Channel Rider Training
has been family owned and run by motorcycle enthusiasts
since 1984 - yes over 25 years of industry leading experience.
We have grown to be the largest
and acknowledged best in Kent. Ask around, we have the
"top notch" reputation; friendly yet totally
professional.
Our training centre is
in the town you test in, with easy access from motorway,
mainline rail station and bus routes. Fully self contained,
it combines a comfortable indoor classroom with a unique
tarmac'd off-road training area with road markings and
junctions. Our offices, garages and workshop are also
on-site.
We give quality and value
for your time and money and even give a guarantee you
will pass*. We "put our money where our mouth is."
Add top quality Kit, quality
modern Bikes and the best, fully qualified expert Instructors
and you can see why :-
Kent Motorcycle Dealers Recommend
"Channel" To Their Customers.
Experts ? well yes,
we are highly regarded throughout the Industry.
We advise other Training Schools across the country

of experts.
