CAMRider Bedford Ltd Reviews Summary

Instructors

Pros:

• "Dave was my instructor for the direct access course, he did a fantastic job and was a great teacher."
• "He's a great instructor, friendly, genuinely happy when a pupil passes & I would recommend this school to others thinking of pursuing their motorbike licence."
• "Paul was an excellent instructor. He was calm and patient, no matter how many times I stalled."
• "Both Dave and Steve are really great instructors, obviously both experienced riders and they are great at helping convey that information in an engaging and fun way."
• "Dave is an excellent Trainer, must say it's quite an intense course if you've had no prior experience but with Dave's expertise and guidance you'll achieve your goal."
• "Steve was very professional and explained each stage of the training thoroughly."
• "Katie was my instructor. She was very supportive and explained instructions very clearly."

Cons:

• "Rude Staff. My son was told to 'Do One' when he turned up late (not his fault) and was told he had to re-book and offered only an £8 discount."
• "Dave is no longer managing the place and the new manager - well, first impressions. He needs to scratch up on his customer service skills and manners."
• "Just go there to do the CBT course only if you have very good experience, otherwise after 1 hour your instructor will tell you that he has no time to offer you another one or 2 hours of practice because he is busy with someone else which got more experience and came there for renewal."

Training Experience

Pros:

• "I had never ridden a bike before but now have just completed a direct access course and have got my full licence!"
• "In just under 6 weeks I have completed my CBT, theory, training sessions, mod1 and mod2."
• "Was a fantastic experience from start to finish!"
• "Excellent instructors and have thoroughly enjoyed every session I’ve had with them."
• "In a space of one month we have gone from being complete novice riders to passing our mod 2 today."
• "The lessons were clear and well planned."
• "The instruction prepares you very well for both mod 1 and mod 2 tests."

Cons:

• "The training venue is adequate but chilly in winter."
• "I think they should offer a few more facilities at Bedford, after watching the video I expected more, all in all it was fit for purpose though hence why only 5 star."
• "A little longer time on the 600 to practice for mod 1 a cheaper practice session to just come down and use the bike and course would be good."
• "Seems very expensive in comparison to other riding schools."
• "I also would like to see the CBT go to 2 days and a little cheaper for the younger riders with the option for a twist and go 125 not geared."
• "Other schools took my details and didn't get back to me."
• "No one returned my call and now putting in official complaint."
