Stay Upright Rider Training Botany

I recently attended the 2 day learner training at Botany. Morgan was an amazing trainer who wanted us all to succeed in passing the course. Besides being a lot of fun, I learnt a lot of the on road basics and gained confidence. Since then, I have passed the driver knowledge test at SNSW and have purchased a Honda Forza 350 (pending arrival). Couldn't be more excited to ride! I'm considering booking in for more training with Stay Upright once it arrives to further my knowledge and confidence. I highly recommend Stay Upright if you're looking to get your motorcycle licence.

The learner course at Stay Upright was informative and heaps of fun! All the staff are super friendly and helpful. Malcom (the instructor) had a very calm and casual demeanour while still getting the serious points across, which is exactly what new riders needed to put their minds at ease while still learning the importance of what is being taught. Such an awesome experience. I successfully received my L plates the next morning. I'll be booking in for the more advanced courses in due time and can only hope I will be taught by Malcom again.

Did my L's & P's test here. Malcom was my instructor for both & I cannot recommend him enough. He is a really nice guy and genuinely cares about your learning and safety. So glad I got him both times.

I did my Learner and now just finished my pre-provisional. They are very professionals and friendly.I did Learner with Paul, and he was great. I wasn’t confident with a scooter and he helped me out with that and the balance. He’s a great teacher.Today I did the course with Rich, and also he was really great. Good teacher, and specially very conscious with the danger out in the road, and he want’s to make sure you’re aware of them.Great place to get your license. Thank you !

I see Ted (the Aussie guy with a French name) come up a lot on these positive reviews. Sorry, not sorry, to perpetuate the broken record. Ted has a passion for bikes, riders, safety, teaching, and every other metric you’d want in a motorcycle instructor. Does not rush or drag things on, just delivers his lessons as required by his students - everybody walks / rides out of his classes full bottle, and if it not, it’s because the student doesn’t have the right attitude towards riding. He seems like a laid back instructor but he is firm in the areas where he needs to be and that is towards safe riding practice - really authentic in wanting everyone making it home safely whilst having fun, which is what all riders want for other riders.The customer service on the phones are pretty good, but even they could learn a few things from Ted in that area too.People like Ted are knowledgeable, competent, likeable and approachable from the perspective of customers and co-workers alike.TLDR: hire more people like Ted, you should even consider having him coach other instructors on how to deliver riding courses, phones sales, or any other sort of customer facing area of your business.

Very friendly learning environment! instructors are very knowledgeable and patient. Ted was fantastic! I wish you could copy and paste him across all training sectors. Really appreciate his kind and positive teaching style. Would definitely recommend doing the motorcycle training courses they provide. You will learn and retain so much valuable knowledge.

Our instructor Jean Alexandre (Ted) was fantastic. He genuinely tries to help everyone to not only pass the test, but also to ride better, more confidently and more safely. He also makes the course fun. He tailors his teaching to the students in the class, rather than just giving generic information, and for me in particular, he really helped improve my cornering with just 5 minutes of instruction. If you can book a course with him, definitely do it!

Being an overseas rider, I was really scared to go for bike licence here in NSW.I just came across SU Botany just because it was near my place.Once attending there practice session and MOST I would recommend everyone to head there and especially look for Paul Willows as your instructor.Paul is a legend. Really nice, helpful, humble, funny, and dedicated instructor I've seen.Excellent experience!

Great place to learn riding bike. Our instructor was brilliant in his job. When learning becomes fun it is so easier to learn. Our teacher(Ted) enjoyed so much doing his job, he made my 2 days of training worth every single penny. Another note, in our group there was student who was new to riding, by the end of the course she was able to ride and enjoying riding. Our teacher was working on her riding skill and dealing with her anxiety. 5 Stars!!!!
