From CBT to full bike licence: structured motorcycle training that fits your experience

Our training pathway takes you from the CBT yard to full licence readiness with clear, step‑by‑step milestones. We start with core skills and then build to test-level standards so nothing is left to chance.

Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) courses: your first step on the road

Begin with CBT to master machine checks, on-site control drills and the essential on-road modules. This course proves you can ride safely and independently and gives you a solid base to progress.

Direct Access training for A2 and A licences

Our Direct Access pathway covers both A2 and full A licence aims. We map the practice you need so each part of the test feels familiar and manageable.

Tailored courses based on your riding experience

We tailor training to your experience. If you already ride, we refine technique and polish roadcraft. If you are new, we build strong foundations without pressure.

  • Structured progression from clutch control and slow balance to emergency stops and advanced positioning.
  • Instructor feedback after each session gives actionable steps to improve before the next ride or test.
  • Plans link to Module 1 manoeuvres and Module 2 roadcraft so no test element is a surprise.

“Clear structure and personal feedback turn practice into instinct.”

How our lessons build safe road skills and lasting confidence

We design every session so skills grow steadily and confidence follows naturally. Each course begins with a short briefing to set clear goals. Then you refine control in a closed space before stepping onto local roads.

Lesson structure: classroom briefings, closed-space practice, and real-road riding

Briefings explain objectives and safety checks. Closed-space drills focus on clutch, throttle and low-speed control. Then sessions progress to supervised real-road riding with scenario work.

  • Scenario-based exercises cover multi-lane roundabouts, bus lanes and urban junctions.
  • Instructors use radios for live coaching and give structured feedback at stops.
  • Practice plans between sessions help make improvements consistent.

Core skills: observation, road position, hazard awareness and smooth machine control

We drill observation links, hazard scanning and correct road position so you spot risks early. Smooth braking, progressive throttle and clutch finesse are practised until low-speed manoeuvres feel calm.

Skill What we practise Test relevance
Observation Mirror checks, shoulder checks, scanning Module 2 road awareness
Machine control Clutch feel, throttle modulation, braking Module 1 slow control & Module 2
Road position Lane discipline, junction approach, filtering cues Module 2 manoeuvres

Result: a calm, systematic riding style that is safe, efficient and enjoyable, and that links directly to test readiness and real-world experience.

Test preparation, practice routes and optional skills progression

Clear test routines and focused practice make the final steps toward your licence straightforward and less stressful. We pair yard drills with realistic local routes so every exercise links to what examiners expect.

CBT success and Module 1 / Module 2 test preparation

We break CBT into three simple stages: on-site control, a concise road briefing and a supervised on-road ride. This helps you understand exactly what success looks like and how to prepare.

Module 1 practice rehearses slow-control, slalom and figure-of-eight work, controlled and emergency stops, plus hazard avoidance at set speeds until each move feels routine.

Module 2 sessions focus on observation, independent riding, junction discipline and speed management. Practice routes mirror common test areas so you build judgement under real conditions.

Optional introduction to trail riding experience days

Beyond the test, we offer optional experience days that improve balance, throttle finesse and line choice. These are run at Salisbury Plains, Kent, The Peak District and the West Pennines.

Guided green-laning is legal and suitable even if you don’t own a trail bike. The skills you gain transfer back to the road and support sustained progress—whether you choose Direct Access or a gradual route to a full licence.

Focus What we practise Benefit for test and road use
CBT stages On-site control, briefings, supervised ride Solid foundation for riding confidence
Module 1 Slow control, emergency stop, avoidance Yard precision under pressure
Module 2 Observation, independent riding, junctions Real-road judgement and safe choices
Trail days Off-road balance, traction, line choice Improved bike feedback and low-speed control

“Practical rehearsal on test-style routes makes exam tasks feel familiar and manageable.”

FAQ

What does Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) involve and how long does it take?

CBT is a one-day practical course that gives you the essential skills to ride on public roads legally on a 50cc or up to 125cc bike. It covers basic control, road safety, and simple manoeuvres. Most riders finish in a day, though the instructor may recommend further practice if needed.

Can I progress from CBT to a full motorcycle licence in Harrow or Barnet?

Yes. After completing CBT, you can follow a structured pathway: take theory and practical Module 1 and Module 2 tests for A1, A2 or full A licences. We offer Direct Access training for riders aiming for A2 and unrestricted A licences, with courses tailored to your starting experience.

What should I bring on the day of training and are helmets provided?

Bring your provisional motorcycle entitlement, driving licence, a valid theory test pass if required, and suitable clothing — sturdy boots, jacket, and gloves. We provide helmets and safety kit when needed, but you may bring your own if it meets safety standards.

How do lesson days typically run and what will I learn?

A typical day starts with a short classroom briefing, followed by closed-space practice to master balance and slow-speed control, then supervised on-road riding to develop observation, positioning and hazard awareness. Each element builds smooth machine control and confident decision-making.
