Best day of 2025.
I can't begin to thank the team at phoenix enough. From my initial try ride back in July 2024 up to now they have been some of the most great people to learn riding a motorbike with. I had a CBT in January 2025 where I kept falling and decided to take an extra lesson with them to build my confidence. When I said to the instructor Jorge in January that I will stop my CBT early and head home, he was fantastic, understanding with my decision and told me not to worry, it's all practice. Fast forward to early may 2025 I had a lesson with Will, to iron out the issues I had, clutch control and falling... And Will was absolutely amazing, my confidence grew minute by minute and he told me to book my CBT. I booked my CBT again for today 29/05 and when I turned up to the test centre, Jorge was there, instantly remembered me and asked how I was. That small gesture of just remembering me and having a quick chat meant a lot, I could tell he's been waiting to see me again and through the day alongside Will with practice manoeuvres, I was raring to get on the road ride as I felt really confident in myself. Happy to say I completed my CBT this time around without dropping the bike at all! I did accidentally put to much revs and had a brief wheelie which I got under control quickly, which Will spotted and complimented me on controlling it. I cannot thank the team enough for today, the atmosphere, how they inform and educate you on all the training aspects is fantastic, I wish anyone doing a CBT at Bristol to have these two as they were just perfect.

If you want to pass you're cbt then this is the place to go!!! Amazing instructor, very clear and helpful. I was helped along the way in each section and I can honestly say I probably would of struggled if I'd gone elsewhere! I took a try ride the month before my cbt because I'd never rode a motorbike before, this was very helpful and would recommend if like me you have never rode before. Thank you phoenix
