If you hold a provisional motorcycle licence or a full car licence with provisional motorcycle entitlement you must complete a Compulsory Basic Training course before you ride on the public roads. If you have a provisional moped licence the same applies.
A full car licence issued before 2001entitles you to ride a 50cc moped without a CBT
Your CBT course will follow a sequence of modules usually over one day (sometimes longer if required). You must complete all modules before being issued with a CBT Certificate (DL196) this will entitle you to ride your class of machine on the road with ‘L’ plates correctly fitted for a period of two years.

CBT Sylibus:
When you take your CBT there a few things you will need to bring. These are:
Your Driving licence - If you have the new photo card licence you need to bring both parts, that is, the credit card licence with your picture on it and the A4 counterpart that comes with it. If you do not bring both parts you will not be allowed to complete the course. If you have the old paper licence, you will need to bring photo ID to take the CBT, a passport is ideal.
Bring clothes suitable for riding - don’t turn up in shorts and a t-shirt, even if it’s a hot day. Also avoid wearing trainers or soft shoes. A decent jacket, boots, gloves and jeans are the minimum. We do have equipment available to borrow but these are limited so check when you book for availability.
If you bring your own Helmet, make sure it’s in good condition. It should be free from any visible damage and have a secure fastener. If it's a poor quality we won’t let you ride with it but we do have helmets you can borrow.
A packed lunch or some money to get some.
And remember it is a long day - So try to get a good night sleep the night before.
