# Abbey Rider Training
Abbey Rider Training is Swindon's longest-established motorcycle training school, pioneering the free introductory lesson format. They provide comprehensive rider training for all experience levels, from complete beginners through to advanced riders and those returning to biking after a break.
The school caters to anyone wanting to learn motorcycle riding, regardless of their starting point. Whether you're pursuing your initial motorcycle licence, progressing through licence categories, or seeking to refine your skills, Abbey Rider Training guides customers through the entire journey.
What distinguishes them is their commitment to honest assessment and bespoke course structuring. Rather than pushing intensive courses or quoting prices without understanding individual needs, they conduct free intro lessons to accurately evaluate riders and recommend appropriate training. They're accredited by the Motorcycle Industry Accreditation Centre (MCIAC), meaning independent audits verify their standards exceed DVSA requirements. As an approved Honda school, they can offer competitive deals on bikes and training finance, though you needn't be a Honda customer to train with them.
Their philosophy prioritises enjoyment over endurance—courses are designed to be flexible and tailored, not gruelling. They explicitly avoid the pressure sales tactics of undercutting competitors with unrealistic quotes. This transparent approach helps customers make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes like booking unnecessary training or falling short of requirements before tests.
