Northumberland & Newcastle CBT Courses

( Compulsory Basic Training )

First Step into biking - the Motorbike CBT

The starting point for learners is the Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course, which was introduced in 1990 to help reduce the very high accident rate among inexperienced motorcyclists. The course is conducted by training organisations that have been approved by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA).

All riders learning on motorcycles or mopeds must successfully complete a CBT course before riding on the road. Also, with effect from 1 February 2001, all new car drivers who want to validate the full moped entitlement granted with their full car licence, must also successfully complete a CBT course.

CBT courses can only be provided by Approved Training Bodies (ATB's). To gain this approval ATB's must have Instructors who have successfully completed a 2-day assessment by DSA examiners.
