Compulsory basic training (CBT) was introduced in 1990 to help reduce the very high accident rate among inexperienced motorcyclists. CBT must be completed before a learner moped or motorcycle rider is allowed to ride unaccompanied on the road with L-plates or D-plates in Wales. The five elements have to be completed in sequence, although the order of the exercises within the element can be varied.
Once you have your CBT Certificate further training is essential before you attempt your motorcycle tests. If you are engaged in the Direct Access motorcycle training Scheme (DAS) you will carry out your road training on a larger machine of 500cc. At Bikesmart we conduct this training on a maximum of two-to-one ratio, concentrating on teaching you to cope with everyday road and traffic conditions as well as preparing you to pass the riding test.
