CBT Course Details

The CBT course usually lasts a full day however can take longer depending on how fast you learn. There are 5 elements to the course:

  • Introduction and safety equipment lesson (Element A)

  • Controls and Maintenance (Element B)

  • On-site Training (Element C)

  • On-road theory lesson (Element D)

  • On-road lesson (Element E)

​

You will move on from one element to the next when your trainer is satisfied you have understood the objectives of the session and  also shown practical skills to a safe basic level.

​

Once completing a minimum of 2 hours on the road, you will receive a DL196 certificate that will let you ride up to a 125cc motorcycle with L-plates.

 

This will be valid for 2 years, when this expires you will need to complete the course again unless you have gone on to pass your test.
