1. Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)
Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) is the start of any motorcycle training journey. You can choose to do it on a standalone basis, or it can be the first part of a Direct Access (DAS) Course.
This introductory course covers the basic theory and practical elements to riding a motorcycle. It’s important to note that it is not a test, however you must meet the required standards set by the DVSA in order to achieve your CBT/DL196 certificate.

You can take the theory test before or after you’ve taken compulsory basic training (CBT), but it must be completed before you're able to proceed to the Practical Motorcycle tests or attend a Direct Access training course.
