Is a CBT a test, can I fail?

CBT training courses were introduced in December 1990 with the aim of improving road safety and reducing motorcycle accidents. A CBT is not a test, its a basic training course that teaches you how to safely ride on the road. A CBT course certificate can however be withheld if the instructor assesses that after receiving training your riding does not meet minimum standards.

How many people are on a course?

Courses are no more than two students at a time, one to one training is available at additional cost.

What do I need to bring with me?

You will need a UK driving license, a motorcycle helmet that meets British safety standards, a pair of good boots, a pair of motorcycle gloves and a sturdy, warm jacket and trousers, ideally designed for motorcycle use. A pair of good quality jeans is acceptable as a minimum. We want you to be safe and comfortable, so encourage you to be suitably dressed. We reserve the right to stop the training if you are not suitably dressed. No refund will be offered.
