Coming from Brentwood for your CBT
Coming from Brentwood is a straightforward drive, but it pays to plan ahead: arrive in good time for the 7:45am start, bring your physical licence card, and car-share if you can, as parking at the hall is tight. On the road ride, our instructors help you build the observation and positioning you’ll need on the A1023, A127 and other busy Essex roads back towards Brentwood, Shenfield and Warley.
For the full licence we use four DVSA motorcycle test centres, all running Module 1 and Module 2 tests: Erith (about 11 miles from our West Thurrock site via the Dartford Crossing), Basildon (Paycocke Road, about 15 miles), Gillingham (Astra Park, Courteney Road, about 27 miles) and Enfield (Innova Park). We book your tests for you.
Nervous about riding? Start with an IMT
If you have never ridden before, or you’d like some quiet time on a bike before your CBT, book an IMT (Introduction to Motorcycle Training). It’s 3 hours of one-to-one training with an instructor, at the same price as CBT. Book it online or call us on 020 8012 7929.
