Great CBT Experience
Completed my CBT at the Crystal Palace training center yesterday. Marc was an extremely positive and encouraging instructor who provided wonderful guidance and clear instructions (and plenty of dad jokes!). I could not have asked for a better experience and will definitely come back for future training. Many thanks to Marc!

After a few years of non riding
After a few years of non riding. I was a little apprehensive in getting back on a bike again to repeat CBT.
But I didn’t need to worry. I had completed my CBT previously twice over the years at another centre, but this place was different. Really supportive training and guidance.
Even have the bug to get a bike again. And progress to my DAS over next six months.
Thank you.

Great experience for beginners or those renewing CBT
From start to finish, this was a great experience, from the staff to the course and contents
Our first instructor gave us a lot more knowledge than I believe I’ve had before, which was very helpful
The practical skills testing was extremely thorough and helped all the students gain confidence and both instructors did it with patience and understanding for the different levels of experience
On the street drive our instructor was patient, gave good clear instructions and helpful suggestions to extend the knowledge we had
I would highly recommend this company for CBT, as well as switching from auto to manual(few on the course )
and I look forward to using my 2 hour 121 driving with an instructor

Darren
Darren, one of the instructors, was so amazing,accommodating and really helpful with my son who has additional needs. He took the time to explain and breakdown instructions to him and gave him the opportunity to ask questions when he was unsure. I can't thank him enough.
The staff on the phone, again, were so helpful and relaid any concerns I had to the instructor.
On a whole I cannot fault Phoenix Motorcycle Training at all.

Had a great experience with Phoenix Motorcycle Training. Steve was patient, professional and gave clear, helpful instructions throughout the day. I had around a year’s riding experience abroad several years ago, so I was quite rusty getting back on a bike, but Steve really helped build my confidence.
Despite struggling with the U-turn, I passed my CBT and came away feeling much more confident. I’d definitely recommend Phoenix to anyone looking to get into motorcycling

Thank you to the Phoenix team for helping me get my full license first time! Pleasure working with you all Wynn, Sam, Marc and Phil, despite giving them a few jump scares haha. Since working with Phoenix my road discipline has improved dramatically and I can’t thank the instructors enough guiding me every step of the way through my Mod 1 and Mod 2. I highly recommend taking the courses as they don’t spare no expense on your learning and trust me they will make sure you’re headed in the right direction. Once more thank you to the team and can’t wait to go on adventures on a bigger bike!

Do not respond to website enquiries
Ive contacted Phoenix through the website twice now and they haven't gotten back to me even though the website promises a response in 8 hours. Not going to use their service now. What is the point of online enquiries if they dont respond. Ill find a better company.

Worst CBT ever !!! never Again
I went here on Saturday 8th 2026
My instructor was MARC
I have done 5 successful CBT's before this and none of them came anywhere near as bad as this one (Horrific)
The instructor attempted to have me removed from the CBT for asking him to demonstrate maneuver saying "your being hard to deal with and cheeky"
He also decided to lambast an italian national who was on the course as he could not understand the way the italian chap was describing things and taking his instructions due to the language barrier and the almost laughable audio equipment provided #1970's equipment
Another RED flag was when preparing for the road assessment i explained that the audio from the headphone provided was very loud and treble high so i asked MARC if i could adjust the volume to which he very rudely responded "No don't touch it its set how it is and if you do and get he instructions wrong on the ride i'll fail you"
At the end of the cbt i then asked MARC when or where can i check if my CBT has been posted to the relevant database or DSA just so i can check as i had been pulled over by the police before and it stated my CBT was not appearing on the police database
MARCS response was for every iteration i made of that question a blanket "No You Can't" no context no other alternative opton or advice on what to do or check just a flat out NO you cant.
How this guys still got this job i have no idea but i would not reccomend this company or the Crystal Palace site as it was poorly looked after and smelled unhealthy to sit and breathe in them rooms and the instructor just topped it off with his bad personality and horrid customer service skills.
You should never leave a place of learning livid angry or feeling insulted and made to feel unintelligent and March gets a gold star for bringing up these feelings.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience on the day.
At Phoenix Motorcycle Training, our primary responsibility is the safety and wellbeing of all trainees. As part of this, our instructors are required to ensure that appropriate riding equipment is worn and that all riders follow the training methods and procedures set out within the CBT syllabus. While we appreciate that you have completed CBT training previously, our instructors must deliver the course in accordance with current standards and safety requirements.
Having reviewed the events of the day with the instructor and office team, it is clear that there were several occasions where there was disagreement regarding training techniques and instructions, presumably based on your previous experiences with other providers that maybe do not follow the latest high standards expected by the DVSA. Our instructor's recollection is that he took additional time to explain the reasoning behind specific riding exercises and safety procedures, and ultimately demonstrated the manoeuvre you requested. He also raised concerns with the office early in the day due to what he perceived as ongoing resistance to instruction and a confrontational attitude.
We would like to clarify that any adjustments made during the road ride, including rider positioning and communication equipment settings, are done with safety as the overriding consideration. Similarly, where additional support is provided to a trainee whose first language is not English, this is solely to ensure clear communication and the safety of everyone participating in the course.
Regarding your question about CBT records, CBT certificates are recorded digitally by the training school and there is currently no public database available for riders to independently verify their certificate status. However, our office team is always happy to assist with any queries regarding certification and records.
We regret that you felt uncomfortable, frustrated, or disrespected during your training. While we do not agree with several aspects of your account, we accept that your experience did not meet your expectations, which were possibly set by previous training standards. We expect professionalism and respect from both our instructors and our customers, and constructive communication is essential to creating a safe and productive learning environment.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue to review our processes, facilities, and customer experience to ensure we maintain the high standards expected of Phoenix Motorcycle Training.
