CBT Training Telford

Looking for CBT training near Telford?

BikeWise doesn’t currently run a school inside Telford itself, but our Shrewsbury training centre is the closest fully-equipped site around 14 miles and 20–25 minutes from Telford town centre via the A5. Riders from all over Telford & Wrekin train with us every week, and most tell us the short drive is well worth it for a calmer training ground away from Telford’s busier roads. Give us a call and we can talk through which training day suits your Telford commute best, so you’re not stuck in rush-hour traffic on the A442 or M54.

From Telford, take the A5 westbound towards Shrewsbury — it’s a straightforward, mostly dual-carriageway drive taking around 20–25 minutes. Coming from Wellington, Oakengates or Dawley, allow closer to 25–30 minutes. If you’re relying on public transport, the X5/X75 bus routes and the Shrewsbury–Telford train line both run into Shrewsbury town centre, a short walk or taxi ride from our training site at Meole Brace.

Full address and directions to our Shrewsbury school are further down this page.

We look forward to seeing you!

    Having never ridden a motorbike, and last riding a pushbike some 15+ years ago I was quite nervous to undertake my CBT. Both Tony and the other participants (who’d been riding for years) were fantastic in calming my nerves and keeping me on track. Tony was very patient and worked with me to get me on the road and complete my CBT with no issues. Now to practice!! Thanks to all the team, Joan

    I've passed my full bike licence with Bikewise Shrewsbury first try and no faults (both Mod1 and Mod2). My instructor Tony was excellent. He prepared me very very well. Tony's way of teaching and getting information in your head is great. I didn't feel under pressure and all the instructions were clear and well explained. Training motorcycles are perfect for the job (Kawasaki z650s). Comfortable, good size, not heavy and the engines are torquey. Motorcycles were clean and mechanically sound. I would definitely recommend doing your licence with Bikewise. It will be quick, well organised and you'll be riding "big bikes" in no time. Thank you Tony for being a great teacher. I'm already enjoying my Yamaha FZ1N and the smile on my face is always there. Take care.

    Highly recommended! I was quite nervous about going through my CBT having never ridden a motorbike. Tony the instructor is very knowledgeable, shares his personal riding experiences in the context of delivering the training and was very patient. Glad to say that I passed and felt much more comfortable and confident at the end of the CBT day.
