Course Details

The CBT course is designed to take new riders from not having ever ridden a motorcycle before to a state where they will be safe out on the roads, riding for themselves.

 

The CBT consists of 5 elements:

  •    Introduction

  •   Off road training

  •   Off road riding

  •   On road preparation

  •   On road riding

Introduction

In the introduction you will be introduced to your instructor and the course that you are about to undertake will be explained to you.  You will also be introduced to the various items of motorcycle clothing that you should wear and the items that you must wear when riding a motorcycle.  You may also get a brief introduction to the Highway Code at this stage and the instructor may wish to gauge what knowledge you have to begin with.

Off road training

In this section you will be introduced to the bike that you will be riding for your training in a relatively safe training area.  All of the controls will be explained.  You will cover some basic safety rules, side stands and centre stands, very basic maintenance and how to push the bike safely.

Off road riding

In this section you will cover pulling away and stopping, slow control, figure of 8 riding, U-Turns, braking, including emergency stops, safe road positioning, an approach to dealing with hazards and simulated junctions.

On road preparation

In this section you instructor will discuss with you many of the different road conditions that you might expect to encounter out on the road, they will cover things that you can do as a rider to make yourself safer in these conditions.  Aspects of the Highway Code will be covered in a little more detail and with relevance to you as a new motorcyclist. 

You will discuss the legal requirements that are incumbent on as all as road users and the ones that are particularly pertinent to you as a new learner rider.  You will cover particular hazards such as road surfaces and weather conditions and the things that we need to take account of before we even consider getting on a motorcycle, such as our health, attitudes and environmental issues that may effect us once we are riding.

On road riding

The road ride section will consist of at least 2 hours on the road with your instructor.  You will cover different types of road conditions such as junctions, crossings, roundabouts, different speed limits and roads of different sizes and widths.  You will get to demonstrate the U-Turn and Emergency stop in a live road environment and you will gain some valuable real-world road experience.

Once you have completed the 5 elements your instructor will discuss with you how the day went and if you are considered safe to go out and continue to gain experience out on the road on your own, you will be issued with a DL196 CBT certificate.

If you do not manage to satisfactorily complete all 5 elements in one day, your instructor will discuss with you what you will need to work on in order for you to satisfactorily complete the CBT and possibly discuss when you will be able to come back in to complete your training and gain your certificate. There will be a charge for any extra training required (Unfortunately our instructors do not work for free). The cost of any additional training will be discussed at the time of booking.
