Fantastic experience with blacktop motorcycle training.I booked a direct access course with blacktop as a 50th birthday present to myself having very minimal experience with bikes beforehand.I struggled with clutch control on the first day doing my cbt. Steve pulled out all the stops and put me straight into an additional days training the following day with Craig who got me through my cbt, and straight on a 650.I started the DAS training then on the Monday morning, and they pretty unbelievably got me upto test standard by the Wednesday. Unfortunately I failed my mod 1 at the first attempt, not because I wasn’t capable just because my nerves got the better of me on the day.Steve actually appeared to take my fail quite personally and didn’t charge me for that day at all which left me with 2 days of my DAS course still.I got booked in for a retest had another days training previously and passed, then was put straight in for my mod 2 which Sarah booked rapidly as a cancellation the following week and Meg even came in, in the middle of her holiday to take me to test. Which I’m happy to say I passed this week, despite the 4 hours soaking we had in the British summer!I honestly can’t fault the guys at blacktop. Extremely patient, understanding, helpful, knowledgeable, and committed to getting you through your test but most importantly passionate about giving you the skills you need to become a safe and competent rider. Extremely professional company with a friendly ‘one big family’ feel about it.Looking forward to getting a few miles under my belt now I’ve passed, and I’ll pop and see you all soon for a brew.Thank you for your help, your patience with me, and for going the extra mile and working on your hard earned week off, to get me through, all your efforts and commitment are very much appreciated.

I'm a student, and I needed the CBT for my job. Unfortunately, due to an experience I had at this center, not only did I miss out on my CBT but I also lost £180 in the process. My session was scheduled for 8:30 AM, but due to unforeseen bad weather conditions and heavy traffic, I was delayed by just 6 minutes, arriving at 8:36 AM. I had called ahead to inform them of my slight delay and mentioned that I'd been on the road since 5:30 AM trying to make it on time. However, one staff member, a lady, was particularly unaccommodating and rude. She disregarded the genuine reasons for my slight delay and refused to offer any flexibility or understanding. It's truly disheartening to encounter such a lack of compassion and understanding, especially during tough times. I cannot recommend a center that lacks basic human empathy and understanding.

Not what I expected…I initially booked my CBT for August 22, 2023. Blacktop texted me at 7 pm the day before to cancel due to "instructor availability." The fact that Blacktop couldn't find another instructor to fill in was concerning. On Blacktop's website, their cancellation policy states they require a minimum of 48 hours' notice before training, to get a refund. They did offer a refund, but I just booked another day with them.So, I had my CBT on September 12, 2023, at the Rowley Regis site in the car park of Goals. As someone who has never ridden a motorcycle before, I did enjoy the training until I was told that I needed more training after struggling with U-turns on the car park. I could do it, but sometimes I forgot the shoulder check or the motorcycle juddered or stalled.One issue was the car park's slight incline, not an issue in normal riding. But for a beginner, controlling the throttle on an incline made the manoeuvres challenging. Coming downhill, stalling was less of a concern, but going uphill required extra attention, leading to stalls. After about 30 minutes of trying, the instructor (Meg) suggested I return for more training at an additional £160 cost.So, I paid £160 for half a day of training, and they recommended a full day's training because of U-turn difficulties. For a "Compulsory Basic Training," i felt cheated.Blacktop didn't acknowledge that they offered only half a day's training for the cost of a full day (£160) or refund part of it. I expected them to offer reduced-cost additional training since I could perform other manoeuvres well. On Blacktop's website, they claim "Learn at your own pace," but it comes at a price. You don't have all day; in fact, you have half a day. You must learn quickly, or it could cost you another £160.The Gov.uk syllabus states that learners should develop enough basic skills to ride safely before hitting the road. I mastered many skills except U-turns, which I believe would have improved with more time.I felt ready for road training, but I won't risk another £160 with Blacktop for another half-day. If you consider them for your CBT, know they can cut training short if they deem you unready. I would argue that I demonstrated road-ready skills and have a Full UK driving license since 2005.Training aims for proficient manoeuvres, but learning occurs through practice. Stopping me after half a day hindered that. I wished to continue U-turn practice until day's end, considering I paid for it, then book half a day for road training. But perhaps that's too considerate. I hope this review helps someone, good luck, ride safe.

Alison and I took our CBT on scooters, with Megan, for insurance purposes abroad. We were taken through the test with an informal but positive and professional approach which was very reassuring, and all aspects of basic riding were covered. Out on the road Megan is calm, informative and helpful, giving us the confidence to complete the course.All the equipment and bikes are excellent and there are toilet and snack facilities at the Goals site.It was such a good experience it inspired us to consider a motorbike career in the future.They even chucked in a McDonalds for lunch!Look no further than these guys.Thanks Megan, Andy and the guy who rode through Spain.Matt and Al

Booked in to renew my CBT with Blacktop today and had a great day with Meg who, along with everyone else at Blacktop made us feel very welcome. The day was tailored to the students experience of riding so we all completed the compulsory parts of the CBT and those of us with CBT's to renew went for the ride out whilst the newbies were given time to build their confidence off road. It's my second time with Blacktop for a CBT and both times they have shown great passion for what they do and a real commitment to make sure we have the skills required to stay safe on the road.

Honestly look no further than these guys they're the ultimate choice! Just save yourself the hassle with other driving schools. Their professionalism, wealth of information, and patience truly set them apart. From being a complete novice, I was riding a geared 125 within a day. Even when I made mistakes, their guidance was invaluable, quickly boosting my confidence. They go the extra mile by providing breakfast too! Without a doubt, these guys deserve a perfect 10/10 – they're the real deal. Your search Should end here.

I completed my CBT with them recently and the environment was immediately warm and welcoming, it started with friendly introductions and the instructor never was cold or mean spirited to me even when I made a few mistakes. She helped me get a hold on the controls and led to me feeling extremely confident on the road which I was quite worried about originally. If I were to recommend a place to get a CBT as a 16 year old (even if the drive is relatively long like mine was) I would mention here without a second doubt. 5 stars even seems low for this place.

Booked my first CBT for a week ago on Tuesday, from knowing nothing about Motorcycles to manoeuvring around a car park wasn't just fun, it was inspiring. All thanks to the CBT instructor Megan, although I'd gone home on the Tuesday she really helped in making me understand the hazards in live traffic. I booked my CBT again for the Thursday in the following week eager to prove to myself that I could pass, and again all thanks to Megan that dream soon became a lot more real. Blacktop instructors are genuinely some of the most caring and considerate people you'll find to help you along the journey, they treat you with so much respect you feel like you've known them for years.

Completed CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2, with Blacktop. Absolutely great experience, could not wish for better tutors. Steve and Craig are great at putting you at your ease. Sara is great on the phone sorting out any questions. Highly recommend this company if you are thinking of taking up motorcycling. Thanks you again for helping me pass my test.

One word - perfect!I cannot fault the service provided by all of the staff at Blacktop. Sarah was friendly and helpful with all of my booking details. I had 4 days booked for DAS course this week.On arrival I was greeted by Meg who offered to order me a drink straight away as I was early and waiting for Steve to arrive. Steve took us out on the first and third day whilst Craig took us out on the other 2. Both of them were extremely good at communicating what was needed to pass both tests. They guided me where necessary and also there was lots of praise when my riding was to a good standard. Lunch and drinks were provided on all days which is an extremely nice touchAfter the first day Steve offered me a refund of a full day's fee as he thought my riding ability did not require the 4th day of training. This was done immediately and in my bank before the end of the first day.All of the staff clearly enjoy what they do and strive for all students to do as well as they possibly can whilst making the training fun and interesting.I am pleased to say I passed both tests with no minors which is a credit to Steve and Craig for the training they provided to myself.Please ignore the negative reviews as they are definitely not a true reflection of Blacktop. I would recommend them to everyone looking for motorcycle training.Thanks again and see you soon

I had a brilliant experience doing my CBT with Blacktop Motorcycle Training school. I had a female instructor which was a real bonus for me. She was extremely personable and patiently built up my skill set throughout the day in order to get me out on the road safely in the afternoon. Herself and her husband were very encouraging throughout the whole process which definitely boosted my confidence on the bike.Can’t recommend them enough!

Brilliant week doing my MOD 1 & MOD 2 training and test, the instructors were all really helpful and encouraging with clear, concise instructions on the road which led to an easy understanding of road safety and efficient riding. Steve, Meg and Craig all work so well together and this makes it a great environment to be in. At late notice I had a circumstance change which meant I had to juggle the weeks lessons around and this was easily facilitated but the instructors meaning that I didn’t miss any time on the road and I got everything I paid for,Overall great friendly, funny people and a first time pass with no minors on both tests highlights the competency and commitment of the team, highly recommend, Cheers Guys

Enjoyed it.Had my training with Stephen Nikola.Mod1, I passed at the first attempt.Mod2, I failed at the first attempt for a silly mistake (my fault). No wasting time, Stephen's team provided me another test date, 14 days later, and them I passed it. No faults at all, clean sheet.Stephen has given many tips for Mod2 and he is always lovely.All bikes are clean, serviced, working properly, really decent! They also provided jacket and helmet which is great.If you get struggle with English language, don't worry, Stephen speaks very clear and in case of you're not prepared either for ridding or understanding instructions via radio, he will tell you before you spend some money.What a professionalism!!!Well, highly recommended 👌

Had a brilliant day with Craig today preparing for Mod 1 & 2. The other learner didn’t turn turn up so had a full days one to one tuition! Took me through the different parts of Mod 1 until we were both confident I’d reached the standard required to pass then had a few hours on road training.Passed Mods 1&2 yesterday and today. Instruction provided by Steve who couldn’t have done any more to get us through the course and pass the tests.Brilliant instructors - knowledgable, patient and friendly.Can’t recommend Blacktop highly enough 👍

Absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Having never been on a scooter before, I was immediately put at ease. The teaching was not rushed, each stage was explained comprehensively and we were given enough practice to ensure we were ready for the next stage before moving on. I cannot fault these guys - I will definitely use them when I come to doing a gear conversion and maybe a full cycle test. Top drawer. Give them a go - you won’t be disappointed!! 💯👌🏻

Well what an amazing day. I turned up to do my CBT a right nervous wreck and was made to feel comfortable from the get go. Steve and Meg are the most patient,knowledgeable,funny and understanding trainers you could ever wish to meet. Nothing was to much trouble for either of them. Each part of the training was not only discussed in great detail but also demonstrated and relaxed. I was reassured throughout the whole day. I would highly recommend using Blacktop and will be returning to complete the next stage on motorbike journey. Thank you both for a great experience.

I’m a really nervous driver I lost all my confidence on the road. I went with black top after a friend suggested it because online reviews are slightly dicey aren’t they? Any how, black top was amazing. The instructor, Meg was entirely lovely and chilled. There was no stress and she was remarkably patient. It was a good giggle too. It was nice to be able to have a joke while also receiving a fully professional experience. By the time I got on the road it felt almost as natural as breathing. I don’t have a full licence, but it was a nice easy route with everything you need for day to day driving there was no backseat driving or any shouting (had this before with another driving school). There was no tension at all. She fully explained road safety with out telling us we were going to crash and die a firey death every 2 minutes ( I have had this done to me before with another school even after I told them this was one of my biggest fears I was so stressed that I did not pass). With black top it was just an all round lovely experience. 10/10 would recommend.

Had my CBT with these guys on Sunday just gone but didn't get a chance to leave a review as i was too busy... enjoying my first week on bike (in my Rain Straight Through jacket). I would definitely recommend my instructor was incredible. Very patient with clear instructions and useful tips to help with any struggles you might have. If you wish to get on a motorbike yourself book your test with them and I'm sure you'll be out on the road in no time. Overall great experience 👌🏽

I did my CBT with these guys back in November, which was brilliant. I went on to do my mod 1 and 2 this week and thanks to Steve and his expert, no nonsense tuition, I passed both first time. If you want to do it and learn to ride, this is the place to go. I would 100% reccomend! Friendly, easy to have a laugh with and helps correct you when you go wrong, and all for a great price! Don't look anywhere else, get booking!😉

Thanks again to the two lovely ladies you both are brilliant instructors and make up out of the training yet make sure we are all safe and ready to ride

After watching the new Batman Movie over the weekend I was inspired to get on a bike. I instantly booked in for my CBT for the following week.The nerves were there but the instructors were ace. Meg took my on a solo ride and I was able to achieve my CBT pass.Although the day was extremely cold it was enjoyable and fun. The two mentors were up for a bit of light hearted banter which helped keep the nerves at bay.The premises is located near a sports complex so tea and coffee is available throughout the day.Highly recommend this place for a CBT. Will gain some experience and return for the full license.

I have completed my CBT with Blacktop Training. After 20 years since I last rode a motorcycle, I knew I would be a bit out of practice getting back into the saddle, but the instructions given were excellent, and the friendly banter from the entire team soon put me at ease. Just one day and you learn so much, I fully enjoyed every moment of the day and i recommend Blacktop Training, they are awesome, hopefully i will be coming back to take my full motorcycle licence....

Very good instructor and very patient with you. They also have different types of bikes you can use. They made sure we had enough breaks and that we were ready to go to the next step. I'd definitely recommend.

Re-took my CBT a month or so ago with them, so glad I found them - now taking my Mod1 and Mod2. Even in the current weather, Steve Nicola and his team make this such an enjoyable and fun experience.

Just completed my CBT with the team at blacktop . After 40yrs since I last rode a motorcycle I knew I would be a bit rusty , but the input I received, and the friendly encouragement from the entire team soon put me at ease.I will take away with me a lot of knowledge and expertise that will put me in good stead for the rest of my riding days. I genuinely enjoyed every single moment of the course and cannot recommend blacktop high enough. Brilliant day.

Completed my CBT with Blacktop the other week and Steve L. Couldn't recommend them highly enough and have sent their details to several friends thinking of getting theirs. Patient, knowledgeable and with a great amount of humour, I couldn't have been better set up for my further journey into motorcycles and look forward to booking my DAS with in due course. Thanks guys!

Took my cbt, mod1 and mod2 with Steve and blacktop, great communication great team all round, made me feel at ease as I was really nervous highly recommendable, an all round very professional team, from the admin all the way through to the trainers. What a great experience I had, loads of jokes and then when it was time to learn the professionalism kicked in and I passed everything. Thank you guys.

I did my CBT here at the end of June. There were 3 of us booked in on the day; 2 young lads doing moped and me (55!) with geared bike. Irrespective of that, Steve coached us all equally on the morning session. We were then offered lunch (I'd had brekkie so was OK) and a cuppa before we headed out on the road for the afternoon. Mike took me out and guided me around. I had a bit of a tizz doing my U turn's out in the real world but Mike was really patient and full of encouragement until I managed to get past it and before we spent another hour riding around (it honestly felt like 5 minutes!). I'm really pleased to say managed to pass and will definitely return to this school to do my full training. I thoroughly enjoyed the down to earth, real world style of instruction.

Did my CBT today with Steve. Loved the banter and sense of humour but really appreciated the small pieces of advice. It has been 37 years since I got on a bike and was genuinely worried that at 55, it was beyond me. Steve’s pointers and intercom positivity was great during the ride. Started the ride at 30, then got to 40 and ended up doing 60, all felt very safe and very natural.Loved every minute, can’t wait to move onto the next stages to get my full licence.Wish I’d done it years ago.Genuine thank you.

This was my third CBT but the first time I've taken it at Black Top MCT. I really enjoyed it from start to finish. Both Steve's were fantastic, supportive and passed on so many helpful tips and advice. Great sense of humour and a very fun day riding in the sunshine. They have given me the confidence to finally work towards my mod 1 and 2 and I I'm sure with their help I'll be ripping up the L plates in no time. Thanks guys.

Steve was friendly and calming, providing concise and ordered instruction. His knowledge and experience of riding and training clearly shone through in his efforts to create safe and sound new riders.I would not hesitate to recommend him for CBT training and I plan to head back asap in order to train for a full licence.
