CBT - Compulsory Basic Training Getting started, the law says:-You must hold a CBT training certificate before you can be a learner on a moped, scooter or motorcycle. CBT certificates are valid for 2 years, no passengers, motorways,trailer towing or riding outside the UK allowed. L-plates must be displayed front and rear. One exception to this rule is if you passed your UK car test before 01/02/2001 you are automatically entitled to ride a 50cc moped without L-Plates and without taking CBT (although for safety we strongly recommend that you do)however for motorcycles/scooters over 50cc and up to 125cc you will need CBT. Provisional licence - to ride 50cc mopeds and 125cc CBT is required Full Car licence after 1/2/2001 - to ride 50cc moped and 125cc CBT is required Full Car licence prior to 1/2/2001 to ride 50cc CBT is not required . To ride over 50cc up to 125cc CBT is required At age 16 a CBT certificate will allow you to ride up to a 50cc moped, A moped has an engine not over 50cc with a design speed not exceeding 50kph which is approx. 31mph From 17 years up to a 125cc 15bhp machine. What does CBT involve? The CBT course involves five elements: A. introduction The five elements have to be completed in sequence, although the order of the exercises within the element can be varied. You will move on to the next element when your instructor is satisfied you have learnt the necessary theory and demonstrated the practical skills to a safe basic level.Trainees must, by law, receive a minimum two hour on-road ride in Element E. We usually start our CBTs at 8.45am and finish late afternoon there is usually a lunch break which could be up to 2 hours on some days or on some occasions only a short break is taken during the on road ride element of the course. Remember to dress appropriately for the course ie jacket, long trousers, tough footwear. Please bring your own helmet and gloves if you have them, if not we will loan you ours Most trainees will use our mopeds, scooters or motorcycles and equipment but you could arrange for yours to be delivered if its all legal and insured. . Our CBT sessions are usually conducted on a group basis - max 4 students per instructor on the training site and max 2 students on road. For most persons completion of a CBT course can be achieved in one day, however you’re an individual so don’t worry if your struggling to get to get the hang of things. If you need to come back on another day to hone your skills you would be entitled to a reduced daily rate .We can arrange for CBT to be taken on a 1:1 basis if required see our personal tuition rates Elements A – D are site based and you during which you will be shown all machine controls & safety checks, learn how to start up, move off, slow ride and change gear, and to stop safely. You will also practice signalling and manoeuvring techniques and have a pre road ride briefing. Certificate of completion (DL 196) When all five elements have been satisfactorily completed, a certificate of completion, called the DL196, is issued. This is a legal document which validates the relevant entitlements on your driving licence.It is important that the holder of a DL196 considers the following points: · a DL196 certificate entitlement lasts for two years - CBT will have to be retaken if both theory and practical tests are not passed within the two year certificate life · for moped entitlement only, if you pass your car driving test whilst your DL196 is still current or complete a CBT course and obtain a DL196 after passing your car test, the certificate is not subject to expiry, you will therefore need to keep your DL196 certificate safely. Please note that this applies to mopeds only, for riding motorcycles as a learner the DL196 remains valid for two years You do not need to have passed a theory test to take CBT, but we suggest that you have a good read of a Highway Code book before you attend your course as this maybe your first time on the road! CBT PLUS COURSE Due to popular demand we can now offer CBT plus one extra whole day on the road to inspire extra confidence to tackle our busy roads, highly advisable for a novice rider. Your Licence In order to take CBT training or full licence testing you must be in possession of either a full UK car licence or a provisional UK car licence with valid provisional motorcycle entitlement (Category A) or provisional moped entitlement (Category P) It is possible to use an EU licence but first you will need to obtain UK counterpart (D58/2) showing provisional motorcycle entitlement this will then give you a UK driver number. You will need to phone the DVLA on 0300 790 6801 and request a D9 form, or alternatively you can download an application form here .If you hold a licence from outside the EU you may be able to exchange it to a UK licence if so you will need to obtain a form D1. For a list of countries which are able to convert their licences to a UK one, see this following page If you cannot exchange then use the D1 to apply for a provisional licence you maybe able to apply on line here http://www.direct.gov.uk PLEASE REMEMBER WHEN TAKING CBT IT IS A LEGAL REQUIRMENT TO BRING WITH YOU BOTH PARTS OF YOUR LICENCE (PHOTOCARD & D740 COUNTERPART) OR AN OLD STYLE PAPER LICENCE OR A D441 TEMPORAY LICENCE BACKED UP WITH A PASSPORT.
