Completed my CBT today, excellent instruction from Lightning Motorcycle training at Reading

Completed my CBT today. Morning with Rob who was incredibly patient, he explained everything in simple and understandable terms was professional but at the same time relaxed and friendly. Afternoon on road session was with Jerry who provided excellent guidance and advice and made me feel safe on the road and he gave honest and evidenced feedback which helped to improve my riding-the whole session was enjoyable and has really motivated me to get my full licence and enjoy the world of motorcycling# thank you

Probably the worst company I've ever…

Probably the worst company I've ever had a misfortune to interact with. No real office (you literally meet next to some containers in the parking lot), horrible service, rude replies, incompetent administration and you'll need ~8-12hrs for 35min test (MOD2). Don't give these people your money and your time, we deserve better. "Companies" like this one should not exist. Update after their reply: Practice at your expense? Test free of charge? Why bother replying if you are continuing your condescending attitude backed with imagination? I failed because I made a mistake, my comment was about your "business" that has nothing to do with my test result.

Bad experience

Yes, strictly a profit based service. They are useless if you are a beginner. You are placed into a system and if you cannot keep to their requirements, they want more money and, agianst the UK law, will not give a refund. Fortunately, we in the UK can challenge this, but if I were you, I would think 3 times before using this sytem of training and rather go with another training company that listens and is more flexible.

I went there for CBT training and the instructor was very thorough, polite and supportive throughout the course. I was amazed to see the professionalism and efforts he has made for all those hours to ensure we understand the safety about riding motorbike and how skills can be effectively used. Even on repeated mistakes, he was polite and prompting them to correct until the time person actually started correcting them automatically.

I just wanted to say

I just wanted to say, a massive thank you to all of the staff and instructors of Lightning Motorcycle training in Reading. They gave me the confidence to ride a motorcycle after many years of nothing. They put me through two CBT's successfully, and very recently passed my mod 1 and mod 2 . I would in particular like to thank Keith, Nick, Kevin, Chris, Paul, and Rob for your support. To all the instructors I didn't get to learn with, in different centres, thank you for making me feel welcome at your centre for my mod 1 and mod 2. Thanks again for a great journey! New bike arrives 7th July! Can't wait!! Will be down to show you! Gary Mulholland

Great Experience, I recommend for Mods 1 and 2

Having done CBT with another school, I chose to go with LMT (Lightning Motorcycle Training) due to proximity to my home (15 minutes to Wembley training facility). I did Mod 1 with Dicky. I took 1 practice day for c.3-3.5 hours after which I easily passed Mod 1 at Uxbridge DVSA center from first attempt. I also did 1 practice day with Dicky for Mod 2. The sessions was very useful. We covered roundabouts, riding in high density area, lane positions, safety. We went to Uxbridge and covered some of the likely routes there as well as some tricky areas. On the day of my Mod 2 exam, I rode to the center with Will, who answered all my final questions before taking the exam. I passed the exam from f1st attempt with 1 minor for which I am grateful to the whole team at LMT. The office team (Rebecca and Co) are always there to help from early in the morning (think the earliest communication I had with them was around 6.45am) until late in the day. All of the instructors I met at the Wembley center are very friendly, experienced and knowledgeable. The are genuinely trying to help you pass. Dicky is an old soul, very relaxed but must have seen it all as he knows areas where students are likely to fail. Will, on the other hand is very intense and just on my way to Uxbridge centre managed to remind me the entire Highway Code. He is very good as well. I would strongly recommend both them. They are very approachable and super helpful. Thank you and good luck to all you you!

Excellent place to start your biking journey!!

Having had one cbt before with another company that lasted barely 4hrs!!... I was pleased that not only was Lightening Pass cbg a full days training but I really enjoyed the day. I have been riding my 125cc for 2 years and so this was a renewal however I still managed to learn more in an hr than I did in the whole of my previous cbt. I really improved my slow bike control and technique and Chris our instructor was brilliant, patient and informative and occasionally funny.. If you are just starting out your biking life then start here!! 5* Simon

Excellent training by friendly and helpful instructors. The course was set at a good pace, building on easy to grasp theory and off road riding. Wilfred (Oxford Instructor) made the day really enjoyable with his professional and easy going attitude. The whole day was really enjoyable and I would highly recommend Lightning Motorcycle Training.
