What is a CBT?

Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) covers all the basics you need to know to ride a scooter/motorcycle safely. The course is only provided by trained bodies approved by the Driving Standards Agency; this makes sure that everyone learning receives the same quality of tuition.

In order to take the course you will need:

  • A valid UK driving license, provisional or full
  • Be aged 16 or over to ride on a moped (no greater than 50cc)
  • Be aged 17 or over to ride a vehicle no greater than 125cc.

The CBT is not a test it is a one day course to get you to a safe standard of riding. Once completed you will receive a certificate.
