  I Can't recommend this course highly enough. The training, help and advice and encouragement is 1st class. The knowledge you learn to get you at the level to pass your test and beyond to make your riding safe is at a level beyond other riding school. No mater what level you are at - This training is a must. Great friendly team, fantastic facilities and a relaxed but progressive week, you just have to listen, understand/ask questions, learn from the experts and put the effort in. A+++

  My sister and I did the 5 day direct access course with Sean, which was absolutely fantastic. The course was really thorough and focused on teaching proper bike skills (e.g. counter steering, emergency stops on bends) not just how to pass the test. Sean was really experienced, knowledgeable and his teaching style made us feel comfortable, confident and safe on the bike at all times. The course was so enjoyable and we really enjoyed riding round with Sean for the week. I unfortunately dabbed my foot on the u-turn so had to come back to re-sit (my sister passed first time - it was a rollercoaster of emotions). Sean was fantastic and went above and beyond to fit me back in as soon as he could, and two weeks later I also had my full license. We would 100% recommend CBT - thank you Sean for a brilliant experience! Kate and Sophie

  Passed my DAC first time with these guys! Absolutely exceptional training worth every penny! Sean and the team are not just teaching you to pass the test but also how to save your life if the need arises…I endeavour to keep looking out for the gorilla 🦍 😆 thanks CBT.

  I booked the 5 day course with Circuit Based Training, and I couldn’t’ have made a better decision.(I had already completed my CBT elsewhere and my theory test) Sean has a wealth of knowledge which he imparted clearly. There were only either one or two other people with me throughout the week, and for three out of the five days when there was three of us, we also had an additional instructor, called Carl who was a lovely chap with a very calming manner. Sean always made sure that we fully understood everything that we needed to know before attempting any of the exercises that we did on the track. We had plenty of practical time on the bikes along with a couple of classroom sessions. The pillion rides that they offer are fantastic and really help to gain the understanding and feel of the bike, especially when it comes to cornering and counter steering I was very nervous about the MOD1, which for me was on Day 4 but I didn’t need to be. The training along with the tips that Sean provided meant I passed just fine. After some more time on the road I did the MOD2 on day 5, which I passed also. Of course I’m delighted to have passed and have my full license but the most important thing is that after completing this course I was taught over and above what was required to pass the tests. I’ve learnt how to be a competent and safe rider, which is by far the most important thing going forward!! I could say lots more but this review is long enough! Thank you to Sean and Carl and continued safe riding to you both!

  I can Highly recommend Circuit Based Training. I booked 'knee down mallory' August 2022 I was made extremely welcome by Sean, Carl and the team, all offering calm expert instruction and guidance in a friendly manner throughout the course. The facilities are superb, mallory park is a legendary racing circuit, and a superb venue to improve your skills and learn to explore your motorcycles capabilities. I had a fantastic time, learnt so much more in a far shorter time than it would have taken by myself. If your wanting to get the most out of motorcycling, get yourself booked on and enjoy a massive confidence boost!! Both knee sliders ground down, new ones on order, Still smiling !! I will certainly be back in the future, all the best to Sean and his team!! Thank you once again!

  Did the 5 day direct access. Excellent course, Sean and Cassie are both great instructors, really knowledgeable and helped gradually build us over there week. Balance is good too, with first day on the track and later on the road, so helps build confidence and getting used to the bike. Only advice would be to get your theory test done before you start, I needed to do mid week which lost me some time on the road.

  Circuit Based Training Mallory Park are simply unique! Sean and his team are imparting information and giving advice from the moment you arrive ( in fact Sean was giving me the theory of counter steer before I’d even set foot in the building ) Seldom do you come across people who are so committed to teaching. You are taught on a race track which allows you to get up to speed and build your confidence. The team are phenomenal - for example Guy, an ex police outrider is very relaxed which makes it easy to absorb his wealth of experience. And then Cassie is really encouraging and fantastic teacher, not to mention great fun. I won’t miss the pressure of taking my test but I shall miss going there!

  I booked the DAS training for my girlfriend. It was meant to consist of two days on track as per the description on their website. However they only had one day on track which made it difficult to justify why the cost of training here is more than twice what other schools charge. During this track day a lot of time was spent doing emergency stops, figures of eight and other slow speed manoeuvres which can frankly be done anywhere without paying a premium for a racing track. In addition during this one day the track was split to allow a knee-down class. This meant when the group was finally allowed to go around the race track they could only do half of it, then do a U-turn and turn around, interrupting the flow. Although we were under no time pressure there was a strong push towards booking Mod1 & 2 on the same day. We didn’t even realise that it was possible to book them on separate days. But we soon figured out why. No other motorbike schools charges an admin fee for booking their students in for their tests. But here you pay double and lose this fee if you don’t pass your first test while they remain able to rebook another student into that slot (not that this would get you a refund). They are also the only school which makes the students pay for petrol. No other school does that. The school prides itself on providing a better learning experience and promises to teach proper cornering techniques like counter steering which they say other schools don’t teach. But this isn’t true! Everybody teaches that, but not on a race track. The race track is great but the bikes are in pretty poor condition and look pretty battered and whilst most other schools have great big area to practice slow manoeuvres they only use their parking space with pretty uneven ground. My girlfriend failed her test first thing in the morning and was just sat in a cafe afterwards and then rode back which wasn’t exactly a 5th day of training. She should have still been allowed to practice for the retake. Not really fair! If you are mainly wanting to do your course here because you are excited about the racing track, then think again! You might be better off doing your DAS for a normal price with a local school and returning here for an actual cornering course once you have your license. I was about to book it before I heard that it’s in a group of 16. It’s okay to charge a premium if you have something people are happy to pay for but making money on people having to rebook their tests and being too stingy to cover their petrol seems greedy. We couldn’t afford to continue and went with another school that wasn’t making money on admin fees. Overall it wasn’t worth spending the money for the training experience! The instructors were nice but we wish we hadn’t spent money here.

  Lovely environment to learn how to control your motorbike properly. I manage knee down in one session only. Lots of fun...
