What happens on a CBT course?

Once you arrive to the training site, your instructor will look at your documents (including your licence and past CBT if you have one). You'll have a chance to meet the other students, then it's time to get started.

​

The course is made up of 5 elements:

  • ​A: Introductions, Eyesight Check, the Legal requirements for riding a motorcycle, helmets and proper clothing.

  • ​C: Basic handling of the motorcycle – this is your first time on the bike. You'll learn how to ride in a straight line, use the brakes, steer the motorcycle, change gear (if on a manual), perform a U-turn, an emergency stop and a figure of 8.

  • D: Theory work covering the highway code, being safe on the road, legal requirements, road positioning and attitude.

  • E: Road Ride – your instructor will take you out onto the road to put into practice what you've learned.
