Compulsory Basic Training (C.B.T) is a course for new riders wanting to ride a moped or motorcycle. It is a legal requirement, and must by law be taken by any new rider before they can ride a motorcycle or scooter on the road with L plates. The course is aimed at complete novices with no experience at all.
The Team Valley Motorcycle Training courses teach you all the skills needed to pass the full test and enable you to ride a large motorcycle. It is an all inclusive course that provides you with everything you need. Courses begin with CBT, then build on your skills so that you can progress to learn the motorcycling procedures needed to pass your test.
The five elements have to be completed in sequence, although the order of the exercises within the element can be varied. You will only move on to the next element when your instructor is satisfied you have learnt the necessary theory and demonstrated the practical skills to a safe basic level. Trainees must, by law, receive a minimum two hour on-road ride in Element E.

Jamie is a very special instructor; he is never afraid to be himself and is a man with a strong sense of integrity. I would never hesitate to recommend this school to anyone who is wanting to learn and make a friend in the process. Jamie is as a result, an excellent teacher.
I have passed my test, but I will return to drink a cup of tea with him in the future. This is not something that you can say about most training schools.
Be sure to ask Jamie about sports and the Gateshead community; those are probably his favourite topics.

Having always wanted to ride a motor bike i finally took the plunge to do my CBT at the beginning of July. In 10 weeks with a lesson every week I have gone from never riding a bike to passing all my tests under the expert tuition of Jamie. Down to earth, tells it like it is when mistakes are made, teaches you to actually ride a bike not just pass a test. Gives advice on bikes your thinking of buying from his experience’s over the years. And even though I have passed my test I still go back to see him and his trainers for advice. Highly recommended, now time to spend some more money!

I've just completed my CBT on a manual 125cc motorbike with Team Valley Motorcycle Training and it's been a brilliant experience. Jamie is a great instructor and has a funny, forthright style that takes the pressure off when you get flustered. That was perfect for me because I'd never even touched a motorbike before I turned up for training.
The morning started with a talk and detailed introduction to the bike controls and maintenance then we went got kitted up and headed over to a decent sized yard (former car park) to learn the basics. The pacing doesn't give you time to overthink, but it's

I decided in September that i wanted to go through my full motorbike test to cut my commute time.
I managed to get through my CBT, Theory, MOD 1 & 2 in under 3 months during the winter months. Jamie was spot on and tells you as it is, which i prefer as there is no beating around the bush.
Overall the service is great and decent bikes to learn on. Would highly recommend if you are looking to learn to ride at any level.
