Phoenix Motorcycle Training - Foots Cray Reviews 

Great staff and knowledge! Done my CBT with them twice now with different instructors and will do again when it runs out

Mark and the guys were excellent teachers. Really learnt a lot and enjoyed the day. Will be going back for my license shortly

Great place to do your cbt. Mark is a very good instructor and a funny guy. I had a great experience with my cbt.

I had an excellent day trial riding with a friend under the guidance of instructors Steve and Sean. From start to finish, it was a genuinely enjoyable and confidence-building experience.

We are both very experienced riders, but it had been 30-plus years since we last rode off-road, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. The day struck the perfect balance between being supportive and challenging. The riding covered a fantastic mix of terrain, with the majority being off-road: country trail ruts, muddy sections, pebbly tracks, and tricky clay areas, with some on-road riding linking it all together. The variety really helped rebuild confidence and sharpen balance, control, and technique.

Steve and Sean were outstanding instructors—calm, knowledgeable, and very encouraging. They quickly gauged our experience and adjusted the guidance to suit, explaining techniques clearly and offering practical feedback that made an immediate difference.

Overall, it was a superbly run day that was both great fun and genuinely educational. I came away with improved skills, renewed off-road confidence, and a real appreciation for how well the session was tailored to riders returning after a long break. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, whether new to trial riding or getting back into off-road riding after years away.

Amazing experience with Phoenix Motorcycle Training in Foots Cray. The instructors were super helpful, patient, and really knowledgeable. I’d 100% recommend taking lessons here before doing your CBT if you don’t have any riding experience, it made a huge difference to my confidence and skills on the bike. Shout out to all the instructors there

Content was vast and instructors Knowledgeable. It was a great idea to have 2 instructors one for the theory and another for practical. It would be even better to have a couple of them working together on the practical skills. It would allow further understanding of the needs of learners. It would be excellent for Phoenix and learners to offer a 2 day course as an option for absolute beginners and a one day course for more experienced ones who might have done a CBT previously or have a car driver license. It would facilitate delivery for instructors and make it much more effective for learners. I would reduce the stress and frustration for all. There was an incident during the training which made the training longer than expected this can be avoided with much more kindness and understanding of instructors and time to practice or a two stage course.

Had a great experience with harry yesterday. Was a fun day out would recommend to any of my friends that want to get into riding. 👍

The training was well explained before and during the day of the CBT. Harry was very knowledgeable, well experienced, and very professional. I would strongly recommend Harry and Phoenix based on my experience.

Passed DAS here.

Was extremely supportive and patient. Can’t thank them enough xx

Sam was an excellent Instructor!

Great school to do your full license. I’ve done my whole motorbike journey with them and passed my A first time thanks to the help of Mark and the Foots Cray team. Crystal Palace is also great. Would recommend for anyone considering 👍

I had a really good time training for full A. All the instructors were really nice and professional, the bikes were great. I found the whole experience very pleasant and of course, am most happy for finally getting my full A license.
Many thanks to the entire Sidcup team!

Had a great day doing my CBT even in the depths of winter. Great teaching, comfortable gear and good bikes to practice on. Looking forward to doing my A1&2 with Phoenix and then some trails too.

Good group of gents, very informative and will helpful.

Although you are attending a course it will fell relaxed and enjoyable with the aim to get you through your course.

Thanks Sean and the rest of the lads

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! One of the biggest reasons I managed to pass my CBT was thanks to the instructor, Nick. He guided us through everything, even pointing out little mistakes and showing us exactly how to improve. I couldn’t have asked for better support, and I’m really looking forward to going back for more training.

Really friendly trainers, proper off road training pad not just a car park. Trainers were patient but but clear and very perceptive of your ride giving tailored feedback.

Harry took me for my mod1&2 and had the perfect aptitude for calming any jitters and preparing you for what’s to come

Honestly Phoenix is one of the best schools in the UK, I done my training in Foots Cray, Mod 1 in Erith, Mod 2 in Tunsbridge, and I couldn't be happier. The training is of a high standard, feedback is critical but extremely supportive. The instructors give you plenty of time to understand and improve your riding where it matters most as well as plenty of opportunity to get comfortable on the bike, even in the fast track. Massive thanks to Mark, Sam and Harry from Foots Cray, great experience.

Experienced instructor, nice facilities

Very friendly instructors that helped me pass Mods 1 and 2 first time. Bikes are well maintained and nice to ride.
