Frequently asked questions
Where can I find the Mod 1 & Mod 2 test guide, show me, tell me questions and DVSA test videos?
Everything is in our Motorcycle Test Guide: the Module 1 manoeuvring area with DVSA diagrams, the official DVSA Mod 1 and Mod 2 test videos, all 13 show me, tell me questions and answers, and pillion questions. Read the Motorcycle Test Guide.
Do I need any experience to do a CBT?
No. Most of our riders have never ridden before. We build your confidence step by step, and you can even learn on a manual bike with no experience.
What do I need to bring?
Your valid UK provisional or full driving licence (the physical card), glasses if you need them to read a number plate at 20 metres, and sturdy clothes, such as jeans, and shoes or boots that cover your ankles. Helmets, jackets (sizes S–XL), gloves, waterproofs and a hi-vis vest are provided free of charge at all our sites, and motorcycle boots and trousers can be hired for £20 when you book online, or £30 at the branch.
How long does CBT take?
CBT isn’t time-based. It depends on your ability and safety. Most riders complete it in one day, and it includes at least 2 hours of road riding.
What if I don’t complete CBT in one day?
That’s completely normal. It isn’t a fail. We’ll explain exactly what to improve and help you book the extra training you need so you’re safe and confident before you move on.
What can I ride after CBT?
A moped if you’re 16 or over, or a motorcycle up to 125cc and 11kW if you’re 17 or over, on L plates. You must pass your full test within 2 years, or take CBT again. Riding without a valid CBT certificate can mean a fine of up to £1,000 and up to 6 penalty points.
Can I use my EU driving licence?
An EU licence must be accompanied by a UK counterpart using the D9 form from the Post Office, or exchanged for a UK licence.
What if I can’t read the number plate?
If you can’t read a number plate from 20 metres, you’ll need your eyesight corrected before you can do the CBT. If your licence has code 01, wear your glasses for the whole course.
How much is CBT?
From £179 on your own bike on a weekday, £199 on a school automatic and £219 on a school manual. Weekends are £25 extra. See our prices page.
What is IMT?
IMT (Introduction to Motorcycle Training) is 3 hours of one-to-one training, at the same price as CBT. It can be ideal if you’re nervous or new to riding and would like some one-to-one time before your CBT. Book online or call us on 020 8012 7929.
How long does a CBT day last?
CBT days start at 7:45am (7am on Saturdays and Sundays at Chingford) and usually finish between 3pm and 5pm, depending on the road ride.
How many riders are there per instructor?
A maximum of 4 riders per instructor.
How many full licence sessions do I need?
At least 3 training sessions before your Module 1 test: Module 1 training, Module 2 training and one more of your choice. A typical course is 3 training sessions plus 2 tests.
