Taking a CBT test in Blackburn typically takes between 6-8 hours, on one day. Despite often being referred to as a test, there is no ‘test’ involved, just training and monitoring. The day itself will consist of 5 parts, 4 of which will be off-road. The final part of the day will be road riding where your instructor will monitor you riding safely.
The five parts of CBT training consist of the following parts, in sequence:
Once your trainer is satisfied that you’ve understood the theory and shown the needed practical skills for each section, you continue on to the next section. Then, having completed all five, you’ll receive your CBT certificate to safely and legally ride around Blackburn. If the instructor feels you were not at a satisfactory level for any of the 5 training sections, you’ll need to book further training on another day.
After receiving your certificate you’ll be able to legally ride UK roads on a 125cc motorcycle or less if you are above the age of 17. If you are 16 you will be limited to a 50cc moped until you turn 17. At the age of 17, you will not need to retake your CBT to ride a 125cc motorcycle or scooter.
To take part, you must have a valid UK driving licence, UK provisional licence, or an EU licence with a UK counterpart licence number. Photocopies or images are not accepted. You should be able to read a registration plate from 20.5 metres, speak and understand English and the Highway Code, and be capable of riding an adult-sized bicycle. Additionally, you need to wear suitable clothing, including thick trousers (like jeans) and leather boots. Don't forget to bring your National Insurance number for a licence check.
