COMPULSORY BASIC TRAINING (CBT)
All new riders have to undertake this course if they wish to ride a motorcycle or scooter.

The only exception would be a full car licence holder who may be able to ride a 50cc moped according to the age of his/her licence. Our courses teach you how to control a bike on the road. Providing you reach the standard required a certificate will be issued to you and you will be allowed to ride a vehicle up to 125cc with L-plates. Your certificate will be valid for up to 2 years after which you must re-take the CBT if you have not attained a full licence.
