# Compass Bike Training
Compass Bike Training is a DVSA-registered motorcycle training provider based in Saint Austell, Cornwall, delivering professional rider education across multiple licence categories. The business caters to diverse riders: complete beginners aged 16+ seeking their Compulsory Basic Training, returning motorcyclists rebuilding confidence after years away, and experienced riders progressing to larger bikes. They serve the broader Cornish community, drawing students from Bodmin, Truro, Liskeard, Newquay and surrounding areas.
What distinguishes Compass is their comprehensive progressive licensing pathway approach. Rather than one-off training, they guide riders through the full journey from AM to full A licence, enabling candidates to advance at 16 (AM), 17 (A1), 19 (A2), and as early as 21 (A licence) through structured progression. This strategy means riders avoid retaking theory tests whilst gaining real-world experience between licence upgrades.
The company operates two training sites, including a full-size Mod 1 training area for practical assessment. They include bike hire and official test fees within their full licence course packages, removing hidden costs. Their one-hour pre-course sessions at £70 allow nervous riders to build confidence before committing to full courses. Whether motivation is economical commuting, college transport, or recreational riding, Compass positions itself as the comprehensive solution for motorcyclists at every stage, combining affordability, convenience and expert instruction tailored to individual goals.
