What is the CBT?
Compulsory Basic Training is a legal requirement. It will
enable you to ride your motorcycle on public roads as a
learner. This course introduces you to basic riding skills
and will form the foundation of all your future training.
What do I need to bring with me?
Your Driving licence - If you have the new photo card
licence you need to bring both parts, that is, the credit
card licence with your picture on it and the A4 counterpart
that comes with it. If you do not bring both parts you will
not be allowed to complete the course. If you have the old
paper licence, you will need to bring photo ID to take the
CBT, a passport is ideal.
f you are using your own machine you will need to bring
your insurance certificate and MOT if applicable, the
machine also needs to be taxed. If you need glasses for
driving bring them, we will need to test your eyesight..
Helmets and gloves are supplied free of charge. If you
haven't got proper motorcycle clothing we advise you wear
jeans or strong trousers, flat boots, no steel toe caps
(remember you need to feel the controls with your feet on a
geared bike), and wear a sturdy jacket.

How can I prepare myself for
my courses?
For all courses we suggest that you read; 'The highway
Code', and 'Motorcycle Riding, The Essential Skills',
published by the DSA.What is the A2?
This is the standard 125cc motorcycle test that will give
you a restricted licence up to 33BHP for two years.
What bike could I get with this restriction?
Most modern motorcycles can be restricted down to 33BHP. For
example, you could buy a Kawasaki ER6, have it restricted,
ride it for two years and then have it unrestricted.
What is the Theory Test?
All riders must pass a theory test before they can take
their practical test. A theory test is not needed for the
completion of a C.B.T. (Compulsory Basic Training).
You can book your test yourself by ringing 0300 200 1122 or
