CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) is a course that all learner moped &
Motorcyclists Must undertake before riding on the road. CBT offers a opportunity
to learn important skills which will make riding on the road safer and improve
your general control over the machine, it also a valuable building block for any
ongoing training.
Advice on clothing the law and attitude towards motorcycling is also given. You
need no prior Knowledge of motorcycling for CBT in fact often the less you know
the better!
You don't even need to own a motorcycle or the correct clothing as we have our
own fleet of hire machines and safety clothing for you to use.
If you do want to use your own bike many dealers will deliver straight to us,
but remember you can't ride the bike there.
CBT normally takes a day to complete but sometimes can take longer depending on
individual needs, there's no rush and the course progresses at the pace of the
student.
If you dont reach the required standard in one day you can come back free of charge
until you do. we offer Cbt 7 days a week.
Once you have completed CBT you will be issued a certificate (DL196) which is
valid for 2 years. This enables you to ride on the road for two years displaying
L-plates or if you wish progress to the next step. At the end of the two year
period if you have not taken a full test you MUST retake CBT before continuing
to ride on the road. If you take a full motorcycle or moped test within the
two years the CBT become obsolete. Some CBT certificates issued before 1st Feb
2001 had a three year life.
Everybody who want to ride a motorcycle on the road Must complete CBT even
if you drive a car.
