COURSES
Open 7 days a week, We aim to provide you with the best possible experience as you learn to ride a motorbike or moped - all at your own pace. We can tailor make courses to your specifications or you can make use of our ready made course packages.
CBT COURSE
Compulsory basic training (CBT) is a course you must take before you ride a moped or motorcycle on the road.
The training makes sure you can ride safely on your own whilst you continue to gain skills and experience.
​
The course will start at 9:00am and will normally take around 6 hours. We will teach you everything that you need to know all at your own pace.
​
The CBT course is a continual assessment not a test.
