Did my CBT test yesterday.
The entire day was a lovely experience. Tim is a great instructor who explains things in great detail so you understand. It was my first time riding a geared motorcycle and by the end of the day, i myself was road worthy.
10/10 recommend anyone looking to get their CBT done to go through CamRider.

Can’t thank everyone I’ve spoken to and met at CAMRider for the help and training to get me through my mod 1 and mod 2 tests first time! From speaking to Jo over the phone who is very organised and knows exactly what’s going on and when to book sessions etc. To Duncan and mainly Pete who had me for most of my sessions, guiding and training me to get through first time! The experience and knowledge definitely shows! Every session was met with smiling faces and a will to teach! Hope to see you out on the road soon!

Could not recommend Camrider Harlow enough! I’ve just passed my Mod 1 and Mod 2, both first time and I am so grateful to Camrider. From Joanna in the office that managed to accommodate my lessons on days that suited me, to Duncan, Pete and Tim who instructed my lessons. They all made it very enjoyable whilst passing on their experience, knowledge and passion! They explained everything in detail, all with patience, and teach you how to ride safely, not how to just pass the test. The bike I learnt on was also good quality and easy to handle. Highly recommend. It’s been great to learn with Camrider, thank you guys!
