Customer feedback

Outstanding training. The support provided throughout the course is excellent, materials are comprehensive and thorough… Jon, Henrietta and Mark put together a great team for delivering the training. I’ve come away having made some really good connections within the trade and look forward to continuing the relationship.

Matthew Cleathero

Excellent bike mechanic training, catering for both novices and those with a little more experience. Great facilities and hands on use of the full range of cycle workshop tools. Gives trainees the confidence to move up and tackle more difficult repairs… A friendly and helpful team who are ready and willing to pass on their extensive knowledge of bikes and cycling. Highly recommended

Overall, excellent service! Friendly, efficient, and most importantly, knowledgeable. They are also very honest! I often get told off for not cleaning my bike frequently enough! 😉
