Compulsory Basic Training

This is the course to get you started in motorcycling. Everyone who holds a provisional licence for motorcycles MUST complete CBT before going out alone on a bike of up to 125cc or taking a test.

The off road elements include information on protective clothing and equipment, manual handling of the motorcycle, daily checks, starting, stopping, turning and low speed manoeuvering.

Once you have reached the required standard for the off road elements your instructor will then take you out on road. During this session you will practice dealing with normal road conditions including roundabouts , traffic lights , pedestrian crossings and junctions.

Having successfully completed the on road elements of the training you will be issued a certificate which is valid for two years.

A wide range of motorcycles and mopeds (automatics as well as manual) are usually available and course prices include hire of the machine together with petrol, insurance and the use of a helmet, gloves and wet weather gear.
