Review of A2Z rider training from 16 June 2013

I originally took my CBT with A2Z 2 years ago and thought they were good. I initially selected them because they were local and did CBT's on the weekends. When I decided to do DAS they were my immediate choice. Tina takes the bookings and is extremely polite and professional. Before booking a course, Tina asked me to pop in one Sunday and Ossie checked my standard of riding. This to me is customer care. They then recommended the 4 days course which was done on a Wed/Thu/Fri and Sun, all in one week. This was followed by the two tests the following week which Ossie accompanies you to and gives you warm up time before the test. Ossie is methodical in his approach. The Sunday is spent at the test centre getting to know the level 1 routine. Ossie knows the pit falls, works on these and then applies the right mix general and specific training to best prepare and to give you the best chance of passing. The rest is down to you. In my opinion, they are a great family run business dedicated to their customers. I would highly recommend them.

Review of A2Z rider training from 29 May 2013

I renewed my CBT with A2Z almost a year ago then went on to do DAS with a different school - unfortunately had a bad experience then failed my Mod 1 and did not continue. After building my confidence back up over the year (on my faithful scooter with L plates) I went with A2Z for a 4-day DAS course... and what a difference! All my apprehension and nervousness, fear of making mistakes and being told off, were all wiped away. Ossie took me through everything like I was new student, explained what to be aware of and what to know without waiting for me to make the mistakes on the road and correct me then; he just got it all out of the way. Each day made me more confident, no question was ever a stupid question, no bad habits couldn't be fixed and no mistakes couldn't be fixed for the next time. He armed me with everything I needed to know and instilled a lot of good methods. I went on to do both tests on Tuesday 28 May and was done by 10.30am ...PASSED! So excited to be picking up my Kawasaki Versys 650 today!! Thank you Ossie and Tina - a true family run and close knit friendly neighbourhood business. If you can get to north London, go with A2Z Rider Training.

Can't rate A2Z enough. Ozzie knows exactly what he's doing to not only get you through the test but to ride safely afterwards - a lot of pointers at the right time without over-loading you with too much information.

On top of that great banter across each session to make what could otherwise be a stressful environment very enjoyable and satisfying. The bikes are also some of the best I have seen offered across training courses.

Cheers Richard

Review of A2Z rider training from 13 May 2013

I have just passed my CBT and full DAS with Ozzie/Tina and A2Z rider training, and all I can say is that it was an amazing experience. Ozzie is the main man with over 30 years of riding under his belt, and without his knowledge, expertise and calm attitude I wouldn't be riding my Kawasaki Versys today. If you are thinking about getting a bike licence, use A2Z rider training, you wont regret it.

A2z Rider training - Outstanding. Firstly, Tina - she's makes booking the right course simple. Very friendly and polite, even if you don't book, call her for a chat, she's lovely! Ossie - outstanding teacher. He doesnt make you feel nervous about weak areas, he gives you encouragement as and when it's needed. He doesn't give you his life story of how he started riding either, the time is well spent on learning to ride! And yes, I passed... I cannot reccomend A2Z riding training enough, they are the top end of motorcycle training with a very friendly attitude. Highly Reccomended.

Review of A2Z rider training from 23 April 2013

I just passed my DAS test with A2Z, and I would not have done it without the calm, patient, knowledgable, funny and caring training of Ozzie, who trained me over my 5 day course. I'd never riden a geared bike, or 1 with so much power (I'd ridden a twist & go 125 for 4 years) and Ozzie guided me every step of the way. Tina on the phone is wonderful too, so thoughtful and helpful. A2Z train you for your Module 1 AND 2 tests on the same day which means you take your Module 1 with so much bike knowledge - you won't fail your M1 the A2Z way! Ruth, 32, Hackney

I would strongly advise using a2z rider training to complete your Motorcycle training. I took my CBT, Geared Conversion and DAS training with them and now have my Full Bike License. The Service that Ossie and Tina offer is 2nd to none. Tina organises everything for you so all you have to do is turn up with your documents and you can then start your training with Ossie. Thanks to you both for all your help and support.

Review of A2Z rider training from 5 February 2013

Quick note to say how grateful I am for AtoZ’s hard work getting me through my CBT and DAS.

Very impressed with the very small class sizes (2 including me on DAS) and this really helped in the long run to ride to a high standard and sail through both my DAS Module 1 & Module 2 first time. What works really well is the personal approach and actual desire for students to pass first time around – plus the coaching/mentoring is certainly focused this way. It was also great that you use brand new bikes (both CBT and DAS) and they are a pleasure to ride.

If anyone is considering price matching then what you don’t realise is that you are receiving high quality tuition that will get you through first time. I can see this in hindsight when talking to a friend who went to a different place.

I highly recommend this family run business and am planning on coming back for the Advance Rider Programme when the weather improves.

Thanks very much Ozzie & Tina.

Review of A2Z rider training from 3 January 2013

really happy with the tuition received. not the cheapest but when it comes to riding a bike it's important that you learn to ride safely and I think a2z (ossie in particular) have ensured that is the case. Plus the central london location is very handy.
I did both my CBT and DAS with a2z and was very happy with the quality of the tuition, equipment and personel. would definitely recommend to any aspiring riders out there.

Review of A2Z rider training from 19 December 2012

I just passed my DAS with A2Z and I must say Ossie is a very good instructor. He does give you all the standard instructions in order to drive safely and also give you all these little tips that are really usefull on the test day. He is tough when he needs to be and rewarding when you drive like you should. This is a great way to teach and it did work for me. I already highly recommended him to my friends and I would highly recommend him for you !

Review of A2Z rider training from 26 November 2012

Hi
my name is kevin and I have attended 3 CBT courses...I very much enjoyed the training at A2Z
the instructor Jackson was great at imparting both technical and practical skills.
The training was stimulating and very comprehensive and I would recommend trainees bring a notebook as so many valuable points were covered.

I highly recommend A 2 Z as very thorough and insightful training.

Review of A2Z rider training from 22 November 2012

The negative reviews here are as far away from my experience as it is possible to get.

I went to A2Z to do my CBT on a manual bike. As it was my first time on any bike I think I was slightly optimistic about getting out on the road first time. I didn't feel ready and at the end of the day safety is their main priority. I was disappointed but in retrospect it was for the best. Second time I passed and got my CBT in October 2012.
I wanted to do my DAS before Jan because of the new law meaning I would have to wait until I was 27 before taking my DAS... I'm 22, I wasn't prepared to wait 5 years. Ozzy, the DAS teacher, was patient, informative and forgiving... I did drop his bike so he could have been mad.
I passed my DAS in November 2012.
The whole operation was run smoothy by Ozzy's beter half who supplied me with all relevant data and kept everything as easy as possible.
A great experience throughout, and the important thing is, with the quality and intense training your confidence on the bike builds nicely.
I would recommend anyone in London to learn here.
Cheers Ozzy and family for everything!

Review of A2Z rider training from 19 November 2012

I disagree with a negative comments. Instructors were really professional, and also they are the riders, with a sense of humour, which is part of a riding life.

And I DID NOT get a CBT certificate from a first attempt, and I had to come a second time. It took me longer cos I was doing it on a geared 125cc.. They saw that I need more practice before going on the road, and I trusted them. I didn't panicked or blamed them, as you train not to save money, but for your safety. You will earn quickly everything what you spend on the training if you will be safe on the road, if not, you will not get a chance to spend the money you just saved. TRAIN TO BE SAFE, it doesn't matter how many days you need. Don't blame instructors.

I really happy I've choosen A2Z, as after CBT, I went for A2, and I passed it in a first attempt.

Big thanks to O & T, and all A2Z team.

Review of A2Z rider training from 19 November 2012

I’ve just passed my DAS M1 & M2 tests following a 4 day tuition course with A2Z Rider Training.

With A2Z I felt in great hands, they were very patient and I felt they balanced pushing me to progress with keeping a strong watch over my safety.
I could feel Ossie adapting his teaching style to suit my style of learning and both He and Tina have been on hand from the beginning of my CBT to answer any queries and concerns.

A2Z put you through both M1 & M2 tests on the same day, and you learn the skills to progress on the M1 test (slow riding etc) whilst out on the open road.
I really benefited from practising the M1 test at the test centre prior to the day – something not all of the other schools offer.

They’ve taken me from CBT to DAS in 2 – 3 months and they also let me pay for the course / tuition in instalments.

A very positive experience overall.

Review of A2Z rider training from 9 November 2012

i personally found the instructors to be informative, easy going and great to deal with. They were amazing teachers and took me from never riding a bike to a A2 licence in less than 2 months. I personally cant agree with the negative comments they were amazing. London's roads are dangerous and if you have been failed its because your not safe..... i was giving specific instructions and was coached to success. I highly recommend it and they are honest with your driving so if its bad they will tell you and help you improve and that's what you need in order to pass as i did......

I honestly don't understand the negative reviews here, they seem to be frustrated comments from people who failed their test... Anyway, I did my CBT with a2zridertraining and all went very well so I came back to them for my full licence. I passed my A2 first time, all thanks to Tina and Ossie at a2zridertraining. They did an amazing job at showing and explaining everything i needed to know and do to pass. Ossie knows what to say and how to say it! Great service, great method. 3 days of training and i knew what i had to do to pass. Thanks a million!

A2z are a charming and thoroughly professional family business with a very human touch. Ossie and Tina will look after you until you are confident on the road. Thanks for the efficient CBT lesson; will be coming back for the motorbike license practice lessons soon! Would recommend them to all I know.
