Location: We run our CBT
and CBT+plus 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. We are around half an hour
from Maidstone, Canterbury, or Folkestone.
Duration:
The CBT course normally
takes 1 day (there is NO further charge if it takes longer).
The CBT+plus
course has an additional two-hour, mainly on-road, session, typically
taken a few days after successfully completing the CBT.
Instructor to Student ratios: CBT
course maximum 1:4 for the first 4
elements of the day, maximum 1:2 on the road. CBT+plus
course maximum ratio of 1:2.
The CBT 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.
-
If you've never ridden at all before and want to do a CBT on
a geared bike we recommend our £20 Taster
Session as a gentle one-to-one introduction to biking before taking your
CBT.

Checklist:
Once you have booked onto this course remember to check the
following before coming along...
-
Bring your driving 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 a current, valid
passport as photo-ID.
-
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 £2.50!), 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.
-
On your CBT+plus course remember to bring your
CBT certificate as well.
