The CBT course is designed to start you riding and is a legal requirement for anybody wishing to ride a motorbike.  The course is one day and divided up into five sections:

 

1. Information about helmets and clothing

 

2. The bike controls and maintenence

 

3. Riding the bike in a secure area in preparation for the road ride

 

4. Theory about legal requirements and a bit on the highway code

 

5. A road ride to practise everything

 

Once you have completed a supervised two-hour ride on the road you will receive your CBT certificate which validates your licence for two years to ride up to a 125cc bike (50cc if you are 16years).

 

If you then want to ride a bigger bike you have to (1) be over 19 years and (2) be supervised by an instructor until you pass your tests.  See the FULL LICENCE link for more information.
