# XS Rider Training School
XS Rider Training School is an officially approved motorcycle training provider based in Castleford, West Yorkshire, specialising in CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) and advanced rider development. Operating since 1979, this family-run business brings over 40 years of expertise to motorcycle education.
The school serves a diverse clientele ranging from complete novices seeking their first motorcycle experience to experienced riders pursuing advanced skills enhancement. They cater to those returning to biking after extended breaks, as well as riders preparing for practical tests or seeking Direct Access qualifications.
What distinguishes XS Rider Training is their commitment to personalised development grounded in safety and competence. Their standout policy—offering a free second day if riders need additional time to complete CBT training—demonstrates genuine care for student progression rather than rushing through assessments. This approach reflects their family-run ethos and focus on building confident, skilled riders.
Their comprehensive course portfolio addresses every stage of rider development: foundational CBT, test preparation, practical examination modules, accelerated and Direct Access training, comeback programmes for returning riders, and advanced motorcycling skills. This breadth allows riders to progress systematically from initial training through to expert-level capability within a single trusted provider.
The school's four-decade track record, combined with their emphasis on individual progression and safety-first philosophy, positions them as a reliable choice for serious motorcycle education in the region.
