I did my CBT with you on the 15th Nov 2008, just to let you know that I passed my A2 today (Weds 26th Nov) with no faults.
Thank you for your help and all those useful tips you gave me. I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who wants to learn to ride safely and have fun doing it (even if you do have a habit of singing Tom Jones)! |

I had not ridden a motorbike for nearly 20yrs so i was a bit unsure at first if i should try to learn to ride them again or stick to a car. I contacted Allan via his website as he was local to me and seemed to have a lots of good comments. They got me down to their Lewes site to do my CBT and after a chat about biking it was on the bikes and going round the yard. Allan understands that you are nervous and gives you all the help and encouragement you need. After i did the CBT i was so happy with Allan's relaxed attitude that i booked in for my DAS. Allan and i went out for 3 days and i he made me feel ready and confident to do my test. On the 4th day i took my test and by doing as Allan had taught me i passed first time with only 3 minors (which was me being forgetful). I cant thank Allan enough for teaching me how to be a good safe rider and being so understanding and patient. If you are thinking of getting into biking then book in with Allan as you wont regret it. Thanks again Allan for enabling me to get my bike license. |

Having never ridden a motorbike before I was feeling a bit nervous about having a You've Been Framed moment - you know the one - the bike wheelies and the person hangs on for dear life until they crash into a hedge.
After a brief chat before getting started, any nerves i had were gone and before i knew it i was riding a bike! Needless to say, the day passed without incident. Thanks for an enjoyable days training! See you soon for the DAS. Cheers, Stuart |

Taking my CBT was something I have wanted to do for a fair while and finally this year decided to actually do it. After searching the web, I found TT to be the best because not only was it was local but I really wanted one to one training rather than a group of people at the same time. There were 2 of us the whole day, not 10 or even 15.
Allan (although he is from Nottingham) is a great bloke who takes you through everything step by step. I have never ever ridden a bike before but Allan not only gave me the confidence but literally walked you though not only what you have to know but all that you should know. it started at 8.30 by having a sit down and chat then onto actually getting on the bike. Then after 2 hours of basic training around the car park (1st gear, hazards, clutch control) we got onto the road for a ride. It was a brilliant day made so fun at the same time.
As far as Allan as a trainer is concerned, you could not ask for more. He's a nice bloke who takes time for what ever skill level you are at. He ensures you are totally looked after at the same time as you gradually learn how to ride - safely. Watch his jokes though, he is good at training you how to ride a bike, not a stand up comedian!
I would 100% recommend TT to anyone as you could not ask for more (apart from nice weather - But Allan is not god, well he thinks he is). |

Just a note to thank you for an excellent day's training yesterday - what fun! Not too sure what I was expecting to be honest and I was very nervous beforehand but I was put at ease the minute I arrived. Being a 'lady of a certain age' I did wonder quite how I was going to get on when young Stuart arrived, I suddenly felt 60 not 50! Your enthusiasm and love of motorbiking is infectious and your method of teaching made the whole day such an enjoyable experience. Taking to the road later in the day was far less nerve racking than I had expected and after a slight 'blip' on a roundabout, where your patience and experience shone through, it was all too soon over! I thoroughly recommend TT Motorcycle School particularly as the ratio of 2:1 makes it all feel so safe and personal. |

Allan - Just wanted to thank you for my training on Sunday! I was really nervous as I had never ridden a bike before and I was so worried about being the lame girl who didn’t know what she was doing!! But that changed as soon as I arrived – like someone else has said you were more like a mate than an instructor – I instantly felt comfortable and confident. I thought your teaching was fantastic, you didn’t over complicate anything, it was a fun enjoyable day....which I wasn’t expecting! I thought the fact there was only two of us in training was brilliant as it meant we had one to one training.
I would definitely recommend Allan to anyone who is thinking of doing their training – top guy wicked training!! |

I have to say Allan that at first on the cbt course i felt pretty shakey as i had not ridden for 32 years, and i think you thought that you had got your work cut out for the following week on the one to one DAS course. But on the monday you put my worst fears to rest and off we went on the course. You had a nagging persistance in my ear for the next 3 days do this do that, and teaching me the u turns over and over, but the persistance from you paid off as i managed to pass my test first time. I think your teaching methods are fantastic and i felt i was being taught by a mate rather than some instructor i had just met. Be rest assured that any other potential motorcyclist i meet i will certainly pass on your details. All the best and keep up the good work, also pass on my regards to Nicky .

Hi Allan - The only thing I can really say is THANK YOU.
You have a great sense of humour, little did we now you were going to need it.
Your way of teaching is very good (but your singing is not so good)
You’re honest, straight forward, patient and to the point.
The passion that you have for biking comes through and made me want to get on my own bike and hit the road.
The one thing that I was failing on was the u turn so we went over and over it (your patience).
You nearly did lose it when I fell off the bike 20mins before my test and I had to take the spare bike.
I passed with 4 minors which was amazing but you had faith.
So thank you again. I shall always pass on your name to anyone who wishes to take up motorcycling.

A quick note to thank you for an excellent day on Friday. I
wholeheartedly support previous testimonials on your website -
professional, light hearted, patient and an excellent teacher. Your
enthusiasm and passion for biking are infectious and your patience
second to none. Having previously taken a CBT a few years ago with a
different organisation, I can't stress enough just how different the
two experiences were. Previously, there was way too much macho showing off
and that was just from the instructors! It kinda put me off for a while. But
Allan focussed only on important aspects, has an easy teaching style and
made me feel confident (rather than a 'bird on a bike' as was previously the
case!!)
So, if you're after one-to-one coaching and expert tuition delivered with a
friendly and light-hearted banter, I can't recommend Allan highly enough!
All the best, Jayne

After not being on a bike for 40 years, this course was designed to be a 'get me back on a bike' type refresher course and this is exactly what it was. After a few laps around the car park on a 500cc, we took off around the Sussex country lanes. Despite rain and heavy winds, I really enjoyed myself and learned a lot. Instruction was excellent and this refresher was exactly what I needed before picking up my new Harley next weekend. Thanks Allan! |

A massive thankyou to you Allan for getting me through my DAS. Just got home from a very hot and sweaty day and passed first time with just two minors!
It was hard work at times with Al nagging in my earhole but his quality of teaching is fantastic and he gets you above and beyond the standard expected from the DSA!
Thanks again and all the best for your newly married life. I'll be showing off my new Transalp to Nikki at school!

Thank you so much for all your patience and perseverance with me. I can only keep thinking how lucky I am to be staring out on the big open road with the skills you taught me in the best possible manner. When I started with you I wasn’t so confident, but you changed all that by showing me how it‘s really done!… as well as being a very productive trainer and getting me sorted you also made me really enjoy the idea and experience of riding. Fun informative times were had! Thank you bro. |

Allan, you're a top man. You made me feel at ease, gave me the confidence
to succeed. I've now got the bug and can't wait to use my CBT skills to
take me further with regards to biking and get my ar*e into something
bigger!!!! I loved the banter throughout the day, you gave me the kick up
the ar*e when I needed it and your 1-1 coaching skills were excellent.
You're a funny guy who cracked jokes all day long; I would recommend you to
anyone! Can't wait to pass my theory and I will be straight back to do our Access with you. Danny & Simon (08.06.08- Lewes) |

Well what can I say. Thanks to Allan's patience (and alot of patience was needed with me) and expert training I managed to go from a muppet on Monday to a biker on Thursday, with a first time pass I might add. The training style at TT Motorcycle School is what makes you what to finish the job, yes its hard but its loads of fun, you almost miss it in a way.
So to the wanna be bikers of today get in touch with Allan at TT, and you'll be taking a step in the right direction. You'll learn how to ride a bike not just pass a test. Its one the best decisions I've ever made, and thanks to Allan one of the most enjoyable experience's too. So thanks again mate for all your time and effort, and all the best for the future.

I decided on doing my training with Allan @ TT motorcycle school, Allan has a unique and down to earth way of
teaching which is surprisingly refreshing.
With 1st class training from Allan I passed my practical test first time with only two minor faults, Thankyou !
Forget the rest go for the best TT Motorcycle School !!

To all you wanna be bikers – pick this man to do your CBT. Hadn’t ridden a bike for about twenty odd years and he had me back in the saddle within minutes. Laid back, positive instructor who clearly knows his stuff cos if he can train me then any numpty will pass with him!! Will definitely be going back to take my full license or renew my CBT when the time comes. Phil |

I just want to say a huge thanks to Allan – what a star – cheesy but true. I took my CBT (125) at Christmas, got a bike, and lost my bottle really. Have been out on my bike a handful of times around a tiny village with no traffic. Had a refresher lesson with Allan today. What can I say – well straight away he put me at ease, gave me praise in all the right places and a kick when I needed it. He knows how to put you at ease, doesn’t bullsh*t. I like this honesty as it is the only way to learn. The advice and tuition I received from Allan today was completely different to where I took my CBT and I didn’t hesitate in booking a further lesson to continue to build my confidence. If only TT had been in Lewes then. If you’re a bit nervous or petrified (like me) then Allan’s your man. I certainly will be recommending him to all my friends. Thanks Allan for getting me back on my bike. |

After many years of promising myself I would do it I finally got the
inspiration I needed when I fell in love with a sexy little number in
the train station car park. I just had to have her, or at least one
just like her... a Triumph Bonneville T100! As soon as I got home I
jumped on the internet and found TT Motorcycle School and within a
month I have completed the CBT, passed my theory and practical tests
and pick my new bike up on Saturday! It's true to say this is all down
to Allan at TT. He willingly worked all my one-on-one training around
my work schedule so I didnt lose any money due to taking time off which
was important to me. His friendly funny but very professional teaching
style made the whole journey a total pleasure and I will miss our rides
out. Allan doesn't just teach you to pass your test he teaches you how
to really ride a bike and when you arrive on the day of your test there
will be nothing you wont know or be confident about. Dare I say... the
test is almost easy by the time Allan has finished with you ;) Also,
unlike some other motorcycle schools you can be sure the price you are
quoted is the TOTAL price you will pay. There are no hidden extras,
absolutely everything is included in the price and you will not spend
your learning time sitting in a cafe drinking tea, you will spend it
being taught how to ride a motorbike. If you are interested in just
doing your CBT or going all the way to your full license look no
further than TT Motorcycle School. I can thoroughly recommend them and
will do to anyone who is interested in riding bikes. Thanks a million Al. |

Thank you so much for the superb Direct Access training back in March this year. Getting me from zero to hero in three days and a first-time test pass just shows what a brilliant instructor you are.
The lessons were most enjoyable mainly because they were conducted in your own inimitable style of telling it exactly as it is with no added bull. Praise was given where it was due and prompt correction provided with equal rapidity where necessary.
In spite of dire threats to parts of my anatomy, I now have my own bike and I am learning how to build on the skills you expertly nurtured. The thing is, I can still hear your voice in my ear saying "Mirrors, road position, speed" or "John...you're on a bike, go through!"
Nice one m8, it's all programmed in.
I would like to wish you the very best of luck with your new venture. I really hope it all works out for you. You deserve the success. All the best, John Street |

I passed my DAS back in September 07 (first time) with TT Motorcycle School and would like to thank Allan for all his ‘encouragement’ during the course. Luckily, I am one of these people who thrive when being verbally abused all day long by a short **** in leather trousers that are too tight!! It was a great couple of days and the laid back and friendly atmosphere that Allan creates allows you to concentrate on learning to ride properly and to the standard required to pass your test. I would have no problems recommending TT Motorcycle School to my friends and family in the future. Thank you very much & sorry it’s so late.

Just past my test on the first attempt on the 25th October after doing the direct access course with Allan. Really enjoyed the course, and think the relaxed atmosphere throughout the course was very beneficial. Allan managed to show me all i needed to know and more during the four days, and left me feeling confident and ready for the test.When choosing somewhere to do my direct access i found that of all the places I contacted, TT Motorcycle School was the most co-operative and professional, to fit me in to my limited timeframe. Everything went smoothly with no problems and all went to plan.
I would highly recommend TT Motorcycle School and the instructor Allan to anyone who wants to get into biking, either with or without previous experience and wish him and the business all the best for the future.

I needed a bit more than a refresher course – nearly 40 years is a long time to be behind a steering wheel and away from handle bars!
I needn’t have worried. Allan calmed me down, kitted me up, swore at me a few times and made me feel totally at ease. I reached 5mph in no time at all!
In only my second hour I was out on the road and feeling more and more confident, despite Allan’s constant nagging in my ear on his one way intercom system. Because it was only one way I wasn’t able to nag back! He soon had me travelling at the right speed, in the right gear, in the right position on the road and even going in the right direction. These intercoms are wonderful things!
Thanks to Allan I now have the confidence to go out, buy a big tourer and ride it safely! I’d certainly recommend anyone who’s thinking of coming back to biking to let Allan have the chance to raise your confidence and safety awareness sky high.
Cheers Allan

Thanks Allan for getting me through my Direct Access. I am confident I chose the right school for the job,
TT motorcycle school is professional and affordable. Allan is patient and helps with your weakness at riding,
if you've never riden before Allan can get you through your Direct Access and help you to become a confident rider. Allan also makes a good cup of tea, cheers again Allan i'll send as many people as i know (who want to ride) your way.

Hi Allan
I would just like to say thank you, before sunday I had never been on a bike let alone rode one, by thursday of the same week I am now a fully fledged motorcyclist!! This is all down to you and your training. It was tough going and an exhausting week being there for 7am every day but with your teaching and humour you got me through it and made it enjoyable. At the end not only did I gain my license I gained a good mate. May all your riding days be sunny!! Cheers Mark of Clays Motors. |

Hi Alan, just want to say a big thanks for getting me through my test! I started my training Monday morning, and by Thursday morning I had passed, and it was all down to the teaching! The instruction was brilliant, the lessons fun and excellent value for money! I'm actually missing the lessons they were such a laugh!
Allan's tuition gave me the confidence not only to pass but the ability to ride on my own with confidence! The evening of passing my test I was out riding through the peak district, I wasn't nervous because I knew everything I had been taught was correct! You won't find any better training school!
Thanks again!

Hi Alan
I just wanted to say thanks for getting me through my test.
Having been trained incorrectly elsewhere, I had failed my test 3 weeks earlier.
A couple of hours training with Alan, who mended my ways, and I was set for the test.
Though understandably nervous, I was successful and put it all down to Alan’s guidance.
Thanks again.
Oh, and good luck with the wedding next year.

"I’ve always thought of myself of a confident road user but after all the stories and the compulsory know the hazards talk I was starting to think of that nice steel cage parked down the other end of the parking lot. Alan and Simon both are very cheerful and know every trick in the book to give you the best training and confidence boost until they turn to you and say right lead on! I've never ridden anything before just a push bike out on the roads all 6years of road sense went out the window, but after a chat from Simon I soon settled down and importantly started to enjoy it. A great day lads I know I’ve got my work cut out for this week (DAS) but I know your always there at TT to get me above and beyond pass level never mind do all the worrying cheers lads Simon."

Hi Alan,
Thanks again for an excellent introduction to biking! The CBT course I did on Saturday was, surprisingly, more comprehensive than I expected; Simon and you were friendly, welcoming and professional. Having never ridden a motorbike before I was a bit apprehensive about riding on the road, particularly in traffic but after riding out to CMC in Chesterfield my nervousness had subsided and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride back.

If you are thinking about taking your Bike licence and have no idea which school is good or which are the pants ones then your confusion stops here. Alan and Simon have the best abilities, personalities, attitudes and training ethics I have ever experienced. I have taken my Car, HGV class 2 and HGV class 1 licences so I’m getting used to this driving lark but I had so many bad habits and traits to overcome I thought I would never pass my Bike licence. However, with Alan’s keen eye and experience he knew exactly how to fix me. With training far and above test level so that if I did have a bad day I should still pass, which I obviously did!
You’ll have fun, have a laugh and you get to ride a bike, how cool is that?
Huge thanks to the two of you.
Cheers matey!

Hi Guys,
What can I say… I had a great time doing my D.A.S although I thought I was going to spit my dummy out whilst doing my C.B.T with it being the first time that I had ever even attempted to ride a bike!!!! But you got me there in the end in not quite 3 months at that…crazy!! I think you where great and I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to ride and have recommended you to m8’s so keep up the excellent work…. See ya’s around and take care.
The lovely Lisa Hatton x

I really enjoyed the day and learned loads. You gave me the confidence to ride the bike and I'm now looking forward to being on the bike and improving my skills.
Both Alan and Simon and relaxed and encouraging, even when you're not being gentle with the throttle or staring into their eyes when they've asked you too!
Anyone out there who's not sure about riding a motorbike? I would recommend TT. I arrived full of nerves and left with a big smile (despite being freezing and soaked). |

Alan, Darren here, wanting to thank you so much for getting me through my C.B.T. your observation of my many little faults and dedication in putting them right must be commended. You gave me the confidence to have a go on the "big" bike and made me feel so at ease on the road. I will definitely recommend your training school and will be contacting you for my D.A.S. Cheers to you and Simon and again, thanks. Darren Melbourne. |

What can I say, charming,witty,sophisticated,good looking,intelligent! oh
sorry guys was thinking of someone else!
However, 2 excellent instructors who know their stuff.
They guided me through my lessons, if I was doing something wrong I would be
told why it was going wrong and either shown or talked through how to
correct it and get it right.
Both Simon And Alan put me at ease and built up my confidence to make sure
that I was safe when out riding, I passed my test and am now looking forward
to many happy hours out and about.
I couldn't have done it without you guys you are more like mates than
instructors.
Thanks for putting up with me.
Will be seeing you hopefully on your rideouts! oh and Alan - don't forget

Comments: What an enjoyable day! Great fun, gained essential knowledge and had lots of opportunity to practice under clear instruction. The aims of the course, safety equipment, the bike itself, how to operate the controls, on-road requirements and on-road riding were all covered thoroughly. During the day, student competence and confidence builds up progressively and new riders begin to further developing their all important observational skills. The structured approach to the training ensures that all course elements are covered and any questions are answered but the over-riding attribute of this course for me at TT Training was the environment provided by the instructors. I'm sure these guy's really could teach grannies to suck eggs! The smile on your face when you finish lasts for weeks. Thanks guy's, I'll be back for further training soon, as I'm sure will many.

Thanks for your help so far, here is a testimonial for your website :
"When I first decided to learn how to ride a motorcycle I had no idea which school to choose.
These guys were recommended to me by a friend, they have lots of patience, really understand bikes
and see it as their mission to ensure that not only do you pass the theory and practical exams, but also
continue to use the lessons learnt in order to become a better rider.
I would recommend them to anyone considering taking motorcycle lessons"

I’ve never ridden a motorbike before going to my CBT at TT so was a little anxious as to whether I’d even be able to do it. Simon was very good and explained everything in a down to earth and simple way and within no time I was pottering around the car park. Out on the road Simon helped with my confidence by blocking of unwanted cars and making me feel safe and his instruction was excellent. Got my DAS in a couple of weeks also and looking forward to it. Would definitely recommend TT to anyone wanting to learn. |

Passed my test first time last thursday (12th October) with no previous riding experience other than my C.B.T three months ago. As someone else said in their testomonial...."What's that all about?"...lol Wow what a week tho! Talk about in at the deep end! But I'll tell you what!...It works! Can't think of how it could have possibly been any better! .....other than the weather maybe...we had some pretty heavy rain on the wednesday...it's all good though cos it prepares you for real life on the road, it's not always sunny is it...lol....Al and Simon, as I've said before, not only great instructors...Great blokes too..extra special big thanks to Simon for the one on one instruction throughout the week...You really were spot on mate! And Al...you made the difference for me, with that U-turn...on the day of the test it was easy...to be honest the whole test seemed easy. You made it that way lads...Cheers...Keep it up and good luck for the future!..I will tell everyone about TT..Cheers..Steve Willoughby |

Alan and Simon,
After more years than I care to mention in attempting to get legally roadworthy, you guys finally got me to achieve one of my dreams of being mobile and learning to ride a motorbike (of a fashion ) and yes I know I am buying a 'ped (see I listened and learned the lingo too!) but I will be back in the spring to do the big one......on a proper bike!!
Patience and countless cups of tea - what more could I ask for? Oh, and thanks for teaching me how to group the 'adult' words together in a more effective manner!!!!!
You two are top blokes and I would, and will, recommend your Training Centre to anyone who wants to learn from the best.
Right - where's my credit card? Need to go pay for some wheels........
Thank you both,
Pete Ward (or Paul or Martin or whatever Alan decides to call me!!)

I had a great time with you both, informative and entertaining, it's more difficult than it looks but when you pass it gives you such a buzz, wasn't sure about taking the test on friday 13th. Anyone reading this, if your looking to train on two wheels give these guys a call you won't find better training anywhere. Thanks again guys see you on the road.

Who’d have thought it – 40 years old, never ridden, and with just 16 hours training I’d pass my test!
Thanks for getting me through it, Al. I never thought I’d pass - right up until the morning of my test – but after it I realised you’d taught me everything I needed and more. It was hard work, and I could have sworn at you a few times (well, did actually!), but you did what you said you would - YOU GOT ME A PASS FIRST TIME!!
I would absolutely recommend Tarmac Training to anyone who wants to learn quickly but still very safely! (well, unless you are a vicar or a prude!!!!!!!!)
All the best for the future.

"I cant thank Alan and Simon enough for dedicating so much time and patience! Not only did I breeze through the CBT I had two full days worth of thorough and tailored training on a 125 and a 500 with good, clear and honest instruction... it was a swealtering few days but I was catered for with lolipops, water, tea and humour... I sure will miss you guys! and I promise to come visit from the sunny south when I pass down here next week!"

The first time I ever sat on a motorbike was back in the middle of April this year when I did my CBT with lads at tarmac training. I knew absolutely nothing about motorbikes up until that day, all I knew was that I wanted to be able to ride one. After doing my CBT I decided to book myself in to do the DAS with Alan and Simon. I did my DAS on the week beginning the 19th of June. All I can say was that it was a very enjoyable expierence. At the end of the week I had my driving test and to my surprise, and probably alot of other peoples surprise, I passed my test first time! The boys worked wonders. Thanks a million. |

I arrived at the centre not really knowing what to expect but was welcomed and made to feel comfortable straight away. The whole day was good fun and I didn't feel pressured, while at the same time each activity was monitored and taken seriously with really good, constant feedback from the instructors. When out on the road towards the end of the day I was given good clear guidance and reassurance and after the two hours riding I felt really comfortable on the road.
I can highly recommend tarmac training to anyone looking to do their CBT and I will definitely be back to do my Direct Access once I have completed my theory test.
Many thanks to Alan and Simon for an enjoyable day
