Led by the highly regarded Eric Dalton and his team of expert instructors, the school is celebrated for its unwavering commitment to rider safety and comprehensive skill development. Unlike larger chains, Dalton fosters a close-knit, family-like atmosphere where students are treated with genuine care and patience, ensuring a supportive environment from the very first phone call to the final handshake.

The core strength of Dalton lies in the exceptional quality of its instructors. Eric Dalton, along with Peter, John, and other team members, brings a wealth of knowledge and real-world experience to every lesson. Their teaching style is frequently described as systematic, thorough, and clear, breaking down complex riding concepts into manageable steps. Whether dealing with complete novices or experienced riders returning to the sport, the instructors provide personalized attention, identifying and correcting bad habits while building confidence. Many students highlight the instructors' ability to remain calm and encouraging, even in challenging situations, which helps alleviate pre-test nerves and fosters a deep trust in the learning process.

Comprehensive IBT and Advanced Courses

The school offers a full spectrum of RSA-approved training modules, ensuring students are fully prepared for every stage of their licensing journey. Key offerings include:

  • Initial Bike Training (IBT): A rigorous two-day course covering all necessary modules, from basic bike control in a secure training ground to advanced road riding.
  • Pre-Test Preparation: Specialized lessons designed to refine skills and ensure readiness for the official RSA test, with a high success rate for first-time passes.
  • Advanced Rider Training: Courses for those looking to enhance their roadcraft and safety skills beyond the basics.
  • Back to Biking: Tailored support for riders returning to motorcycling after a break or accident, helping them regain confidence and correct previous errors.

Professional Facilities and Quality Equipment

Located discreetly off the M4 at Kinnegad Plaza, Dalton provides a state-of-the-art training facility. The site features a spacious, secure off-road training area ideal for mastering bike control, surrounded by varied road networks perfect for practical exercises. Students benefit from modern, well-maintained classrooms and a fleet of high-quality motorcycles, including 600cc models and smaller engines for beginners. All necessary protective gear, helmets, and intercom systems are provided, allowing students to focus entirely on learning without the initial investment in equipment.

Unmatched Student Satisfaction and Results

The feedback from students consistently points to high satisfaction levels, with many praising the "above and beyond" service provided by the team. The emphasis on safety, combined with a fun and engaging learning atmosphere, results in students who not only pass their tests but leave as competent, confident, and safe riders.

Fantastic experience: I’m still BUZZING is an understatement!…. what an incredible life goal experience to first time ride a motorcycle and the pleasure to complete my IBT course with the amazing, Dalton Motorcycle Training. Nestled discretely behind kinnegad Plaza just off the M4, Dalton Motorcycle Training have a fully kitted out, professional motorcycle training facility to get you rolling on two wheels! After hearing back countless recommendations and reading endless 5 star reviews, it was the clear and obvious choice to me to choose Dalton Motorcycle Training to complete my IBT course and get first time riding experience on a motorcycle. The IBT course with Dalton Motorcycle Training consisted of important but very interesting and informative classes in a comfortable modern conference room followed by an introduction to the motorcycles. After the in depth class room tutorials and meeting your motorcycle on the track, you are given plenty of training and time to getting to grips with your motorcycle with hands and feet on riding experience…very exciting! All the training and practice sessions are conducted on the dedicated professional laid out onsite track and training facility and once comfortable and your instructor sees you fit and ready, you will be brought out on to the nations roads where you will experience all the glory of riding a motorcycle in a public place. All of the above is delivered and you are accompanied by trained professional instructors all the time with buckets loads of knowledge with your safety always primary on their mind. I’d like to say a special thanks to Eric Dalton and all his team which all connect like a close knit family for taking me under their wing, where from the outset I felt welcomed and in safe trusting hands. Eric was able to give me guidance, encouragement, valuable information and techniques that are priceless and will safeguard me going out onto the road. As we were divided and spilt off into smaller groups to be brought on the open road, I was assigned Peter as my personal instructor to guide me through the stages and paces. Peter accompanied me through every dip, bend and junction along the way and he comes with a wealth of knowledge and patience for beginner riders!!! This gentleman put my mind at ease with any nervous situations that crossed my path and helped me overcome these by reassurance and championed me on through my motorcycle riding journey. I can’t express enough gratitude for the support and professionalism of Eric Dalton and all the crew at Dalton Motorcycle Training, each and every one of you all deserve credit and acknowledgment for the incredible dedication to the work you do and for sharing your passion, enthusiasm and experience with all us new riders! Thank you so much again, Jim
