My son arrived at 07:30 with evertything apart from his driving license. My wife was initially told that as long as she brought it back by 10:00 he would be able to continue. My wife got back and was told he was unable to continue. We have now been told we have to pay to rebook. What a joke. I rang to plea with Vicky and was given some speal about how they don't make money in the CBT's. I was very polite but she wasn't interested. I was told they're not for profit. I can tell you they aren't the cheapest provider, so I'm not sure how they aren't making any money. I definitely won't be rebooking with them. The joke is they do the training on their land so they could have let him start. We even sent them a photo of his license. Good old computer says no.

Never again!!!! Vicky is very much - computer says no. What a whiny individual who clearly enjoys being awful to clients They are the most awkward and unhelpful bunch of people. I would never book with them again. My son forgot his licence but said I could return with the licence. They lied and said we could bring the licence in by 10am and I turned up with his licence at 9.15am they still would not let him do this. Vicky did not listen to this and bleated in about how they make a loss if they allow a rebook. They are more expensive than most other providers as well so she has no idea about business or is a liar. What an awful company. Avoid and actually use someone who is more human and kind

My CBT instructor was fine, but unfortunately I felt that the training I received for my Module 1 test with a different instructor did not fully meet my expectations with Camrider Peterborough . My main concern was that I did not feel I received enough clear instruction or practice that directly reflected what I would experience at the actual test centre. The practice course at the facility that has changed from the old site Camrider Peterborough is different from the Module 1 layout at the test centre, and some of the manoeuvres I was practising did not directly relate to the actual test. I appreciate that training schools have different facilities and ways of teaching, but personally I would have benefited from practising the actual Module 1 layout and having clearer instructions for each exercise. After speaking to a number of other motorcycle training schools, I also learned that some schools offer additional preparation at the actual test centre before the test, while others have larger facilities where the Module 1 course is laid out similarly to the test centre. Some also use speed-checking equipment to help riders practise the avoidance and emergency-stop exercises at the required speeds. I understand that every training school operates differently and that facilities vary, so this is not intended as an accusation against anyone. It is simply my experience and why I felt I was not as well prepared for my Module 1 as I expected to be. At the facility there is not enough space to practice due to its size. It is not laid out like a mod 1 test centre that most school I’ve personally phoned around to offer the practice circuit and you can practice a number of times. My first day when starting my Mod 1 Camrider Peterborough was a full lock Motorcycle Rodeo experience manoeuvring within a very tight gap using balance . Even though I’ve been riding for 23 years ( mostly traveling across Asia for 3 years and back and forth to work in heavy traffic I also had my own business selling motorcycles I was the first motorcycle website in Asia selling large secondhand motorcycle . I’ve been also fixing scooters and bikes since I was 16 years old) I’ve personally never thought about using a bike in this manner. It was fun, but wasn’t necessary to learn, I think it is more for advanced riders. I personally am at the age where I just want to get on a bike and be professional and respectful on the roads, I’m not 20 anymore and I probably would have been more suited to someone with a more mature outlook on how a Mod 1 rider should be prepared,obviously following a syllabus. I had a break I love riding and I just want something to get me out and about and nothing intimidating anymore. After a bout of having cancer is the reason I stopped riding. I had saved for 10 years for this and the experience I had made me feel terrible. I even mentioned to other people being trained at the time “ I feel like I’m renting a motorcycle for the day and just following two people” I didn’t even go in front of the instructor once. I would recommend anyone booking training to ask exactly what Module 1 practice is provided, whether the training layout matches the test centre, and what specific preparation is available for the individual test exercises. If another rider has had concerns about the standard or safety of motorcycle training, they should raise those concerns through the appropriate official channels.

They will take so much time to solve any problems if it's done by team members they team team members behave completely unprofessional

My partner recently completed a CBT at Camrider's Ipswich centre and unfortunately the experience fell well below expectations. Whilst the theory section was delivered adequately, the practical training appeared rushed. Due to poor weather, parts of the pad training were skipped before students were taken out on the road. My partner was the least experienced and least confident rider in the group, yet felt they were not given the additional support and instruction they required. Particularly disappointing was hearing that an instructor made comments suggesting he no longer wanted to teach new riders and would rather conduct DAS and A2 training. Whether intended as a joke or not, this is not something nervous beginners should be hearing from their instructor. The end result was a rider who came away feeling less confident than when they started and quite upset by the overall experience. To make matters worse, I submitted a formal complaint to Camrider detailing these concerns and have not even received an acknowledgement. For £225, I expected professional instruction, good communication, and a focus on building rider confidence. Sadly, that was not our experience.

Today I lost £199. I booked a CBT lesson, arrived with 24 minutes late, I have been told to go home. I talked to the administration I told them I understood that I was late because of human circonstance. Nothing to do with them they just sit on my £199 saved for about a month. They didn't let me continue the lesson, didn't accept even I pay for late fee, didn't accept for me to schedule for another days (that's the moment they told me I lost my money). I talk to them with all the respect I have for human but like a robot in they big aire they repeated me the same thing. "Its your bad your late and you lose". Today's big lesson not every human, human.

I would give a 0 if I could.

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.
