A CBT test in Swadlincote usually takes 6–8 hours and is completed in one day. While it's often referred to as a “test,” there's no formal exam. Instead, it's a structured day of training led by experienced instructors to make sure you're safe and ready for the road.
The training is split into five parts:
Your instructor will guide you through each section, checking your progress as you go. Once you've successfully completed all five parts, you'll be issued a CBT certificate, which allows you to legally ride on UK roads.
If your instructor feels you need more time to meet the safety standard, they may recommend extra training before signing you off.
Once you’ve passed your CBT:
If you’re 17 or older, you can ride a 125cc motorcycle or scooter.
If you’re 16, you’ll be limited to a 50cc moped until you turn 17.
There’s no need to retake your CBT when you move up to a 125cc - your certificate is still valid.
