I feels extremely happy to say that, my trainer Mr. Ashad is very good to teach all the rules and regulations in my CBT license test, as he is very calm while teaching and gives depth knowledge. Apart from this he is multi lingual and also knows my regional language (Hindi), which benefits me a lot in terms of learning. I appreciate his efforts and training
Thank you

Did my CBT course with Paul as my instructor in Alperton.
Really enjoyed the day. Paul is very patient and humorous. Took time to answer all our questions and demonstrate exercises himself if we didn’t fully understand something. Would recommend doing your CBT with him.

Nice branch of Universal Moto training school. It has a shop and a small cafe with very tasty food.
Sean - instructor is super experienced, runs training really smoothly. He is always friendly and helps trainees to correct mistakes on the road. I've had no riding experience before, but passed my mod2 with Sean. I could not have been happier.

I recently completed my CBT at Universal Motorcycle Training and was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. The facilities are top-notch, featuring a comfortable classroom with air conditioning, spotless toilets, and refreshments available throughout the day. They provide all the necessary safety equipment, including brand new gloves, jackets, and vests. The motorcycles and helmets are also brand new, ensuring a safe and enjoyable riding experience.
Having done CBT courses elsewhere, I can confidently say that Universal Motorcycle Training stands out from the rest. The quality of their equipment and facilities is unmatched.
A special mention goes to Jon, the instructor. His professionalism and helpfulness made the training session both informative and enjoyable. Jon's focus on safety is impeccable, and his passion for his job is evident in his thorough knowledge of road traffic regulations and motorbikes. He even took the time to recommend the best safety equipment for us to purchase.
Overall, Universal Motorcycle Training offers an outstanding CBT course with exceptional facilities and a fantastic instructor. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to get their motorcycle training.

Angelo -
Where do I start. Angelo had so much patience with me and my driving buddy Rahil. We were both experienced drivers but had lost confidence riding especially when it came to the road ride part of the CBT. I’d like to personally thank Angelo for his expertise in guiding us for the day. I know it took us many times to understand what to do and do it properly but with the right coaching we got it. It was so fun getting back on the motorcycle and learning the basics, I can’t wait for what the future will entail and I will always remember having the best instructor. If you plan on doing a CBT or get any of your motorcycle licenses please check out universal
Motorcycles as they are the best in London, from attending other motorcycle schools such as north London motorcycles I would by far say universal excels them in every manner, they greet you and most importantly are patient and that’s what every learner needs.
Thank you again Angelo,
Giuseppe

Was such a fun day!! Been wanting my bike licence for so long and the team made it a breeze. When you think about licences you think oh so serious and scary but my instructor made it so fun. The day went by so fast and even with it raining briefly at one point no one cared because we we’re all having fun. I dont recall the name of my instructor but he was from Portugal and ever so kind.

I had a fabulous day with an incredibly knowledgeable and humorous instructor called ASAD SHAIKH who put us all at ease. He instilled confidence through his clear communication as well as in Urdu also which is my mother language ..I understand every instructions about riding easily because of language, making instructions easy to follow. Loads of fun, would thoroughly recommend. Having done my CBT repeatedly, this day finally convinced me to plan for furthe r training with a view to getting my licence in full in the next year or so. ALSO. Super friendly and warm on the phone, making my training centre of choice of my choice…I really recommend to do CBT from Universal Bike training as well.

Did both the ITM and CBT courses here. Top-notch teaching. Attention to details, excellent coaching and feedback. Other riders who came in for a CBT renewal told me that the trainers here gave us all sorts of tips and advice and taught us good habits that go beyond and above the minimum curriculum of the CBT course they did elsewhere. Will definitely be returning for the full A license

A well deserved 5 stars! My sincere thanks to Jorge who not only is a good instructor, politely correcting all the mistakes on the spot, but is very personable and made me feel throughout a day like it's a meeting with old friend. I knew I can do it, but Jorge made the day almost exciting from learning new skills. A firm hand shake with a smile completed a great day! Will do A2 in 2023!

Had never riden a motorcycle before, did the Introduction To Motorcycling course earlier in the year and then followed up with a couple hours or private lessons and CBT at the end of August. Brilliant instructors throughout each stage of my training. Would definitely return for further qualifications and recommend UMT Wimbledon for anyone considering getting into motorcycling.

This was the second school I went to, after not passing my CBT elsewhere. They are a million miles apart. Ace was patient and an awesome instructor. So much so i then went to another site with him in Edgware to do my gear conversation.
The site is clean, new, bikes are well looked after, and most of all the markings and directions are clear. Its a whole higher standard then you get at other places.
If in doubt, book this team!
