To be eligible for a CBT course, you must be a UK citizen, at least 16 years old, and hold a valid UK provisional or full licence. You do not need to take the theory test beforehand or have any previous experience with motorbikes or scooters.
The price of a CBT in Barnsley and the surrounding Yorkshire area starts from £175. It’s worth shopping around for both prices and convenience, as well as whether the trainers provide all the kit needed on the day.
Once you complete your CBT, you'll receive a certificate allowing you to ride on the street with L-plates using your provisional licence for up to two years. If you are 16 years old, you can ride a moped or scooter up to 50cc with a top speed of 30mph. Once you're 17 or older, you can ride a motorcycle up to 125cc with a max power of 11kW and no speed limit.
On the day of your CBT, you can choose between an automatic scooter or a manual motorcycle, depending on what you plan to ride afterwards. If you want to continue riding after the two-year period without upgrading to a full bike licence, you'll need to retake your CBT.
Taking a CBT test in Barnsley typically takes 6-8 hours in one day. Despite the term 'test,' there is no actual test—just training and monitoring. If you train safely, you'll receive your CBT certificate by the end of the day.
The day consists of five parts, with four being off-road. The final part involves road riding under your instructor's supervision.
The five parts of CBT training in Barnsley are:
A: Introduction and eyesight check
B: Practical on-site training
C: Practical on-site riding
D: Practical on-road training

Once your trainer is satisfied with your progress in each section, you'll move on to the next. After completing all five parts, you'll receive your CBT certificate, allowing you to ride legally. If you don't meet the required standard, you'll need to book further training.
