CBT Training

Most learner motorcycle and moped riders must take compulsory basic training (CBT). You then have to pass your full motorcycle test within 2 years or you’ll have to take CBT again.

After you’ve completed your CBT, you can ride a moped or a motorbike up to 125cc on the road with L plates until you pass your full motorcycle test.

Compulsory basic training (CBT) has 5 elements:

  1. Introduction and eyesight check
  2. Practical on-site training
  3. Practical on-site riding
  4. Practical on-road training
  5. Practical on-road riding

You’ll move from one element to the next when your trainer is happy you’ve:

  1. Learnt the Theory, and
  2. Shown the practical skills to a safe basic level
