Established 11 years ago after working as an instructor for other companies and not being happy with the way the industry presented itself - the dirty shoddy bikes, vests and helmets, the corner cutting on maintenance, the way some of the instructors presented themselves and treated their customers. RiverView changed all that and for over a decade we have been at the forefront of the rider training industry, putting more people through their test first time than any other trainer in the North West. Beginning with just the one instructor, developing the size and reputation of the company, then expanding into Bolton in 2004, we must be rated as one of the most successful training companies in the country. This has only been achieved by having the best possible staff who are prepared to go that extra mile in order to get you through your test, safely and happily. We try VERY hard at RiverView to ensure that not only do you pass your test but that you are well prepared to pick up your bike and ride SAFELY thereafter. We offer training from CBT level through to Advanced and Instructor Training. We have specially designed CBT training areas at Hesketh Bank and Bolton (not school yards or Car Parks) and can conduct CBT’s and Ministry test training 7 days a week.
