Compulsory Basic - Motorcycle

CBT Training

In 1990, the government introduced the CBT (compulsory basic training course) to reduce the number of incidents involving scooter and motorcyclists.

The CBT is not a test, it's a training course consisting of a number of theoretical and practical elements including a two hour instructor supervised road ride.

On sucessful completion of the course you will be issued with a DL196 certificate which entitles you to.

• 16 years old, you may ride a 50cc moped or scooter
• 17 years old or above, you may ride a 125cc motorcycle or scooter.

However the following restrictions apply:

• You must display L plate's front and rear at all times
• No passengers
• No motorway use
• A revalidation of your CBT certificate must be completed after two years unless you pass a practical motorcycle test.

Course Content:

• Protective clothing, helmet and gloves
• Scooter or Geared motorcycle
• Insurance.

The training takes place at our training centre at Mosshill Industrial Estate (MAP) and starts promptly at 9am and generally finishes at 4pm.

Unfortunately no licence no training.
