Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)

The CBT is a mandatory course for anyone who wishes to ride a motorcycle or moped on public roads (unless you already hold a full motorcycle license). It ensures that you have the basic skills and understanding to ride safely. The course is divided into five key modules and should be completed within one day. A total of 12 hours is included in the price of the CBT to allow an additional session if required by the student to complete the course and as directed by the CBT instructor. Any subsequent training must be completed within 28 days of the original CBT course.

Novice riders with no experience MUST complete an ITM before a CBT.

The course is designed to ensure riders are comfortable and competent on the larger bike before progressing to the full DAS training.

After the 3-hour pre-DAS, the instructor will assign the rider to either the 4-day or the 5-day DAS course, depending on the skill level demonstrated by the student.

Pre-DAS takes place on the Thursday in the week prior to the start of DAS training and is included in the price of the 4 or 5-day DAS course.

CBT and theory test certificates are required prior to booking pre-DAS/DAS training.
