Fantastic experience: Had a cbt with Laura, she was professional, patient and very knowledgeable. Paul started off my training, he also definitely knows his stuff and both where nice people which is a rare change from the drill sergeants I've had in the past. They made what is normally a bit of a chore a good experience all round
Fantastic experience: I had a really good day at camrider the staff are very friendly and very good at helping you get to grips with the bike, manoeuvres and keeping you safe. I have had c.b.t training from a number of other places camrider was the best by fair. I will be returning weather thats to do a c.b.t or move on to the big bike.Thank you to you all at camrider
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of attending training at Camrider, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. The entire team is professional, friendly, and truly dedicated to helping you become a confident and skilled rider. The facilities are top-notch, and the curriculum is well-structured, making it easy to follow and build on your skills progressively. I’d like to extend a special thank you to my instructor, Laura, for her outstanding guidance and support throughout the course. Her patience, clear instructions, and encouragement were invaluable, and she always made me feel at ease, even during the more challenging parts of the training. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I feel fully prepared and confident on the road. If you're looking for a motorcycle training center that goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Camrider. Thank you again, Laura, for all your help – you made the entire experience enjoyable and rewarding!
Fantastic experience: Mark gladston and paulius great instructors and highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Absolutely buzzing, passed with Mark as my instructor. Was made to feel at ease and highly recommend. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Recently did my CBT at camrider peterborough, had a fantastic day and Graham Steers my instructor was brilliant. After an anxiety meltdown at another company, camrider was recommended to me. Totally different experience, staff were friendly and helpful. I would absolutely 100% recommend Camrider to anyone wanting to start or further their riding. I hope to be back to do my full licence.
Fantastic experience: Laura was very thorough, accurate, honest and fair. An inspiration to learn from and to follow. Thank you. Sincerely, Ginty.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely great place to do any sort of bike training. Did my cbt mod 1 and 2 and passed them all. Lovely staff. Will be coming back for my full a licence.
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend anywhere better. Attentive yet firm tutoring which goes a long way to build confidence and ability. Amazing
Fantastic experience: Fantastic instruction from mark and Laura (and I’m sure the others as well that I didn’t have). Passed MOD1 and MOD2 first attempt. Excellent school, great bikes to learn on.
Fantastic experience: Camrider Peterborough were brilliant and I would highly recommend their services. I booked last minute but they were happy to accommodate my request. Upon my arrival, the staff were really friendly and welcoming and showed me around the facilities, the equipment available was really good all at no extra cost which was nice. My trainer Aiden was excellent and made me feel really comfortable through my training. Overall, an excellent service throughout. Many Thanks
Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Camrider Peterborough if you want to pass your full license or even just your CBT. I can’t thank these guys enough for how they helped me get my full license. Special thanks to Laura whose training helped me get through the CBT but also gave me the confidence to go out on my own motorcycle, Laura’s advice on MOD2 test day and the pre-test ride was invaluable to me passing. Also Paul and Mark whose advice also helped my confidence in riding and got me through the MOD1. These three are brilliant trainers and I’m so happy I took the plunge with Camrider Peterborough.
Fantastic experience: Did my cbt today with Mark, great instructor, very helpful and patient with me so many thanks
Fantastic experience: Great time learning with Laura and Mark! No experience to passing Mod 2 within 5 sessions. The space between some of the sessions made it stressful (this was due to it being summer and DVLA being busy). Definitely recommend for anyone in and around Peterborough. Will be dropping by to show the new bike!!
Negative experience: NOT GOOD TRAINING JUST WANT YOUR MONEY AND MORE. ( STAY AWAY FROM CAMRIDER PETERBOROUGH )
Fantastic experience: Had an absolute blast, the training was great, and made me feel very confident in passing my tests. Thank you especially to Mark Rodger’s for being such a laugh and great instructor, thanks guys.
Fantastic experience: Best training school for bikes in the country! Passed both my mod 1 and 2 first thanks to the teaching they offer!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely great training school, got me through my a2 with no hassles would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Great instructors, nice clear guide to get you through your test
Fantastic experience: I recently undertook my DAS course on a part-time basis, which fitted in with my busy work schedules. I passed my mod 1 & 2 with Camriders guidance. In my opinion they have shown me the utmost professionalism, guidance, and support throughout my lessons and time with them. I would like to thank the owners and all their staff for helping me fulfill a dream 35 yrs in waiting.
Fantastic experience: I came here when I was 16 to do my CBT and now over 10 years later I have come to finish my full licence and the service was second to none and the training was amazing leading to a quick refresher and first time pass on both elements! Laura and Sarah were really great and helpful throughout! Thoroughly recommend Camrider
Fantastic experience: Laura and Chris were very professional and lovely, the Lithuanian instructor is a bit sus.... no not really they are all brilliant highly recommended....
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience thanks to all the team! Special thanks to Mark, Dave and Laura. All of which gave me plenty of tips and pointers along the way. Can’t thank you all enough. See you on the roads. Ian
Fantastic experience: I recently completed a course at Camrider Peterborough and had an outstanding experience. The school's facilities are great, and the staff is incredibly welcoming and professional. Special shout-out to my instructor, Laura, who was exceptional. She is patient, knowledgeable, and made every lesson both fun and educational. Laura's guidance and encouragement boosted my confidence and skills on the bike significantly. I highly recommend Camrider Peterborough, especially if you have the chance to learn from Laura.
Fantastic experience: Got this very nervous rider through his full license, couldn’t ask for more patient and kind instructors!
Fantastic experience: These guys were really patient with me teaching me tricks on how to stay calm and focused throughout both my tests
Fantastic experience: Completed my CBT today at the Peterborough site. The entire experience was brilliant, I had previously never rode a bike before and my instructor (Martin) was fantastic. He made me feel confident, and was very patient with me. On top of this the receptionists that welcomed me were very friendly and overall I had a really enjoyable day. Thanks Martin!
Fantastic experience: Did the CBT on 125cc today, Mark was absolutely brilliant! Very patient, knowledgeable and great fun! Thanks Mark!
Fantastic experience: Been to Camrider twice now, once for myself and a second time interpreting for a Deaf rider. Both times have been a great experience! Staff are good laugh but know their stuff and tech you well Will be back for the full license in no time!
Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience at cam riders!! The entire team were very friendly and welcoming and assisted in every way possible to help me pass my test. I appreciate the comments and training from Mark helpful and honest to get me through. Sally and Sarah were always there to help me get make sure I was ready for the Day of training
Fantastic experience: My instructors were Mark G and Laura J and they were both absolutely fantastic, I couldn’t recommend them any more if i tried. As a nervous driver who has only recently passed his car test, Laura and Mark made the whole process so easy and quite amusing at the same time. I am very happy to say I passed my CBT first time and that was purely and simply down to Laura and Mark.
Fantastic experience: Passed my MOD 2 at Peterborough today after completing a CBT to DAS course with Camrider, with 1 extra MOD 2 prep session a couple of days before the test. I found the instruction to be very good from all of the instructors who taught me, going from the CBT, MOD 1 and MOD 2 stages with enough time to get everything up to scratch. The bikes were also good and it was handy to be able to borrow the gear if you didn't have it at no extra cost. My wife initially bought me vouchers and she found the office team to be super helpful in explaining how everything worked, and so did I when Sally reminded me I needed a theory pass before I could start training!. I would recommend Camrider Peterborough to anyone looking to learn to ride a bike or to brush up on their riding after a few years (or decades) away.
Fantastic experience: Excellent trainers and the best place for any level of motorcycle training.
Fantastic experience: I used the Camrider direct access course to get my A license. I had Ray as an instructor who was extremely friendly and had a very good sense of humour. I also had Laura who was really great, very calming and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Camrider Peterborough.
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience from start to finish. Receptionist was lovely calming me down as I was very nervous. Then on to meeting the gang was great, just 4 in our class. My instructor was Ray, a quick witted patient man who was so friendly but professional that I didn't want to leave. I knew nothing, he showed us, who had never been on a motorbike before how to ride 50cc & 125cc geared. The 2 students who were a little experienced went with a nice chap called Mark and Ray took just us two newbies out. A great lesson with an obviously very experienced individual. I was worried because of the bad reviews but now I see this was just spoilt kids not understanding the Adult world, no spoonfeeding anymore now your road worthy. Thank you all. I'll be back soon
Fantastic experience: Passed my test on an automatic 125cc nearly 10 years ago decided to take my full test. Initially done a gear conversion lesson then moved on to a direct access course.Passed my module one on third attempt.Luckily passed module two on first attempt thanks to the professionalism and patience of the instructors . Couldn't recommend this company enough. Brendan
Thank you for the kind review Brandon. It’s always great to hear that customer has had a fun time learning with us. Wishing you many years of safe and happy motorcycling. Kindest regards Bern Adams
Fantastic experience: Excellent experience, amazing teachers What more could you ask for.
Fantastic experience: First time Riding, passed my CBT here. On the Training day everything was explained according to our pace preference. Whoever needed more time had it. Instructor explained calmly how to do things right if i did something wrong. Was nervous to attend but left the course very happy. They have a lot of bikes, helmets and jackets for a lot of sizes which was pretty nice. only need your own boots and jeans.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant as always
Fantastic experience: Having never been on a scooter. before I was nervous to do my training. We had a great day with Laura who was patient and very good at explaining all the different steps and at the end of the training I passed my CBT. Thank you Laura for a great experience. We would recommend this company for their professionalism.
Thanks for the kind review Fiona. We are very glad to have helped you with your CBT. Looking forward to seeing you for your full test training! Kindest regards Bern
Fantastic experience: I went to the Camrider in Peterborough to learn to ride a Moped. I had the pleasure of training with my instructor, Laura, who was knowledgeable and paitent and took her time to explain each step in detail and reasurred me, since I was nervous about riding a Moped. I am seventeen and I have Dyspraxia and this was handled with professionalism and care. After a few attempts, I was granted my certificate to ride a Moped on the road. Overall, I highly recommend Camrider for anyone who is looking to obtain their CBT. The staff is fantastic and was very supportive and helpful. The quality of training is second to none. Thank you Camrider for helping me pass my CBT so that I have achieved my goal!
Thank you for the kind review Ethan. I will let all the staff know that you enjoyed your time with us and that you were happy in the way we were able to help you get your well deserved CBT. We very much hope to see you in the future and wish you many years of safe and happy motorcycling! Kindest regards Bern Adams
Fantastic experience: I had a great CBT session with Laura today. She was fantastic and kept me motivated the whole time. The bike I loaned from them was in great condition and you could see everything there was well looked after. There is a nice, large training area for you to use that really helps you get to grips with the controls in a safe space. I'm looking forward to coming back in the near future for the next step. Thanks again Laura and Camrider!
Thank you for the kind of review Max. We really appreciate your feedback. I’ll make sure all the staff at Peterborough get to hear your kind words. We look forward to seeing you soon. Wishing you many years are safe and happy motorcycle. Kind regards Bern Adams
Negative experience: To much information in a short time span and the unnecessary pickiness made riding 10 times harder than it needed to be, cheap bikes made riding a horrible experience and has put my dad off riding permanently, I wasn't allowed on the road because the gear selecter was so cheap and damaged it wouldn't change on the 1st or second try. I went to shires motorcycle training the next week and passed as I had a working bike
Hi Robin, we were very sad to hear such a poor review. Please can you contact head office on 0800 387198 so we can get to the bottom of your problem. This will be handled in a very sympathetic manner and passed to the overall Group Director and Franchisor, Bern Adams, who will be able to respond fully. We will have our management team inspect all elements of your complaint, particularly as recently all bikes at the Peterborough branch were inspected as in excellent condition and with full service history. If you would allow us to review your complaint and verify that you have been a customer with us, then you will have our thanks and fullest attention. Kind regards Camrider Head Office
Positive experience: Most of the instructors are a HR departments worst nightmare and i felt the courses lacked structure. But they got me through my DAS course (mod 1 1st attempt mod 2 2nd) Would have been nice to have had the same instructor through the course or one who remembers you from 1 lesson to the next.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with my all of my training from Camrider. Instructors very good especially Graham, Laura and Ray. Sarah in the office is fantastic and keeps the wheels turning, if you’ll pardon the pun. Thanks for getting me my bike licence in only 6 weeks.
Negative experience: Hi, Poor standard of people skills, training is too rigid with a one shoe fits all approach by one or two of the instructors. It often felt like the training lacked any kind of method or structure and constantly having to probe the instructor for information. Instructor spent too much time at roadside cafe's and doing errands which they just seem to incorporate as part of the lesson haha. The business needs fresh instructor's who understand, know how and want to teach rather than old men who are biker's who are knocking around killing time that don't know how to teach. Newer big bikes are needed as some of them were old and clunky with gear changes and a nightmare to start up and a new improved bluetooth intercom system rather than a one way only radio link! In the end I had to switch training schools to Shires Motorcycle Training and passed my Mod 1 and Mod 2 first time round without any fuss and believe I am a much safer and confident rider for it. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Great place friendly group definitely going back
Fantastic experience: Very friendly, experienced and patient instructors, 100% recommended, I will be going back for my full test.
Fantastic experience: Faultless from start to finish, camrider are a fantastic company to use. Highly recommended Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: It's simply great. Great, patient and friendly people. Amazing experience.
Fantastic experience: Booking my motorcycle license here soon. Will update my review in time to come
Looking forward to seeing you Barry
Fantastic experience: Wonderful company. Did my CBT with them today. Very patient instructors. Good equipment and location.
Negative experience: From my personal experience I wouldn't recommend it , I did not like the setting , the instructor and the bikes , I ended up thinking I have to quit and find another school but it actually put me off and never got back to it .
Fantastic experience: A big thank you to all the staff at camrider Peterborough for looking after my daughter Flo when she took her CBT today. She had a great time and learnt lots and feels ready for the roads on her own. We'll be back for her full licence next year
Fantastic experience: Wow what a great team, a really good experience and i would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend CAMRIDER To anyone who’s thinking of taking motorcycle lessons. The instructors are extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. I did my training at Peterborough where I was made very welcome and received excellent training where high standards and safety are priority. A great big thank you goes to all the staff for their help and support on getting me through my training. I’m glad to say I passed my Mod 1 & 2 first time due to the fantastic instructors. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Negative experience: Not a great experience. The bikes are absolutely terrible and kept breaking. The instructor kept saying "why are you not listening to me". Of course I was listening! It was my first time on a bike, so did not have the skills yet. This is a terrible way to treat people and is the worst thing to say to a beginner. You really should now better. I chose not to proceed with the on-road training. I have now completed my CBT at an alternative provider and had a far better experience.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly amd it's scary how much the instructors know about riding amd everything motorbike Had a great day, these guys are pros.
Positive experience: Great female instructor. Really informative.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant successful day with them. Profesional and friendly. Can't fault them.
Negative experience: Prices are a bit high , 125cc bikes you learn on are really bad Chinese bikes. 600cc bikes are bit better , instructors don't really teach you lots of things, last minute show me tell me , you kind of have to learn everything yourself. Many times instructors just left me behind in traffic without considering me as well as don't talk much on radio. If you fail MOD2 it's £220 to redo which is ridiculous amount of money.
Fantastic experience: I had my CBT a couple weeks back Laura and another dude from the peterborough site really helpful explained it clearly definitely recommend them 100%
Thanks so much Jamie! Glad you had a great time. Wishing you many years of safe and happy motorcycling! Bern Adams
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Kerry was fabulous
Fantastic experience: Excellent training and passed my course first attempt.
Fantastic experience: Passed full licence with them, superb driving school.
Fantastic experience: Very nice people and very knowledgeable
Fantastic experience: Ok
Fantastic experience: As a experienced but nervous newcomer to sitting on a large bike , I cannot recommend camrider of Peterborough enough. What a bunch of down to earth instructors they are . They made me feel at ease not only on my taster session . But on the work for my mod one and mod 2 . And so here I sit , typing this with a mod 2 pass sitting on my shelf .. Thank so much to all the guys and Sarah at camrider
Fantastic experience: Great training. highly recommended. very friendly I was so nervous before I went for my CBT training. soon as I met the instructors my nervousness disappeared just like that that's how friendly thay were thay will make you feel like that they know you for years I have never seen that friendly instructors in my life any one who wants to get there CBT/Model one/full motorcycle license. done get it done by Camreder Peterborough you will love it and have fun guaranteed Thank you so much to camrider in Peterborough
Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional. Would use them over anyone else
Fantastic experience: Camrider is an excellent training centre, a friendly place where I always felt welcome and my nerves put at ease. Huge thank you to Rory and Graham, but my biggest thanks goes to Kerry who was fantastic. I intended on doing just my CBT but she encouraged me to go for the DAS. She made me believe in myself - a tough job - and constantly gave extremely useful hints and tips throughout her tuition. Thank you Kerry for giving me the push I needed!
Fantastic experience: Learned more than I could imagine.
Fantastic experience: As a student with no experience, CAM Rider made me feel at ease and taught me all the skills I needed to pass my tests. Especially thank you to Sarah for keeping me up date and organising everything, Kerry for helping me with my CBT, Mark for helping we through my MOD1 and Graham for fine tuning my skills for MOD2. Highly recommend CAM rider for anybody looking to start or complete their journey towards getting their motorbike license. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Had my CBT with Paulius. Can highly recommend him!!! All training went smoothly. Thank you for all tips and help!!!
Fantastic experience: Came here as a keyworker to pass my unrestricted bike test. Mark got me through the Mod 1 and Dale has been fine tuning my riding to get through the mod 2. Everyone here is great Dale is calm knowledgeable and friendly. Highly needed advice from Dale who sorted me out as Im a car driver who had got into some bad driving habits thanks to everyone. ! Follow on from this review...later that same day I passed the Mod 2 unrestricted license. Thank you all so much at Camrider Peterborough
Fantastic experience: Great service, attentive instructors and had fun time here!!! Would go back again!
Fantastic experience: Having contacting Camrider in the first instance my experience has been great, it took me a couple of times to pass my mod 2 , not bad for an old craok who was full off bad habits. The Instructors are second to none and friendly but like to get the business done and put you straight in a good way without making you feel bad, they build your skills and confidence with honest feedback, great tips and tricks to enable to pass your test, and let's face it, it's a tough test now days. I decided to retake all of my training from scratch and so glad I did it after a long lay off from biking. I would also recomend if you have had a long time off the road like myself to have a few lessons from these Guys, you won't be dissapointed. Its the most confident iv'e felt for years on a bike. I also plan to do some advanced training with Camrider in the near futre also.So to sum up up, a very pleasant experience with many highs and lows, but best of all good fun, keep up the good work that your doing. MANY THANKS TO YOU ALL.
Fantastic experience: Did all my bike stuff here, CBT through DAS. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgable staff and instructors. Each instructor seems to bring a slightly different approach for the same goal, which I found really helpful, lots of experience to tap into. They seem like a close bunch, more like a family, so thoroughly enjoyable to train here. Would highly recommend Camrider Peterborough for motorcycle training. Big thanks to Kerry for the tips on trail braking and counter steering!!!
Fantastic experience: Currently training with them, done 2 cbts with them before. Fair prices, friendly staff, best riding school I've come across, and I have a friend who owns another...
Fantastic experience: Good knowledge and expertise to help you not just pass your test but become a competent safe rider. They also love motorbikes.
Fantastic experience: I was looking for training centre who would be able to teach deaf person like me. Camrider didn't see any problem and all of staff there were suitable for my style communication. Dale took advantage (CBT and both DA Mod's) and when I passed Mod2 he was happier than me! Thanks a lot!!
Fantastic experience: I had been recommended Camrider on many occasions when I talked about the idea of learning to ride. So when I finally decided to take the plunge it made sense to check them out to see if they lived up to reputation and I couldn't have had a better experience. Starting as someone whom had no idea how to ride at all, nor had never ridden a motorcycle before they definitely had their work cut out for them as I started with my CBT and made my way up to passing my Mod1 & Mod2. Throughout it all the instructors and Sarah where all a bunch of friendly, chatty, patient and down to earth bunch of people whom always made me feel welcome whilst at my lessons. They also did well to qualm my nerves and instilled confidence in me when I struggled to master something. I would have no doubt what so ever in recommending Camrider to anyone thinking of taking lessons whether it be just your CBT or doing the full direct access course. Great work guys! Keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic training, and great people
Fantastic experience: Very good and very friendly, i have learnt a massive amount whilst doing my cbt and i will be returning in the future for my full test.
Fantastic experience: A very friendly bunch of people at Camrider making the learning experience fun. If you struggle with something they will ensure you get it right without making you feel stupid. I can highly recommend using Camrider, you won't regret it.
Positive experience: Staff are friendly and fairly patient.
Fantastic experience: Straight to the point training decent training area
Positive experience: Great place to do CBT the instructor was great.
Fantastic experience: Excellent trainers, great advice from start to finish. I had never ridden a bike before, I did an assessment with Graham and my CBT, then one half day training with Mark, then MOD1, then MOD 2 with Rory. The whole thing took me three weeks including the Theory I had booked and only four outings to Cam rider! The guys there are friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I will definitely be going back towards the end of this year to do some advance training. I 100% recommend calling them if your interested in learning not only how to pass your tests, but learning the right way to ride.
Negative experience: Bit of a mixed bag really. There are a lot of instructors. Some are very nice, friendly, good instructors. Some are not so good. There is no continuity, you have a different instructor each day so for me things got missed. Some instructors think it's ok to continually make personal comments and treat people like they are a fresh squaddie or something. I gave some feedback to them and was told that the variety of personalities suits most people. Well, the other person I was training with, who was a very different sort of person to me also didn't think much of the teaching style that day. Spending the first day on a big bike going off into a storm of hail and thunder with no comms is ludicrous. The instructor couldn't be bothered to spend 10 mins making the comms work before setting off. This was not a pleasant day. Actually, it was slightly terrifying. They don't have a bike that is suitable for anyone 5'4" and under which didn't help matters. Charging people for 4hrs tuition on a test day if you're not going to spend anything like 4hrs on a bike seems somewhat cheeky. I wish things had been different. Indeed, had I only done my CBT with them, my feedback would have been positive. I'm lucky my time with Camrider didn't put me off riding for life. Thank-fully I decided to change bike school after failing Mod 1 and my experience couldn't have been more different. Shop around - other bike schools are available! .................. In answer to owners response. On 1st big bike day I wasn't offered a lower bike. The 2nd day I was, but 'George' was still not nearly low enough. It was a struggle not to fall off standing stationary. So I did fall off. I appreciate you would prefer not to receive this feedback. I provided feedback directly to the school and they weren't the least bit interested in the possibility that they'd done anything less than perfectly. I'm afraid I see little point in contacting you. The opportunity to resolve this has long passed.
Dear ChiQi, We are very sorry to hear you report that you have not had a good experience with training at our Peterborough branch. We have looked through our customer records but regrettably do not have anyone of your name listed. Please could you contact us so we can establish where, when and with whom you attended so we can resolve any complaint in full and allow us the opportunity to ensure you leave us as a happy customer. We understand from your review that you had issues with instructors and motorcycles. This is somewhat confusing as we do have specially adapted direct access bikes that have cut down seats with lowered suspension that are ideal for female riders who have shorter inside leg measurements. We would hope to find why this was not made available to you. Also we would be keen to investigate the matter of any abruptness from an instructor. This is of course totally adverse to what is expected from a Camrider instructor any detail you can provide will be investigated and attended to promptly. Please do get in touch - if you could call Head office on 01223 789648 and leave a message with Joanna - she will pass this on to the groups overall managing Direct Bern Adams who has asked to be directly involved with resolving your complaint.
