What is the CBT Test in London

C.B.T. stands for Compulsory Basic Training.

CBT was introduced by the British Government to require minimum standards of proficiency and safety for new motorcycle, moped and scooter riders.

CBT is a one-day training course designed to educate new riders on how to operate a motorcycle or scooter and to ride safely out on the road.

What do I get from a CBT?

A CBT certificate provides you with a two year validation of the right to use a provisional motorcycle licence, allowing you to ride a motorbike or scooter up to 125cc on L-plates.

CBT is a one-day training course that must be completed before you can be issued with a CBT certificate. It is a government requirement in order to ensure that new riders are safe and competent road users.

What does a CBT involve?

C.B.T. is divided into 5 elements:

CBT on the roadA. Introduction including a chat on helmets and safety clothing plus eyesight check.

B. Off road Training including machine controls, stand use, basic maintenance, wheeling the machine and starting/stopping the engine

C. Off road training including pulling away and stopping, breaking, gear changing, observation, slow speed riding, u-turn, emergency stop and OSM PSL (left and right turn procedure)

D. On road training here we cover thirteen subjects including road position, speed, anticipation, Highway Code and attitude.

E. Finally we go out on road for two hours and will learn how to deal with roundabouts, junctions, traffic lights, gradients, bends, obstructions, pedestrian crossings and we will do another u-turn/emergency stop on road.

You are expected to be able to do everything in each CBT element before proceeding to the next one!
