 Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)
The CBT certificate validates your Provisional Licence Entitlement to ride motorcycles up to 125cc.You must still display ‘L’ plates, must not carry passengers and cannot use the Motorway at this stage but it forms the basis of good riding to build upon for the future.
This is your first step towards becoming a road user who is able to get the best from travel on today’s modern and busy roads.

comment
I just wanted to drop you a short note to say 'thank you' again for your
time, patience and expertise over the weekend.
Who would have thought it - me getting my CBT! I'm absolutely delighted
with myself, and cannot wait to get going with my Mod 1 and 2, and
experiencing motorcycle riding at its best. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, even though I did think perhaps the bike
controlled me to begin with!
Your enthusiasm and insightful training are outstanding and I couldn't have
wished for a better tutor (even if you do eat all my freddo frogs!). Your
patience and calmness helped me to step out of my comfort zone, master a new skill and learn a
lot about myself ......... I can do it if I believe it.
Once again Tim, many thanks. I had a fabulous time. Please pass on my
regards and heartfelt thanks to Denise as well ........ again a very
patient and calm lady when faced with the likes of me!!
Kind regards,
Alex
