Camborne Motorcycle Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Past my DAS with John teaching is good says it at it is ! But gets you through. Happy
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend CMT to anyone looking to get their bike license either if it’s your Cbt right up to your full access, John helped me pass my full access this week first time! He is very thorough and can have a laugh as long as you LISTEN! He will get you on your way in no time. Been a absolute blast training with him and made the whole week very enjoyable.
Fantastic experience: Very informative, learn lots and a great day all together. John is a very funny and friendly person , highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Fantastic trainer and helped a lot
Fantastic experience: Very good communication helped me with everything I needed help with helped me out to understand different roads also helped me get out of my comfort riding to being more legal on the road as I rode many of years on the road with bad habits and he helped me stop doing them
Fantastic experience: Passed my bike test this week with John, first time on the direct access scheme. Had an absolutely great time and learnt so much in such a small amount of time. The bikes we used were brand new and the coaching throughout was spot on.
Fantastic experience: Would and have recommended CMT to anyone who is interested in getting their licence. I had John who is a lovely instructor and taught me essential skills to help me pass my A2
Fantastic experience: Just passed my DAS first time! John is an amazing instructor I cannot fault him, the course or the way he teaches. Made the whole experience a pleasure 10/10!! CMT thank you very much
Fantastic experience: Total A+ for this local training company. Great bikes and tutor understanding of what each student needs to give you the knowledge and confidence to ride and enjoy. Thanks John
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my A2 license course. John is an amazing instructor with intuitive teaching methods which kept me having fun while training for the tests. He covered all skill basis and taught me to be a safe and confident rider. Thank you John .
Fantastic experience: Passed my DAS yesterday - woohoo! - I would recommend John to anyone wanting to take that next step on the bike. He is calm and relaxed, but also will pull you up on what you're doing wrong, so you can learn and improve. Easy to talk to and great fun. Go for it!
Fantastic experience: John is absolutely amazing. I came to John after another training school failed to adapt their learning style to my ADHD need. John was fantastic throughout and patient and today I passed my mod 2. I had so many self doubts and lacked confidence but John always supported me and told me to concentrate on one element at a time and that helped massively. His road commentary was a godsend and at the end of the DAS I was exhausted but in a good way everything he taught us followed through for our mod days and got us the pass we needed. I've had a blast I'll miss our days but I'm still going g to pop in on you John! All the best sweetheart
Fantastic experience: I have used Camborne Motorcycle Training for many years now. They got me through my CBT’s, A2 (restricted) and as of today, my full A (unrestricted) tests. I would highly recommend using this motorcycle school to get your desired motorcycle licenses. The current owner John is polite and professional, looks after all the bikes and gives you the best motorcycle riding experience possible.
Fantastic experience: I did a CBT with CMT. John, the instructor, was friendly, helpful, and instructs thoroughly but with a light-hearted demeanour. Not just a CBT but a great opportunity to refresh some of the grey matter. I enjoyed the day, and John finished off by offering any help in any way post-course. Highly recommended! #CBT #Learning #SafetyFirst
Fantastic experience: Had my direct access course with camborne motorcycle training this past week,john is a absolute star,recognised instantly the bits of my riding that needed attention and got me test ready,plus the fact hes a hell of a guy. Thanks john
Fantastic experience: John is an excellent instructor, he's a good communicator, works to put you at ease, and is observant and constructive with clear feedback. I will definitely be coming back for my DAS.
Fantastic experience: Cant recommend John at CMT enough. Great instructor whom helped my pass my DAS this week. Passed the mod1 and mod2 first time. He really made the week enjoyable and helped my sort out my bad habits from racing. Thanks again John! 10/10
Fantastic experience: I've just completed my DAS with Camborne Motorcycle training and couldn't be happier! John is by far one of the best instructors you could ask for, I had such a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. John took us all over Cornwall and up to Plymouth, teaching and giving pointers as we went, I got to know the bike, a Z650, really well and in all situations (wet and dry!) By the end of the training my confidence on the roads had improved massivly and all the controls and observations felt automatic. Test days came and I just remembered and followed all the teaching and advice from the week and passed Mod1 & 2 first time. I would highly recommend John at CMT to anyone, looking to do their CBT or DAS
Fantastic experience: Have done all my CBTS with John at Camborne motorcycle training , I did my Direct access course (DAS) with him this previous week Best instructor around, lovely bloke! 10/10 would recommend Has lovely bikes for the cbts ranging from 50cc-125cc And lovely Kawasaki z650 for the DAS Many thanks John Lewis, the menace
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend this school or the instructor John enough! I've recently completed my DAS training and passed my mod 1 and mod 2 tests with Camborne motorcycle training. John is awesome and will adapt his teaching to your learning style! 5 stars, thank you John!
Fantastic experience: John was a fantastic instructor who took me on with short notice, he went miles above my expectations for the short time he trained me for my mod 2. Bikes are all very well kept and maintained. Best in the southwest, see you in 2 years for my full A
Fantastic experience: I've just completed my direct access through Camborne Motorcycle Training. My instructor was John who is full of Knowledge and a great instructor. I passed first time on the module 1 and module 2 which was down to the training I received. I will definitely be recommending this School to others wanting to do either their CBT or Direct access.
Fantastic experience: Successfully passed my das this week. Highly recommend John. Great instructor can be stern when needed to get you out of bad habits. But a great guy. well maintained comfortable bikes to learn on
Fantastic experience: Just finished my CBT and DAS with John. Brilliant service from start to finish. With John you do some decent miles in some beautiful places. (I would have paid extra for the lovely ride down Marazion!) John not only gets you ready for your test but also teaches you how to be a safe rider in the future. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Made me feel more confident and get a grip off the training even though I was a bit slow and nervous for my first time lots of fun though I really recommend that you do cbt here
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend John if your looking to do any kind of bike training, Very knowledgeable and a great instructor
Fantastic experience: John was an excellent instructor.
Fantastic experience: Would recommend, did my cbt today & the instructor was excellent, any questions I had were answered & he also trained me at my own pace so I was comfortable
Fantastic experience: It rained every time we went out, even through the tests, but Mike was professional throughout the whole journey from the cbt to obtaining my full licence. Thanks again
Fantastic experience: Cant recommend CMT enough; they are professional and approachable and Mike was super flexible with my training schedule; he went out of his way to accommodate circumstances and between him and John, they inspired the confidence in me to pass my full license first time.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic day good training and everything well explained good people to use if interested in taking any part of your bike tests.
Negative experience: Disappointed! I called to book a cbt and was told a date that would have spaces. Mike told me to ring around before I confirm. I asked to book the space anyway and he said to call back the next day. I called back the next day and he had given the spaces away and couldn't help for several months. Confused that he turned me away and for no logical reason. Its complacency in the fact he has business coming from all angles but for sure if you show no interest in the beginning, I sure as heck won't be coming for my DAS
I take this one on the chin and totally deserve it Tim. In fact if it was me writing the review I wouldn't have given one star. But if you hadn't have put the phone down so quickly I could have told you I was looking at the wrong diary (old age I suppose) and that date was available. Anyway, I suppose one bad review for the 48 years I've been doing the job ain't too bad. Cannot win them all. Sorry bud
Fantastic experience: Fantastic training
Fantastic experience: Passed my Mod2 thanks to Mike. Really helpful, quality training. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Dis my DAS with them many years ago. Called up for a friend the other day. Still as helpful and polite as I remember. Cannot fault them. If you are looking to get your full bike licence definitely give them a call!
Fantastic experience: I can honestly say, they have done everything you need, especially being in the older generation!! To make you feel confident and relaxed on your CBT training. Totally would recommend them, whatever you age ️
Fantastic experience: Fantastic training, highly recommended. I did the direct access scheme with them and they got me through my mod 1 and mod 2 first time. Knowledgeable and professional instructors provided a friendly environment. They didn’t just train for for the test they trained me to be a safer and more competent rider. Five out of five stars
Fantastic experience: Really good experience. Nice people. Everything is clear and smooth throughout.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my Mod 1 and 2 with CMT. Can't fault the training in any way, would recommend highly.
Fantastic experience: Completed my DAS training with Jon, who got me from being a nervous rider to developing my skills to such a standard that I passed both my mod 1 (1 minor) and mod 2 (0 minors) first time. Now onto learning even more, as I built experience and confidence on the great foundations I have learnt through my training.
Fantastic experience: Did my cbt today 17th Aug 24 with John and his team brilliant instructor's very patience with the students no question is a stupid question in there minds very knowledgeable instructors can have a laugh and joke with them etc I would highly recommend camborne motorcycle training.
Positive experience: Daughter done her cbt here very professional
Fantastic experience: Completed my cbt and das with Camborne motorcycle training All the instructions are very good And with my das mike was amazing start to finish And all the motorcycle are in great condition
Fantastic experience: Fantastic from start to finish, i had Matt and Salvi for CBT both of which were really great and really started picking me up on stuff straight away that would have to be right for my DAS even though i was on a 125 doing my cbt. Then i moved onto DAS training with Mike, hes very calm, very reassuring, and patient, we rode to plymouth for mod 1 training and Mike stood in the rain for 2 hours whilst me and Brandon done our mod 1 training and not once did i feel like he wanted me to hurry up so we could go. No pressure at all. But i passed my mod 1 with 2 faults and my mod 2 with 7 faults, a bit high but like Mike said, id passed. So yeah a huge thanks to Mike and the guys and i would reccommend CMT to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service from start to finish, couldn't recommend enough. Patient, knowledgeable and professional throughout, really enjoyed the das course. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great experience, a relaxed instructor who puts students at ease building confidence. i learned alot each day and was tired at the end of each day, breaking up training days was perfect as for me as the riding stature initally hurt my back. All types of riding, costal, town and carriageway, everything at a slow pace and no pressure.
Fantastic experience: Mike's a top guy looks after his riders gives you all you need to pass both mod1 and mod2 first time pass on both mods for me well chuffed would recommend even if I didn't pass top team and cmt
Fantastic experience: Well chuffed with my pass..top training company and super friendly people which do there very best for you
Fantastic experience: I have done two CBTs with these guys and just recently my A2 with John. Absolutely outstanding training providers that make the training days enjoyable and a good balance of learning and enjoying the ride. John was one of the best trainers I've had and made it clear when you "F*cked up" but gave the absolute best praise when you didn't and were very patient for the first two days as you get used to it! You can tell these guys geniunely care about getting you through the tests and I would highly recommend them! Fair price and very good bikes to learn on too!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant, can't recommend enough. From never riding a road bike to passing mod 2 in only 5 days. Very friendly great service. Big thanks to all at cmt
Fantastic experience: Passed my MOD 1 and 2 first time and its all thanks to Mike at Camborne Motorcycle Training. He is very patient and sticks with you through every step of the DAS training and makes you feel at ease. From the CBT right through to the MOD 1 and 2 Test. I highly recommend Camborne Motorcycle Training to anyone who wants to learn to ride.
Negative experience: Would never recommend to anyone
Fantastic experience: I recently did my DAS with Mike and couldn't recommend him enough. he's patient and extremely helpful in pointing you in the right direction to improve your riding. so if you're looking for experienced and all round good teacher then pick Camborne motorcycle training.
Fantastic experience: I wish I could rate higher. Mike is amazing and his training is very reactive to whom hes teaching. The way he trained me was different to the person whom I was on the course with and I went straight through my MOD 1 & MOD 2 with no hitches at all. If youre looking for top quality training paired with a genuine, experienced and lovely group of guys then CMT is the best option. Amazing.
Fantastic experience: Mike and his team were awesome from the point where I booked my CBT all the way through to the end of my Das course. The training is delivered in such a way that it gives you all the tools you need to pass both modules. All I can say is outstanding, really appreciate the training, and I passed first time. Don't hesitate to book in if you are in need of bike training, these guys are amazing.
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with the level of service and dedication From Mike. I don't think I would have passed anywhere else. The course is run in a way to give you maximum chance of passing each module and is also enjoyable. Would highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: I did my CBT and my DAS with CMT and found them great to deal with and the instruction from Mike and his team was brilliant. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Today i passed my full bike test after an awesome few days with mike training. I did both my cbt and direct access (DAS) with cmt and i would recommend them to anyone! Good, modern and well maintained bikes. Perfect instruction that suits anyone's abilities. And an all around good experience! Thanks again mike for getting me through and i won't forget. Gently on the gearbox and keep an eye on seperation distances. Cheers again, One happy customer Josh.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! Instructors are patient and highly knowledgeable with a nice calm learning environment and an overall enjoyable experience. The training area is of ample size and the bikes are well maintained. I don't usually like giving out 5 stars as there is usually something which I feel could be improved upon. It's nice to see an exception!
Fantastic experience: excellent service lots of patience and will help out no matter what would recommend to anyone
Fantastic experience: Cant thank Mike and Chris enough for their patience with me great training
