# Mantis Motorcycle Training
Mantis Motorcycle Training, based in Hythe, is a professional motorcycle training school specialising in learner and full licence courses. They serve aspiring motorcyclists seeking to obtain their A1, A2, or full DAS (Direct Access Scheme) qualifications, as well as experienced riders looking to develop advanced skills.
The school distinguishes itself through genuine commitment to quality and safety. They've invested in modern, market-relevant bikes including Yamaha MT07s and Honda CB600Fs, maintained exclusively by their onsite workshop to guarantee students train on well-kept equipment. This dedication to standards extends to partnerships with Inta Bikes for MOT services and parts sourcing.
What sets them apart is their transparent, no-nonsense approach. They operate a zero-tolerance policy on abuse, implement firm deposit requirements to reduce no-shows, and hold students accountable for Highway Code knowledge rather than waiving this requirement. Their instructors prioritise genuine safety over course completion, with authority to terminate training if concerns arise.
Beyond standard licensing, they offer flexibility through tailored packages and specialist training including big bike introductions, advanced cornering techniques, and practical skills like pillion carrying and trailer securing. They also provide loaner safety equipment, though they responsibly encourage proper in-person helmet fitting rather than internet purchases.
Their straightforward terms and conditions—including damage liability and mandatory theory test completion—reflect a school focused on producing competent, safety-conscious riders rather than processing applications.
