Obtaining Compulsory Basic Training
It is a Legal requirement.
It is a safe introduction to motorcycling through a course set down by the Driving Standards Agency.
It will enable you to ride your motorcycle, moped or scooter on public roads as a learner.
The course introduces you to basic riding skills and road craft.
The main focus of the day is getting you used to controlling the bike, for this reason a large portion of the course is spent in the safety of our off-road facility. This enables you to learn and practice the techniques needed without having to worry about other traffic.
There are 5 Elements to the CBT
