CBT Courses Before you are legal to ride a motorcycle on the road you must complete the CBT course. We also provide well maintained 125cc machines that are serviced, looked after and checked daily. Unfortunately the CBT course has been sold as an easy one day course by some training schools for many years. The truth is it is a demanding training course and requires you to demonstrate a good level of skill for each exercise. If you are a practical person or have prior riding experience, a one day course is within most people’s reach. But if you have never ridden before, you should consider a two or two and a half day CBT. This slows the pace down meaning you get thorough guidance, this training is far more relaxed and bespoke to your individual needs. Learning to ride a motorcycle is not easy and not everyone is capable of learning how to ride unaccompanied in one day (this type of training is classed as an attendance course and does not properly prepare you for the challenges that lie ahead). If you want to ride without L Plates, you can continue with further training towards passing your motorcycle test. Simon in action during a CBT Enquiries - Motorcycle Training 3

CBT - 1 Day Course Our one day courses are in line with the industry standard course. These can be extremely demanding for riders with no previous experience. If you do not learn new skills quickly or find practical skills difficult, we do not recommend this course to you. If you want to enroll on a one day course and do not have previous riding experience, please select to train on a weekday. Our weekday training site is extremely large and is ideal for novice riders to learn without any restrictions. If you have previous riding experience or are renewing your CBT you can book a weekend training date. Our training area on a weekend is ideal for riders who can already ride. The training area is much smaller. Please do not book a weekend CBT course if you cannot ride a motorcycle prior to attending (you may not finish and will have to rebook - which will cost you more money). One day CBT Training CBT - 2 Day Course Our two day CBT courses are for people who want to slow the process down and learn at a more convenient pace. This allows the skills to be taught, learned and set properly so that riding becomes second nature. When the skills are learned at a slower pace, there is less risk and a better standard of riding is achieved. This is because we can dedicate more time to develop your riding skills, this allows a more thorough training programme to be delivered. It gives you time to learn and think about things overnight before you return on the following day. These training courses run on a Sunday and Monday. Enquiries - Motorcycle Training 5

CBT - 2 ½ Day Course This CBT Course is extremely popular for riders who want to take their time and really get the best out of a training programme. The extra half day training allows you to have a 4 hour pre- CBT training programme to allow you time to learn without any pressure at all. You’ll spend the extra time riding and learning how to ride, without actually starting the CBT until the second day. This allows you to remove any pressure and enjoy the day rather than feeling like you’ll never be able to do it. This really allows you to slow it all down to your own pace. The best thing about this course is that we separate the training days. This allows you to go away and do some home study or extra practice on a pushbike before you return to complete the course. 2-and-a-half- day CBT Training Your Training Experience We only train 2 students to one Instructor for our learner training programmes but you can request 1:1 training for an additional fee. You can expect a very thorough training programme to help you learn safely. Our huge off- road training area is perfect for novice riders. We have partnered with Abbey Stadium to provide you with a huge car park which is an amazing venue with a cafe and on-site toilets. Enquiries - Motorcycle Training 6

Important Information It is a legal requirement to complete a CBT prior to riding a motorcycle, you must either hold a provisional or full car licence. You must be able to ride a bicycle and have done so recently, this is for balance and control. If you can’t ride a bicycle you must learn to ride one before you book in and attempt to ride a motorcycle. A CBT is at least a full one day course, it covers key areas and is a continuous assessment of your ability. If you do not reach the safe standard required in one day, you will need to book further training to complete the course. You can do a CBT from the age of 16 years old* but this must be done on a 50cc machine (geared or automatic), from 17 years upwards you are able to ride a 125cc bike. Once you have your certificate you are valid to ride for 2 years with L plates displayed, you can’t carry passengers and can’t ride on the motorway. If you don’t pass a motorcycle test within the two years, you must redo a CBT course. NB. *Please note if you are 16 years old we only have 125cc geared bikes so you would need to provide your own bike to train with us. Finance Package - An Affordable Option As a unique opportunity for you, we have teamed up with a finance company to allow our customers to have access to an affordable motorcycle training programme. Not everyone needs or wants a finance package but this bespoke product is 0% for our customers and it allows you to spread the cost over 6-12 months. This means that you can budget every step of the way, to ensure you are on the very best training programme that you need to be successful without any financial worries. Especially if you progress to taking your motorcycle test. Let us know if you have any questions and we will be more than happy to guide you through the easy process. Our office staff are here to help and will treat your application efficiently and in confidence. Enquiries - Motorcycle Training 8

Eyesight Check An eyesight check is part of the CBT, if you require glasses for distance please make sure you bring them. You will be required to read a number plate from 20.5 metres, if you cannot do this then you will not be able to complete the CBT syllabus. If you are unsure about your sight, please see your optician before you attend. Clothing Since Covid we do not provide any clothing or equipment for hygiene reasons. You will need to provide your own personal motorcycle gear helmet, jacket and gloves. Wear sturdy footwear such as walking boots, not metal toe capped as this affects gear changing. Should you experience inclement weather during your CBT, you could bring a change of clothes. We will provide you with waterproof trousers if it is raining. Highway Code & Theory Test At the time of writing, you don’t need to have a motorcycle theory test if you only wish to do a CBT (this is required for full bike tests only). BUT you must have a good knowledge of the Highway Code and understanding of how to use the road. The CBT is designed to teach you how to ride a motorcycle, not to teach you the road rules and regulations. If you don’t know how to use the road according to the Highway Code your CBT course will be terminated. Enquiries - Motorcycle Training 9
