CBT
CBT
Compulsory Basic Training or CBT is where it all starts, this course is designed to help people get familiar with motorcycles and show you how to ride them safely on the road, it is a common misconception that CBT is a test, it is not a test it is a safety course that is usually completed in one days training, but can take longer.
Click HERE for a DVSA YouTube video clip on CBT.
You will need to have (and bring with on the day of your CBT) a valid UK driving licence with provisional motorcycle entitlement, a UK licence check code or have sent a check code to us prior to your training day.
Wear at least denim jeans, and sensible motorcycle attire, you will not be able to train with us if you arrive in tracksuit bottoms, leggings, shorts, laced footwear, a skirt or any clothing that exposes skin.
DAS
DAS
Direct Access Scheme or DAS is the motorcycle test, it is split into two parts, Mod1 which is off road skills, click HERE to watch a DVSA video on Mod1.
The second part of your test is Mod2, this is the on road part of your test, click HERE to watch a DVSA video on Mod2.
You must have a valid UK licence CBT and theory test before you can sit Mod1 and you must have passed Mod1 before you can attempt Mod2.
You must be between 17 & 19 to do the DVSA A1 test, A1 is for 125cc motorcycles.
You must be at least 19 years old to do the A2 test, A2 is a restricted full size machine, if you do the A2 you can take the full A test for an unrestricted motorcycle at 21.
If you want an unrestricted motorcycle licence and you have not passed the A2 test you will have to be over the age of 24, all these tests are exactly the same, it depends on motorcycle size and your age which one you can attempt.
