Reviews of Bryans Motorcycle Training

e.

Can't possibly say enough about how brilliant it is to train at this motorcycle riding school. All of the instructors are friendly, helpful and truly want to see you succeed. I did a 6 day intensive course with John who was patient and attentive. Everything was tailored to my skill level and the training was genuinely good fun. Will absolutely be back for advanced rider training!

Edited review to include my full license training - Aug & Sept 2023. I knew after having such a good experience with Bryan's when I did my CBT that I would come back to do my full lincense. If you are shopping around for a DAS course or Mod1&2 training, look no further! They make the process of gaining your license very enjoyable and methodical. I did a 6 day intensive DAS course with John as my main instructor, he is a very patient, friendly, and meticulous teacher, making me feel very at ease. I very much appreciated the attention to detail during the training to encourage me to be a very good, safe rider, not just good enough to past the tests. For me it took a while to become consistent particlarly with the Mod 1 manouvres, John was great at reinforcing the teaching points in a patient way knowing that with practice and concetration I'd get it - which sure enough I did! Similarly with on road riding, we stopped whilst out on a ride for feedback and discussion. I also worked with Jim who is another fantastic teacher, he helps you to relax and enjoy the experience of learning to ride. I passed my Mod 1 second time and my Mod 2 first time! The whole team at Bryan's are awesme; Trish, Kev, John, Jim and Ros thank you for all of your help on this journey I appreciate all of your guidance, teaching and assistance so much! - - - Previous review: I had an awesome experience completing my CBT Bryan’s BMW Training. I couldn’t have asked for more friendly, patient or knowledgable people to do it with. This was my first time riding a motorbike, long time car driver and rode a bicycle. So the 2 day course I thought would be ideal for me and it was perfect. Unfortunately I’ve forgotten the lady’s name who I spent most of my time with but she was awesome. We took everything at my pace and made sure I was happy and confident with each part before moving onto the next part. Coming back for a second day having mentally digested everything overnight it all clicked and all the practice meant I felt great on the road. Thank you to everyone at Bryan’s for a great CBT experience and see you soon for my big bike training and test! Thanks, Tom

Undertook 2 day CBT training over 2 Sundays. My instructor, Roz was very patient, professional, helpful and gave me the confidence to complete the training successfully. The bike ‘Usha’ was a great machine, well looked after and I fell in love with her. In my opinion, best place for motorcycle training in Stoke on Trent.

Been riding my 125cc for 10 months. Decided to go for Full Bike Licence. Contacted Kevin at Brans. We spoke via phone the Course to available. Kevin explained all the options to me. Discussed in some detail , my experience on a 125cc. I went for the Semi Intensive training. 1 week, first 3 hours on my bike, next 3 hours on hire bike. Second week 3 hours on hire bike including MOD1 test at Burton. Failed MOD1 took again the following week - Passed. Week later hire Bike for 2hours including training and test. Passed MOD2 (full licence). Big thanks to Kevin for his straight talking via the phone and during training. Also all the staff / trainers who were also involved with my MOD1 training, all very helpful & friendly during my training with them. A must read prior and during training The Official DVSA Guide to Riding the Essential Skills. Tells you all you need to know which is a huge extra help in passing my MOD1 & MOD2. Wish all at Bryans all the very best. Definitely recommended. And a huge Thank You ALL. Tez.

Roz is fab she take her time with you and explains everything to you I was a bit nervous at 1st and as the class was a bit a head in there training than me she still took her time with me and I caught up to the class very fast I was told if I never been on a bike do it on a scooter but Ross give me the confidence to get on the bike and learn the gears and I am so glad I did it on the bike now. Can't wait to finish my CBT off next Thursday. If you get Ross on your CBT you are in good hands. Just passed my CBT now one week later as I did it in 2 parts and I can't thank Roz enough definitely recommend her and the company and to be honest the price they charge is so worth it and I would off happily paid a bit more for it 100% recommend them

P. B.

Had a really good CBT training day on Friday. Roz was an excellent tutor for the day. You cover a lot at a brisk pace. Plenty of support and feedback to improve during the day. Thanks 👍 🏍😀

J. E.

I Would like to say a big thank you to John the Second best motorbike rider in the world after me. Who Professionally guided me through five days learning. I’m happy to say I passed my test first time. I will add apart from my cbt I haven’t rode a motorbike before so thank you team for getting me to test Standard in the shortest of time. You get what you pay for Quality!!

G. K.

The absolute best motorcycle training centre in the midlands. Knowledgeable and professional instructors will see you through CBT, MOD1, MOD 2 and beyond.

I enrolled on a Rookie to Ride scheme through BMW Motorad Wolverhampton with the team at Bryans in Stoke upon Trent providing the training At 58 I had never ridden a motorcycle From the initial call to Trish at Bryans who administrates things I was totally confident that I was in good hands As a complete Rookie the team really looked after me Special credit to John & Jim (main trainers to me). I was a totally raw material & shall I say tested their skills & patience. They were both unfaltering My journey with Bryans began in October & I successfully passed my mod 2 in December. I had in total only 10 days training which is testament to the quality of the training delivered My training was top notch on top notch bikes My F 750 GS was delivered on 18th March I have purposefully left some months between gaining my full licence & reviewing as I have now had some independent riding to reflect upon the training delivered They are not just in business they are enthusists through & through. My sincere thanks to all at Bryans Trish Ros John Jim Kev

I have successfully passed the Direct Access course over 6 days. I really can honestly say you get what you pay for so Don’t Go Anywhere Else, the team here are superb. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Bryans BMW, their a friendly and professional bunch..👍

I. H.

I can not speak highly enough of Bryan’s motoring school and their staff . I had never ridden a motorbike in my life so to pass with 0 minor faults only speaks volumes of the team behind my success . From Trish on the phones and planning dates and tests to Roz who taught me the basics to achieve my CBT level then John who progressed me through my direct access .The whole experience was fun and very relaxed . So much so that I plan to return to push my level of riding up a level . I was never made to feel like just another student and John seemed as delighted as me when the pass verdict was handed to me .look no further if you want a professional faultless experience on the bikes 🏍 👍🏼👍🏼

A. B.

I passed! Seriously can’t thank everyone enough, Roz for taking me through the CBT , Jim for settling my nerves and John for giving me countless tips / tricks and Kev for taking me out during my time training here! You will LOVE training here, everyone is such a character which makes it so much fun!!! I can’t recommend this place enough, enjoyed every day training here and learnt so much when it came to MOD 1 & 2! I can’t wait to come back and do my advanced rider training here soon, don’t even think just book it up and enjoy the ride!!🏍

L. g.

I deliberately left the writing of this review 2 months after passing my direct access intensive course with Bryans? this is so below does not appear to be the elated ramblings of someone who has just gained their licence. This is my experience of my time at Bryans After they arranged my course and test dates, I really did take them on their word, and I just turned up! I was provided with "all" the riding gear, all premium brands and good condition. Not just the bikes I personally used over the course, but the whole fleet are practically new, and in excellent condition, the BMW quality really added that extra something and confidence when riding, this was apparent when at the test centre where I saw what machines other schools use. Most importantly all the staff are, enthusiastic, friendly, experienced , knowledgeable, patient and professional (thanks again John) Bryans Intensive Course is not just a great way to get your bike licence in the shortest possible time, you also gain skills that help you ride safely, and improve your technique All in all a Five Star experience well worth the money which I can highly recommend

M. H.

I passed 1st time with these and what a great experience. All the staff are great and really easy going and really do know there stuff I would definitely recommend and my lads will definitely be using Bryan's👍👍

A. K.

Just a Thank you will not be enough, such a wonderful experience, from not just the instructors, John and Jim whom i ve had, also Kev and Trish,, from day one felt the progress, customer care at its best, thanks again guys, did it with your big help and support i Passed my unrestricted 🏍

K. F.

Completed my CBT today under the excellent instruction from Ros Milford. Brilliant!! Ros was patient, knowledgeable approachable and a great asset to Bryan’s team. I’m encouraged to consider doing my Mod 1 and 2 now. Gave me a great deal of confidence. Thank you Ros.

J. ..

Just completed a two-day CBT course with the help of Ros and John. They were very patient, friendly and understanding. I definitely recommend doing the two-day CBT over the one day if you are a novice as you get the extra time on both the yard and the road to build up your skills. Completely worth the extra cost in my opinion as I felt confident in my ability after the course with the expert help from both Ros and John. Thanks Guys!

D. L.

Excellent, friendly team. Got me through my CBT in a day and a half, having never ridden a geared bike and last ridden a twist and go over 15 years ago! Thanks to Jim for his patience and willing us to succeed! And to Kev for the tour of Clayton, the Westlands and Keele a very interesting route to try out all of the manoeuvres learnt on site. Highly recommended for anyone starting motorcycling from scratch!

A.

Thanks to all the great team at Bryan’s today - Trish, Kev, John and Jim, but especially to Roz who was the instructor for my CBT. Superb and very confidence inspiring. I can recommend them 100% to anyone needing CBT or lessons towards full license.

S. T.

If you've been looking at ridingschools, you'll notice the difference here the minute you arrive, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and brand new bikes, their teaching style makes everything easy to understand and take in, and whereas some places just want to rush you to get that bit of paper, the same can't be said here, John and Kev will push you that bit harder into not just getting your licence, but into being a better rider, can't thank them enough. when it comes to getting my lad on the road, there's only one place I'll be taking him 😀

A. B.

I just thought I'd add an updated review. I've now passed Mod 1 and Mod 2 with help from all of Kev's team. In my case I took my time and was totally supported by the excellent team of Trish, Jim, John, Roz and Kev. Very professional, patient, reliable and supportive, with really good training facilities and bikes.

D. M.

Thanks so much John and Kevin at Bryans BMW Rider Training, because of your professional help and all the advice and assistance I passed my Mod 1 and 2 back-to-back today! Awesome, I'm over the moon and I'd recommend Bryans BMW to anyone for all your training needs. Must get back to you later on for a bit of training on my own bike, loved your BMWs by the way! best, David

M. H.

If you are looking for a friendly, professional and highly skilled team of instructors to help you get your motorcycle license, you simply CANNOT go wrong with Bryan’s BMW Rider Training. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel at ease and everything was explained in full. John is an incredible instructor and adapted to my way of learning to help me understand how to ride safely and confidently. Even when I became frustrated at my own, elementary mistakes, John remained calm, professional and eased me through the training. John was my instructor for the week but the whole team were behind me when I went for my tests and supported me along the way when my nerves were getting the better of me at some points. Thank you to everyone at Bryan’s. Cone but not forgotten!!

M. B.

Successfully completed my CBT here today. Having completed a CBT 6 years ago at another place the training was world's apart. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere with knowledgeable and helpful instructors. Slightly dearer than other places but all in all worth the money and would highly recommend!

m. S.

Just completed a weeks intensive course today and thanks to the team at Bryan’s I’ve completed and passed my cbt , my mob 1and mod 2. Great friendly relaxed atmosphere felt really at home doing my training with these guys recommend them to anybody. Special thanks to John for getting me through my mod 1 & mod 2. 👍😁 Best regards rob smith

R. H.

I would like to thank all the team @ Bryan's for the assistance in passing both my Mod 1 & 2 first time around. They are a fantastic bunch of people who deliver great training and provide a friendly, fun environment to suit every individuals needs. I wish you all the best of luck - keep doing what you are doing!

s. p.

Im am so pleased with bryans bike training i passed my test today woth no minors or faults they are fantastic instructors and they are really friendly and helpful

M. F.

Bryan's BMW Rider training... I really need to thank everyone from Bryan's who've helped me through my bike test. In particular John, for the training, Jim for getting me to Shrewsbury for my Mod 1 Kev for... well kev was definitely there. Moral support... see I knew he did something lol. A great team that got me ready to ride... cheers 🍻

C. F.

Just done my full motorcycle licence with these guys, great friendly instructors, good location, great bikes and equipment. Big thanks to Kev, John and Jim, not forgetting Trish on reception. Can definitely recommend, thanks again !

S. O.

The CBT course was above and beyond anything that I was expecting. The facilities were great; the bikes and equipment were really well maintained and the training area was a great training space. The highlight of the day for me was your instructor Simon. I can’t praise him enough for how comfortable and at ease he made me feel as an absolute beginner. He is an absolute credit to your training school. Thanks again for a really, positive day and I’ll definitely be coming back to use you for the rest of my training as well as recommending to friends. Cheers 👍🏼😬

J. B. (.

Brilliant bike school. Did my CBT with Tom, and he was nothing less than excellent. Great teacher who was patient, and fair. I can't recommend them enough. EDIT: Just passed my Mod 2 first time and with no minors! And that's all down to the fab training I received from Bryans. Very happy with them.

R. V.

Great bunch of guys, very knowledge and make it fun to learn through the whole process, got me passed quickly and helped whenever I needed them to. Bikes you learn on are brand new and great pieces of kit no matter what licence you're going for, 100% would recommend

M. O.

After passing my CBT with them 3 years ago I went back for my renewal 2years later and as of today have now passed my A2 license with Bryan’s. Absolutely fantastic place to learn and the instructors are brilliant. Will be returning for my A license in 2 years time. Huge thank you to all of the team, special thanks to Kev and John for their training and help.

L. G. T.

Great school, very nice staff! Had 4 of my friends to do the Cbt there , all in one day! 3 of them don’t speak English very well and they allowed me to translate! Now we all ride 125s , looking to go for full licence, and they are the perfect choice!

E. S.

I had my CBT last Thursday and these gentlemen were such friendly helpful people. I had never drove a scooter before my cbt and i felt so safe in jim and johns hands, they really put you first and really make you enjoy the experience of learning. This is definitely the place to go for a CBT!! i have to say i was a bag of nerves at the start of the day and by the end of the day i felt confident enough to get on my scooter at home and ride it with complete saftey. Jim taught us for the first part of the day and i have to say what a chatacter. He definitely wants to see people have a good time with the learning. Such a great person, and also john gave me the best encouragement out on the roads and made me feel safe. I have since been on my scooter everyday since thursday and feel completley confident. Thankyou so much guys!

H. M.

A really great place to learn to ride. I took my CBT here in February and have just completed a intensive DAS course, passing first time. John and Kev were excellent and really put me at ease on the bike. Would highly recommend coming here for motorcycle training. Thank you to all the team for all your hard work in getting me through my tests.

N. A.

I have just completed a weeks intensive direct access course with Bryan's, I can quite honestly say they are a top notch team. Friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, patient and great instructors. Kev, John and team are absolutely class. Thank You.

a. b.

I've now had my second lesson with Bryans motorcycle school and i must say that both Kevin and Craig have been absolutely fantastic. I changed from another training centre that i wasn't really happy with after getting a recommendation about Bryans and i must say that they are very professional, thorough and pleasant to deal with. They have an new fleet of bikes and have lots of equipment for you to borrow including helmets, biking pants and jackets, boots and gloves, all hung on rails in all sizes in their changing room. I would just add that i drive 35 miles to have my bike training here rather than using my local instructor....this should tell you how highly i rate the staff at Bryans, so book with them now !!

D. M. M.

Very professional and well mannered, yet friendly instructors. Very pleasant experience. Gear and bikes used for training were well maintained and a pleasure to use. Prices are in my opinion a little above average but it is well worth it, and there are discounts and offers available if you are looking to get serious. Passed my tests with flying colors on my first try.

M. B.

I recently took an DAS crash course and it was fantastic I passed both tests first time thanks to John's meticulous training, all the staff where very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure I was ok. All of the equipment was well maintained quality gear and the bikes where brand new BMW GS, a pleasure to ride. Cant recommend Bryan's enough a real quality company.

S. D.

Can only say excellent in all areas. They have got me through to my full licence from zero experience in a totally professional manner. {it took me 50 years to decide to try}. Brilliant staff, equipment, facilities. a great atmosphere. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE. Thanks to all at Bryan;s

C. C.

Had the pleasure of having both Tom and John as my instructors throughout my CBT training day. Incredibly patient and very funny, making the initial nerves using a bike, disappear quickly. Highly recommend using the taster session that is around £40 (as of writing this), as this made getting onto the roads, on the CBT day a breeze, something that's imperative if you to be safe. Many different bike schools, will have similar prices, however, the personality that these gentleman have is hard to match.

S. F.

Awesome instructors, brilliant teaching methods. All instructors have built my confidence and gained my full A licence today. Thank you for being so patient with me and getting me on the big bikes aswell. Thank you so much to everyone.

R. H.

Took the CBT course here and the day was brilliant. Good quality equipment and bikes, the instructors were very knowledgable and put you at ease throughout. Would thoroughly recommend, and will be back to take further qualifications in the future.

B. I.

Super happy to have completed a Direct Access course at Bryan's! Ross was brilliant taking us through CBT, taking time to explain how the bike operates and riding principles. Then John took over for the MOD 1/2 training, John's calm manner and positive feedback was amazing allowing for mistakes (in safety) to be made and ensuring that those mistakes where used as a learning experience. I'd highly recommend anyone regardless of prior experience to train at Bryan's. Also Trish is amazing at keeping everything in order and making sure you're in the right place at the right time.

m. h.

I walked into Bryan's a stranger and a complete beginner 18 months ago for my CBT with no motorbike experience at all. I look back on that day with a smile on my face, they got me through it. I then got a 125cc bike and enjoyed some great trips with my wife and friends thus began my motorbike adventure. A few months back I went back to Bryan's not a stranger but a friend amongst friends and began training with a view of gaining my full license. Today December 4th I achieved that goal with a lot of encouragement, professional guidance and patience from all of the instructors there. I want to say a big thank you to all at Bryan's for getting me here, my adventure feels like it is starting anew. Mark.

C. W.

These guys are the best! I did the Bmw rookie to rider, in one week these guys got me through CBT, mod one and mod two with no minor faults! The instructors are very knowledgeable and so down to earth and friendly. I am going to go back in late spring ‘18 to do the advanced rider course, even though I live in west London, it’s well worth the travel!

S. H.

Absolutely brilliant place to learn to ride. Fantastic friendly staff. The BMWs used seem big and hard to handle, but once you're on them they are beautifully balanced and a pleasure to ride. Would highly recommend Bryans. Thankyou to everyone there. 👍🏻

J. K.

If you’re wanting to learn to ride, I can’t think of anywhere better than this. Friendly atmosphere, dedication, commitment to quality, I’m a much better rider for coming here. You get to ride lovely BMW GS’ as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend Bryans.

R. B.

Did DAS spread over two months. Superb motorcycle training school. Friendly staff/instructors, accurate mod 1 layout and exellent road training that inspired confidence and great bikes to do it all on (new BMW 700GS in my case). Don't bother looking anywhere else!

S. W.

I had a great experience with them, they were great people nice but serious about it all. It was a great todo my CBT with them and would 100% recommend.

M. G.

Fantastic place to learn. Took a DAS course and with John's brilliant instruction and help from the team I passed all tests no problem. Warm friendly place to be. Many many thanks.

S. R.

From never having ridden a motorcycle after 30 years of driving the team at Bryans are second to none in providing the right skills to pass the direct access. Roz, John and Kev are knowledgeable, experienced and share their skills at every step of the way. Passing first time in 7 days is testament to the training delivered. So if you have tried the rest now try the best. You will not be disappointed. Calm, professional and patient all the way through.

B. S.

Big thanks to Jim and the staff! Relaxed and professional training provided, great gear. Totally worth their price. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Amazing friendly staff. Great in-depth training. Highly recommended. I will be back to complete my mod 1 and 2 training Thanks team

J. J.

Well I just want to say a big thank you to John the instructor for getting me up to a really good standard and getting me through both of my tests (first time). Also thanks to Jim on the first day I had my CBT and made it an enjoyable day. All the instructors are brilliant and it’s definitely the best place to get your motorcycle training done whether it’s a CBT or intensive course. They make everyone feel welcome and at ease it don’t matter what level rider you are. Also we had a few laughs on the way. ( over taken by scooter moment was funny John well for you 😂 ) I hope to go back at some point for some advance rider training once I have had some experience on the road. All I can say is if you are thinking of doing any training on a motorcycle Bryan’s motorcycle training is the place to go. Thank you guys and girls it’s was an amazing week with you. See you soon stay safe

An awesome place to learn how to ride a bike. Roz made it so simple and was very patient with my attempts as a first time rider. I've learnt a lot today and thank to all the instructions there was no accident and, it was a very pleasant day. Kev gave me good guidance on how to proceed further as I'd like to carry a pillion, and will be giving an attempt to the full A license. Thank you very much to all team, everyone is having fun and learning how to ride, what an enjoyable day I had.

K. C.

I can’t recommend Bryan’s enough! Fantastic people, so friendly and professional. Put me at ease and nothing was an issue. My instructor John was fabulous. Don’t hesitate to book your training with them, you won’t be disappointed!
