Compulsory Basic Training (CBT).
The CBT is one of the first legal steps, and must by law be taken by
any new rider before they get on the road using "L" plates. Don't worry
if you have never ridden before, as the course is aimed at complete
novices with no experience at all. Our instructors take you through
all the elements, so you learn safely whilst feeling confident
and relaxed.
This is a government designed course provided
by approved training bodies. Scarborough Rider Training is your locally
approved Government Training Body for Scarborough,Whitby, Bridlington,
and Malton areas.
It must be taken by any rider who wants to use a moped or 125cc bike
on "L" Plates. It is a set course of instruction and assessment that
takes the learner from the beginnings through to essential skills to
keep you safe on the road.
The course will include 5 elements and have a minimum of a two hour
road ride at the end.
The course can normally be completed in a day, but occasionally
the rider may require more training to reach the required standard.
On successfully completing the CBT you will have earned your CBT certificate
(DL196) That will enable you to ride your learner bike. The certificate
is valid for two years, in which time you will need to pass your full
test or take CBT again.
