Compulsory basic training (CBT) is a course you usually have to take before you ride a moped or motorcycle on the road. The training makes sure you can ride safely on your own while you practise for your full moped or motorcycle test. Get your full, unrestricted Category A motorcycle licence with us and have the freedom to ride any bike you like without having to renew your licence every two years as you do with a CBT.
With a 98% First Time Pass Rate we are one of the U.K.'s leading Motorcycle Training organisations. Compulsory Basic Training must be completed before a learner moped or motorcycle rider is allowed to ride on the road with L-plates. We've created a simple to follow diagram to show you the four different routes to getting your full, category A, motorcycle licence.

Had the absolute pleasure of being instructed by Karen on a back to biking refresher day, after being off the road/bikes for ten years. From the first call to their offices, to the day itself, I felt in completely safe hands. The whole service was very friendly and totally professional and I left the day feeling confident and well informed. I would not hesitate to recommend them and will likely return to book an Advanced training course at some point in the future. Thanks so much Karen! Hope to see you out on the road sometime (when it's a bit warmer!)

Absolutely Fantastic Team at William's Motorcycle Training, very impressed with the CBT Renewal Training 100% value for money!
From start to finish, Karen was continuously giving feedback to the other Trainee and myself, it's fair to say we both thoroughly enjoyed the Training provided, 5 Star very highly recommend.
Due to my experience with William's Training I will definitely be using them again to do my DAS.

I came to Mike Williams motorcycle training to do my cbt. Was trained by Karen very patient and did a very good job at teaching us all. Kathy made sure we had the right gear on and it fitted well. I went out on the cbt with john, on a 50cc scooter originally and he was very pleasant guy and even treated us to a coffee and food from the breakfast deli around the corner. Id highly recommend mike williams motorcycle training and i will be back to do my direct access.

After passing the most basic test 30 years ago in Cyprus I had a great 2 days with the very friendly staff at Williams for return to biking refresher training. Articulate, patient, professional, cool, likeable, witty - there’s not enough superlatives for my super instructor Karen - she’s fab! I will certainly recommend Williams Motorcycle Training - great reviews - they’re busy for good reason.

Recently passed my CBT with Williams - the training was excellent. Karen was calm, methodical and eloquent in explaining the technical skills and theory that made absolute sense on the road. A good sense of humour and constant support throughout made for a really enjoyable day. I look forward to going back for my A license in the near future.
Update, I’ve passed my Direct Access with Williams! Following an excellent experience during my CBT there was no doubt I would be going back for my A license. The Direct Access instructor John was brilliant, a wealth of experience and knowledge imparted

Had an excellent time initially on my CBT here after many years of not being on a motorbike. Did my DAS training with them which was top quality, with excellent advice based on experience and knowing how to communicate to all levels.
The property is excellent and very safe. Information and advice is clear, well presented and in a very relaxed… way.
Bikes are from 125 to 650 are reliable and chosen for ease of riding from beginner to the more experienced rider. I was fortunate in being able to do my DAS on the same bike as I was purchasing which was even better!

Just completed my CBT and DAS training with these guys and have nothing but good things to say about them. I’ve done around six CBTs previously and these are by far the best riding school I’ve used! Thanks to… Karen, John, Mike, Cathy and Jonny, for making my time there so enjoyable! I’ll be in to see you with my bike over the weekend! 😁
