Student Testimonials

I would like to (belatedly) say Thankyou to all of the guys that helped me to get my license. Although I was going to give it away at one stage, your support and encouragement helped me to get my license, and I have been enjoying my riding very much since I passed. Your school and your instructors are an example of how a training organisation should be run. Your commitment to safety, both rider and fellow road user, is excellent. I would thoroughly recommend Alert to anyone who is considering taking up motorcycling, or anyone who wants to improve their skills. Again, a sincere thankyou to all of my instructors.

Hi All, Just a quick note to say thank you to those that helped me getting my RE licence. John, Glen, Graeme and Dave all helped out. John was my instructor for my first lesson and through efforts I got going and decided I’ll go for a license. John was also there the first time out on the road. John somehow always gave you the confidence to go to the next step. I did most of my lessons with glen and he helped me go from the death grip of doom on the handle bars to being more relaxed. Graeme drew the short straw which meant he got me the lesson before the test. For whatever reason I was pretty nervous to start with yet Graeme managed to help me stay calm. A big thanks to all of you. My experience with Alert has been excellent. I found every trainer to be passionate about motorcycle ridding and teaching. This makes for the very professional approach to teaching and learning. All my lessons were enjoyable and included the odd laugh. None The safety of myself, and the instructors, was always on your minds from the very first time I hoped on the bike for the first time to after I passed the test. It’s this dedication to safe riding principals that makes Alert so good. I will be back in 12 months to go for the R class. Thanks again, couldn’t of got this far without you,

Hi Dave Just a quick email to say thank you for the fantastic lessons I received mainly from Glen (he was great) but also Dave and Tristan. Although I didn't pass my test, I believe that this was more due to my mental and nervous state (lol ha ha) than from my riding ability. I am confident that I have learnt all the necessary skills from alert motorcycle school to pass the test which I have every intention of resitting in the not to distant future. Please pass on my thanks to the above guys for all they have taught me. Regards

Hi guys, I just got my R-E licence today and would just like to say a big thank you to David, Dave, Tristan and Graeme for the great motorcycle lessons. You guys have so much patience and are almost as cool as that Ducati I seen last week. I'll be back next year for my R licence for sure.

"Hello David and Instructors, Last year I came to Alert to obtain my R-E licence after having Alert recommended to me by many other riders. I was successful in obtaining my licence and can definitely say it was because of Alert's tuition. I had tuition with Glenn, Tristan and Dave and passed my R-E test, the assessor wrote "Great pass" on my test sheet and I did not lose any points. When it was time to go for my "R" license I contacted Alert, had one lesson with Graham and was advised I did not need anymore. I was well prepared to pay for 3-4 lessons and you could have suggested I do that even though I didn't need it, but you didn't. I successfully obtained my "R" licence and the assessor wrote that I was "a pleasure to follow". I have recommended 8 people to Alert, so far 5 have had their tests and passed, the remaining three all have their tests this month (and all on the same day!). I will continue to recommend Alert and wish you all the best for your future."

"Dear David, I have just finished my training and got my license on my first go. I want to thank all my instructors Dave, Graham and John for their absolute dedication and patience. I was very nervous before my test and Graham calmed me down and made me feel confident about the test. Also I would like to thank John (supercop) for teaching me life and survival techs. Once again I want to thank you all I will be back to do my open class!!!! Kind regards."

- Paul, 11/03/2008

"Hi All: Many thanks for your professionalism and patience, in teaching me to successfully test for an RE licence. Very best regards."

- Wayne, 8/02/2008

"David and the gang at Alert, A quick note to say thank you in helping pass the RE license last week, but more importantly more teaching me be an alert and safe rider. My thanks go to John and Dave with whom I had most of my lessons. Their passion, professionalism, patience and a no-compromise attitude to safe riding is exemplary. As a father of two teenagers who might be thinking in following in their father's footsteps, I will ensure that they will get their lessons with Alert Motorcycle School. Once again thanks and look forward to some more lessons for my open license. Cheers."

- Armand, 20/01/2008

"David, Many thanks again to you, Tristan and John for sharing your knowledge and all the good advice. Frustrated (frustrating?!) as I was at times (with myself!), I had loads of fun learning to ride and am rapt to finally have my licence!"

"Hi David and everyone at Alert Motorcycle School Maylands. I would like to thank all staff at Alert Motorcycle School Maylands for your professionalism and friendliness during my time with you to obtain my R-E licence. From the moment I walked through the door, I knew I was in excellent hands and felt comfortable. I had met John Moylan previously on a work related vehicle driver training and 4WD courses and knew of his excellent background and knowledge. A very nice surprise on Day 1! Most of my lessons were with John and he can impart his wealth of knowledge in an enjoyable and non-threatening way. Even having a laugh as well at times! John is a true professional and an asset to your organisation with his excellent background and teaching skills. The skills I have learnt will be most valuable in the future for safe riding and will not be forgotten. Thanks you heaps John! Thanks also to Tristan for taking me on some enjoyable lessons as well and to see me pass my test. You are also an asset to the organisation and your style also made me feel relaxed and also confident in my riding ability. Thanks also to all the other staff as the environment at Alert was very comfortable indeed! I would highly recommend Alert Motorcycle School to anyone else wishing to obtain their motorcycle licence and more importantly learn the life skills and knowledge from very experienced and friendly instructors. I hope to be back soon to take part in your Basic Motorcycle Maintenance course and Advanced Roadcraft Day course. Now all I have to do is find myself a bike! Thank you all."

"David and the Team, Guys - just wanted to say thanks for getting me up to speed for the RE licence test which I passed on wed. Tristan, John, Dave and David - many thanks, you all made learning to ride a motorbike an informative but fun experience. Cheers, and you never know I might get a taste for something bigger in the next 12 months. Regards"

- Neil, 2/06/2007

"David, Just a quick note to say thank you at Alert for teaching me how to ride. From the moment I walked into your premises I knew that I had picked the right place to learn. I had lessons with John, Dave, and one lesson with you...and was very comfortable with all of the instructors. Dave, in particular, was extremely patient and managed to settle me down on the day of the test (when I started off doing everything wrong...including mounting the curb on my figure). If I don't find a bike soon I may have to start taking lessons again to get my weekly fix! Perhaps the Advance Roadcraft Course may be the way to go!! Anyway, thanks again...and I wish your great success"

- Piero, 8/06/2005

"Dear David and Stuart, Just wanted to let you know I got my R class licence yesterday (first try!) and to thank you both for your time, great instruction and patience! hope to get down to Perth to do some skills courses. Thanks again!"

- Ingrid of Kalgoorlie 15/02/2005

"Hi David, I am extremely grateful for all I learnt. I was most impressed with John's ability to impart his knowledge and skills including his capacity to communicate with the group as a whole as well as giving individual attention to each rider. I think you, John and Dave (Ossie) provide a terrific service to the motorcycle and I highly recommend that all motorcycle riders should attend your courses to learn correct and safe riding skills. Thanks for making me a safer rider Kindest regards"

"Please thank Dave Wray for his encouragement, and patience during the time I spent trying to master this new venture. He is a great teacher and a credit to"

- Pauline, April 2005

"I thought the course last Sunday was excellent, very intensive and lots of feedback. I thought three were excellent riders and so was the instruction. It was very good value for money especially having one instructor to 3 riders. I did a Roadcraft course at Wanneroo racetrack a few years which cost over $200 and there was about 1 instructor per 10 riders. A friend saidthey did a similar roadcraft course to yours recently, they had one instructor per 12 riders and had to wait ages along the road while one rider at a time did cornering with the instructor behind."

- Denise, Feb 2005

"Dear David, I would like to thank Alert Motorcycle for the instruction and care I received over the couple of years ... Thanks especially my riding instructor John . John is the very epitome of confidence, control, and care, a true professional (no.1). John was very patient with me as he is with all his students, He got me through my restricted License and Unrestricted a year or so later. I really value the instruction I received ... so different to another school nearer to me tried , It's instruction was very poor ... The skills John hammered into me in the beginning have stayed with all this time, and have saved my bacon several times. So thanks Alert Motorcycleschool....you really are the very best Crew around and I look forward to ongoing training in the not to distant future. I would never hesitate to highly recommend your school to anyone needing all levels of motorcycle training...Yours Sincerely"

- Dave Brown, 18/05/2005

"Dear David, a short note to say thank you for your expert lessons allowing to get my motorcycle license in quick time. Your lessons are of a very high standard, your methods are thorough and your patience is a great skill.

I wish you great success and will recommend your fine school at every opportunity"

- Lisa-Anne

"I thought I would write to let you know how impressed I was with the quality of instructors and staff at ALERT Motorcycle School. From the first contact with you over the phone I was impressed by manner and explanation in relation to questions I had. My decision to choose to train with you was primarily due to your professional and friendly attitude. I found the instructors to be very professional and obviously experienced motor cyclist who were able to communicate well and pass their knowledge and experience across to the student without criticizing or dissuading me. I believe all your staff are a credit to your company. Even the staff I did not know but who saw in your office between lessons were friendly, they always acknowledged me, often making conversation on general matters. I thought I would make you aware of my appreciation and give you acknowledgement of a commendable service well provided by your company."
