Motorcycle training in Cambridge

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.

After looking around at different places to do my motorcycle lessons, I decided to go with camrider and I’m so glad I did. I was a complete novice. I spoke with Vicky on the phone who explained the courses & costs. I explained that I suffer with anxiety, she was very understanding and reassuring. I completed my CBT, mod1 & mod2 here and passed 1st time! This was all thanks to Aaron and Matt. They were both fantastic teachers. They were friendly, made me feel calm (even though it didn’t appear i was) 😂, they are very knowledgeable, explained everything well, and if I ever made a mistake they never made me feel silly for it. They are all amazing there – so friendly! I will miss seeing them weekly. You won’t regret training with camrider.

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!

I did a six session course including a CBT and both the MOD1 and MOD2 tests on the big bikes. The instruction and pacing were ideal for me. I learnt lots of nuances, passed my tests and most importantly feel well prepared to be out on the roads riding independently. Genuine, friendly and professional staff who clearly take a personal interest in the success of their learners. Cheers, I had fun!

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!!
