Recommended training schools in Bristol

[ipip]

Can anyone recommend a training school for DAS in the Bristol area? I did my CBT with the Welsh guys who offer training just behind Fowlers, but interested to know what others think of alternatives.

My brother did his with
https://kickstart-mct.com/
no complaints there.

I did my CBT at Clevedon before it was sold to them.

Thanks, I'll have a look at them. The Keynsham site is not too far from me.

Look at message further down.

These guys have a Bristol School https://www.phoenixtrainingonline.co.uk/centre-Bristol.asp

I did all my stuff with their Amesbury school which was very good.

Years back now, no idea what they're like these days/with the new licensing stuff but had a good experience with Ace. Have done 2 CBT's and a few days training with them. Used to be in Brislington, then behind Fowlers for a while - they've relocated elsewhere now but maybe the same bunch you've done training with already?

Stupid me the one I'm going with is Ace Motorcycle training
https://www.acemotorcycletraining.co.uk/ apparently next to the football club where ever that is.

This is the reply I got when inquiring; bear in mind I've already got cbt and theory.

Looks like a good deal and gives me the flexibility to do it in 2 parts, which will be easier to manage around work. I assume you're going for A2 if they're talking about restricted 500cc?

Might be late info now, but my lad did his CBT, then a year or so later
his direct access thing/full license with this lot in Winterbourne N Bristol

He passed, but I have no idea how they compare with other places

Have you ended up choosing one, just curious encase there is a better deal around the area.

No decision yet, but probably down to either Pheonix or BMT. Pheonix are favourites as they offer a discount for Armed Forces and I'm always keen to support those who support us uniformed types.

Your deal with Ace looks pretty good, assuming they offer similar prices for Cat A DAS, but they haven't got back to me yet.

Spoke to a couple of biker mates when I was back in Bristol yesterday and they all did theirs with Kickstart in Keynsham and had a good experience, so seems a safe thumbs up for them too if you need another option.

Decided to book Mod 1 day + test with Pheonix. I'll post back progress, but couldn't get a theory test booked until late March so got a few weeks to wait.

I passed with Phoenix Bristol with Mike training me. I couldn't praise him enough. Very patient and really good, helpful analysis when I got things wrong.

I did both Mod 1 (twice!) and Mod 2 training with Phoenix, passing my Mod 2 today, first time.

I can strongly recommend them and having seen some of the other instructors/students at the test centre I can say their manner, methods and professionalism are first class.
