MTS Rider Training proudly serves Newton Abbot and surrounding areas with expert training courses
View All CoursesMTS Rider Training is a DVSA-approved motorcycle training school operating from two Devon sites — Westpoint, Exeter and Okehampton. Whether you are taking your very first ride on a CBT, working towards an A1, A2 or full unrestricted licence, or going the Direct Access route, our experienced instructors take you through every stage at a pace that suits you. We are proud to train on one of the largest off-road practice pads in the South West, backed by our own 3km practice road network — so you build real confidence away from traffic before heading out on the road. With a maximum 2:1 instructor-to-rider ratio on all practical training, you get genuine personal attention, not a crowded class.
