Recommendations
Most people who come to learn how to ride a motorcycle with us arrive at our door through recommendation. To be sure of getting the best motorcycle training for yourself, give us a call now! Below are just a handful of extracts from the most recent correspondence of students who have been trained by us.
“ Hi, could you pass on a big thank you to Jim, Peter & H for great tuition that got me through my motorbike test! The team have been great, really friendly and really know their stuff. Thanks also for accommodating the changes I needed in dates etc. Also please apologise to H & Nick for leading them into a pile up on the A406! I appreciated their gentlemanly intent. Thanks again! Sarah ”
“ Hi all, just a note to say how much I enjoyed my training with you all and how pleased I was to pass first time, ( I know it shocked you too Nick!!!) I have since hired a motorbike to keep riding (Hornet 600) and survived. And now I have bought a Yamaha Fazer 600, 4 years old, in a pretty blue colour and I'm lovin it. So thanks again for all your support and effort it has made my year!!! Many Thanks, Laura ”
“ Dear Elite, please pass on my thanks to Derek & Nick, without whom I would still have the L−plates on my bike. I know it's their job, but it is not often these days that you find people so passionate about their work. They were professional, but also “human” in their approach, ensuring that I had extra training on those areas where I was not confident, not to mention sufficient cigarette breaks.
I would recommend your company without hesitation.
Many thanks, Andy. ”
“ Hello, I just wanted to say thanks to all at Elite for making my recent DAS course a success. Please pass on my thanks to Richard, Derek, H and, in particular, Nick who took me onto the 500s and through my test.
Their instruction was absolutely excellent and their clear passion for teaching made for a really enjoyable course (despite the weather). I will definitely recommend Elite to my friends and colleagues. Thanks again, Iain ”
“ Hi Elite
Just a quick note to say thanks. I believe Elite’s strength is in choosing their instructors. All of the 4 people that taught me were friendly and made learning an enjoyable experience. During the course they all gave consistent instructions and very useful hints and advice which allowed me to pass the CBT and then the 500cc M/C test first time!
I hope it has made my biking outside of the school become safer and more competent and the advice I was given will continue to help me improve now I have passed.
All of the bikes and equipment and facilities were new and well maintained, from my research there is little doubt that Elite offer excellent value and make an introduction to biking a great experience.
Thanks to everyone.
Regards, Douglas ”
“ Hello, I completed the DAS course with Elite over 5 days including CBT, 2 days on a 125 and 2 days on a 500. In a very short space of time I went from complete and utter beginner to successfully passing my bike test. I would like to say this is obviously due to my natural riding ability, however it is blatantly not as I have none!
Superb instruction from Nick and Derek. In particular Nick, who has patience by the bucket load and exhausted every trick going to teach me to do a slow turn in the road without resorting to paddling or swearing very loudly, both of which can apparently fail you on a test!!
The professionalism, commitment and skill level of all your instructors is self-evident and despite it being quite a steep learning curve, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
I have been driving for donkey’s years but aside from the odd spin on a pushbike had no prior motorbike experience. The fact that in a 5-day period I was taught to ride a large bike safely and pass the test is testimony to the standards of tuition at Elite. I have been vigorously recommending you to all and sundry, as I am now a motorcycling fanatic.
Three days after passing I brought a Suzuki SV650 (unfaired) which I rode on a round trip of 200 miles to Cambridge and back one afternoon to acquaint myself with it. I haven’t stopped grinning, but I need to give serious thought to warmer gloves for the winter!
Thanks again. Tony ”
“ I would just like to send a note saying many thanks to Elite at Wembley for getting me through the 4 day DAS course. Days 1 & 2 were very easy going, but also very worthwhile and fun with Derek. Days 3 & 4 on the 500cc was a bit more 'regimented' but needed to be and also enjoyable with Nick. I felt confident enough in my own ability before the course, but both instructors show you within minutes the many faults that I had!!! Once again many thanks to you all and I am looking forward to purchasing something in the very near future. I will also recommend others who I know to Elite.
Many thanks Chris ”
“ Hi Elite, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank Richard and everyone else at Elite for such a fantastic job you do there. I passed my BIG bike test last Wednesday, in part I’m sure to Richard's constant corrections and instructions over the radios. Keep up the good work!
Many thanks once again, Daniel ”
“ Dear Elite, I am pleased to say I passed. I just wanted to say how impressed I have been with everyone in your organisation I have had dealings with. Richard who took me out on the CBT and clearly has patience that goes well beyond that of a saint, Jim who I spent a day and a half with and did wonders for my confidence, Ray who took me over to Croydon this morning and helped iron out any problems I had and finally all the people in the office I have dealt with who have always been polite and prompt in dealing with my enquiries.
Thanks again, and all the best for the future. I know I will be recommending you to others.

“ Overall I found the process and advice from Elite quite excellent. I found that Elite was genuinely interested in training me to pass my test, rather than making money. Although it is obviously in Elite's best interest for trainees to pass the first time around, I found that generally the personable and friendly staff are genuinely good people who knew exactly what they were doing.
Knowing absolutely nothing about the process of obtaining a motorcycle license, I was in touch with Gwyn who I found to be a very patient and helpful person. Email queries were answered within the same day, which is particularly remarkable. Gwyn was particularly helpful in helping me determine which site was most sensible for me to train and I felt he was not trying to take advantage of a complete novice.
Having received a fair amount of education from Professors and Instructors up to the Masters level over the years, I have a good understanding of what is required from a good instructor. H possesses all the qualities of an excellent instructor which include; thorough knowledge of motorcycling in the UK; patience even in instances when the same mistakes were made repeatedly; the ability to motivate students; and a good-natured and personable attitude - which eases tension in what can be a stressful learning experience.
I hope this feedback has been helpful. I think that Elite is a very good training school and will certainly recommend to people who may require training. Kind regards, Leon ”
“ I would like to take this opportunity to thank my instructors (H & Nick) for their contribution towards me passing my full motorcycle test. The instructors where very patient and very professional and were able to make me a safe and confident rider (in fact the quality of riding you learn here is far superior than the level expected for a pass, the key is to listen and you will be guaranteed a pass). Overall the course was a fun experience and all I can say is spot on guys you deserve 10 out of 10. Cheers. Omar ”
“ Hi, Just a short note to say that I thought your course was excellent and both of the trainers I had (Nick and H) were extremely good at their jobs and nice guys with it. I will have no hesitation in recommending your school and H and Nick in particular. I'll also come back at some stage for the advanced training course. Kind regards Martin ”
“ Hi. Just to say thanks to one of your CBT instructors based at Wimbledon (Jim) who tutored myself and partner for the day. He was absolutely fantastic and a great ambassador for Elite. I would be grateful if you would post these comments on your web site. Regards Ron ”
“ I would be grateful if you would pass on my sincere thanks to Nick for his professionalism, dedication and unquestionable expertise as a motorcycle instructor. I remember searching the internet for motorcycle training organisations and in fact only chose Elite due to a recommendation from one of the DSA Examiners from the ****** (hidden for legal reasons) test centre. Adrian ”
“ Hello Elite, I just wanted to first of all say thanks a million to all of you for helping me get through my test. Special thanks please to Nick and H who helped me get to a pass!!! Feedback wise, I think the courses themselves are brilliant. Basically a good job done by all....... Thanks Again.... Samantha ”
“ I have just completed a Direct Access course with yourselves and I was filled with every confidence in the build up to the test and was taught in an incredibly patient manner. Jim made me feel very relaxed and my passing is in no small manner due to his guidance. I will recommend anyone I know towards your courses. Many thanks again. Ash ”
“ I have just received your letter congratulating me on passing, and I thought I would drop a line saying what a great experience it was. My instructor was Graham and I have nothing but praise for his training skills and his ability to make students feel relaxed and comfortable. He is a credit to your company and I will be more than happy to recommend Elite to friends. I would also like to put in a good word for H who took me on my CBT he also was a very fun and informative instructor. On the whole the team were very friendly and made me feel at home. Thanks again. Ben ”
“ Hi, I just wanted to drop you a note to say - THANK YOU! I passed my test with H's help on Tuesday and have been grinning like a Cheshire cat ever since. Everyone at Elite made me feel really comfortable and confident in my ability. I had two road rides with Derek and Graham who were great, and Richard and Nick made the morning talks informative but fun too. Cheers. Kate ”
“ I would like to extend my thanks to all the instructors whose expertise, patience and good humour got me through the 5-day direct-access course and a successful practical. A special thanks to H, who got me from 50cc wuss to confident and safer rider on the 500 on the last 2 days. Alain ”
