Riverview Rider Training Reviews 

I can’t recommend Riverview Motorcycle Training highly enough! From start to finish, they were so supportive and understanding of my ADHD and anxiety, making me feel completely at ease throughout my CBT. They were patient, encouraging and helped me build my confidence without ever making me feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed. As someone who can struggle with anxiety, this made such a difference to my experience. Thank you for making it such a positive experience and helping me take this step. Highly recommended to anyone thinking of doing their CBT! 🏍️❤️

P.S you were right about the BMW drivers aswell 🤣

Well, what can I say about Riverview… Wayne and the team are absolutely fantastic! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I went along on Saturday having no experience whatsoever on a moped. The guys did their absolute best to help me, using their skills and knowledge to get me ready to pass. Unfortunately, my confidence wasn’t great and I didn’t even manage to get out on the road.
Wayne was brilliant and arranged an appointment for me a few days later for a one-to-one session to help build my confidence.
I arrived in the morning and met John, one of the training instructors, who was going to be doing my one-to-one. What an absolutely amazing guy! He is so knowledgeable, skilled, understanding and patient — and has a great sense of humour too! 😂
John made me feel like I could actually do this. He gave me the encouragement and confidence I needed to believe in myself and go for it.
Well guys… I DID IT! 🥳🛵🎉
Thank you so much to Wayne and the whole team, but most of all, THANK YOU JOHN — YOU’RE A LEGEND! 🙌🏻❤️
I would highly, highly recommend Riverview to anyone thinking about getting their CBT or learning to ride. The support, patience and encouragement I received were amazing.
And if I could give you more stars, I absolutely would! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you, Riverview! ❤️🛵✌🏻

I've done my CBT 3 times at Riverview and have now got my full A licence thanks to their training. Their focus is to make sure you are as safe as you can be on two wheels and it has helped me develop my riding and my confidence. The training is no nonsense with every instructor has been able to get concepts across, I have ADHD and can struggle with verbal explanations but the team were brilliant in supporting me. They are forthcoming with advice and incredible at sorting out retests if they are needed.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and I'm sad I don't have an excuse to go back.

So just done my 5th consecutive day of training coming from no experience riding before a cbt i did last year and managed to pass mod 1 and 2 first time yesterday and today through Wayne and the team. These folks are genuinely the only people I'd recommend if your serious about going two wheels even if its a bit further a field for you. They teach discipline, control and respect of the vehicle below you and have a good laugh throughout with clearly insane levels of experience and knowledge combined between them. Thanks to you all for everything.

I’ve just completed a taster day at Rivers View Motorcycle Training in Hesketh Bank, followed by my CBT the next day, and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

I hadn’t ridden a bike for around 40 years, so I was starting completely from scratch. My trainer, John, made me feel comfortable and at ease from the moment I arrived. He was patient, encouraging and explained everything clearly. Before I knew it, I was confidently carrying out manoeuvres that I never thought I’d be doing so quickly!

I’m now really looking forward to continuing my training for my Direct Access (DAS) and hopefully achieving my goal of getting my full motorcycle licence.

I would highly recommend Rivers View Motorcycle Training to anyone looking to learn or get back on a bike. Fantastic experience and a great trainer! 🏍️👏

5 star experience from the team at Riverview Training.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get involved at any level of riding.
Even an experienced rider myself was learning things from the guys there who’s possibly between them over 150 years of experience to offer you in their training.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic training school. The instructors are knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on rider safety and confidence. Feedback is clear and constructive, and the standard of teaching is consistently excellent.

The facilities are superb, with a training layout that mirrors the test centre and well‑maintained bikes throughout. Riverview is a professional, friendly, family‑run business that clearly takes pride in what they do.

I left with stronger skills, better road awareness, and far more confidence. Highly recommended.

Absolute amazing training company. The service provided from Wayne and the team is next to none, made me feel very welcome and within no time I was riding with confidence. From never riding a bike before I completed the DAS course and within 5 days had completed MOD 1 and MOD 2 and gained my full unrestricted license. Can’t thank the guys enough and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting training.

Had my CBT today, my instructor was absolutely awesome, such a nice guy and so helpful. The environment is nice and everyone here are really good people.

Had a fab time at riverview doing my DAS, passed first time with a clean sheet, very friendly and supportive people who know what they are doing, couldn't recommend them enough!! Thanks guys

Thoroughly professional, safe and fantastic experience. Wayne and his team took myself, who hadn’t ridden a bike for over 10 years and within 5 days on the DAS course I now have a full bike license! Great bikes, great team, great fun but above all, safe & professional!

Not a great example when you see an instructor weaving in between traffic at a small busy junction -overtaking, cutting across in front and undertaking the car in front, followed by him stopping and displaying rude aggressive behaviour when beeped at. Dangerous driving from a so called ‘instructor’…beware!

Me(kyle)
and my wife (Sophia) both had cbt was thinking about doing the DAS. Called spoke with Wayne. Booked first lesson. Was with Wayne really great teacher. Didn't feel rushed he has a great team. All really welcoming. Passed both my mod 1 and 2 thanks to them really happy with the result recommend 100%.

First time riding a motorbike was helped every step of the way can’t thank them enough

Completed my cbt with Jay yesterday, great bloke and great instructor. 10/10 for everything at this place.

Having never ridden anything other than a 125cc I called round many places to get booked in and found it incredibly frustrating to get dates/tests/information until I spoke to Wayne.

Wayne and the team got me in and within the space of 11 days I got through my mod 1 and mod 2 comfortably and feel confident to get out on the road.

Both Mark on my first day and Wayne throughout gave me the knowledge and skills needed and I would recommend learning through them in a heartbeat.

Thanks lads!

Wayne & his team are just ace at teaching motorcycling skills . As a total non rider, female of a certain age , they were patient , supportive with constructive, no nonsense feedback .Loads of laughs & the serious stuff too. I had my mod 2 this week & 3 specific issues /tips Wayne had told us the week before came up on my test . Definitely recommend !!

From CBT, to mod 1 and 2, these guy are the absolute best people to train with, overall fantastic experience, now I can ride the big bikes yaaay, thanks to Wayne and the team.

I have had a great motorbike training experience with Riverview in the past few months.

I initially did a 1 hour taster session which was gave me a basic introduction to riding.

1 month later i successfully completed my CBT. Good days training. I felt safe and learned a lot.

(i then passed my theory)

Last week i passed Mod 1 and this week Mod 2. Brilliant training given by Andy and Wayne for Mod 1&2. Learned loads, and safely passed everything first time. Good fun too.

I would highly recommend.

I must commend the professionalism exhibited throughout the entire journey back to Southport on the A59,such as recording lessons on camera mounted on the bikes, truly set a high standard for training programs. It was impressive to witness all participants being easily visible from a distance and closely following the instructions of the instructor.

Having known about your reputable school for years, I can now attest firsthand to the excellence that it embodies. The dedication to ensuring the safety and proficiency of each rider is truly commendable and reflects the high standards you have set.
