“Hi,

I would just like to quickly thank the trainers at Wimbledon, Pete, Mick and Peter who were excellent teachers and great bunch to spend days out on the bike with. Their expertise was much appreciated. Unfortunately, there is nothing that springs to mind that I could recommend needs changing or adding to improve my experience at Elite.

Well done and thanks again,

Damien”

“Hi

Just wanted to thank you all at Elite for helping me pass my DAS motorcycle licence first time. Special thanks to Nick, Dell and Richard for the training.

Considering that I had never ridden a motorbike till about three weeks ago I think you all done a wonderful job.

A huge thank you to you all again and I would recommend Elite to any one who wants good value for money and excellent tuition.

Darren”

“Hi guys,

Thank you very much for getting me through the training and eventually passing my test.

You guys were and are a fantastic group of professionals.

You made me feel very confident and relaxed with your humour and personal touch. I will recommend anyone interested in biking to come to you.

Keep up the great work.

Thank You,

Regards Calvin.”

“I would just like to say a big thank you to Nick, Rich and H for getting me through it. The blokes were extremely patient but still managed to drum it all home. It was a pleasure to have been trained by them but someone needs to have a word with H as he is not as good looking as he thinks.

Once again many thanks to the blokes for making my bike training and test challenges both rewarding and enjoyable. See you down the ACE, Graham”

“I suppose this wouldn't be the most constructive feed, as there isn't anything that I would like to change. Every single day with Elite was an enormous pleasure. Special thanks to Nick, Mick, Pete and Richard.

I suppose if I have to give you advice that is to make sure you do anything to keep those guys with you because they are what separates you from the competitors.

I suppose the only reason I feel sad that I passed my test is that I won't see you again, unless I get 12 points of course in which case I know I am coming straight to you again. Keep up the good work and best of luck!

Kind Regards

Konstantin”

“Hello,

Just wanted to thank the Elite Motorcycle Training team for helping me pass my DAS motorcycle licence first time. You have great instructors and great facilities especially at Wembley, really good training area to practice for Module 1 test. It was really useful that you have a speed gun, which makes it easier to prepare for the high speed exercises in Module 1 test.

Special thanks to Mick with whom I been riding most of the days, really good instructor explains everything clearly and gives really good tips on how to improve your riding skills.

Best,

Evaldas”

“I passed this morning at the Pinner test centre without any minors!

I would just like to say many thanks to both Nick and H for their training over my 3 day Direct Access course. Their tuition, communication and professionalism were excellent whilst being relaxed which is great.

The facilities at Elite (Wembley) are great - use of the car park for practising mod1 was really good and I really liked the way you were just allowed to ride around the car park first thing to get yourself used to the bike - I think this really helps.

Many thanks and I maybe interested in the future to do an advanced course.

Kind regards, Matthew”

“Hi to all at Elite,

Just a quick email to say thank you very much to everyone for getting me through my motorbike test. Considering I had never even sat on a motorbike prior to starting my 5 day direct access course it is a credit to your friendly and experienced instructors that I passed my test first attempt.

I cannot recommend you highly enough to people that I know who are looking into starting to ride.

I would like to thank Pete and Nick for their excellent instruction and especially thank Peter, who instructed me for four days out of five on my course. Once again, thank you all very much.

Best wishes,

Mark”

“Just to say a big thanks to Peter and H for getting me through mod 1 & 2, for teaching not just the skills to pass the test but also riding skills for the real world. Thanks to Becky for arranging everything around my tight work schedule. C u on the roads! Adam.”

“Dear Elite Motorcycle Training,

I normally avoid doing these feedback things, but in this case I genuinely felt like dropping you a line to tell you what I thought of your course.

The whole thing was a lot more involved than I had expected, it has been a long time since I sat any sort of test and it really felt good to flex the brain in new directions.

I passed my test first time round which might taint my view, saying that I was thoroughly impressed with the service that you provided. I enjoyed the trainers and the whole experience, I felt like a made a few new friends. I will refer you to anyone seeking motorcycle training, brilliant!

Cheers! Jeff”

“Having had a negative experience with another training school and getting on two wheels at a relatively late stage in life, not to mention needing my CBT to start my London Taxi Knowledge training, to say I was apprehensive is an understatement!

I needn't have worried, your instructor Peter at Wimbledon was an absolute star, always patient, yet quietly determined to get me up to the required standard. This, coupled with the general quality of instruction and decent machines to ride, meant taking and passing my CBT was a great day out.

To anyone thinking of motorcycle training, choose Elite - the clue's in the name! - Alan”

“Hi, I just wanted to say a quick thank you to the Elite team - the instructors and office staff all made it a very enjoyable course and made learning to ride very easy.

I've just bought my first bike and am very much enjoying getting some miles under the belt!

Many thanks

Justin”

“Dear Elite Motorcycle Training,

I cannot thank you guys enough. I am convinced that if it wasn't for the quality of your instructors, their experience, their patience, advice and support, then I would not have passed my Direct Access on my first attempt. I would always, beyond hesitation, recommend your company to anyone wanting to either take the CBT or beyond.

Please pass on my sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone, the instructors and also Becky in your operations/administration team. I have always found you all to be friendly, courteous and a real pleasure to talk to.

My Special Thanks to you All

Richard”

“Hi Becky,

Just passed the test this morning; very pleased!

Can you pass on a big thank you to the whole team of instructors that took me around the last few weeks, especially (little ;-) Pete, Mick, H and Peter. Wouldn't have been able to do it without them!

Thanks again ;-)

Marike.”

“Thanks to all the staff and trainers at Elite for getting me through the bike test, you guys are superb.

I hope all your dreams come true in the future....

Once again, thank you.

David”

“Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

It's Magdy and I just recently passed my DAS with you guys.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to all of you who helped me with my training starting from CBT (Nick), to my assessment day (H) to my course leading up to Module 1 and 2 (Derek, Richard, Nick and H again).

You've all been fantastic and so professional but more importantly I had a great time and a lot of fun which for me made the whole process more relaxed and enjoyable.

I don't have a single negative thing to say, I think the approach all of you have to helping us understand how to ride safely and correctly was brilliant and I look forward to coming back to do my advanced training...thank you again guys!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!

Also want to say a massive thank you to Becky for helping with the rearranging of my Module 2 due to the recent weather conditions. Thanks for your hard work and patience with me...you're a star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've already been recommending Elite to everyone I know cos I truly think you all are brilliant!!! Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you all again real soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ride safe, Mags”

“Hi guys

I just wanted to say thanks very much for the training. I had a brilliant time doing my direct access training with you and thought that the training was first rate. In particular, I'd like to thank -

• Becky for putting up with me and arranging new training sessions to take account of the various changes to the training that were forced on us by work and weather; and
• Jim and Peter for the time that they spent with me - I found them knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They were diligent in preparing us for both modules of the direct access test (and really, it was my own stupidity that meant I didn't pass the first time).

I have already recommended others to do the training program with you so that gives an indication of how happy I was with the quality of training provided. Best regards - Simon”

“Hi all. Thanks for an amazing experience over the past few weeks. Every single instructor I had, Derek, Pete, Richard, were all very, very good, patient, amusing and extremely knowledgeable. Pete especially had fun trying to get me through the mod 1 which he did first time!

Thanks again. Great value for money. Matt”

“Dear all,

Just a quick note to say thanks to all the Elite team who successfully took me through sitting on a bike for only the second time to passing my test. I’d like to give special thanks to Jim, Pete and Mick for their time and patience!

I have had a fantastic time with Elite and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for motorcycle training.

Thanks again, very much, Richard”

“Hello Becky,

I have been very impressed with the 3 Day Direct Access training I received, not to mention the professional and common sense advice from my instructors Pete and Peter. Their methods and advice prepare you for riding in the real world rather than getting you to a level to just scrape through the practicals!

As such I felt very confident going into both my module 1 and module 2 tests and was absolutely chuffed to pass both first time with just a couple of minor faults on Mod 2.

I found the facilities to be very good, with bikes in great working condition and I found training on the replica mod 1 course at Wembley really useful.

I'm now looking forward to trading up from the Vespa and embarking on some proper roads trips next summer.

Many thanks, Phillip”

“I would like to thank all the team at ELITE for helping me pass my test on 02/11/09. I did a 4 day DAS with Elite and it went very well. It was an amazing experience.

Each instructor was great and very helpful throughout the training. I would recommend Elite to others thinking of learning to ride.

Nav”

“Hi Becky,

Just a quick note to say thank you for all your help in booking my lessons and tests.

I passed module 2 on Tuesday with only two minors and I am now looking forward to buying a shiny new bike in the New Year when the better weather returns.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the tuition and will continue to recommend your school to friends and family.

Thanks again, Craig”

“Hi, I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone involved with Elite in helping me pass. From booking my course to completion, everyone was very friendly yet professional. All the instructors had great advice and facilities were first rate.

I managed to pass both modules first time with their help.

Thanks, Joe”

“Hello Elite Team!

I want to thank you for all the patience that I have been shown by all the instructors.

I think going through the course of doing my CBT on to my DAS I received a good level of experience from all the instructors and that instilled confidence in me and allowed progression through the modules to a eventual successful pass!

I will be recommending Elite to my friends and colleagues that are interested in getting a motorbike, be it a 50cc Vespa or a GSX-R!

Keep up the great work and I will no doubt see you on the road, look out for a Kawasaki Green - ZX6-R! :-)

All the best, Robin”

“Hi

I passed both modules 1st time. I found the instructors to be very experienced and their techniques in teaching and pin pointing errors were excellent.

The mod 1 practice ground in Wembley helped heaps and gave an excellent teaser to what was to come.

I recommend Elite to anyone who wants to learn safely and pass with confidence. Nick's feedback is 5* when riding... will be back for more advanced training! Sandeep”

“Dear Gwyn and the fantastic team from Elite.

I would just like to say a HUGE, HUGE thank you to you all. From the word go you have been incredibly professional and made the whole experience extremely enjoyable. (Mind you being 6'4 and spending a full day on a 125 was slightly painful but I believe I have Mick to thank for that).

The training I received was second to none and I would like to name names. Gwyn for your patience and professionalism on the phone, Pete for the priceless tips and training. You certainly know your onions. Also you have an incredible library of completely useless information but amusing never the less and it kept me going. The other Pete for taking me up for my test and the extremely valuable tips on my Mod 2 day. And Mick for my assessment ride. I still have a sore backside after the day on the 125. Just keep an eye on those stationary vans.

A huge thank you to you all. I will certainly be recommending Elite in the future. Thanks again guys. Sean”

“I'd like to thank Pete for his patience and expertise in getting me through my CBT today. I will recommend Elite to anyone thinking of starting out or furthering their skills and will definitely be back to take my test when I have a little more experience. Terry”

“Hi Elite,

I would just like to thank you for everything over the past couple of weeks, as I passed my Mod 2 1st time this morning.

In particular to Becky for fitting everything in, in record time! (about 10 days I think). Also to Richard for my CBT day (comical commentary of all the rubbish drivers out there!), Peter for building my confidence on the 125cc, H for introducing me to 500cc, fine tuning my shoulder checks and getting me through Mod 1 with no minors even though he claimed I deserved one..? and finally Nick who took me on test day.

Thanks a lot,

Rob”

“Richard,

Many thanks to all of the instructors who have helped me pass my test. It has been an enjoyable experience with lots of entertainment. I found the practise at Wembley for my Module 1 a very valuable experience and definitely would not have passed without the practise. It looks and sounds easy, harder without practice. This was demonstrated by another training school that did not have a great success on the day.

The team should be proud of the encouragement and confidence that their training brings.

Thanks again

Steve”

“Hi Richard,

Feedback:

• I did my CBT with another school but switched to Elite for the DAS. I'm very happy I did: passed Module 1 with no faults and Module 2 with one minor fault (about which the examiner was almost apologetic in the post-exam review).
• Just as important, I'm much more confident in my defensive riding in heavy town traffic, on dual carriageways and when other drivers are all over the road.
• I enjoyed the instructors' sense of humour and ability to instill good riding habits quickly.

If I had to do it again, I would go with Elite from the beginning.

Best regards, David”

“Dear Elite Motorcycle Training

May I just take this opportunity to say a massive thank you for taking me through my motorcycle training from CBT to a full bike license.

Richard was my instructor on my CBT and he was also my instructor for my DAS course and I found his training helpful, knowledgeable with a little bit of fun thrown in which is always good to get the message through.

I found your communication through the booking process excellent and this high standard was continued throughout the process from start to finish.

I look forward to having many safe years on my motorbike, and those messages Richard drilled in over the course will stay with me forever.

Many thanks, and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to any friends and family hoping to take motorcycle training.

Kind Regards, Declan”

“I’d have to say a big thanks to you guys trapped in the office (Gwyn and Becky) for sorting my training out around my one day off every two weeks. And yes, a big thanks to Peter and Richard for shouting loud enough so people on the Blackpool tower knew I was doing things wrong. I thought only my wife had their patience. And be warned, Richard does sing to you too. All the best, John.”

“I can’t really think of anything that your team missed. Both my instructors, Jim and Peter were very helpful and I felt in good hands at all times. Thank you very much for making this so easy for me. Alex”

“Dear all,

Just to say a big thank you to all the instructors at Elite for their great tuition and advice from start to finish.

Neil on CBT – fantastic, Derek and Nick on 125 manual training - good training and instruction and finally ‘H’ on 500cc – you were da man! (You were right, I never want to look at a 125 again!)

Thanks guys, I will spread the word!

Kind regards and best wishes, Hugo”

“Many thanks to the entire team at Elite Motorcycle Training. Richard, Nick, Jim and the rest of the guys are very professional and a great group to learn from (Richard’s humorous commentary while riding also gets top grades!!). I will highly recommend Elite to anyone that is looking for rider training in London. Best regards, Adam”

“Hi guys, I recently just passed my CBT training in Wembley with a member of staff called Neil and I would just like to say how happy I am with the level of professionalism and friendliness I received on the day and will definitely be recommending your company to friends whom wish to do theirs, and will 100% be using you in the future to gain further experience in higher levels of training. Yours gratefully, Larry.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Nick and Richard personally for their professionalism in getting me through the Direct Access motorbike test.

At the age of 47, riding a motorbike did not come naturally for me and through my perseverance and with their experience and manner they gave me the confidence to go for it and ultimately pass.

So many thanks to them both and Elite overall for doing what they said they would for me - get me through the tests.

I would highly recommend Elite to all who wish to learn to ride safely and pass their test.

Jack”

“Thanks, Elite, for helping me to pass my test yesterday. After two days of road riding, first with Mick and then with Neil, I felt confident and completely informed. They’re both lovely men who treated me with respect and care. Their knowledge was invaluable.

Best Regards,

Tessa”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the team at ELITE for helping me pass my test. Especially Rebecca And Richard.

Rebecca for being able to get me a test date before the new test comes in… thank you very much. And to Richard for taking me to the test and giving me excellent training on the way and also for the ride back…

Cheers once again, keep up the hard work

Eugene”

“Thank YOU, wouldn’t have done it with out you guys!! So I wonder how many cream eggs you guys bet on whether I would pass or not? Come on own up!! Please thank Mick for telling me I could do it, Jim for telling me to put my foot down, Richard for teaching me to filter and Nick for nailing that turn in the road, cheers, Selina”

“I would just like to say a big thank you to all the Instructors at the Wimbledon Stadium site… their patience and dedication was above and beyond my expectations! From my first nervous days of my CBT to passing my DAS, they were all so tolerant and understanding (or gave that impression!) They never seemed to get flustered or annoyed at anything-even going round roundabouts 100's of times! Thank you guys! Graham”

“Hi,

Thanks to all at Elite that contributed to me finally passing the test!

I appreciate the effort you all went to and it was a great experience.

Kind Regards, Kevin”

“Many thanks to the two Peters and Jim for their endless patience during my motorcycle training, solid advice and good humour (and particularly Jim’s spooky knowledge of the likely route) that saw me pass my test earlier in the week.

It’s been a pleasure dealing with Gwyn and Becky in the Elite office too. A totally professional service all round.

Best wishes and thanks again, Regards, Sean”

“Hi, I did a 4 day DAS with Elite and it went very well. It was an amazing experience.

All the instructors were very good (Jim, Peter and Pete (who went with me on the day of test))

I actually like the approach he took explaining everything while riding. Thanks all, I had a great time. Thanks again, Moheb.”

“Hello, I just wanted to express my thanks and tell you of the great experience I had when taking my direct access course back in May. Apologies that I have only just got around to writing to you! I was particularly nervous and I had had a bad experience previously with another company whilst doing my CBT. I decided to give Elite a go, but feared that I may suffer a similar experience, particularly being a young female and dealing with people's ageist and sexist attitudes.

However, immediately I was put at ease by Nick who was very friendly and entertaining! Over the few days I also had H and Mick as my instructors who I also found to be fantastic instructors. Their attitude towards people is perfect and even though the purpose of our custom is a serious one, they all managed to incorporate a lot of fun into it! I was actually sad that my dealings with Elite were over when I passed the test on the Friday! I wish more companies were like yourselves and I will always recommend Elite as a fantastic training school. Lauren.”

“I just wanted to say a big thanks to all the instructors at Elite who managed to take two novice riders through a CBT and four day DAS. We found everyone at Elite to be very friendly and completely professional. I would especially like to thank Richard and Jim who were absolutely fantastic and without whom I wouldn't be off to buy a bike tomorrow. Cheers again,

All the best,

Matt and Andy”

“Good morning,

I passed my A2 licence yesterday, and just wanted to say a big thank you to Elite. In particular can I thank the guys at Wembley (especially Derek) for the expert tuition – top class.

Kind regards, Tony”

“Hey, I took my CBT with you this Saturday and had Jim as an Instructor. I wanted to pass on how great he was and that he made the whole day enjoyable - very calming. Many Thanks Neill”

“Hi Elite,

I just wanted to write and thank everyone at Elite for getting me through my DAS and getting me my licence! I did the 3 day DAS last weekend with my test up in Pinner on Monday afternoon. Saturday was on the CG125's with Mick, Sunday with Jim on the ER5 and then test day with Richard. All 3 of them made the training fun, definitely enjoyable and gave me all the support that I needed when things starting getting a bit frustrating………..doing 45 minutes of U turns in the car park would have tested the patience of any instructor…..! Humour plays a big part in what they do and it's obvious that they are both committed and passionate about what they do - which is infectious in slightly nervous pupils!

It was a pleasure to spend the 3 days with them and their help and experience of riding bikes has certainly given me a huge amount of confidence on a larger bike. I will certainly be recommending you guys to anyone wanting to learn to ride 2 wheels.

Thanks again to all 3 of them for their help in getting me through the licence!! Simon”

“Dear Elite

Just a quick note to say thank you and for organising (Becky) and beasting (Richard, Nick & Jim) me through the DAS (+ a day for being a U–turn specimen) before the October deadline.  Much appreciated.  

Will happily recommend you to anyone else considering doing their test.  Just the right balance of humour, a**e kicking and constructive tuition.

Thanks again, Marcus”

“Hi Guys,
I'd just like to say thanks for a great DAS course over the last few weeks. I did the 3 day course and passed first time. Please could you pass on my thanks to Derek and H for their superb instruction throughout the course? I have to admit I was sceptical as to whether I could get up to test standard in just 2 and a bit days of instruction but the guys worked wonders! As a complete novice with only a CBT and a couple of days on a hired 125 under my belt I was amazed at how quickly the guys developed my abilities on the road.
Not only have you enabled me to pass my test first time but you have also encouraged me to take further training once I have had some more saddle time and experience. H's obvious passion for motorbikes is infectious throughout and will no doubt lead to me buying a bike a lot sooner than planned!

Thanks for the best possible introduction to motorcycling! Jack”

“Hi there, would just like to say a huge thank you to Peter, H and Nick, who, as well as being great instructors, helped to inspire confidence in me after I felt a bit gutted about not passing my initial CBT. I am now up and running on a manual and loving it. Thanks guys for being patient, cheerful and most of all for assuring me I could do it.

Always grateful. Michelle”

“I did the CBT on Monday at Wimbledon. Just to say that Pete was
excellent - knowledgeable, easy to learn from, motivated and commanded
confidence. I am very glad I did the course and very grateful for his
patient teaching – Malcolm”

“Dear Elite,
Please pass on my thanks to Richard and Jim for taking me through my DAS course and helping me pass the test at the first attempt. They were both great instructors and a pleasure to spend a day riding with.

And to all budding bikers training with you at the moment – keep your head up on those U-turns!

All the best,
Alex”

“Hi, I would like to thank H and Nick for what they have taught me for the last 3 days and helped me pass my test. Real people with a lot of experience make me to pass the hard test with no doubts at all! I have even had a 'nice ride' from the 'robot' examiner. Thank you guys! Keep up the good work –
Excellent mark at the end!
Metodi ”

“Gwyn,
Thanks for your congratulatory letter (after passing my test last Friday).
The training was very professional and safe, and my instructors clearly had many years experience at both riding and instructing.
I have a friend who it transpires has failed three times because he hasn't had any tuition (the big numpty), so I've given him your card.
Keep up the good work,
Adrian”

“Hello

Many thanks for the congratulatory letter that I received on Monday. A quick note to thank the team and especially Richard for a thoroughly positive experience learning to ride with Elite; I really enjoyed the sessions and I will have no hesitation in recommending the school to friends.

All the best
Graham”

“Richard, Peter & Jim

Many thanks for the hard work, patience and most importantly the excellent training. I was unsure that I could go from riding an automatic 125cc to pass my test on a 500cc bike. But you clearly know your stuff, know how to teach it and despite the constant reminders to 'turn my indicators off', you got me through the test.

Ten days later, I have the new licence, and have already been out test riding bikes. Brilliant.

Thanks to you all. Cheers, Craig.”

“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 loving 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.

Julian”

“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 at my local 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”
