camrider Reviews 

My son arrived at 07:30 with evertything apart from his driving license. My wife was initially told that as long as she brought it back by 10:00 he would be able to continue. My wife got back and was told he was unable to continue. We have now been told we have to pay to rebook. What a joke. I rang to plea with Vicky and was given some speal about how they don't make money in the CBT's. I was very polite but she wasn't interested. I was told they're not for profit. I can tell you they aren't the cheapest provider, so I'm not sure how they aren't making any money. I definitely won't be rebooking with them. The joke is they do the training on their land so they could have let him start. We even sent them a photo of his license. Good old computer says no.

Never again!!!!

Vicky is very much - computer says no. What a whiny individual who clearly enjoys being awful to clients

They are the most awkward and unhelpful bunch of people.

I would never book with them again.

My son forgot his licence but said I could return with the licence. They lied and said we could bring the licence in by 10am and I turned up with his licence at 9.15am they still would not let him do this. Vicky did not listen to this and bleated in about how they make a loss if they allow a rebook. They are more expensive than most other providers as well so she has no idea about business or is a liar.

What an awful company. Avoid and actually use someone who is more human and kind

My CBT instructor was fine, but unfortunately I felt that the training I received for my Module 1 test with a different instructor did not fully meet my expectations with Camrider Peterborough .

My main concern was that I did not feel I received enough clear instruction or practice that directly reflected what I would experience at the actual test centre.

The practice course at the facility that has changed from the old site Camrider Peterborough is different from the Module 1 layout at the test centre, and some of the manoeuvres I was practising did not directly relate to the actual test. I appreciate that training schools have different facilities and ways of teaching, but personally I would have benefited from practising the actual Module 1 layout and having clearer instructions for each exercise.

After speaking to a number of other motorcycle training schools, I also learned that some schools offer additional preparation at the actual test centre before the test, while others have larger facilities where the Module 1 course is laid out similarly to the test centre. Some also use speed-checking equipment to help riders practise the avoidance and emergency-stop exercises at the required speeds.

I understand that every training school operates differently and that facilities vary, so this is not intended as an accusation against anyone. It is simply my experience and why I felt I was not as well prepared for my Module 1 as I expected to be. At the facility there is not enough space to practice due to its size. It is not laid out like a mod 1 test centre that most school I’ve personally phoned around to offer the practice circuit and you can practice a number of times.
My first day when starting my Mod 1 Camrider Peterborough was a full lock Motorcycle Rodeo experience manoeuvring within a very tight gap using balance . Even though I’ve been riding for 23 years ( mostly traveling across Asia for 3 years and back and forth to work in heavy traffic I also had my own business selling motorcycles I was the first motorcycle website in Asia selling large secondhand motorcycle . I’ve been also fixing scooters and bikes since I was 16 years old) I’ve personally never thought about using a bike in this manner. It was fun, but wasn’t necessary to learn, I think it is more for advanced riders. I personally am at the age where I just want to get on a bike and be professional and respectful on the roads, I’m not 20 anymore and I probably would have been more suited to someone with a more mature outlook on how a Mod 1 rider should be prepared,obviously following a syllabus. I had a break I love riding and I just want something to get me out and about and nothing intimidating anymore. After a bout of having cancer is the reason I stopped riding. I had saved for 10 years for this and the experience I had made me feel terrible. I even mentioned to other people being trained at the time “ I feel like I’m renting a motorcycle for the day and just following two people” I didn’t even go in front of the instructor once.

I would recommend anyone booking training to ask exactly what Module 1 practice is provided, whether the training layout matches the test centre, and what specific preparation is available for the individual test exercises.

If another rider has had concerns about the standard or safety of motorcycle training, they should raise those concerns through the appropriate official channels.

I completed CBT today with Camrider Ipswich. Staff were great. Enthusiastic, patient and provided clear communication. The theory and practical training was much more detailed than I'd expected and safety was the key theme. The facilities could do with an update, but did not detract from a fun and informative experience. Great online booking system makes for an easy route to riding. Don't follow sat navigation using the post code. It does not get you there. Instead look for the Inspire signs.

Everyone there was so nice. They really care about your safety.

They will take so much time to solve any problems if it's done by team members they team team members behave completely unprofessional

Had a great day completing my CBT with Mike at Camrider NDI. I was very nervous and found Mike to be very supportive and extremely knowledgeable! I'd highly recommend doing your CBT with these guys, can't fault the experience! Thank you so much, May :)

No great, I booked the complete course, CBT instructor was excellent, then every other instructor was a nice person, BUT, never really taught me anything! Never had same instructor twice,When I took my test I failed, and after examiner de briefings realised I was totally unprepared. Waste of money really, could another company now, like night & day difference.

My partner recently completed a CBT at Camrider's Ipswich centre and unfortunately the experience fell well below expectations.

Whilst the theory section was delivered adequately, the practical training appeared rushed. Due to poor weather, parts of the pad training were skipped before students were taken out on the road. My partner was the least experienced and least confident rider in the group, yet felt they were not given the additional support and instruction they required.

Particularly disappointing was hearing that an instructor made comments suggesting he no longer wanted to teach new riders and would rather conduct DAS and A2 training. Whether intended as a joke or not, this is not something nervous beginners should be hearing from their instructor.

The end result was a rider who came away feeling less confident than when they started and quite upset by the overall experience.

To make matters worse, I submitted a formal complaint to Camrider detailing these concerns and have not even received an acknowledgement.

For £225, I expected professional instruction, good communication, and a focus on building rider confidence. Sadly, that was not our experience.

From the get go this company impressed me. Dan is an absolute pleasure to deal with when booking in the training. He is extremely polite, patient and professional, as well knowing the subject inside out. Dan always has time, never rushes calls and gets things sorted without any fuss. I did my direct access at the Lea Valley site with Chris, what an absolute legend this guy is. He is straight down the line, sees exactly what needs working on and improving and knows how to teach. This is vital because he has a way of getting things to stick. Being trained by someone who actually has a personality makes learning a pleasure.

I did my CBT on 10/5/26 in Diss. I was petrified when I first arrived after having hardly any sleep stressing over it as i have a fear of roundabouts. After the 1st hour I was totally relaxed and had a brilliant day and was made feel totally at ease when out on the road.The instructor Steve was absolutely brilliant and has a wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend Camrider in Diss especially if you're a tad nervous.

After hearing glowing recommendations from friends and seeing consistently excellent reviews, I decided to start my motorcycle training with Camrider Sawston on the 6th of February. I’m happy to say I passed my MOD1 on the first attempt and, as of today, passed my MOD2 first time as well.

Before signing up I visited the site, and Vicky at reception immediately made a great impression. She was extremely friendly, welcoming, and patiently answered all of my questions, which really helped me feel confident about choosing Camrider.

In terms of value for money, Camrider is slightly more expensive per training hour compared to some other providers in the area. However, having completed the course, I can honestly say it was worth every penny. The quality of instruction is outstanding. I trained with both Aaron and Matt, mostly with Matt, and both are incredibly talented, patient, and dedicated instructors. They clearly hold students to the same high standards. Personally I preferred Matt’s teaching style, but that’s purely down to individual preference as both instructors are excellent.

The overall atmosphere is fantastic. The team creates a friendly, supportive, almost family-like environment while maintaining a high level of professionalism.

The training facilities are very good. Slow manoeuvres are practised on site, while the faster MOD1 manoeuvres take place off site on a private road. One thing to note is that students don’t practise on a full regulation-sized MOD1 course until the day of the test itself. For me personally this didn’t make any difference at all to my ability to execute the manoeuvres.

There was one occasion where the service could have been slightly better, when a training session had to be cancelled last minute due to instructor sickness. Ideally I would have appreciated earlier notice, although I understand the team may have been trying to arrange alternatives at the time. Interestingly, many of my later sessions ended up being one-to-one with Matt, which actually contributed significantly to my progress and learning.

One area where Camrider could improve would be diversity within the instructor team. Currently it feels somewhat stereotypical with one woman handling administrative duties while all instructors are male. It would be great to see efforts made to recruit a female instructor and promote more diversity within the training staff.

Overall, I genuinely really enjoyed my experience with Camrider. Every member of staff I interacted with was friendly and professional. A sincere thank you to Matt, followed by Aaron, for helping me through my learning journey. Their training clearly paid off and was reflected in my MOD2 evaluation today.

I would highly recommend Camrider to anyone looking to learn to ride.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience doing my DAS with Camrider Bedford. The team was so friendly and supportive, and they made me feel comfortable from the start. I learned so much in a short time and actually enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for helping me pass!
Highly recommended!

Camrider peterborough and my tutors made me feel a part of the family. They guided me from CBT to DAS part 1 pass and part 2 pass in very little time.
I would recommend them over and over again.
Great knowledge base and willing to share that skill with you to keep you safe and have fun.
From the novice to the pass CAT A license thanks camrider

I passed my mod 2 on Friday

Done my cbt both the trainers where brilliant really informative great experience. Strongly recommended

Fantastic experience from my CBT all the way to A licence. Ben was great teaching the CBT, very thorough and in good preparation for further training. Adrian took me through my mod 1 &2 and I couldnt have asked for better. Everyone was a pleasure from start to finish, including the boss Jim, to Steve one of the other instructors for his tips and encouragment. Would highly recommend. You wont get better . Tony

Just passed my Direct Access with Camrider Norwich and I’ve had a great experience. I think I met most of the instructors on different days and they were all fantastic. Their knowledge, patience and friendliness has been really appreciated. I really never thought in my late 50’s that I would become a biker but their support has helped me pass with no problems at all. Thankyou to all of you

Big thanks to Camrider for helping me and my mate pass the DAS course together, both Mod 1 and Mod 2 completed without any anxiety or nerves. The instructors were patient and made the whole process enjoyable.

Great training, clear feedback, and solid prep that got us both confidently on the road. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get their bike license sorted!

I did my CBT at camrider in Ipswich. I had john and Warren for the days training and I couldn't have been happier. Really nice guys and really put you at ease. I had a 1to1 ride on the road with john and I had such a laugh with him. Really great place to learn. Thanks again guys ❤️
