Location: We run our CBT courses in Ashford, Kent, just a few minutes from junctions 9 or 10 of the M20 and just off the main A28 Canterbury, Ashford, Tenterden to Hastings road.

The Course
This is the starting point for everyone. Successful completion gains you a CBT certificate (also known as a DL196) which entitles you to ride low powered machines (50cc for 16 year olds, 125cc for 17 years and over) with L plates for 2 years.
There are 5 Elements to the CBT course which is structured by the DSA, these include classroom theory (but no written work!) as well as practical riding in our safe off-road area.
This is a course of continuous assessment with students only moving on to the next stage when they have satisfactorily completed the previous one.
So there is no test as such, but the course does conclude with a road-ride with an instructor in radio contact to ensure the lessons of the day are put into practice on the road.
When the course is successfully completed a CBT certificate is issued.
If you are under 17 years old, or if you only want to ride a 125cc bike and aren't planning on using motorways or carrying passengers then a CBT is all you need, and you don't even need to take a separate Theory Test!
For those going on to do a full course the CBT fee is included in the full course price.

Checklist:
Once you have booked onto this course remember to check the following before coming along...
Bring your licence (both the paper counterpart and the photocard), we cannot run the course for you without both of them. If you have an old-style paper-only licence please bring some photo-ID with you)
Wear jeans (or motorcycle trousers if you have them)
Wear boots (ideally motorcycle boots, if not then a pair of stout lace-up walking boots, but try and avoid steel toe-capped ones, please do not turn up in trainers or high heels)
Read The Highway Code, (it's only £1.99!), it not only tells you what you should be doing but helps you anticipate the actions of other road-users too.
A packed lunch may not be a bad idea as it is an all-day course.
