The CBT course introduces you to all the basic riding skills you need. In order to be safe on the roads. Don’t be worried if you never been on a motorcycle before. As Our CBT starts from scratch and we assume you have little or no motorcycling experience. Be sensible dressed, try not to wear trainers or track suit bottoms, good jeans and walking boots are best, we can loan jackets gloves and helmets, waterproofs.

The focus of the days training is working through the DSA CBT syllabus. ·Training is the important bit, it is not a test, I mention this because some people come in really stressed thinking I must get this right first time or I won’t pass. It’s really not like that at all, it is a fun day learning new skills, but you will have a head start if you have read the Highway Code Once the last Module has been completed satisfactorily a CBT certificate will issued.
