Alan is also a fantastic instructor with a patient and kind nature to put you at your ease.

Jim, also a co director, is another very calm and patient instructor with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the training industry.  His warmth and good character shows in the many letters of recommendation he receives.  If you need the very best instruction there is, Jim, Alan, Jan and the whole team are the perfect choice.

My instructor yesterday was Adrian who was perfect , puts you at ease straight away and goes out of his way to make sure that you understand. I would highly recommend using these guys. Had an absolutely fantastic day and hope to go on to the next stage.

Joel Cross

I was very nervous about learning to ride, I was afraid of being a potential hazard or inconvenience to people. I haven’t got very much coordination and I’m awful at multitasking. I was pretty terrified of taking my CBT. Two years ago I was also diagnosed as autistic. I made my instructor aware of this fact on arrival, he took this into consideration for the entire day. He ask me how autism affected me and told me to do what I needed to remain calm and focused. On arrival my instructor, Steve, introduced himself making us feel welcomed. He offered us a cup of tea and explained the activities of the day. We went through each step thoroughly, taking breaks in between. We all got to know each other and shared quite a few laughs. He even brought us each an ice cream. He made us aware of the mistakes we made, gave advice on how to improve and explained the purpose of each action. All the while encouraging us to have confidence in our ability I was most nervous about riding on the road, but twenty minutes in and I was completely at ease and having a wonderful time. Our instructor gave us each an earpiece and explained each manoeuvre to us by means of a one way radio. He observed us whilst we rode, complimenting us on our ability and giving advice where necessary. My first thought after finishing the two hour training on the road, was that of eagerness to go out again. I had a wonderful time, the staff members I met were all very knowledgeable, welcoming and supportive. Thank you Camrider.

Everyone I interacted with was incredibly friendly and helpful. Instructors on both of my test days put me at ease and made sure I had done everything I could to pass before the event. Would recommend to anyone 👍

Kiera Renaut - Buttle

I done my first ever CBT with Camrider in Eye with absolutely no experience with bikes and was a completely changed person afterwards! The instructor was very patient and was very informative and friendly too! We went through every bit of training very well and answered any questions I had. I will definitely be going back here again to refresh my CBT or even training for a licence! Highly recommend them!
