Information about CBT:-

CBT - Compulsory Basic Training. This is where you will learn more about Road Safety, the controls of a motorcycle and how to ride safely on the road. You will learn in our off road training area and later build on your new skills during a road ride with full instructor tuition throughout. A valid driving licence in your name and address is required to participate. 

Element A:
The 1st part of the course is theory based. You will be introduced to your instructor and informed about the legal part of riding such as MOT, insurance and licence requirements. You will also be told about correct clothing to use, how to choose a good helmet and the basics about learning to ride safely.

Element B:
The 2nd part is an introduction to learning the controls of a motorcycle or moped. You will be shown around the bike and learn about each of the bike controls. You will also carry out basic checks:- such as tyre pressures, filling with petrol & oil levels. Also taking the bike on and off the stand. Walking the bike and how to properly start your motorcycle or moped.

Element C:
Then using our purpose built private training area, you will learn how to move off safely, take correct observations and learn how to use the clutch. We will slowly build your riding experience from slow riding, up to figures of eight, right & left turns, and emergency breaking.

Element D:
After a break we are back to theory training on Road Safety. You will learn about how to stay safe on the roads. Many of the following aspects will be covered from using the Highway Code, to road vulnerability, rider visibility, defensive riding and your riding legalities.

Element E:
The final element is practical riding on the roads. Your approved instructor will fit you with a radio and introduce you to the roads. The road ride lasts for a minimum of 2 hours where you will experience a range of different road types and conditions going from quiet back roads to some more busy roads which require forward planning. We only take up to 2 people out on the road at any once. We don't expect you to be an expert, after all, this may be the 1st time you have ridden a motorcycle or moped, we are only looking for a basic standard where you are confident using the public roads safely.

​

WHO CAN TAKE THE DIRECT ACCESS COURSE?

You can take your Direct Access Course if you have ridden a motorcycle before and feel you are confident. If you are over 21 and wish to ride a larger motorcycle as soon as possible, then you can opt to undertake your Direct Access Test.

This test is held in exactly the same way as any other motorcycle test, the only difference being you must take your test on a motorcycle of at least 33bhp or 35kw. This will be a much larger and heavier motorcycle.

For riders who pass the Direct Access they can ride any motorcycle straight away. Many riders decide on the direct access test as they find riding a larger motorcycle easier to handle than a smaller or lighter bike. A valid driving licence in your name and address is required to participate. 

​

INFORMATION ABOUT D.A.S
Unlike some of the larger schools we try to do 1 - to - 1 training for the Module 1 and Module 2. However we may put you together if you were on the way to your test.
Before you start your Direct Access Course you must complete your CBT Training and have passed your Theory Test. YOU WILL NEED TO BRING THIS PAPERWORK & YOUR DRIVING LICENCE WITH YOU FOR YOUR TEST DAY.
 
Module 1 Test is off road manoeuvres where you get to demonstrate your bike handling skills, where as Module 2 is and on road test where you are followed by an instructor who tests your hazard perception, forward planning and general road skills and awareness.

​

EXTRA TRAINING:

Even if you have passed your Category A or A2 test but not ridden a bike for a while, you could benefit from by using our fully qualified instructor to build your confidence. Your instructor can focus on any aspect you like from intricate manoeuvres; general bike handling; cornering or moving to a new bike. A valid driving licence in your name and address is required to participate. 

​

WHO CAN TAKE THE ACCELERATED ACCESS COURSE?

If you turn 21 within your 2 year restriction period, for example, you may have passed your test at the age of 20. If this is the case and you now want to ride a larger motorcycle you can apply for your Accelerated Access Test.

The Accelerated Access Test involves taking your test on a larger motorcycle and if you pass you can ride any motorcycle. However if you fail you will not lose your restricted license, it only means you are still unable to ride a larger motorcycle.

​
