Jools.

Did my CBT test yesterday. The entire day was a lovely experience. Tim is a great instructor who explains things in great detail so you understand. It was my first time riding a geared motorcycle and by the end of the day, i myself was road worthy. 10/10 recommend anyone looking to get their CBT done to go through CamRider.

Can’t thank everyone I’ve spoken to and met at CAMRider for the help and training to get me through my mod 1 and mod 2 tests first time! From speaking to Jo over the phone who is very organised and knows exactly what’s going on and when to book sessions etc. To Duncan and mainly Pete who had me for most of my sessions, guiding and training me to get through first time! The experience and knowledge definitely shows! Every session was met with smiling faces and a will to teach! Hope to see you out on the road soon!

Could not recommend Camrider Harlow enough! I’ve just passed my Mod 1 and Mod 2, both first time and I am so grateful to Camrider. From Joanna in the office that managed to accommodate my lessons on days that suited me, to Duncan, Pete and Tim who instructed my lessons. They all made it very enjoyable whilst passing on their experience, knowledge and passion! They explained everything in detail, all with patience, and teach you how to ride safely, not how to just pass the test. The bike I learnt on was also good quality and easy to handle. Highly recommend. It’s been great to learn with Camrider, thank you guys!

Great School. They don’t just teach you how to pass but at the same try to teach you how to be a better biker. And with all the riding stories you better get ready for the great pleasure the riding. All of the instructors are very down to earth and smart people. With they help I have passed full bike licence with ease from knowing nothing about bikes to passing MOD2 Will be coming back to do the advanced course for sure. Great job.
