CBT Training
In 1990, the government introduced the CBT (compulsory basic training course)
to reduce the number of incidents involving scooter and motorcyclists. The
one day course equips you with the basic skills required to ride safely on
our roads.
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
