Tony Agnew IBT Motorcycle Training: Reviews

4.9/5 (42 Reviews)
Jerin Varghese 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I chose to take my IBT with Tony based on positive reviews and my initial interactions, and it was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I’ve made. With 20 years of riding experience across two countries, I initially signed up for the IBT simply to meet legal requirements. However, I quickly realized it was an invaluable opportunity to unlearn bad habits and adopt techniques that enhanced my riding skills and safety. Tony’s passion for motorcycles is evident in his teaching. He helps you connect with your bike on a deeper level, enabling better control and confidence. The teaching facility is the largest in Dublin, and Tony's patient, unhurried approach creates a supportive learning environment. His classes truly elevate your abilities as a rider. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for IBT or even as a refresher to improve their riding skills.

Wyrm Limion 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had the great pleasure of learning from Tony this weekend to pass my IBT in the A1 Category. Tony is a patient and fun guy who will guide you through the entire experience as simply and safely as possible. He is also very patient on the road and guides you through everything you need and keeps you on the right path. I highly recommend Tony for gaining your IBT!

Ronan O'Gara 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Completed my IBT with Tony & Martin and the training was excellent. I had an issue with my own bike a few days before my Driving Test and Tony went above & beyond to source me a bike and connected me with another IBT trainer that had one available. Top class, highly recommended

Aaron O'Rahilly 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to complete your ibt. When from never being on a bike to feeling confident on the road. Tony and Martin were very thorough and patient with each progressive step. They clearly care about teaching each student properly. They didn't force anyone to do anything they weren't comfortable with. No better place to complete your IBT. Would highly recommend.

Jordan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I did my IBT with Tony & Martin who were both brilliant. I never rode a motorcycle before so I wasn't great, but Tony was very patient and kept working with me until had polished some of the issues I was having prior to heading out on the road. I'd definitely recommend doing your IBT or lessons with these guys, they're brilliant and have a lot of patience.

Nicholas Hynes 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best place to do your IBT. Tony is a truly gifted trainer who brings a perfect mix of patience, enthusiasm, and fun to the learning experience. Over two days Tony and Martin took students from being complete beginners and turned them into capable and confident riders on the roads of Dublin. I called a number of schools and trainers before deciding which to choose and I'm delighted I chose Tony's school in the end - I'm confident you'll feel the same way too.

Fantastic experience: Just finished my IBT with Tony and Martin this weekend. They are incredibly talented in what they do and know how to pass their knowledge forward quite easily. You have access to a nice range of bikes, and during all time you’re encouraged to ask questions. The car park where the training happens is large and allows you to practice everything you need for the test. Highly recommended for those who want to start or get back to riding.

Kevin Mcallister 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great weekend reacquainting myself with a large motorbike after being off them for 13 years. There was a mix of experience for those of us on the course on Saturday morning, Tony and the team were fantastic at identifying the level and potential progression of each rider and tailoring the training to each persons individual needs. The compound where the training takes place is perfect to really get acquainted with the machines without the added stress of being on a public road, giving confidence to all involved so that you can eventually go out on the road and feel confident in your abilities. Highly recommended for experienced and non experienced riders alike!

Fantastic experience: Tony is a fantastic motorcycle instructor! He is patient, knowledgeable, and makes learning fun. I was nervous about taking the IBT, but Tony made me feel at ease right away. He broke down the skills into manageable steps and gave me clear and concise instructions, which helped me get on the road in 2 days!! Tony is also very encouraging and supportive. He always believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself and helped me to overcome my fears and achieve my goals Lastly, his passion for motorbiking is evident. He also gave me advice on motorbikes and gear after the course, which went above and beyond what I had signed up for in the IBT course. I would highly recommend Tony to anyone who is thinking about taking the IBT. He is the best instructor you could ask for!

And just two days with him and I'm on the road I can't recommend him enough or thank him enough for what he has thought me if your looking for anybody to teach you give this man a call or email or text you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Tony was absolutely fantastic. I was very nervous but Tony took the time to work on the things that were holding me back and gave me the confidence to get out on the road. I did the IBTs over 2 days, they were really well paced and so fun the whole way through. I would highly recommend Tony, he has a wealth of experience behind him and wonderful teaching abilities. Thanks again, Tony!

Alex Curtis 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Completed my IBT with Tony. The whole experience was great. Was greeted with a warm welcome and got straight into it. Tony has a very good way of making the training content relatable and you know he has spent years riding and teaching. Couple this with a very friendly teaching style he takes everyone at a pace they are comfortable with. Following the test Tony put me on to people in the industry whom has also been extremely helpful. I am so glad I did my research into whom to go with for the IBT. You couldn't be in better hands with Tony and I can't recommend enough. He even followed up afterwards and helped me with getting a bike of my own. He's genuinely interested in getting people into bike riding and doing it safely. Keep up the good work Tony and thanks for everything.

Fantastic experience: Very Good and Strongly Recommend. I went for the A-Cat IBT, had a great experience, learning lots over the 2 days.Tony is a very good teacher, passionate, clear in his explanations, expectations and direct when he needs to be. Gear and bike were also in good condition. Also very big on safety which is the most important. Received lots of tips on insurance, buying gear and second-hand bike. Don't shop around, just go with Tony.

Negative experience: Was pretty unhappy with my experience here, organised a training day which was cancelled last minute by Tony without explanation, and although he said he would reschedule I never heard from him again.

Tony Agnew IBT Motorcycle Training
Tony Agnew IBT Motorcycle Training

Regrettably your short lesson ended up being on the same day as the Pope's visit and traffic restrictions created access issues we hadn't foreseen. We have several riders going for there test this week so we had to prioritize those and we can only apologise for not being able to reschedule fast enough for you.

Fantastic experience: Tony is a skilled teacher & makes the whole process an incredibly fun experience. Still smiling! Don’t hesitate just book! And 6 years later I’m adding this… Did the IBT course with Tony. I simply can not recommend him enough. Safety is the priority- which really built my trust and confidence. It was also so much fun & I’m sorry it’s over! Tony is so professional, a master craftsman at teaching and catering to all learning styles. Great choice of bikes too. If you’re deciding between motorbike schools- look no further - you’ve found the right place.
