1 Stop Instruction Reviews 

Good jokes, good advice, calm demeanour

I passed my CBT and I rarely write reviews but felt compelled to in this case. The booking process was smooth and the informative emails before the day were clear and concise.

The facilities were….ok. It’s basically a warm container ship with no fridge (not great for my tuna sandwich lol). But that’s not a disaster.

My issue is with the instructor, Steve (Ilford test Centre). He clearly had a negative bias to the Indian guy on my course, so much so that he gave him the worst equipment, shouted at him constantly and basically felt that he had the right to continually talk down to him. He’d have banter with some other students about pie and mash and the 70s and then swear constantly if the Indian guy struggled with something he had literally learnt for 5 minutes.

This is meant to be a course, but from the start there was no real teaching, it was instead barking and swearing. I get we all have off days but I got the impression that Steve thrives on sending people home early.

The Indian guy got sent home (he wasn’t the best but I do feel that he would have been better if he was actually taught rather than ridiculed).

The rest of the day continued and we went out on the road. Constant contradictions from Steve on communication, things like

Steve: “school on your right always 20 mph…”
Then “why are you only going 20 mph ffs…”
Me “because we’re going past a school”
Steve “don’t wanna hear it”

I passed as there was nothing he could really fail me on but I can definitely see how so many people fail here. Steve makes you feel on edge constantly, and as though you are a naughty kid. I’m a 40 year old finance professional! Not that it matters, everyone should be spoken to with a certain level of respect.

I would avoid this company at all costs, not because the facilities are a bit shoddy (the helmets and gloves are mouldy and stink) but purely just because for 200 quid, you’d expect professionalism and common courtesy. You don’t get that here. Will be looking elsewhere when I have to renew in 2 years.

I had an excellent experience during my CBT training – everything was extremely well-organised and professional. Peter was not only highly knowledgeable, but also friendly and patient, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The entire day went perfectly, and I felt safe and confident throughout the training. I would highly recommend it!

Actually one of the instructor called Steve is really rude and impolite towards trainees .
Charlie is great instructor
My hands r still stinking after 5 washes in home due to their gloves
I even donne when they washed it last
time
Please avoid this place

The instructor (manik) was so good at his job he done it very well helped alot very clam explained everything clearly very good experience with instructor (manik)

First of all it's easy to book online and they have branches all over London to attend the courses.
The instructor was very thorough and explained everything in detail.
He was patients and made us all repeat same exercises back to back to see if we had good control and knowledge of the bike. Also the instructor was very respectful towards all.

It’s really good

I started off riding in May with 1 Stop. All their instructors are amazing and have helped me pass to get my full A license. Highly recommend them if you want to become a confident biker.

I had a great experience with my instructor Manik. He was cool, calm, clear throughout the whole process. He explained everything well and made sure I felt confident and safe, and was very patient. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone taking their CBT

Thanks for everything very good.

Manik explained everything very well

I had a great time, and the extractor, Manik, was very good and friendly.

Manik was the best today, greatest instructor with clear instructions and good communication and feedback he’s absolute legend, very lenient and kind and is extremely patient and very helpful please show him some love

I did my CBT and Direct Access course with 1 Stop & passed 1st time on everything.. what a great, professional outfit this is! All the instructors really know their stuff, you can tell they are a league above other schools! Couldn’t recommend enough, thanks Pepsi & Tony!

I had a disappointing experience with this CBT training centre, which I booked through RideTo using their Peace of Mind policy.

From the beginning, the instructor was overly strict and made me feel uncomfortable. I was repeatedly singled out with more questions than others, despite answering correctly. During the road ride, I was shouted at in situations where I had done nothing wrong — for example, when a car gave way to me and I proceeded safely, the instructor began yelling before realising I was in the right.

I didn’t pass the CBT, which I’ve accepted — but what really shocked me was the final report the instructor submitted to RideTo. It was full of inaccuracies and outright falsehoods, which made it impossible for me to use the Peace of Mind policy for a free retake.

I would not recommend this centre, especially if you’re booking through RideTo. Be very cautious — a misleading report can cost you both time and money.

Was daunting to get back on two wheels again but all that went away, Marvin & Manik made sure of that. Their patience and approach are second to none. Looking forward to progressing with this school to obtain my full license.

Really positive experience doing my DAS with 1Stop. The standard of the instruction is outstanding and the standard expected of the students is extremely high which is exactly what you need to stay safe out on the roads! I had about 1 year of 125 riding experience and a 1-2-1 lesson prior to the course. Planning to come back for further training in future.

Excellent and clear tuition.. friendly too. Highly recommend Alex..

Phenomenal instructors, very knowledgeable. 0 to hero, truly

Excellent experience and knowledge from the instructors passed DAS first time with their guidance
