From never touching anything bigger than 125cc to passing 1st time on a 600cc is amazing.
Wish you guys all the best for the future.
PS thanks for all those coffees Ossie :)
