We offer CBT, 125 Lessons, Direct Access, Intensive courses, Skills, Advanced and Enhanced Rider Scheme. . .

All training courses are run 2:1        Two customers to one Instructor, so no large groups!!!

We do not apply any surcharge for payments made by credit cards

Right, lets start from the very beginning...


The law requires that all learner riders complete a CBT course before riding a machine on the road and this must be completed before taking a full licence test

The CBT. . .

The CBT is designed to equip the new rider with the basic knowledge and skills of machine control and a minimum roadwork session of two hours accompanied road riding before venturing out on their own.

The course is a minimum of 1 day but may take longer to bring the rider up to standard. No extra charge for training will apply only additional hire if required.

The course will be run on a 2:1 pupil to Instructor ratio

The course covers every aspect of riding a machine, here is a brief summary :

Off Road section:

  • Eyesight test and safety talk
  • Learning the daily and weekly checks and machine controls
  • Pull away and stop under control
  • Left and right turns
  • Slow riding
  • Figure of eight
  • Contolled stop
  • important talk on road safety and what is expected on the road

On Road section:

Minimum of two hours road work to make sure competent on the road, this will cover

  • Roundabouts
  • Traffic Lights
  • Junctions
  • Pedestrian Crossings
  • Hills
  • Bends
  • General riding and road conditions

Once the standard is achieved a CBT certificate (DL196) will be issued, this will be valid for two years

If you passed a car test before 1st February 2001, you are automatically entitled to ride a moped - 50cc without L'plates and without taking a CBT. To ride a larger machine up to 125cc you will require a CBT.

If you passed a car test on or after the 1st February 2001, you will still receive a full moped entitlement, but will need to complete a CBT course before riding on the road.

After CBT. . .

Once a CBT certificate has been issued the options are:

*   To take a full license test

*  To ride a machine on the road with L'plates, then re-take the CBT every two years

TO GET A FULL MOTORCYCLE LICENCE YOU WILL NEED TO DO: CBT, MOTORCYCLE THEORY TEST, MODULE 1 AND MODULE 2

Motorcycle Theory Test:  PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU BOOK YOUR MOTORCYCLE THEORY TEST THROUGH THE DSA (Driving Standards Agency) OTHER WEBSITES CHARGE MORE:  To take a full license test you must have passed a Motorcycle Theory Test.  This is a multiple choice test, you will be given 50 questions you must get 43 to pass. you are given a question that has four possible answers, you must choose the correct one.  The second part of the test is a Hazard perception test.  A clip is played and you must spot the hazard.  Once you have passed this the certificate is valid for two years.  The Cost is £31.00. To book this phone the Driving Standards Agency on 0300 200 1122 or go to www.direct.gov.uk/booktheorytest    You will need your driving licence number and a credit/debit card to book.

From CBT training continues on a 125cc machine until good standard is reached, this can be achieved in 3-hour lessons or an intensive course.   We offer other lessons as well as the ones listed, if you have any requirements please contact us as we are very flexible.

***An idea of the training course structure would be : CBT, Motorcycle theory, 125cc 3-hour lesson & when ready move on to 500cc if required  Module 1 practice lesson, Module 1 test and Module 2 test.  The overall cost would depend on how many lessons you require. *****

We run intensive courses for people who have lots of experience of riding .  Intensive courses will be tailor-made for each persons requirements. The best way to advise you of how much you would require would be to either take your CBT or come a long for a free 1-hour session. 

If you have limited experience or never rideen before, it's best to book your CBT, or if you have your CBT, book a 3-hour lesson, from there we can arrange your training course.  This can include days of training from 9am to 4pm.

Please contact us for details or to arrange CBT or free 1-hour session.

Tests: Please be aware that if you book Module 1 and Module 2 tests within 5 days of each other and you fail Module 1, you will lose your Module 2 test fee and possibly the motorcycle hire fee, if booked.


If you are not sure which course would be suitable, you can take your CBT and then the Instructor can advise you.

If you take a full 50cc moped test you will be able to remove the L'plates and carry a pillion.

if you take a full test on 125cc motorcycle you will have a restricted licence for 2 years, this is a machine no more than 33bhp.  If you are under 21 years old this is the route you can take.  After the restricted period you can then ride any size bike with no further test.

If you are 21 or over you can take a full test on a 47bhp machine (we use 500cc) once you have passed this test you can then ride any size machine with no restrictions

Tests: Please be aware that if you book Module 1 and Module 2 tests within 5 days of each other and you fail Module 1, you will lose your Module 2 test fee and possibly the motorcycle hire fee, if booked.
