The UK is getting back on two wheels. Motorcycle registrations rose 14.5% in June, and CBT training demand is at its highest since 2021-22 (Source: MCIA / DVSA).
We have launched a monthly commentary on what the numbers mean for London riders: costs, licence routes and training. Link in bio.
A great motorcycle instructor isn`t just an expert rider — they`re a skilled educator. 🏍️
It takes patience to meet every learner where they are. It takes clear communication to explain hazard awareness, clutch control, and road positioning in ways that actually stick. And it takes genuine care for the person on that bike — not just their test result, but their long-term safety on the road.
The best instructors don`t just repeat the same phrases session after session. They listen. They observe. They spot when a rider is nervous before the rider says a word, and they adapt — slowing down, simplifying, rebuilding confidence one manoeuvre at a time.
That`s the standard our DVSA-qualified instructors hold themselves to, every single session, across all 7 of our London training centres.
Because passing your CBT or Category A licence is just the beginning. Riding safely for life? That`s the real goal.

Thinking about booking your CBT but not sure what to expect?
A CBT day usually starts with an introduction, eyesight check and basic safety briefing. You’ll then move on to practical on-site training, learning the motorcycle controls, moving off, stopping, steering, observations and slow control.
Once your instructor is satisfied that you’re safe and ready, you’ll progress to road training and a minimum two-hour on-road ride. CBT is training, not a traditional pass-or-fail test – the aim is to make sure you can ride safely and confidently before being issued with your DL196 certificate.

Tyler came to Universal Motorcycle Training with no riding experience and one clear goal: get his CBT certificate and start riding legally in London.
In this testimonial, Tyler walks you through his entire journey — from that first nervous handshake with his DVSA-qualified instructor, to the moment he rode confidently on public roads and earned his CBT certificate.
He talks honestly about: - What he was worried about before Day 1 - How the on-site training built his confidence step by step - The moment everything "clicked" on the bike - Why the safety-first approach made him a better rider, not just a test-passer - What he`d say to anyone thinking about booking their CBT
If you`re sitting on the fence about motorcycle training, Tyler`s words will tell you everything you need to know.

Meet Guilherme — one of the dedicated instructors behind the Universal Motorcycle Training experience. 🏍️
Teaching someone to ride isn`t just about covering the syllabus. It takes patience when a student stalls for the fifth time, clarity when the theory feels overwhelming, and the kind of calm confidence that makes a nervous beginner feel like they actually belong on two wheels.
Guilherme brings all of that to every session.
Whether it`s guiding a first-timer through their CBT or helping a more experienced rider sharpen their hazard awareness, he meets every student exactly where they are — no judgement, no rush. His instruction style is clear, structured, and genuinely encouraging, breaking down complex riding techniques into steps that stick long after the training day is done.
And for students whose first language isn`t English? That barrier disappears. Guilherme`s multilingual ability means that safety information, feedback, and confidence land in the language you actually think in — and that makes all the difference on the road.
London traffic doesn`t forgive hesitation. Guilherme`s goal isn`t just to get you through a test — it`s to make sure you ride safely, smartly, and with real confidence every time you get on a bike.
Our DVSA-qualified instructors bring patience, expertise, and genuine passion to every session — and our students bring the determination. Together, that`s where confident, safe riders are made.
Whether you`re stepping onto a motorcycle for the very first time or working towards your full Category A licence, every rider at Universal Motorcycle Training® is supported every step of the way. Across our 7 London training centres, we don`t just teach you to pass a test — we build riders who are prepared for real roads, real traffic, and real conditions.
Your journey to two wheels starts here. 🎓

"Most people don`t realise there`s a clear, step-by-step path to get there." 🏍️
Whether you`ve never sat on a bike before or you`re ready to ditch the L-plates for good, every rider`s journey starts at the same place — and we`ll walk you through every stage of it.
Here`s how your UMT course journey works:
🔰 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿`𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗜𝗧𝗠) — Never touched a motorcycle? Start here. A relaxed, 1-to-1 introduction that builds your confidence on two wheels before anything else.
📋 𝗖𝗕𝗧 (𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴) — The essential first step required by law. One day of structured training, and you leave with your DL196 certificate, ready to ride a 125cc legally on UK roads.
🏁 𝗔𝟭 𝗟𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (age 17+) — Full licence for up to 125cc bikes. Perfect if you want to ride without L-plates and without time restrictions.
⚡ 𝗔𝟮 𝗟𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (age 19+) — Step up to restricted bikes up to 35kW. A great mid-point for riders who want more power with a clear upgrade path ahead.
🔓 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗔 / 𝗗𝗔𝗦 (age 24+, or 21+ with 2 years on A2) — No restrictions. Any bike. Any power. The final destination.
At Universal Motorcycle Training, our DVSA-qualified instructors will assess exactly where you are right now and build a training plan around *you* — not a one-size-fits-all course. We offer flexible scheduling, all equipment provided, and instruction available in 10+ languages across 7 London centres.

😤 "It`s too hot." 🧢 "I`m only going round the corner." 👀 "It messes up my hair." 🤷 "I know what I`m doing, I don`t need it."
We`ve heard them all — and every single one of them is a bad excuse.
Here`s the reality: a helmet alone reduces the risk of a fatal head injury by 40% and cuts the chance of serious head trauma by 70%. No hairstyle, no short trip, no level of riding experience changes what happens to an unprotected head at impact.
Your gear isn`t optional. It`s not an inconvenience. It`s the one decision you make before you even start the engine that has the biggest influence on whether you ride home or don`t.
At Universal Motorcycle Training®, we teach gear discipline from day one — not because it`s a rule on a checklist, but because it`s a habit that protects you for life. Every one of our DVSA-qualified instructors wears full PPE. Every single session.
Gear up. Every ride. No excuses.
