.1st Castle

Welcome to 1st Castle, school of motoring & motorcycle training based in Hampshire.

1st Castle has been running in the Portsmouth area since 1972 and is one of the most established driver and rider training schools in the area.

1st Castle is a family run business, owned by Jon and Maggie Hawkes; they are also both fully qualified DAS Instructors with the DSA and do a lot of the training within the motorcycle side so you will always receive that personal service you get from a company that is committed to caring about its customers.

The offices for 1st Castle are on Cosham High Street and our training covers all areas in and around Portsmouth. We are associated with Portsmouth Motorcycles (local Honda main dealer) and our off road training site is based there with access to full facilities.
