Congratulations to Mark who this afternoon passed his module-2 motorcycle test at the first attempt to match his first time module-1 motorcycle test pass from Tuesday!
Mark joined us for a CBT last Friday, which was his first real day riding a motorcycle after having played about on one as a child. He then took advantage of our 3.5 day Direct Access package, which included getting acquainted with our Suzuki SFV650 Gladius and then training on Sunday at the test centre to prepare for his module-1 test, then further training on Monday a day that was quite eventful as our instructor picked up a puncture in his front tyre whilst in Macclesfield on the lesson!
Tuesday was the day of his module-1 test, which he aced, passing with zero faults, before spending the remainder of the day working on his road-riding skills whilst riding some of the local test routes.
Then today was the big one, with an hour’s pre-test ride to put the final polish on his riding before he took the module-2 motorcycle test just after lunch. A very competent ride saw him collect just 2 minor faults and earn his place in our “Double-First” club for riders who have passed both test first time!
Congratulations, Mark!
Mark passed both parts of the motorcycle test first time. No wonder he looks happy!
Another double-first this time for Stuart, who may have had an advantage being a driving instructor, but that shouldn’t take away from his achievement!
Congratulations, Stuart!

And he was kind enough to record a short video about his experiences, which you can see here.
Congratulations to Dean who today passed his module-2 motorcycle test to obtain his full Category A motorcycle licence!
With a Kawasaki Z750S secured by a deposit and waiting for him to pass the bike test, he’s all set to get out riding whilst the Summer weather continues to shine (although the forecast is for rain this weekend!). Time to trade in the Honda CBF125 he’s been riding and ditch the L-plates for good!
Well done, Dean!
Dean, all smiles after passing his motorcycle test!
Congratulations are due to John who this morning got his A2 bike licence after passed his module-2 motorcycle test FIRST TIME to match his first time module-1 test pass on Monday!
As he is just 19 years old, John took his training and tests on one of our restricted Suzuki SFV650 Gladius bikes. The bike is fitted with a category A2 ECU which limits power to below the 35Kw (46.6bhp) limit. Taking advantage of our 4.5-day Direct Access course gave John plenty of saddle time as well as 2 full days preparation for his module-1 test which included mock tests at Bredbury Test Centre over last weekend. On Monday he aced his module-1 test, completing all the manoeuvres without incurring a single fault. A further day’s road based training then prepared him to take his module-2 test, which he also excelled at, passing first time!
So now he has a full category A2 motorcycle licence and is looking to get his Kawasaki Er-6 on the road quickly, just as soon as the restrictor kit arrives!
Congratulations, John, and we look forward to seeing you shortly for our Bike Maintenance evening class!
Huge congratulations to John on achieving a “Double First” by passing both modules 1 & 2 of his A2 motorcycle test first time this week!
Once more, Inner Circle Training is proud to announce that another couple of our students have joined the ranks of the “Double First” club, having passed both their Direct Access module-1 and module-2 tests at their first attempt.
Matt can to us following a recommendation from one of our previous students (and another member of the “Double First” club!) having never previously ridden a bike. He did his CBT with Col, initially struggling to get to grips with the clutch but thanks to Col’s patience and excellent instruction he progressed well enough to complete his CBT in one day. His next step was to take our 3.5day DAS package, confident that his road awareness was good enough due to his driving experience. Following 2 days of training with Paul including practicing the module-1 exercises at Bredbury Test Centre, he sailed through his module-1 test with NO FAULTS. Further road-based training following his mod-1 test put the polish on his riding ready for his module-2, which he again passed first time and with just a single rider fault. A very good result indeed!
Well done, Matt!
Matt did his CBT with us having never ridden a bike, then our 3.5 day DAS course and passed both his module-1 and module-2 tests FIRST TIME. No wonder he looks happy!
Lee was also referred to us, this time by his father-in-law who recently undertook an Enhanced Rider Scheme course with us to qualify as a volunteer rider for Manchester Blood Bikes. He came with a history of riding a 125cc bike, so booked our “Experienced Rider” 2.5day DAS course. After just 1 day’s training with Paul, again including time at Bredbury Test Centre practicing the module-1 exercises, he also passed his mod-1 test FIRST TIME and with NO FAULTS! The rest of day 2 was spent putting him through his paces on the road to prepare for his module-2 test, which he also passed first time and with very few (2) minor riding faults. Another superb result.
Well done, Lee!

Yet another Inner Circle Training success story today as Adam has passed his Direct Access module-2 motorcycle test in the nick of time!
Adam is a teacher and lives in London, where he had some training with a local school but didn’t have much success when it came to passing his module-2 motorcycle test. So he decided to take the advice of his brother, Jack, who trained with us at Inner Circle and passed his test at the first attempt. With the pressure of a family ride down to Toulouse in France planned for next week, Adam came in for a day’s training on Tuesday and had his test booked for Wednesday.
But things don’t always go to plan and at the last minute the DVSA cancelled his test!
Fortunately, swift work from Tracy in our office and we had another test booked for him today (Friday), just a day before he was due to ride down to his London home ready to start the journey to France on Sunday!
Thanks to the excellent training he received from Paul, he took and passed his test with flying colours!
So now he’s able to join his Dad, brother and family friend on an adventure to France, lucky sod!
Another round of congratulations is due to Ross and Tom who today b0th passed their Direct Access module-2 motorcycle tests at the first attempt.
Ross did his CBT with us shortly after we opened 2 years ago and got himself a 125cc bike to ride, which was sadly stolen before Christmas last year. With no bike to ride and a job offer that depended on him having his full bike licence, it was time for some serious action – so he booked himself on one of our 2.5 day Direct Access (DAS) courses. His first day was last Saturday, when we took him up to Bredbury test centre for some module-1 test training; then on Tuesday he took and passed his module-1 test. With his original module-2 test not until late August, Tracy leapt into action and found him one on Thursday! With a full day’s training on Tuesday to put the necessary polish on his riding he was ready for his test and passed it with flying colours at the first attempt!
Tom also did his CBT with us some time ago and bought himself a Honda CB125F to get some experience on, and following training by both Nic and Paul he was also well prepared for his test, getting that all-important first time pass so he can now remove the L-plates (or upgrade his bike for a bigger one!).
Well done, guys, it’s been a pleasure to train you both and we hope to see you soon to help you further improve your riding!
Ross and Tom who both passed their bike tests first time!
Chris had spent a lot of his training in the rain, so to say it was really refreshing to see the sun today was not exaggerated. With a first time module 2 pass Chris was delighted. He’d had an eventful journey getting to today. With his Mod 1 being cancelled due to ‘Adverse weather’ rain in other words it didn’t start off well. The great smile proves though how happy he is having completed both modules and passed. He was even congratulated by the examiner on a really great test pass.
With the constant rain we seem to be having it was more than a little expected today. However the sun came out and stayed out, it’s been warm and dry and Javier had a successful first time module 2 pass. He also passed his module 1 with zero faults, something to be very proud of. His huge smile says it all, he’s worked incredibly hard and been awarded with a very deserving full A category motorcycle licence,
The weathers not been great, but Mike has still been out training in the rain which isn’t fun at all. Despite this he managed a superb module 2 pass with a module 1 pass earlier in the week. Time to upgrade to a bigger 2 wheels now?
