From start to finish really good, nice clear booking system online or by phone. I had to change it with 9 days’ notice and they accommodated it no problem. Facility is clean and well kept lots of car parking and bike parking available on-site. Shop is well stocked with everything you need and the people who work there really know their stuff. I went for my CBT and had Ian as my instructor; really good, calm, patient, good instructions. Me being a taller gentleman, they picked out the bike for me and made it a more comfortable and enjoyable day in general. Little things that make it so much better.

I completed my full licence course (7 sessions) with Camrider between April-July 2026 and couldn’t be happier with the whole process. Vicky provides plenty of clear, detailed instructions about timings, payments, what kit to wear etc. and although a lot of this is very strict she was able to be flexible with me when I called up to ask to switch to an afternoon session (although I did call several weeks in advance). I had two instructors over the sessions – Aaron and Matt, both very knowledgeable, experienced, and clear with their approach to instructing. I had completed my CBT with another company a year prior and felt that Camrider was just a much more professional and organised setup than the other place. I passed both my Module 1 and Module 2 on my first attempts thanks to all the advice and training given over the sessions. The motorbikes we used for training were also good quality and I was lent all the kit I needed. I’d highly recommend Camrider!

From start to finish I can’t fault anyone at camriders in sawston. Everyone amazing from start to finish, vicky was brilliant. Always meeting you with a smile on the front desk. The instructors Matt and arron( congrats on the newborn sir) are very good and will help you go from zero to a rider. I’ve had zero experience on a bike when started and passed first time on all mods. They will teach you to a higher standard so you’re ready. Plus they are top guys as well. Can’t thank them enough and being very patient! To the other guys I was with on my training hope you’ve passed as well and I’ll see you all on the road soon 🤙 thanks again to everyone at camriders. Appreciate you all

I very recently completed my CBT with Camrider, and I could not recommend this test centre enough. The instructor was very thorough and taught everything in a very good way, both the practical and more theoretical elements. When I struggled with something, he always had a positive attitude and gave me constructive advice on how to correct my mistakes. Ultimately, thanks to that, I managed to pass my CBT! For the length of the course (longer than at most test centres, from my prior reseach) this is a really good price. I highly recommend Camrider in Cambridge! (Also, thanks to the course, I know that I’ve developed a new hobby and a love for motorbikes. I can’t wait to buy my first one!).

I completed a CBT + full DAS course with Camrider (including CBT refresher) and the whole experience was phenomenal from top to bottom. Vicky is an administrative powerhouse and a cornerstone of getting all the sessions organised and booked in; she was incredibly accomodating around my scheduling constraints and she and Luke are additionally both thoroughly knowlegeable when it comes to all things kit and gear. I had the pleasure of being taught by Arron and Matt (and Ian all the way back on my first CBT day), all of whom are calm, insightful, and experienced instructors who work tirelessly to improve your riding skills and confidence. I had both 1-to-1 and 2-to-1 coaching and the standard across the board was exceptional, with a great mix of friendly banter alongside encouragement and coaching tips. I pased both my Mod 1 and Mod 2 tests first time, with the whole DAS course spread out across roughly 2 months. The team at Camrider Sawston are truly motorbike people through and through, and strive to get the best out of you. I would recommend their training school and gear shop without hesitation to anyone considering dipping their toes into the world of motorcycles.
