Focus Rider Training Reviews

What a great team they have at Focus. Went through my DAS with them and I couldn’t recommend them any higher. They are very patient and have plenty of time for you. Put you at ease as soon as you set foot in their office. They have a great selection of bikes to learn on and they will have something suited to your needs. Thanks again. Jordan

After over 30 yrs since I was last on a bike, bit the bullet and did my CBT today. Absolutely brilliant and very patient staff, was anxious at first but soon settled in and went for our 2 hr ride and loved it. Thanks to everyone at Focus. Will be booking mid 1 and 2 plus extra lessons for DAS once had more experience on the road. Again superb….

I didn’t know what I was looking for but gave Focus Rider a ring and spoke to Laura. She guided me through the process and recommended a CBT and intro conversion day and gave me lots of information I was lacking. It took me a year to book but when I finally did I did a CBT and Direct Access course within 2.5 days and passed both exams first time, they assured me I was ready! Great experience with Focus Rider and I would highly recommend! Thank you to the team as I had a chance to work with everyone over the days and everyone gave me really great tips which ultimately helped me pass.

Completed both my cbt and mod 2 with Focus over the years. Jeff and Laura are fantastic. Recently passed my mod 2 with them despite there being a little bump with timing everything was resolved immediately. Would totally recommend Focus if your starting to ride. Thank you both for your work ✌️.

Just completed CBT ...Great experience and couldn't recommend FRT Highley enough...Instructor Neil was a genuine down to earth lovely guy ...thank you FRT and massive thank you Neil...your an absolute legend

Did my CBT 2 years ago with Stacey at Focus and did it again last week. Cannot recommend this place enough. Stacey makes you feel so comfortable and at ease her instructions are super clear and her knowledge is amazing. As a slightly "mature" rider with some leg issues she made me feel as if nothing could stop me and it didn't. Thank you Stacey. Do not hesitate book with Focus.

i did my cbt on a hot day when i said to stacey that i would prefer to finish it on a dryer day, she let me come back on her own time and honestly i cannot recommended an instructor enough. i have zero driving experience on the road (not passed my driving liscence) and i was 100% comfortable with her. can’t give enough thanks to the whole team for making me feel so comfortable, you’re all so amazing!!! passed my cbt and i’m absolutely buzzing :))

Thank you very much to everyone in Focus Rider Training especially Frank that was my CBT instructor and Stacey who I did the CBT with 2 years ago. Couldn't recommend enough, that's why I came back. Thank you again for all the guidance, training and patience 🙏 So grateful!

Great folks, truly helpful, best in the area, Thanks again

Did my CBT yesterday having never sat on a motorbike before. Everything was explained brilliantly by Neil and by 3pm we were cruising down some B roads. Thanks for all your help and advice. Wanted to learn how to ride for 40 years and you helped a dream come true. Can’t wait to complete my DAS in June. Cheers!!!

Cannot recommend this company enough, everyone who ive met whlist doing my CBT here were all very welcoming and friendly. Laura and Neil were absolute down to earth people. They were very informative regarding everything i needed to know, as i am a beginner. I booked with these as i needed to book asap and i booked in the CBT for the next day. But i cannot thank and praise the team/company enough. Class act Thank you guys , i strongly recommend these guys if you are looking to book bike test or CBT

Brilliant day, relaxed but informative, active and passed. Thank-you for the experience

Absolutely amazing! Would 1000% recommend! Ladies if your looking for somewhere to get your CBT or even DAS ( "L" plate for 3 years , in that time we did CBT twice, then i just booked the DAS for me and my partner) I would totally say get booked in! The team are great! And they are there to help you ride a motorbike!

(UPDATED) 2020 I would 100% do it again with this team; they're nice and professional. I highly recommend them to anyone. Before I started, I knew nothing about riding on the road, but now I feel really comfortable and confident riding—thanks to their comprehensive training that exceeded my expectations. Now, in 2024, I came back to do my Direct Access Scheme (DAS). Day one involved converting from an automatic to a geared 125cc bike. By day two, I was ready to progress to a bigger bike, and now I have my unrestricted Bike Licence. I highly recommend this place to any new learner.

I'm sure all the members of staff here are great from what I've seen but would like to give a special thanks to Stacey for starting off on CBT along with Frank, Laura and Jeff for their efforts in getting me through my DAS. 15 years of not riding a bike, the CBT was a breeze with the team. However getting onto the DAS - I couldn't even get the bike moving from a standstill. The team found the perfect bike from their selection within 10 minutes and I was well on my way. Unfortunately my test had been cancelled multiple times due to adverse weather. Laura had worked around my work schedule to get a test organised, which was a massive help and keeping me up to date along the way. Not only have Focus Rider Training given the skills to be a safe and confident rider, their lessons have gotten me through both mod1 and 2 with 0 minors!! A welcoming atmosphere with smiles all around. What an adventure! Keep up the good work Focus RT!!

Jeff, Laura, Frank and the gang are great to teach how to ride. Did the CBT and in the process of getting my DAS done soon! Strongly recommend

Daughter passed her CBT first time, the lady and guy that I spoke to seemed really nice. Took my daughter out for her road test on a 50cc as she was having throttle issues, then left her play on a 125 whilst she was waiting to be picked up.

I cannot recommend this place enough. From Frank my instructor to the girls in the office. They make you feel welcome and help you relax while maintaining the professionalism and standards required to progress you through your training and test.Awesom experience .

I would highly recommend Focus Rider Training! Travelled all the way from Cumbria to do my DAS as I was quite nervous and wanted to go with a female instructor who wouldn't shout at me or make me feel stupid if I did something wrong. I ended up doing different bits of training with Laura, John and Frank over a 3 day DAS spread over a couple of weeks and could not recommend them highly enough. All of the instructors were really positive, helpful, calm, patient, and really boosted my confidence with their feedback and little snippets of wisdom over the two training days. Hopefully I won't need to, but if I ever needed to do more training I wouldn't hesitate to come back to Focus!
