Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) Motorcycle Lessons
£75.00 (Weekend Course*) - Fully inclusive of motorcycle hire, fuel, insurance and clothing.
In 1990 the government introduced CBT as a legal requirement. CBT is a course of Compulsory Basic Training which must be completed before a learner moped or motorcycle rider is allowed to ride unaccompanied on the road with L-plates. You will have to reach a good level of safe competent riding in order to complete the course successfully.
The course is a full day of training and most people reach the required standard in that time even if they have not ridden a motorcycle before.
You will need:
Either a provisional or full driving licence and be 16 years old or over.
You will need to complete CBT if:
You want to ride a moped or motorcycle (Engine size not over 125cc. If you are 16 years old, engine no bigger than a 50cc)
You obtained your car licence after 1st February 2001. If you obtained your car licence before 1st February 2001, you do not need to complete a CBT to ride a 50cc moped
The CBT course involves five elements:
1. Introduction (covering legal requirements)
2. Practical off road training
3. Practical off road riding
4. Practical on road training
5. Practical on road riding
You must complete all 5 parts to gain your CBT Certificate (DL 196)
When all five elements have been satisfactorily completed a certificate of completion called the DL196 is issued. This is a legal document which validates your driving licence.
