If you’re interested in learning to ride a moped, motorbike, motorcycle or scooter then the chances are you will have come across information relating to doing a CBT or CBT Test, which is commonly used shorthand for Compulsory Basic Training. Despite the word test being used, it really is quite simple and it isn’t exactly a test, as the definition of the term perfectly describes what it is. To summarise, you’ll learn the very basics of how to ride safely on the road with your vehicle. It’s compulsory as it’s a legal requirement before you’re allowed to put ‘L’ plates on and start riding.

The idea of having to do training may sound daunting, although don’t worry as we’re here to help. There are a number of organisations around the UK that provide the training course, all aiming to help you pass with flying colours and be on the road in as little time as possible. The aim of our website is to put you in touch with the best learner rider trainers near to you.

As you can see on the right hand side of the page, we have split up the locations according to regions. After clicking on the appropriate region, you will be presented with a list of contact details for suitable companies. Once you’ve found a company you like the look of, give them or a call or drop them an email to find out more information on pricing and availability of CBT test courses.

On a final note, remember that any form of transport (especially on the public road) can be dangerous. There are a number of resources online which provide more information about this, however it is well worth reading more on places like the DFT about staying safe on two wheels. Their website covers everything from dressing safely and appropriately to keeping you up to date on which vehicles you can ride.
