GBFantastic full package from CBT to liscence with no minors All in all a fantastic experience provided from the whole team at camrider Ipswich and their determination to not only get you to pass your test but to also ensure that you will be a safe and competent rider in the future really shone through. Please read on to find out more about my experience. John and Warren we absolutely fantastic on the CBT. Having done a few in the past with other schools I found their approach to be the best so far. They took the extra time to ensure that you could not only ride the bike but that you would be safe on the road and used there years of experience to help explain various scenarios that you may encounter on the road. The slow riding control aspect of the CBT I thought was brilliant because they were able to really instruct you on how to control the bike and maintain balance. 5 stars for these guys and a thoroughly enjoyable day. Following my CBT I stuck with cam rider to go through my mod one and mod 2 tests for my A liscence. For this I had 2 lesson then my 2 test days as cam rider took into consideration my previous experience on bikes and tailored my course accordingly. My first lesson was with Steve on the MT07 which was a great lesson filled with lots of practise and information for the MOD 1 test. Steve was great at making sure that he continued to give me lots of instruction whilst we were out with another less experienced rider who required a lot more instruction. My next lesson was with Jim and this consisted of a long road ride with a bit more Mod 1 training at the end to prepare me for my test the following week. This was a great lesson being able to get the bikes up to speed and really getting a good feel for being on the road with the bikes. On this occasion I was on the CB 650r which was great fun out on the road and although it was a very different ride from the MT07 I enjoyed it and it gave me a great feel for the difference between 2 cylinder and 4 cylinder bikes. Jim's instruction was brilliant and he had a great way of making you think about what you were doing and the reasons behind various decisions which ultimately help with being a better rider and passing the tests. MOD 1 and MOD 2 tests were both taken with Steve. The Mod 1 test was not too bad we went out for a ride before the test to let the nerves settle the we were into the test center for the test. Happy to say both me and the young girl who was doing her test with me passed with no minors on the Mod 1. Mod 2 day came around and was incredibly nervous but again Steve did a great job of settling the nerves and took me for a mock test ride which he gave great feedback on and which helped me during my test as some of the scenarios from the mock test occurred out on the road. The great weather was followed by a great result and I managed to pass with no minors. A huge thank you to Steve who also went the extra mile to take me to collect my bike that was waiting for me after I passed my test. All in all a fantastic experience provided from the whole team at camrider Ipswich and their determination to not only get you to pass your test but to also ensure that you will be a safe and competent rider in the future really shone through.

GBAfter wasting over £2700 with Circuit… After wasting over £2700 with Circuit based training (Mallory Park), I went back to Camrider (Corby) who I did my CBT with. Mick & Dale quickly identified why I had failed my MOD1 (twice with CIrcuit Based Training), after an afternoon of training, my MOD 1 was booked & passed with ease. A few weeks later, I did a couple of ride our sessions & passed my MOD 2. If I had gone to Camrider in the first place, I’m confident that I would have only spent £800 in total.

GBA 5 Start Experience Second time renewing my CBT at CamRider Ipswich and second time with John as my instructor. He really knows his stuff and communicates his knowledge in such a friendly and effective way. All in all, a great experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CamRider to anyone.

GBDO NOT BOOK WITH CAM RIDER!! DO NOT BOOK WITH CAM RIDER!! If you book with them you pay a load of money, then, if you have to cancel, they wont refund you!!!!! I lost £95!!! For nothing!! I'm a young autistic woman, I have no job because I live in the countryside where there's nothing around. I saved for months to pay for a lesson to get on my motorcycle so I could start applying for jobs. I booked in December. My lesson was in March. I got a new phone and mustn't have transferred the date onto my new calendar because I got a call---too late to do anything about it---saying "you missed your lesson today". Like, thanks??? Why didn't you call me yesterday to say "Still good for your lesson tomorrow."? They then told me I won't get a penny of my money back. They could have reminded me, couldn't they? Just set a computer to automatically send a text out or something. But of course not. Lucky them, getting £95 for doing absolutely no work! Before you say "yes, but it's your fault for missing your lesson" just remember there are so many reasons YOU might have to cancel your own appointment. If you're sick, if the weather is bad, if you change your mind, if your kid has a thing, or just because you're only human and s**t happens. I saved for months for that money. Absolutely appalling.
