What You Will Learn
CBT is a progressive course consisting of five elements. Each element builds on the knowledge and practical skills learned in the previous one. For safety reasons, you must successfully complete each element to the required standard before progressing to the next. If you do not achieve the required standard in any element, the course cannot continue until that element has been successfully completed.
During the course, you will learn:
The basic controls and safe handling of a motorcycle or scooter.
How to safely ride and control a motorcycle or scooter off-road.
How to ride safely on the public road while applying the skills learned during training.

The decision as to whether a student has achieved the required standard to progress to the next element rests solely with the DVSA Approved CBT Instructor.
