What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Instructors at Camrider Motorcycle Training Ipswich are repeatedly praised for the calm, patient manner in which they guide complete beginners through Compulsory Basic Training and onwards towards a full licence. A handful of customers describe arriving with no riding experience and considerable nerves, then leaving the session feeling confident and keen to continue, naming John, Warren, Jan and Jim for explaining everything clearly and approachably. Reviews time and again mention the balance struck between high standards and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, with learners given room to correct errors and take lessons from them rather than being hurried along.

Progressing from CBT through direct access to Module Two is a point that comes up often, including one account of passing the final test without a single fault. The teaching is described as thorough, well structured and personable, with attention to road safety and to building riders' belief in their own ability. A recurring theme is the encouragement offered to anxious newcomers, and the sense that staff genuinely want learners to succeed. Sessions are remembered as enjoyable and well organised, with customers noting constructive feedback, good humour and a welcoming environment alongside the practical riding work.

Excellent instruction from John at Cam Rider Ipswich really friendly and gave me the confidence needed to pass my full liscence. Great guy and would highly recommend.

Disappointing experience with a CBT at the Ipswich centre. My partner paid £225 for their CBT and, due to poor weather, key elements of the off-road training were cut short before the road ride. As the least confident rider in the group, they felt they did not receive the level of instruction and support they needed. What was most concerning was the attitude of the instructor, who made comments suggesting he would rather teach DAS/A2 courses than train new riders. This did little to inspire confidence in a nervous beginner. I subsequently emailed Camrider with my concerns but have received no acknowledgement or response. For a premium-priced CBT, I expected a much higher standard of training and customer service.

I did my CBT with John from Camrider in Ipswich yesterday. I would just like to sing his praises from the rooftops. What an experience and what a day. this instructor knows his stuff and more importantly knows how to teach and get the best out of people. Johns standards are high and that's exactly what I wanted from the day to come away feeling safe on the road. What a personable and professional man I'll never forget it and just a huge thank you!

These guys are great at what they do and saw me through my A licence from CBT to Mod 2 (with zero faults on my mod 2). My thanks go out to John, Jan, and Jim, the training was superb and you are truly lovely people. I'll likely see you all at the Copdock Show (on my Ducati 😁).

John and Warren were absolutely amazing. Before today I’d never ridden a bike, I had no confidence, no clue what I was doing and by the end I’m raring to go and want to go get my full license. The time and patience these two had with me I can’t even put into words. I’m so so grateful for all of their help and would recommend them to anyone who is wanting to get out on a bike on the road. Thankyou both so much your absolute angels 💕

I did a CBT at this place 2 years ago with John, very charismatic fella very welcoming, understanding and gives you every chance to amend your mistakes and learn from them. Today I did a CBT with warren and I have nothing to complain about the same applies to him as-well, stand up bloke who just wants to see you succeed and will give you constructive criticism to enable you to be a better rider, good banter and great atmosphere, even with people who are less confident and capable with their riding abilities. Warren took time off his lunch just to coach someone else who was less confident in order to make him more comfortable riding. 10/10 place couldn’t recommend it enough.
