Our Motorcycle Training Services
I recently completed my motorcycle driving lessons at Camrider Cambridge, and I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of instruction and overall experience. Special thanks to Arron for being so patient with me and giving me the confidence that I needed to pass the MOD 2.
My overall experience with Camrider Cambridge was outstanding. The combination of expert instruction, comprehensive lessons, and a focus on safety made learning to ride a motorcycle an enjoyable and rewarding experience. I highly recommend Camrider Cambridge to anyone looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle or improve their riding skills. Thanks Guys!

My experience with Cambridge was largely positive with minor issues during the CBT.
I spent the bulk of my time with Camrider on their DAS course. I found my instructor, Matt, to be always friendly, approachable and professional – he offered encouragement, positive reinforcement and constructive criticism exactly when I needed them, and did a fantastic job of identifying what we needed to work on for the test proper. I wasn’t instructed by Aaron, but he did take me out for my final Mod 2 and he did a great job bolstering my morale before the test proper.
The only poor aspects of my time with Camrider was on the CBT. Overall, the format of the course was fine, but I found that the attitude of the instructor, Mark (who has since retired), was unhelpful. I attended three CBT sessions with Mark, and while he started chummy enough, as sessions went on he would frequently grow frustrated, needling me and other riders about how we “should know this by now” when our total riding experience might have been a few hours total, among other things, such as swearing at me for misinterpreting his directions and taking the wrong exit at a roundabout. Mark – unlike the other instructors! – did very little to build up my self-confidence and I genuinely believe his negative attitude held me back throughout my training.
Overall, the DAS training was very good, and I would recommend training with Camrider for your full licence. My experience with the CBT was mixed, but as Mark has since retired, I can’t speak to the quality of the current instructors, though I suspect Mark was an anomaly among what is otherwise a very friendly and accommodating crew.

I still cant quite believe what has happened today. I’ve only gone and passed my MOD2. Wow what a journey it’s been.
The husband done lots of research and we decided (even though there were closer locations) to start my DAS through Camrider Cambridge. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the first call with Vicky, we were both put at ease. Poor Vicky then got calls, emails, tears and so much more from me. She really has been a rock. Her husband Luke…the stories that man can tell. All comes from a wealth of knowledge, and he is also brilliant at taking the time to sit and listen and make you feel better. Although he did nearly get a sharp kick to the back of the knee a few times for referring to me a Caroline!! Then we move on to the instructors, Ben who is sadly no longer there. What a job he had! I cried on him and point blankly refused to ride on the road lol. Then it was down to Matt and the tall guy who prefers pets to humans.(thank vicky for that) I was also told to cry on him as he needed the practice! Honestly there are not enough words for you both. I never thought I’d have that feeling you spoke about “just go out and enjoy the ride” I felt sick constantly. I dropped the bike numerous times, and I came with less than zero confidence it plenty of chat!! You never got cross, or frustrated with me (to my face lol) and you both pushed me forward when i constantly doubted my abilities. And to the latest camrider instructor, 😂😂😂 the first ride we had together was to the test centre. I had had a little blip on my own bike days before my test. I’d lost all my confidence and was super quiet (unheard of) and ultimately failed the test…rightly so. But you got my bubbly personality full force on my extra session before my next test, a few days later. Which was also your birthday! Today I was taken over to the test centre by the man who has “manly sneezes” (his own words! Aka the tall guy). So he had to put up with my chat all morning!
You guys are beyond amazing. I really wish I was better at explaining what an impact you’ve all had on me. Not only what a great team you are, but what amazing individuals you are too. I’m going to miss seeing you all. But I will pop over and say hi.
Thank you a million times over.
Much love
Caz.
If you are considering these people and you’re scrolling through the reviews. Stop scrolling and just do it. Book through Camrider Cambridge. They will get you through it, and I strongly believe there are no better out there. They are worth every penny!!

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to camrider for helping me aqquire my full motorcycle licence. They helped give me the confidence and ability to ride safely and properly on the road. Wanted to say thank you to all the instructors for helping me through my course including Mark, Matt, Aaron and David. They were all really informative and helped me come over any issues and eliminate any bad habits that I had picked up from riding while having my cbt. Also wanted to say a massive thanks to Vicky and Luke for making the booking process and dates easily available and simple. Overall really good experience with Camrider and would definitely recommend them to anyone I know who is interested in getting their motorcycle licence.

Just passed my Mod 2 today. Thanks a lot to the team at Camrider Sawston! Did many of my training sessions with Aaron, who’s changed and improved my riding to a whole new level. And also to Matt for setting me up and refined for the day. Top school.
