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.
