What is CBT and Why Do You Need It?
CBT stands for Compulsory Basic Training. This is the first step for anyone in the UK who wants to ride a motorcycle or scooter. This training equips you with the foundational skills and safety knowledge needed for riding responsibly. At Suffolk Rider Training, we design our CBT course to help you master the basics, including bike handling and road safety.
Completing your CBT is a legal requirement for riding a motorcycle or moped up to 125cc on UK roads. After successfully completing the course, you’ll receive a CBT Certificate, valid for two years. This allows you to ride solo with L plates, provided you don’t carry passengers.
