If you want to pass your cbt or full licence go with Phoenix in Crystal Palace I wasted £1000 pounds with Bikewize where I failed my mod1 due to not enough training and bad instructions so couldn’t take my mod2 me and another guy both failed and after we both failed the instructor was laughing and joking with the examiner once I failed with Bikewize I went to Phoenix and I mentioned where and why I failed and the instructors there were laughing and saying we get a lot of business from them stay away from this company I wish I had trained with Phoenix in the 1st place I now have my full licence thanks to Phoenix passed 1st time with these they are so much more professional and they don’t shout at you they make you feel comfortable and also cheaper more reasonable Bikewize get lots of bad reviews for a reason I wouldn’t recommend these to anyone

Having Initially passed my CBT with BikeWize in 2012 it made sense to return as I knew what to expect and was sure I would receive everything I need to get me back on the roads. I recently completed my CBT which was broken down in to a well structured day involving listening & learning, show & tell basics and a safe and prsctical ride on the roads with the instructor. Having completed this I spent the next three days training to take my DAS. The instructor delivered all parts of the DAS test throughout these days in an intelligent format which was perfect for myself as I have some experience riding but never have been on anything larger than a 125cc. I found the days to be full of information which I was given plenty of time to understand and practice before being able to get experience on some of the bigger bikes to get me ready for my DAS test. I had no trouble in finding test dates on the same day. All the staff are polite, helpful and friendly & the instructors are very experienced and answered all of my questions. I have already recomended two friends who wish to get their bike license.

The instructor was very rude and at times aggressive. An overall extremely unpleasant experience, especially as you are a paying customer and deserve due respect. Bikewize is an amateur set up bent on humiliating and intimidating their customer base with full knowledge that people rely on them to pass training and therefore know they can get away with such behaviour.

I went to Bikewize after trying another organisation who basically had a money-making factory approach to their customers.

By contrast,I found Bikewize genuinely were interested in me as an individual. When I started with them I had no confidence and was at the point of giving-up. By contrast I have now just passed my CBT with them.

Their instructors are personable, patient, honest and they treated me as a proper customer always putting my welfare first. The whole culture of the company is a family,friendly one which soon puts you at ease. It feels like everyone there has time for you...

I cannot speak highly enough of them and would 100% recommend them without a moment's hesitation. A great bunch of people.

I felt robbed, half way through the day, the instructor stopped the course due to rain and wind ( rain was not heavy) , when queried why we stopped the instructor said the course was taking longer than usual already running 1 hour late and soon it will be dark , we never did the road course and once back in the office we were told we have to pay to do the course again or complete it. Why should we pay when they stopped the course due to no fault of ours.

My son did a cbt with this company and he feels that he was let down by the instructor as he was abrupt aggressive and in no way helpful in anyway. Don't go with this company pay a little bit more.

Don't waste your time!! Go somewhere else. For extra £30 you will get a pleasant, motivational,respectful staff and instructor!!

Bikes provide are very old and tacky. Don't know how to accommodate customers need! Get threaten if u done this and that, it will cost u MONEY!!!

Cbt suppose to be a bloody training not a TEST! They think they have this kind of authority invested on them!!,respect man!

Instructor needs to check hygiene!

Having read some of the previous reviews it is clear that these are "old" and do not refer to the current owners/training team!!

I have undertaken pre-CBT and CBT training with Bikewize and could not be happier with the experience. My trainer was really clear about her instructions, but patient when I did not get it right straight away. She was so encouraging and really build up my confidence and knowledge. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Having said that, the whole staff at Bikewize are really friendly and welcoming, and students with other trainers seemed equally happy and confident with their training. Bikewize make the training a really enjoyable experience.

Strange to read some of the other reviews - I completed my CBT and a 5 day DAS course with BikeWize and never heard an instructor yell at anyone - in retrospect I found all the staff extremely polite, patient and knowledgeable.

I failed the MOD 1 on my first attempt due to nerves but the second time round I passed both MOD 1 and MOD 2 on the same day without a hitch.

All in all I had a wonderful experience. Thank you BikeWize and especially Martin!

Did my CBT with Bikewize on 10th April 2015 and I have to say that the experience was pretty intense. The instructor was at times abrasive (lots of shouting)however there were no favourites because he shouted at everyone in equal measure! it was also very apparent that he really did know his stuff therefore the shouting - although unpleasant when on the receiving end certainly concentrates the mind. Would i recommend Bikewize to anyone that suffers from a nervous disposition - probably not) Would i recommend Bikewize for those wishing to learn lots of really good stuff about life on two wheels then it's a categoric yes.
