Taking a CBT test in Durham 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.

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 Durham. 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.
