Located at Fairways Sports and Social Club, Parsloe Rd, we have a large secure training area along with classrooms, rest facilities and all the services you would hope for with a professionally run training company. There is plenty of free secure parking and bus routes run outside.
We try to make the CBT a really enjoyable experience and you will find we have a large range of bikes for you to learn on. Additionally, we provide loan helmets, gloves, jackets and waterproofs. Our office staff will book you to tests we have reserved in advance and make sure you have details of exactly what’s needed. If you need any information or have any questions we are just a phone call away.
The Harlow training site is ideally located so you can learn on the roads of Harlow but are still very close to the DVSA test centre (just 20 mins away) so you will have plenty of practice ready for your final tests!

Our Instructors & Staff
We believe that learner motorcyclists deserve the best possible environment to train in and that high-quality machinery and equipment are not just an advantage, but are essential.

The whole day was excellent. The equipment and training area was very good but the training and especially our instructor was excellent. Tough but fair seeing their training us in something that is dangerous. Pete was a great day and I would recommend Camrider to anyone

Gr8 people to deal with. All of the instructors are motorcycle enthusiasts themselves & pass on their knowledge to get you safely through the courses & tests.
