Introduction to CBT
All learner motorcyclists and moped riders must satisfactorily
complete CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) before riding on the
road. Special exemptions are explained in the law
section.
The CBT course covers 5 elements - A,
B, C, D
and E. These have to be taken in sequence.
The whole course takes from 6 to 8 hours but can be spread over
2 or more days if you prefer.
Approved Training Bodies (ATBs) run CBT courses. ATBs have
| * |
Instructors who have passed the Driving
Standards Agency (DSA) course |
| * |
Sites approved by the DSA for off-road training |
You can find a CBT school near you in the training
schools section of this site.
Most DSA approved training schools can hire or loan both bikes
and helmets.
When you've successfully completed all 5 elements you'll be
issued with a Certificate of Completion
of training (DL196). A DL196 has a 2 year life. If you don't pass
both your theory and practical tests in that time then you'll
have to take the CBT course again.
You can now ride on the road on a learner legal
motorcycle.
You can also now apply for the DSA motorcycle theory
test and, if you pass that, go on to take the practical
test.
After CBT there are other courses
you can go on to prepare for the test.
