CBT is a course of Compulsory Basic Training which must be completed before a learner moped or motorcycle rider is allowed to ride unaccompanied on the road with L-plates. There is no test involved in a CBT course but you will have to reach a good level of safe competent riding in order to complete the course successfully. The course is a full day of training and most people reach the required standard in that time, even if they have not ridden a motorcycle before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0You need to hold either a provisional or full driving licence, and be 16 years old or over.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to complete CBT if you want to ride a moped or motorcycle with an engine size up to 125cc (or if your 16 years old your engine size up to 50cc).<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0If you obtained your car licence before 1st February 2001, you do not need to complete a CBT to ride a 50cc moped but it is advisable. What does CBT involve?<\/p>\n<p><b>The CBT course involves five elements:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"font_6\">\n<li>\u00a0Introduction (covering legal requirements)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Practical off road training &#8211; This focuses on learning the motorcycle&#8217;s controls, basic maintenance, and understanding how to handle the machine.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Practical off road riding &#8211; This involves practicing essential skills like starting, stopping, and maneuvering the motorcycle in a safe, off-road environment.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Practical on road training &#8211; This involves a briefing on road safety, traffic laws, and practicing on-road riding skills in a controlled environment.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Practical on road riding (this must be at least two hours)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0You must complete all 5 parts to gain your CBT Certificate (DL196)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When all five elements have been satisfactorily completed a certificate of completion called the DL196 is issued. This is a legal document which validates the provisional part of your licence where motorcycles are concerned. It is important that the holder of a DL196 considers the following points:<\/p>\n<p>A DL196 certificate validating a provisional moped or provisional motorcycle entitlement lasts for only two years.<\/p>\n<p>For moped entitlement only: If you pass your car driving test whilst your DL196 is still current or complete a CBT course and obtain a DL196 after passing your car test, the certificate is not subject to expiry. You will therefore need to keep your DL196 certificate safe.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that this applies to mopeds only, for riding any machine greater than a 50cc the DL196 remains valid for only two years.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"section-full-width section-dark parallax-scroll\" style=\"background-color:#252525;\" id=\"foundwhatyourelookingfororneedmoreinformation\"><div style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/motor-cycle-training-yorkshire-04.jpg); opacity:0.3; filter: alpha(opacity=30);\" class=\"full-bg-image\" ><\/div><div class=\"section-boxed\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\"><h2 class=\"section-title\" style=\"color:#ffffff;\">Found what you're looking for, or need more information<\/h2><p><div class=\"services-wrapper services-icon cols-wrapper cols-3 pexeto-parallax\"><div class=\"services-box col\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rideto.com\/widget\/atb-rider-training\/\"><div class=\"img-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Calendar-Date-02-128-130x130.png\" alt=\"Book This Course Today\"\/><\/div><\/a><div class=\"services-content\"><div class=\"sc-wraper\"><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rideto.com\/widget\/atb-rider-training\/\">Book This Course Today<\/a><\/h3><p>Contact us and book your course today. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"services-box col\"><a href=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/contact-us\/\"><div class=\"img-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/telephone-130x130.png\" alt=\"Want More Information?\"\/><\/div><\/a><div class=\"services-content\"><div class=\"sc-wraper\"><h3><a href=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/contact-us\/\">Want More Information?<\/a><\/h3><p>If you'd like some more information before booking, then give us a call or drop us an email and we'll do our very best to explain in more detail what might meet your specific requirement.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"services-box col nomargin\"><a href=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/courses\/\"><div class=\"img-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/motorbike-Flat-Icon-128-130x130.png\" alt=\"Not The Right Course?\"\/><\/div><\/a><div class=\"services-content\"><div class=\"sc-wraper\"><h3><a href=\"http:\/\/motorbiketrainingyorkshire.co.uk\/atbtraining\/courses\/\">Not The Right Course?<\/a><\/h3><p>Not the course your looking for?
