What is involved?

All learner motorcycle and moped riders must satisfactorily complete a CBT course before riding on the road (phone for advice and exemptions). The CBT can be done on either an automatic moped or manual motorcycle.

When you arrive for your CBT we will check your licence (photocard & paper counterpart) and your eyesight to make sure you can read a car numberplate from 20.5 metres, so make sure you bring your glasses if necessary.
