1. was this the whole CBT mate? and where was this at? im looking to start riding in the new year
2. I have watched a couple of videos on this because I'm going for mine after Christmas and this has been a real help for what to expect thanks you for this
3. Another money making scam, if they want you to take their test then then they should pay you.
4. I'm 16 next year and want to ride a geared 50cc (supermotard) and I was wondering would I do my CBT on a twist and go or a geared 50cc
5. How do you ask the post office to do this
6. I literally can't hear anything but wind
7. is this for 50cc?
8. Government to roll out CBT changes from December
   
   The Government is set to roll out proposed changes intended to ‘improve’ Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) over the next 24 months.
   
   The first changes will be seen as soon as this December, with a number of other improvements to be implemented across 2016/17.
   
   Last December, a report commissioned by the Department for Transport into the effectiveness of CBT courses recommended a number of changes be implemented in order to make motorcycling safer for new riders.
   
   A proposed plan was then outlined in March this year for public consultation over the following months.
   
   With the results of the consultation now in, the Government will begin to roll out the proposed changes later this year.
   
   As the law stands, CBT can be taken from 16 years old and once passed, a rider can ride a motorcycle up to 125cc on the road unaccompanied with ‘L’ plates for two years (limited to 50cc for 16 year olds).
   
   The changes come after statistics showed there were between 7,000 and 8,000 road collisions involving motorcyclists or moped riders aged 16-26 each year from 2009 to 2012. 58% of these incidents involved riders aged between 16 and 19.
   
   The changes cover a number of key points designed to improve CBT with the eventual aim of making young riders safer on the roads. The current changes will be made without the need to alter legislation, meaning some of the initial report’s tougher suggestions, such as introducing a mandatory theory test, have been put on the backburner for now.
   
   The Driver and Vehicles Standards Agency (DVSA) has highlighted eight steps to be taken over the next 36 months to implement the changes:
   
   1. In conjunction with the training industry, develop training materials to help trainees ensure they can obtain appropriate theoretical knowledge before starting the CBT or as part of the CBT course (Roll out from April 2016)
   
   Concerns were raised over the lack of theoretical knowledge displayed by riders completing CBT. Initial reports suggested the Motorcycle Theory Test, which is taken before the Module 1 and Module 2 practical elements of the full bike test, should be introduced before CBT. However, the DVSA has opted against this as they want CBT to appear as a progressive step towards motorcycle training, rather than an ‘end’.
   
   Instead, new training materials will be released ensuring a candidate knows exactly what to expect from a CBT course and obtain the necessary knowledge before they undergo CBT or even as part of the course.
   
   2. Improve and update DVSA website content so that trainees can access better information about CBT (Roll out December 2015)
   
   The DVSA is keen to abolish the attitude that CBT is a one-day course with a guaranteed pass. To do this they plan to better educate candidates about what to expect from a CBT course, starting with improved and updated web content.
   
   3. Introduce changes to CBT standards checks to focus on core trainer competencies of lesson planning, risk management and teaching strategies in line with the National Rider Training Standard (Roll out January 2016)
   
   There is currently very little in the way of ‘quality’ checks for CBT centres, by including CBT in the National Rider Training Standard the DVSA hopes to be able to maintain a consistent quality of CBT courses across centres.
   
   This will encourage trainers to operate in a modular approach and move away from the perception that CBT courses are done over one day. The DVSA is keen to move towards a client-centred training approach, with courses giving trainees as much time as they need, including emphasising that the two hours road riding is a minimum. An independent riding element may also be introduced.
   
   This will also push for centres to agree to not continuing with training should a trainee not show the appropriate levels of theoretical knowledge.
   
   4. Commence risk-based, unannounced quality assurance visits (Roll out April 2016, subject to the outcome of a pilot trial)
   
   In line with point four, the DVSA will introduce unannounced checks on centres to ensure they are operating in line with the National Rider Training Standard. Currently, there is no quality assurance testing for training centres.
   
   5. Make changes to the CBT certificate to reflect a course undertaken on an automatic machine and recommend that riders take further training if they want to ride a geared motorcycle (Roll out early 2016 subject to stock levels)
   
   One major issue highlighted by the review was that should a trainee take CBT on a twist and go motorcycle they were entitled to ride a geared motorcycle without the need for further training.
   
   While this can’t be changed without legislation, in the short term the DVSA will advise automatic-only CBT trainees to seek further training should they wish to ride a geared motorcycle.
   
   6. With input from the training industry, develop an earned recognition scheme to highlight those trainers who consistently deliver high quality training (Roll out end of 2017)
   
   In line with above.
   
   7. Explore how post-test training can be better promoted and delivered (Roll out April 2016)
   
   In order to get more people on two-wheels, the DVSA is keen to promote CBT as a ‘step’ of motorcycle training as opposed to an end. One thing considered was making repeat CBTs only valid for one year to encourage riders to take the next stage of their training, but nothing on this has been mentioned in the latest plans.
   
   8. In the longer term, explore opportunitiesto introduce legislative changes to the instructor qualification process to facilitate a separate down-training qualification. This may also provide an opportunity to consider other amendments to regulations, for instance a training route to progressive access, possible changes to the content and structure of the CBT syllabus and restricting riders who complete CBT on an automatic machine to riding only automatics.
   
   Long term changes are still being looked at. This includes introducing a more enhanced instructor qualification process. At the moment, a trained instructor can down-train another instructor to conduct CBT.
   
   Further legislative changes, such as the structure of the CBT syllabus and restricting riders who complete CBT on automatic machinery to automatics will also be considered

   Compulsory Basic TrainingAs a C.B.T (Compulsory Basic Training) is not a test you cannot really "fail" but you could fail complete the training necessary in order to ride to a safe standard (being in FULL control of the bike) in one day, so that you can be given a certificate to ride as a learner on the public road.
   This is especially the case if you have never ridden a motorcycle or scooter before, and even more relevant if the machine you wish to ride is manual (clutch and gears). Automatic scooters are inherently a lot easier to ride as they only have front and rear brakes and a throttle to cope with but that still does not mean that you will be guaranteed to learn to do it all in one day.
   
   We have put this page together as we really do appreciate that everybody learns at different rates and that anyone wishing to ride a motorcycle or scooter is made fully aware of all the facts and information before booking or taking any training.
   This is compounded by the fact that a Compulsory Basic Training Course is group based learning and there maybe 3-4 other people in your group who may or may not have ridden before.
   
   As a professional motorcycle training school (* A.T.B.) we are a commercial business just like the other 499 schools in the U.K. and whilst we do everything we can to group people of the same standards together for motorbike lessons, this is not always possible.
   Nerves, apprehension or even being unsure of the outcome can make a big difference to the effectiveness of any learning environment, especially one where you have to "perform" in front of strangers.
   
   Cycling ability
   You must be able to ride a bicycle competently with good control and balance before the start of the course and display good control of the cycle
   
   be able to demonstrate balance
   be able to ride one handed whilst making a signal
   be able to look behind.
   If you read the syllabus and approximate timetable on our CBT page, you will see that there is an incredible amount of information we have to make you aware of in the time allowed.
   So below are a few bullet points to take into consideration before booking or taking a training course.
   
   Learn the Highway Code! Read the online version here. It is very important that everyone who attends motorbike training already has a very good working knowledge of what is required of you to be a road user.
   If you have your own bike, make sure that you practice as much as possible first, on private land of course!
   If you have never ridden a manual bike with clutch and gears, get some private lessons first. ART offers New Rider Courses.
   Get a good nights sleep the night before your course.
   RELAX, you will take in more information and retain it if you are in the right state of mind.
   Remember to be taken out on the public road to complete Module E, you must first demonstrate that you are 100% in control of the motorcycle during Module C, as you will appreciate it would be wholly irresponsible, not to mention dangerous to allow you to ride on the road unless you are able to demonstrate to your instructor the skills required, and this will take you as long as it takes.
   Remember how long it took you to drive a car safely 100% of the time without having to think about the controls before using them? and thats well before passing the full D.S.A car test.
   
   If you are a complete beginner and have never ridden a motorcycle before and it is a CBT you require, we would suggest the following:
   
   Never ridden a bike before? Get some lessons before attempting a CBT.
   Take CBT safe in the knowledge you already have full control of the motorcycle (especially with clutch and gears).
   Recieve CBT Certificate (DL196) at the end of the day and then ride for two years on L-Plates. (no passengers or riding on motorways) this will
