Compulsory Basic Training

Compulsory Basic Training
Students engaged in off-road training. In this stage of the CBT, the learner is acclimatised with bicycle manoeuvres and awareness before progressing to on-road training.

In the United Kingdom, the term Compulsory Basic Training (abbreviated to CBT) is a preliminary vehicular training course which must be completed by people wishing to ride a motorcycle or moped unaccompanied on the road[1], and remains valid for 2 years upon completion.[2] It was introduced on 1 December 1990 as a means of reducing accidents on the road caused by inexperienced drivers by reviewing aspects of riding both on and off the road with a qualified motorcycle instructor registered with an Approved Training Body (ATB).[3] If a full car licence was obtained before 1 February 2001 it is not necessary to complete a CBT course to ride a moped.[4]

A CBT allows a rider to ride a moped up to 50 cc with a provisional licence from 16 years of age, and a motorbike up to 125 cc with a full or provisional car licence from 17 years of age.

As of February 2011 learner riders in Northern ireland must complete the CBT as based on the U.K one.
