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 old paper licence, you will need to bring photo ID to take the CBT, a passport is ideal.

If 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..

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.

A packed lunch or some money to get some.

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.
