Fantastic experience: Charles is an absolute professional with regard to his approach to teaching all things motorbike. He is beyond generous in sharing his knowledge on the roadcraft required to have a great riding experience. Highly recommend Charles if you want a great learning experience.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience and highly recommended. The group size is much smaller than other nearby companies offer, and this allows for real one-to-one training with David and Charles. These guys have decades of experience and have so many helpful tips and tricks. The training centre was perfect and featured some hill areas for practising hill starts and for learning to control the brakes in slow tight downhill turns. They had an air conditioned office for doing the theory work, and they offered us plenty tea, coffee and water. Bikes were newer bikes and meticulously maintained.

Fantastic experience: Charles was a fantastic instructor. He’s very knowledgeable in regards to motorcycle riding and safe riding practices and is well equipped to train all skill levels

Fantastic experience: Charles is a great teacher, very practical and made the course fun. This was my first time on a motorcycle and he made sure it was easy! He explains everything that needs explaining to leave plenty of time for practical.

Fantastic experience: Charles is amazing. He helped with my confidence and his focus is on teaching you to ride and to ride safely. I am extremely grateful for the lessons I've learned, everyday riding tips he's shared and the professional yet comforting manner in which his courses and assessments are done. I highly recommend his services whether you are new to riding or want to hone your skills and abilities.

Fantastic experience: Thanks Charles for a very informative laid back experience! Completed my RE today and Charles’s knowledge and experience made me a better and safer rider. Thank you! I’ll 100% be sending more your way.

Fantastic experience: Absolute legend of an attitude with so much knowledge. I have been riding for a while now, but Charles showed me the rights and wrongs of being safe on the road.

Fantastic experience: Excellent instruction from Charles that has set me up nicely for being safe and confident on the road

Fantastic experience: Charles is knowledgeable, patient and transparent. He teaches you way more than what's needed for the pre-leaner course, and it makes you feel much more confident and you pick up indispensable skills IMO. They should be on the required training. Equipment is really good, bikes in good condition. Had an awesome time learning. Thanks Charles!

Fantastic experience: David was thorough and patient across all our abilities

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to have a good experience and want to learn proper motorcycle safety this is the place. Everything was explained perfectly and all the pressure was taken off because they only want to see you ride your best. Highly recommend!

Charles and David go the extra mile to make sure you feel confident and comfortable with every aspect of the bike. Really appreciate the time and patience they take and the methods they use to teach. thanks for a great weekend.

Fantastic experience: Great Facilitating by Charles. Patient and thorough in course. Smaller group made the participants very engaging. Did my Learners and RE with them. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Awesome training experience. After doing my pre-learner licence with another provider I was amazed what a difference the small training group made on my RE course. Charles was extremely knowledgeable and patient, always willing to let me keep practising until I had mastered a particular skill. The use of intercoms built into the helmets facilitating instant feedback is a game changer.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, great supervisors/trainers, very attentive. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Just converted my existing overseas motorcycle licence to Australian by completing the "unrestricted R Course" with Gold Coast Motorcycle Training. Charles runs a very efficient and professional training school, is a great communicator and explains every step very clearly. Large range of well maintained different bikes to suit everyone's tastes and also provide all the gear (jackets, helmets, gloves). Highly recommend GC Motorcycle Training regardless if you are a first time rider or experienced riders looking for targeted advanced training.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking at doing your QRIDE Pre learners course and don't have much experience with motorcycling look no further. Our instructor David was very experienced and knowledgeable in both theory and practical through decades of experience. The classes are a lot smaller compared to other providers meaning 1 on 1 assistance is always available if you are having issues with certain concepts of riding. Honestly cannot thank this business enough with providing me appreciation for safety and technique into motorcycling.

Fantastic experience: Did my L's with David at Q-ride. David was knowledgable, friendly and most importantly caring in his approach to make sure you understood and learnt to key skills you need to ride safely. In the two day's I completed the course not only did I pick up my competency I have gained an immense amount of confidence to ride a bike safely. Thank you David and the team here at Q-Ride; you have made the experience wonderful and fun.

Fantastic experience: I had previously had a really awful experience at another training place, so was full of dread and fear coming into my motorbike training. However, these guys put my fears to rest! They were so patient and understanding. They worked with small classes, in a beautiful location, and taught the material in a really intuitive, easy-going way, so I ended up really enjoying my experience, and feeling keen to learn more. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: The training the guys delivered was very professional and the instruction was great. I feel very comfortable that I was given the knowledge and skills to start my journey to a motorcycle license. Thanks Charles & David.

Fantastic experience: 100% recommend. I have had very little experience with bikes and manuals, only ever owning an auto car lisence. I usually feel incapable and out of my depth with anything involving a motor. For my first lesson, Charles immediately made me feel at ease. He was professional, patient and clear with instructions. He settled all nerves I had and encouraged me at all times. If you are looking for a professional and down to earth mentor, look no further. Thank you so much Charles, thuroughly looking forward to the next session !

Fantastic experience: Excellent training. Did my r license with one other guy, so Charles was really able to provide that detailed one on one training. Highly recommended him.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. I did both the pre learners and RE and felt I was in safe hands. Charles and David are great instructors and teach you much more than the basics required which I found very reassuring. There were small groups on both occasions which allowed for a more thorough and enjoyable learning experience

Fantastic experience: Great experience, I took the returning rider course, Charles is a great teacher. I didn’t realise how much I would learn. The one on one training is a great way to learn. The constant communication through intercom made it a quick and efficient way to receive instruction/feedback. I was quite nervous at first but Charles’s method teaches you in a way that get you to start doing the important techniques naturally. I will definitely be back in a few months before I start touring! A+++

Fantastic experience: Charles really does a very good job of getting you to understand the safe operation of a motor cycle he prides himself on a quality service and really cares about his students, he only runs small classes which means he can ensure you are not left behind. Dave and Charles are very friendly and very professional. Thank you Charles really love your work

Fantastic experience: AWESOME. Instructors were fantastic. On day 1 we had 1:1 Instruction on day 2 it was 2:1. Very small class sizes. Really enjoy the 2 days. Great Instructors and made everything really clear. High Recommend.

Fantastic experience: Wow.. I have gone from no experience to license in only 1 week of riding! Sure stuffed up on the course a few times but he made me practice over and over again while all the other students sat down until I got it right! Just sold my Honda cb125 and upgraded to a Kawasaki ninja 650 Wow. This guy teaches you confidence by practice!

Fantastic experience: Excellent training and value for money. We were taught way above the course criteria and always felt safe and confident. So stoked and highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great environment to learn in with super informative training

Fantastic experience: I was looking forward to getting my bike licence but was also nervous to start with. After some training on site we headed out on the road and Charles made me feel comfortable and confidant. Thanks to Charles and his team I am now off to purchase my new bike where he also gave me some very good advice.

Fantastic experience: Well written and executed course material delivered by a highly experienced rider. Real-world training scenarios with an emphasis on safety and developing fundamental motor skills designed to keep you safe and ready for possible challenges on the road.

I left with not only my motorcycle licence but a feeling of confidence on the road. Thanks again Charlie.

Fantastic experience: After always wanting to ride a Motorbike I finally took the plunge and bought one.... The only problem was I had no idea how to even get it out of first gear..... Looked up the closest riding school to me and up came Gold Coast motorcycle training... What a great guy to be shown the ropes of bike riding... Very happy that it isn't a 'tick and flick' training school with 10 other riders trying to learn... Charles has the knowledge and experience to keep you SAFE on the road... Totally stoked..... cruising around on my new ride with total confidence.. Cheers Charles... you're a legend...!!!

Fantastic experience: I did an advanced riding course with Charles, and it was excellent. It sharpened up my riding skills, and learnt some very valuable techniques that I did not realise I needed. Thanks again Charles, I really appreciate your teaching style and knowledge, and I am a much better rider because of you.

Fantastic experience: Great trainer, facilty and bikes. Thanks Charles!

Fantastic experience: Charles at GCMT is an amazing instructor who can provide great training and very individualised mentoring if needed for all stages of riders as his professional riding background is extensive. His bikes provided are in great condition and very easy to learn on, as well as the riding equipment equally good with bluetooth helments to fix errors whilst on the road test. All round great expereince, much apprecited Charles

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Charles , from the first meeting with him, his only concern was my safety and knowledge of my riding experience. Then he was able to accurately assess my ability, to make the best decision for my training. Each and every training session was thoroughly supervised, and at all times his teaching was patient. What was expected from me, was first demonstrated by Charles then thoroughly explained to me. I would totally recommend, Charles Van Den Bosch.

Fantastic experience: Charles was fantastic in teaching me how to ride a motorbike for the first time. Because of the small class sizes Charles was flawlessly attentive and answered all questions (even the dumb ones). Importantly he was able to make it fun, have a joke around (which makes you feel much more comfortable). Goes above and beyond to not only just check the boxes but make sure you are developing the right skills, habits and understanding to set you up properly.

Fantastic experience: Bloody awesome! Best teaching methods that really help you develop as a rider. I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Charles was a great instructor and made learning easy. He is polite, friendly, knowledgeable and never showed frustration while I had to repeat some tasks over and over until they were up to his standard. The Bluetooth headsets made the one on one experience that much more personal and allowed me to correct bad habits as they were happening on the road, which also meant I could focus on one thing at a time rather than a large list of feedback after a long ride.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience GCMT! Charles really know his stuff and is a great teacher. It’s a great training location with amazing roads close by to hone your skills.

Fantastic experience: FANTASTIC TRAINING ! The problem is in Australia the system only teaches you how to get a licence not how to ride. Charles costs a few dollars more but you will receive the training thats required to ride a motor bike safely on the roads. You receive much more than any normal training centre and Im thankful that someone is teaching people how to ride. Great job Charles and I will surely do the advanced course with you. Scott

Fantastic experience: An excellent learning experience, Charles provided a thorough and personal approach to ensure the RE Training offered by Gold Coast Motorcycle Training was most enjoyable and informative from both a practical and theoretical perspective. I highly recommend Charles as a trainer.

Fantastic experience: Great training facility and great trainer. Great range of bikes. Would definitely recommend Charles as the Gold Coast motor cycle trainer of choice. Thumbs up!

Fantastic experience: Excellent training, I feel much more comfortable on the road and understand the fundaments of the bike and road. I can highly recommend Charles as a trainer.

Fantastic experience: I hadn’t ridden in 20 years and was looking to buy a bike but lacked confidence in my riding ability. Charles provided me with the information and skills that I needed to make my decision to purchase a bike. Charles delivered a totally professional refresher course in a relaxed manner. Charles is patient and encouraging while ensuring that you master each skill or technique before moving on. I would highly recommend Charles to anyone who hasn’t been on a bike in a while and would like to gain some confidence before venturing out into the traffic or back roads.

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Charles for great enjoyable experience while get my bike licence, the whole process was so easy with Charles tailoring the course to suit my ability.

Fantastic experience: I hadn't been on a bike for 20 or so years, although nervous Charles with his patients and experience made my lessons enjoyable and safe , I highly recommend him, I will be going back for more of his motorcycle knowledge.

Fantastic experience: Has to the best trainer on the coast, gained more confidence in four hours with Charles than 2 months riding with others.

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed the course! And would recommend it to anyone looking into getting their license. Charles was super helpful and knowledgeable making it that much more enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: Will definitely be going back for more lessons.

Fantastic experience: Amazing one on one training, Charles explains everything in such a simple way that is easy to understand. When doing my RE course there was Bluetooth in the helmets so I could talk to Charles while on the road which was great! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Finished my licence with Charles last week and couldn't recommend him higher. Charles' knowledge and experience far exceeds anyone else I have met. With one on one training or with two people you have his full attention from start to finish and after, as he helps correct any issues you have with his eye for detail he couldn't be happier to assist. If your considering getting a bike licence or need a refresher Charles is the best value for money in my opinion..

Fantastic experience: Charles came highly recommended for one-one-one training. Although I was initially nervous, he read me like a book and immediately put my mind at ease. Charles is incredibly patient and non-judgemental which was reassuring for someone who had next-to-zero motorcycle riding experience. I have just completed my RE training and am looking forward to continuing my instruction, from Charles, to advance my licence. Charles is the only person I would trust to teach me how to safely, and confidently, ride a motorcycle.
