The starting point for all learners is the Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course which was introduced in 1990. The course is conducted by training organisations that have been approved by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA).

Mike Barlow Motorcycle Training has been approved by the DSA as an Approved Training Body (ATB).

--------------------------------------

All learner motorcycle and learner moped riders must complete a CBT course before riding on the road.

--------------------------------------

All new car drivers wanting to validate the full moped entitlement granted with their full car licence must complete a CBT course.

Introduction to the CBT

The CBT course covers 5 elements - A, B, C, D and E. These have to be taken in sequence. The whole course takes from 6 to 8 hours but can be spread over 2 or more days if you prefer.

You can hire bikes and loan helmets with intercoms from Mike Barlow Motorcycle Training.

When you've successfully completed all 5 elements you'll be issued with a Certificate of Completion of training (DL196).

You can now ride on the road on a learner legal motorcycle.

You can also now apply for the DSA motorcycle theory test and, if you pass that, go on to take the practical test.

After CBT there are other courses you can go on to prepare for the test.
