Writing on my wife’s account – I did CBT, DAS, MOD1 and MOD2 with Camriders in Bedford what can I say they are truly amazing. I highly highly recommend anyone looking to start riding to use them. All the staff are super friendly and extremely knowledgable and show great care and compassion in what they do it really shows how much they all care. You can have a laugh with them so that took lots of the stress off when learning. I’d like to say a massive thank you to Ralph for my CBT and Dale Mike and Katie for all the work you have done teaching me. I’d especially like to thank Mike as he has been my personal favourite in supporting me throughout the whole process and helping me believe I could do it thank you mate

Had an excellent experience with Camrider. The instructors are amazing – professional, patient, and very supportive. They really make you feel confident on the bike. Highly recommend them, and I’ve already told my friends to do their motorcycle training here too!
Thanks Camrider 👍🏻

I’d give these guys 10 stars if I could.
Extremely professional, experienced and your go to partner for doing your CBT and Mod1 and Mod2 tests. All the instructors are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and being experienced bikers can take you from complete beginner right through to your full licence. Its been 35+ years since I sat on a 50/100/125 but I couldn’t have got back on a bike with a better team. Go to Camrider Bedford and you will not regret it.

Most reviews start with, if I could give 10 stars I would, and I totally agree. I completed my Mod 1 training and test and as of recent my Mod 2 test. both first time passes so over the moon.
All of the team are incredible from Sally behind the scenes to all of the instructors and big Dale the Friendly giant. I spent the majority of my time with Katie, who is a fantastic instructor and a lovely person and put me right at ease, coffee 1 sugar was how we started our days. She took me through most of it, all the way to my mod 2 pass with a special shoutout to mike for some mod 2 prep.
I was nervous about going on the road on a 650 for the first time, Katie wasted no time, we were straight out before you know it I’m out on the road and totally relaxed.
I Highly recommend Camrider Bedford.
If you live within a 100 mile radius then the drive is worth it.
Thankyou so much guys my first bike friends!
Cheers

2025 was a big year for me. Getting my licence had been on my bucket list for some years and now that I was ‘advancing in years’ AND had some funds to finance the project, I was game on.
What was supposed to happen, was that my friend, let’s call him Barry, was supposed to organise our direct access, but in this event, he failed tragically… (passed his mod 2 first time though… unlike someone else…)
The task of locating a training school fell to me…
From finding Camrider, to (finally) passing my mod 2 (thank God they’re patient), everyone was fab. Everyone. Ralph, Mike, Katie, Dale and Sally – all really worth a massive shout out. I would not hesitate to recommend this training school. So much so, that I put my son through his CBT on NYE (2025) with Camrider.
Now, that might have been the end of my praise… but to highlight just how lovely these guys are.. whilst watching my son completing his training, I had a chat with Dale. I needed a ‘ped for the boy and I was coming up short (there’s a joke there somewhere).
Not only was Dale instrumental in locating the PERFECT moped for my son, but he went the extra mile in supporting both my son and I in getting it transported.
I will be forever grateful to this team and to Dale in particular. The journey will continue for my son with the Camrider team. Six stars. Five isn’t enough.
Thank you.
