Phoenix Motorcycle Training - Wigan Opiniões 

Nick at the Wigan centre coached me through a half day ‘refresher’ session.
I’ve been biking all my life but there was still so much to learn.
An excellent 3 hours which helped me develop my road skills.
Nick was ultra professional but friendly and approachable at the same time.

Amazing. Will be coming back for my advanced one. Mr macmillan was a superb teacher very friendly, knowledgable and patient. Don’t know how much he gets paid but double it. Cheers, Ed

Top notch motorcycle training. Would highly recommend.

I completed my Mod 1 and Mod 2 training with Nick at The Three Sisters racetrack in Wigan. Nick is a fantastic instructor who is keen to help people with all aspects of the training. I am very pleased to say that I passed both mods first time and felt supported by Nick for the entire experience. I’m now on the hunt for a bike and cannot wait to be cruising around. Thanks Nick and Phoenix Motorcycle Training.

The best motorbike school in my opinion and Nick is the best instructor around would highly recommend using phoenix

Nick was very good teaching since I’ve had no experience riding and very patience and would answer any questions we had kept me calm especially when we out on the road would highly recommend will be doing my full license with him

Great coaching and advice from Nick to get to full motorbike licence. Really enjoyed the experience. Glad it’s over! Excellent service from the office/booking too. Great value.

Had no prior motorbike experience, but the instructor Nick was brilliant, couldnt fault him. Clear with communication and thorough with his training and instructions. Would recommend.

Great experience thanks to nick as I struggled a bit at first-I wild highly recommend-Steve👍🏍️😁

The communication, support, encouragement and humour from the whole Phoenix team. Throughout the journey in achieving my goal of attaining a class A full motorbike license at the age of 70 years young. Has been excellent.

In particular Nick my instructor who was absolutely brilliant 🏍️🏍️

Very reassuring, calm, clear introduction- instructions and brilliant instructor. (Nick)

One of the best instructors i have ever seen, the instructor was very nice and helpful during the training.

Recently used phoenix motorcycle for my CBT. Honestly cannot give Nick enough credit, he's clearly the right person for the job. He kept things fun whilst also showing the importance of safety and for someone like me that goes a long way when it comes to learning. Will be recommending these to any future friends or family that want to start their motorcycle journey :D 12/10

My Instructor was amazing, explained everything really clear was positive friendly an made my anxiety melt away. He was just full of praise and the way he shown us things was so easy for us to be able to understand. Can't wait to do my mod 1 and mod 2 with him

Course delivered very well by the instructor (Nick Mcmillan) 👍👍. I will use Phoenix Motorcycle Training again 👍

Excellent training totally professional and great price

As a bit of background, I am 21 years old, just completed my A2 bike license (spoilers), and I have wanted to ride a bike since I was a little kid.

I started my riding experience by completing my CBT in early September, with JB. Myself, another rider on a geared 125, and a rider on an automatic moped were in the session. The morning consisted of basic information, skills and handling, and at this point, the other geared rider went home has he did not have control of the bike (due to nerves). After lunch, we talked a little bit about roadcraft and then spent 2 hours on the road. Considering I had never ridden a motorbike, by the end of the day, I felt really comfortable on the road. JB was attentive, encouraging, and clearly knew what he was doing!

Following my CBT, I went off and passed my theory test, and then booked last minute onto a big bike conversion day (late September), where I met Nick (my instructor for the rest of my DAS license). I started back on the CB125F to get used to the roads again, and within 45 mins he decided I was ready to jump up to the Z650 (restricted). He helped me navigate the difference between a big bike and the 125 I used to, and again, it was a super positive environment.

Queue a long wait before my next training. Given the popularity of PMT, and my busy schedule, I wasn't able to get back in the school's saddle until late November. In the meantime, I spent numerous hours on YT watching Mod 1 and 2 tips, as well as riding my Meteor 350 around the garage (50 miles).

By the time my Mod 1 training rolled around, we were in the midst of a cold spell, and I woke up to a -3 deg start. On arrival, the training pad had frozen over, and the bike battery was drained by the cold. We rectified the battery, and Nick fought tooth and nail to source another pad to use, allowing me to work further on my slow-speed manoeuvres, which were already up-to-scratch, and develop my high-speed skills (hard to practice in a garage). In the afternoon, we went out to the roads, to develop some more road awareness, and Nick made this an extremely positive experience, ensuring I was warm enough and had plenty time to rest where needed. He also gave me opportunity to view the test centre at St. Helens to see what the pad looked like, and talked me through the test super thoroughly,

The next day, I arrived at the training school, and we spent an hour or so tootling round to settle back into the bike. We arrived in plenty time to settle my nerves, have a chat with other candidates, and breeze through my test. I was more than prepared for the test, and passed with no minors (59kmh stop and 53kmh swerve) to show for it!

My Mod 2 training was the week after, again, I managed to pick one of the coldest days of the year, but managed to avoid ice this time. We spent a full day riding, with 5+ hours in the seat riding around, building my confidence, and by the end of the day I was smooth, flowy and confident. We practiced various test routes, road features, and by the end of the day, it felt like just going for a pleasant ride.

My Mod 2 test occurred the day after, and I really want to sing Nick's praises for this one. We had a 6:30 start, in order to give us enough time to warm up for a 7:50 ride, but after a preparatory coffee, disaster! A thick fog descended, and upon arrival to the centre, Darren (the examiner) informed us that tests had been cancelled! Nick did a fantastic job of reassuring me (I wasn't super happy at this point), and spent close to an hour back and forthing with Darren, the DVSA and Phoenix HQ to organise a postponed test for 10:51. This was beyond appreciated, as I had taken leave for the morning, and didn't want to lose this time. We headed back to the school, and I had breakfast whilst I waited, before heading back to the test centre for a pass with only 3 minors (pulling over opposite a car, approach speed to a junction, and pulling forward without a full view).

As it stands, I completed my DAS license on Wed 4th Dec, insured my Royal Enfield the same day, and have already done 200 miles in the past 72 hours; this is all thanks to Nick, JB and the Phoenix team.

My experience with Phoenix has been simply outstanding. As noted, I couldn't recommend a better instructor than Nick: friendly, funny and fair. You can tell that he has a real passion for biking, and wants to pass that on to his students. We chatted about bikes, trips and gear the whole time we were together, and I felt he really listened to any concerns I had, and gave absolutely send advice through my sessions.

Another note about the admin team. They were absolutely ace. They helped facilitate my complicated schedule, ensured I had all the information and kept an eye out for dates that would work.

Overall, after hearing horror stories about other providers, I cannot recommend Phoenix Motorcycle Training more highly. Use your time and money wisely!

I was really nervous and my instructor was brilliant with me made me feel really comfortable and really gained my confidence had a brilliant experience highly recommend
