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!

Great instructors

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!

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.

Did my cbt with Graham today,fantastic instructor, very informative and patient. After 32 years since riding on the roads he gave me plenty confidence throughout the day. Met Jay and Wayne too great bunch of guys. When I decide to go for a bigger bike I'll definitely be training with Riverview.

Complete newbie

From never getting on a bike in over 45 years I rang Riverview and spoke to Wayne and he assured me I could do it.... I trained with Jay on my CBT and passed. Trained with Wayne and Andy for MOD1 passed first time. And now just got back from Holiday and passed my MOD2 all in a few weeks due to my availability. Can't recommend these guys enough. Patience, expertise, and attention to detail was spot on from day one. If your looking to get into motorbikes stop looking and call Wayne. THANK YOU GUYS

Great riding school with boss instructors

I passed my A2 today and within 2 weeks. It would’ve been sooner if I hadn’t failed my first mod 1!! Really friendly instructors and Wayne is really kind and patient and a guy who loves a laugh and a joke. Had all the time in the world for me when I lost my liscence just before my Mod 1 test. Would recommend to anyone wanting any bike training. Big thank you to Wayne and Andy!

My experience with Riverview was amazing

My experience with Riverview was amazing They got me started with my lessons straight away. Wayne was amazing to have as an instructor he’s calm which I think are very important traits to have as an instructor. He would get the information across to me in a very simple and clear way. The lessons themselves were very entertaining because Wayne is very easy to talk to and get along with. As enjoyable as the lessons are, Wayne still makes sure we cover a lot in the lesson. I really recommend Riverview for anyone who wants to learn how to ride the motorbike in a quick productive and enjoyable manner.

Great training and customer service.

I was originally with another riding school, who's customer service was none existent. I moved to Riverview for the final steps of gaining license and both their training and customer service were head and shoulders above what was previously provided elsewhere.

Thanks for all your support and training Wayne and Andy.

Rude and aggressive

Extremely rude on the phone. My son tried to cancel his slot as his train was cancelled. As he called late at night to give as much notice as possible. Was met with a torrent of abuse from the owner. Who said he woke up his kids. I would suggest a separate number perhaps when running a business.
I myself have tried to call and explain and was met with the same rude aggressive attitude, and then he hung up on me.
I would definitely stay clear my son is now £200 out of pocket and more to the point there is no need for that level of rudeness.
