Good at making the content of the training courses sound attractive.

Bad Points
In reality the training is NOTHING like they describe!

General Comments
Think Bikes offers the Direct Access Scheme of motorbike licence training. They say they have a first class team of instructors. On day one of the course I was immediately placed on a high powered bike, and having never ridden a motorbike before I found this extremely daunting, something which the instructors were not concerned about. The first part of learning to ride took place in an open space quite a distance from their offices. There were 20 students to a ratio of 3 instructors. For the first day of the course (the Compulsary Basic Training) they had us all riding round in a massive square, but were really unconcerned about what the students were doing. I ended up falling off the bike, which, they said, invalidated the rest of my DAS, as they said I could not continue with the CBT as I came off the bike. As a consequence, after just 3 hours with their "training", I lost my full course fee, which was over £600. I would definately NOT recommend this "training school" to ANYONE.
