Had a great experience with Camrider Bedford from my CBT right through to Mod 2.
I did my CBT with Katie, who was brilliant, then went back for Mod 1 training with Mike, Ralph and Katie. All three were patient, fair and clear with their feedback. They explained things properly and helped me build my confidence while teaching to a very high standard. I passed Mod 1 with no faults, which says a lot about the preparation they gave me.
I had Mike again for Mod 2 and the same great standard of instruction. The bikes and equipment were good quality throughout, and I always felt well looked after.
A big thanks to all three of them. I’d happily recommend Camrider Bedford and may well be back for the advanced rider training!

I did a DAS course with the Camrider team at Bedford. Honestly from the 1st phone call speaking to Sally who booked my course. (Who was a star by the way!). She was able to move a day on the original course to align with my shift pattern days off! Then to meeting all the instructors throughout my training (Dale, Mike, Ralph and Katie) it was truly wonderful experience. I felt warmly welcomed to the team. I felt relaxed and fed all the information bit by bit that I needed leading up to my Mod 1 and Mod 2. It was a perfect mix of knowledge, fun and a little banter to ease those nerves. It will sound strange but it was a sad day getting that Mod 2 pass today because I will miss the fun I had during the training. They put there heart and sole into it. You feel like part of a family and are always welcome to pop in for a cuppa which i will do again soon! Note…They are in the process of moving sites so please bear with them while this takes place!
I urge you to go and say hello 👋 if you are thinking about doing a course with them! Truly amazing 🏍♥️

I can’t thank Katie enough for getting me through both my Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests on the first try! From day one, her coaching was clear, concise, and incredibly effective. She has a real knack for breaking down technical maneuvers—like the Mod 1 slow control—so they feel completely natural.
Beyond her top-tier instructing, Katie made every single lesson absolute gold. She keeps things calm, positive, and genuinely fun, which took away all the pre-test nerves. If you’re looking for an instructor who will build your confidence, turn you into a safe rider, and keep you laughing along the way, Katie is the absolute best. Thanks for everything!

5 stars for the absolute legends at Camriders Bedford!
I went from taking my CBT back in June 2025 to passing my MOD2 this August, and I couldn’t have done it without Katie, Ralph, Mike, and Dale.
Huge thanks to the whole team for making the entire journey so much fun. If you’re looking to get on two wheels, these are your people. See you out on the road!

Firstly I would like to say thank you! Each & everyone of you are brilliant as people & as instructors. Massive thank you to both Katie & Mike who took me for both lessons & testing. Special shout-out to Sally who does a lot behind the scenes & couldn’t have been more accommodating when providing cancellations & info. DO NOT hesitate booking with these guys if you’re thinking of doing any form of motorbike journey. I walk away today with my MOD 2 having started my journey in the 1st week of August.
Thank you so much.
