Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) - £130/day
Our CBT course is arranged so that you progress through a series of five elements.

Your CBT certificates last for two years - if you don't pass the full motorcycle test in this time, you will need to take another CBT course.
You will only move on to the next element when our instructor is confident that you have learnt and understood the theory you need and have shown the practical skills necessary to ride a motorcycle to a safe basic level.
The five elements are:
- Introduction - Ensures you are aware what the CBT is for. At the end of this element you should understand the purpose and content of CBT.
- Practical on-site training introduces you to the motorcycle. You won’t start riding the motorcycle in this element, but you’ll get hands-on training.
- Practical on-site riding is where you'll begin riding a motorcycle. By the time you have finished this element you'll have developed enough basic skills to allow you to ride a motorcycle under control.
- Practical on-road training covers the information you need to ride legally and safely on the road - it will be the foundations on which you build your motorcycling career.
- Practical on-road riding is the final element of the CBT course. You'll ride out on the road with a certified trainer, and possibly with one other trainee, for at least two hours. You'll be in radio contact with the trainer who will sign a certificate of completion (DL196) when they are happy you are safe to continue learning alone.
Your CBT certificates last for two years - if you don't pass the full motorcycle test in this time, you will need to take another CBT course.
