CBT Completion at the Halesowen Branch
Cannot describe my experience in any way other than amazing! I completed my CBT today with Lyndon at the Halesowen branch. He was so supportive and friendly, it helped massively when practising manoeuvres and taking the bike out on the open roads. Would recommend to anyone looking to get into motorcycle riding. I will be returning in the future for more tuition for Mod 1 and 2.

This is a great place to get your CBT training
I recently completed the CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) course at the Lighting Motorcycle Training School in Wembley and I'm thrilled to say that it was a great experience. My trainer was Dave, and he was very professional and patient. He made sure I understood everything before moving on to the next lesson. The course itself was very thorough, covering everything from how to ride safely in traffic to how to react if you crash your bike. The school is conveniently located near the train station in Wembley Park, so it's easy to get there by public transportation, car or bike. If you're interested in learning how to ride a motorcycle or scooter legally in the UK, this course is a great place to start!

Very helpful, positive team
Went for a CBT on a 125cc Manual, fell over several times on the figure of 8 and U-turn, they were very supportive and reassuring. Came back for another CBT and passed week and half later - felt like the manuevers and lifesavers were drilled into me and even if I missed a step I could think back and day 'yeah i did that wrong' rather than being oblivious. Many thanks to John and Rob, Ta

"THE BEST TRAINING PLACE"
"THE BEST TRAINING PLACE" I came to these guys already having failed my mod2, with another motoring school which I would not recommend, previously and needing some extra encouragement to get through, being a bag of nerves. The office staff ( thanks to Becky, Sean & James) were great, chatting and keeping me calm. My first instructor (thanks Dickie) laid back manner on day one was a great boost. When his tough as nails teaching wasn't having the desired effect he changed tack and it worked a charm, A teacher being able to adjust to a student is why these guys are 5stars, as well as their whole team attitude from riders to office staff it's a great place. Passed my category A licence with "Lightning Motorcycle Training" at first attempt. Thanks!!!

Recommend - Perfection for me !
From minute 1 the response was quick, professional and helpful . I enquired about a direct access course and had one up and running at a time of my choosing . Cbt done on day 1 … mod 1 completed a couple of days later and mod 2 after a week . My instructor Steve (Halesowen) was a perfect level of professionalism , experience, banter and encouragement . Price was very very fair …. Bike on the way . 👌 Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Lightning - they do what it says on the tin !!

Excellent training
I booked an hour's Personal Tuition to help improve U-turns post CBT and a three-hour Road Rider Session in preparation for my DAS course. Both were with Lyndon and matched - no surpassed - my expectations. Lyndon was clear in his explanations and demonstrations, very supportive and gave helpful, positive criticism and advice. I came away a more proficient rider and clearer in what makes a good motorcyclist. A very valuable experience. I recommend this company's Stourbridge branch.

Overall, the training was great.
Overall, the training was great. I passed first time for CBT, MOD 1 and MOD 2 on the Intermediate course, having ridden a 125cc bike for around 4 years, 10 years ago. I had training at the Oxford and Reading sites, with five different instructors across the six sessions that were booked. Most of the trainers were lovely and their tuition was spot on, but one was rude and completely inappropriate. I booked the course to learn to ride a 'bigger' bike, and to pass my tests to get my full licence. I did not book the course to be shouted at through the radio with expletives, rather for what I was doing wrong to be explained and corrected. I honestly had to reconsider whether I actually wanted to continue with the course after my experience with this instructor. With regards to the level of training, it was obviously substantial due to passing each test first time. However, for confidence, I would suggest that LMT add an additional training session on the 600/650cc bikes prior to the MOD 1 test. This is as the first time that I had ridden a bike bigger than 125cc on the road was on the way to my MOD 1 test. This was over an hours ride in the pouring rain, at a time when nerves were already there due to the test. It was also really beneficial of the instructor to explain what to expect when getting to the test centre. This was done for MOD 2 but not MOD 1, with MOD 1 being more turn up, get on the bike, follow the instructor to the test centre then go do the test. I'm grateful that I did not let this one experience stop me from continuing the course, as the other four instructors were all encouraging, supportive and generally great guys. The office team were also great, sending regular messages to offer earlier training/tests when available.

Excellent. Did my CBT and DAS at the Stourbridge site, with a further lesson at Oxford prior to my test. Passed first time. Did CBT with Lyndon, and the DAS with Steve. Oxford lesson was with Carl. They are really good instructors, friendly patient and knowledgeable. They want you to pass!
