"The instructors were fantastic! They were patient, very knowledgeable and kept the session fun and engaging too."
"These fellas really know their stuff, they keep you on your toes and drum everything you need to know into you."
"Training is clear and concise."
"The instructors could read our body language and taught us at a good pace."
"Every lesson finishes with a debrief where the instructors give you excellent feedback."
"The instruction from the staff was top class, clear and easy to understand."
"Training was superb, always felt safe. Gear and bikes were plentiful and included in the price."
Cons:
"Today I have lost £130 due to unable to arrive on time, I phoned up and said such and such with already spending 130, was unable to get a refund or a change with discount"
"In my personal opinion we got ripped off with a lot of money and still never got through our tests because of no consecutive lesson's"
"A little confusion on some lessons between instructors as example, ride over drains as the bike is destined for it and the other to say avoid them."
"sometime's not having a lesson for six weeks even though we both paid for fast track"
"In my experience seemed more bother about the money than getting you through your test"
"Turned out yesterday instead of giving him his free resit, they basically disguised it as a lesson and gave him his cert after that. Conned out of money."
"Must say severely disappointed in ace, booked the bike in for fork seals to be done a few weeks ago, they then rang me five days later to say that the headstock bearing had also gone."

"Cost me around £600 in total to go from no experience to the full class A, which includes the CBT, lessons and test fees."
