Compulsory Basic Training on automatic or manual bikes, delivered by an Approved Training Body with your certificate issued on site.

What does CBT involve?

At Avsco Bike Training we are authorised by the Driving Standards Agency as an 'Approved Training Body' and we can deliver your CBT course and issue your certificate (DL196) on site.

  1. Documents and kit check

    When you arrive at the designated area your documents and riding equipment will be checked.

  2. Eyesight test

    A simple eyesight test follows, reading a number plate at 20.5 metres.

  3. Off-road training

    You learn the controls, then practise manoeuvres on our exclusive off-road site in Watford.

  4. On-road ride

    Once you are ready, your instructor takes you out on the road to show you can ride safely on your own.

Remember we are here to help, and we will do everything we can to make your new experience comfortable, educational and enjoyable. Never ridden before? Our Introduction to Motorcycling course is a great warm up.

Who needs a CBT?

You will need to complete CBT if you want to ride a moped (an engine not over 50cc with a maximum design speed of 50km/h, about 31mph) or a motorcycle or scooter up to 125cc.

  • Age 16: you can ride a 50cc moped (geared or automatic)
  • Age 17+: you can ride a 125cc learner bike (geared or automatic)

If you obtained your car licence before 1 February 2001 you do not need to complete a CBT to ride a 50cc moped. Please read our terms and requirements before your course.

Learn to be a safe and confident rider

At Avsco, we have a team of professional, patient and experienced instructors. With our help, you'll not only have the means to pass the test but also the skills to be a safe and confident motorbike rider for life.

Started on an automatic? A gear conversion course gets you riding a manual 125cc.
