Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)

A legal requirement for all new riders(moped, motorcycle and scooters)

Please note:

Car drivers who passed the full car driving test prior to 1st February 2001, may ride a moped (machine not exceeding 49cc) under the provisions of that licence without CBT training.

The CBT course is specifically structured by the Driving Standards Agency to provide new and inexperienced riders with a basic understanding of motorcycling, including theoretical tuition, machine control at our off road training site and finally on-road training whilst in radio contact with an Instructor.

The course is usually of 1 day's duration* following which you will be issued with a DL196 Certificate which remains valid for up to two years.

Upon completion of the CBT a rider aged 16 years may ride a moped not exceeding 49cc.

A rider aged 17 and over can ride any machine not exceeding 125cc.

* You will only be issued with a DL196 provided that your Instructor is of the opinion that you have sucessfully completed all aspects of the course on the machine. On occasions it may be necessary to  complete training on another day.
