# Able Motorcycle Training
Able Motorcycle Training, operating as part of the All Ride & Able partnership, provides DVSA-approved motorcycle training across Wiltshire and Somerset. Based in Trowbridge, the school serves learners aged 16 and above from Bradford on Avon, Melksham, Chippenham, Devizes, Bath, Frome, Radstock, and Midsomer Norton.
The business specialises in Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) for all motorcycle and moped riders, alongside progression to full licence qualifications. Their structured CBT programme combines classroom tuition covering road safety, protective equipment, and bike maintenance with practical training on 50cc mopikes or 125cc motorbikes. Students progress from controlled training areas to supervised road riding once instructors confirm competency.
What distinguishes Able is their commitment to personalised learning. They deliberately group trainees of similar experience and ability together to promote confidence and consistent pacing. The school provides all necessary protective equipment on-site, though trainees are encouraged to bring their own. A recent Frome location now offers weekday CBTs specifically for experienced riders renewing their certification.
The training addresses a genuine safety need—CBT was introduced by the government in 1990 to reduce motorcycle-related road accidents, a mission Able actively supports through quality instruction. Their philosophy acknowledges that riders come to motorcycling at all life stages, positioning themselves as inclusive and non-judgmental about age or experience level.
