"Lightning Motorcycle Training Oxford"

I booked the Introductory Lesson and based on that was keen to take the Direct Access Scheme. The booking process was efficient and Lightning offered a CBT course in 8 days, a Mod 1 test in about 3 weeks and a Mod 2 test in about 4 weeks time. This timetable suited my learning style as I like a couple of days between each course to reflect on it. Lightning booked the tests for me meaning I could be taking the Mod 2 test 4 weeks before another school I contacted could start training. The instructors are excellent, being patient and keen to pass on their skills. A big thank you to my instructors Jerry, Karl, Piotr, Sam, Pirate and Carl who enabled me to pass the CBT, Mod 1 (13/10) and Mod 2 (21/10) first time! Easy booking, great course and test availability, excellent instructors, overall a brilliant experience. I'll be back for the post test training.

"Great way to safely ride a motorcycle."

Today, at age 62, I sat on a motorcycle for the first time, started it up, undertook a number of exercises on the car park and finished the day on a 2 hour ride on the roads around the training centre. I’ve had the best day!
I’ve been a teacher for 41 years and as part of my work observed probably hundreds of teachers. The instructor we had today, Lyndon, was right up there with the best. He was clear, patient, knowledgeable, allowed each of us to learn at a pace to suit us - all undertaken with good humour, good grace and with our safety welfare his priority. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I passed my CBT and feel very proud. Can highly recommend.

"I took a experienced rider course with…"

I took a experienced rider course with Lighting Motorcycle training. The instructors are amazing. Sam, Karl, Herald, Pirate(Simon) they are amazing instructors have have a loads of knowledge. It’s a good professional company which knows what they are doing. They are good and trustworthy. I would recommend them.

"Don’t recommend booking CBT with them"

Don’t recommend booking CBT with them. I had a puncture on the way and let them know half a hour before. Was going to be 15 minutes late and was told that I was unable to attend the course despite it being a beginners session and having already been riding for 4 years. £175 which they are refusing to refund and £125 to rebook a different date making the total £300 for a cbt. I have proof that I had a puncture at that time, it was a act of god not like I was just running late. Was going to be booking my A2 license today which is over £800 but after how I have been treated this morning will be taking my business elsewhere.

"CBT Training"

Indeth full CBT training giving you the confidence you need along with the training you need to develop your skills for the road, Lindon was an incredible teacher who gave you dedicated time and indepth explanation to all attribute of the CBT.

"Had a CBT today in Reading"

Had a CBT today in Reading with Jerry. Hadn’t ridden a bike for 30 years and wasn’t feeling all that confident, throughout the day Jerrys advice and teaching method raised confidence consistently throughout the day. If you’re thinking about taking a CBT go with lightning, I’m so glad that I did… thank you

"Beware the Reading center"

Avoid the Reading center. If you don't complete your CBT, they will mess you around. Bookings will be cancelled and moved. You'll end up going to another provider.

After seeing the response: I'm sorry to hear about the instructor and wish him a speedy recovery. Thank you for the refund which is appreciated. However I do think you need to make resources more available for people who take a bit longer getting through all the elements. A long wait to complete the CBT is giving your otherwise excellent instruction bad reviews.

"Brilliant Motorcycle training"

Absolutely great motorcycle training. Did the Direct Access experienced course MOD 2 test and passed 1st time without riding a bike for over 35 years!.
The instructors really know their stuff, are full of riding and teaching experience.
They were patient and professional.
I was kept fully up to date with reminders for each lesson and test date, when to come and what to bring.
I can't thank them enough.
I was recommended by a friend who also passed first time and would not hesitate to recommend them also.

"CBT training with Todd"

I recently did my CBT training with Todd, who was a top bloke! Really thorough and supportive training and even for having three of us all at different stages in knowledge of riding, got through the training perfectly and tailored for each of us!

Definitely looking at doing my full licence and will be back with LMT 👍🏼

"Thanks to LMT who did not postpone the…"

Thanks to LMT who did not postpone the CBT for the experienced renewal riders on what was a super hot day. And many thanks to Jerry, who skillfully judged the needs of the riders and adavnced their learning beyonf the CBT in busy Oxford trafic.
