CBT (Compulsory Basic Training)

CBT Training area session using a geared 125cc machine
This is not a test, it is a training course, and validates your driving licence provisional entitlement to use the public highway as a lerner motorcyclist. You do not pass the CBT, you complete it. The course usually lasts a day and is a made up of five elements.

* Introduction and discussion on safety clothing and equipment
* An eyesight check, machine controls explained, mechanics, basic maintenance and requirements
* Riding & control exercises in the off-road training area
* Lunch break and discussion about riding on the roads
* A few hours Road riding under radio direction from your instructor.

If you have never ridden a powered 2 wheel machine before we strongly advise you attend an Introduction to Biking course first. This will make your CBT course itself much more enjoyable.

If your instructor thinks that you require longer than the one day course this to be safe, then you will be given further instruction at no extra charge.

Following a successful completion of the CBT course, you are entitled to ride any bike (automatic or manual) up to 125cc (50cc if under 17 years of age), but you should be aware that you are still very much at the learning stage, and further supervised assistance should be built into your plans for the future.
