Fantastic experience: Very experienced, very patient, very clear English, passionate to teach everything he knows, someone you should definitely get to know. The fact that he is also a musician was invaluable for me. I am very happy to know him.

Fantastic experience: I just completed the IBT course with Andy and I can't recommend him enough. The course is very well laid out, consisting in three days of training, first day theory and the other two days you're being trained 1 on 1 to drive the motorcycle at low speed in the parking lot and on the road at higher speed meeting every day traffic. Andy's number one priority is being safe but nonetheless he made sure you enjoy the process. I'm very happy that I choose this course, if I could give six stars I would.

Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend Skills Motorcycle Academy to anyone looking for an IBT course or an advanced riding course! I've just completed my IBT with Andy and it was a great experience! Even though I had previous riding experience I really benefited from the 3-day format in which the course is structured. It was also great to ride on the 2024 Harley Nightster 975 and the Triumph Speed 400 :) Day 1 (the theory day) is a good reminder of how to ride safely and also a great opportunity to buy some gear if you're missing any. The lesson takes place on a mezzanine of the HD store, which creates a casual and bike-focused atmosphere. There is absolutely zero pressure to buy anything, but since the gear is there, Andy explains different types of safety gear by showing you actual examples at the store, which is great. Day two is mostly compound, with some road riding if you're confident enough. Again, even though I had a few years of prior riding experience, I was rusty around the cones at first, so this was great practice. Day 3 is spent primarily on the road, with a bit of instruction before and in-between the riding. During day 2 and 3 you're 1:1 with the instructor who speaks to you over a one-way radio. This means the lessons are 100% tailored to your level and the difficulty progresses as your skills improve. I can't recommend Any enough!
