What
does CBT involve?
The
CBT course involves five elements:
A.
introduction
B.
practical on-site training
C.
practical on-site riding
D.
practical on-road training
E.
practical on-road riding
The
five elements have to be completed in sequence, although the
order of the exercises within the element can be varied.
You will only move on to the next element when your instructor
is satisfied you have learnt the necessary theory and demonstrated
the practical skills to a safe basic level. Trainees
must, by law, receive a minimum two hour on-road ride in Element
E.
Certificate
of completion (DL 196)
When
all five elements have been satisfactorily completed, a certificate
of completion, called the DL196, is issued. This is a legal
document which validates the relevant entitlements on your
driving licence. It is important that the holder of a DL196
considers the following points:
- a
DL196 certificate validating a provisional moped or
provisional motorcycle entitlement lasts for two years
- CBT will have to be retaken if both theory and practical
tests are not passed within the two year certificate
life
- for
moped entitlement only, if you pass your car driving
test whilst your DL196 is still current or complete
a CBT course and obtain a DL196 after passing your car
test, the certificate is not subject to expiry, you
will therefore need to keep your DL196 certificate safely.
Please note that this applies to mopeds only, for riding
motorcycles as a learner the DL196 remains valid for
two years
Once
you have your certificate you are advised to take additional
training to pass your theory and practical tests and qualify
for a motorcycle or moped licence. You must take the DL196
certificate with you when you go to your practical test.
Where
and how much?
Only
instructors certified by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA)
can teach CBT at an approved training body (ATB). ATBs must
have instructors who have successfully completed a two day
assessment and have sites approved by DSA for off-road training.
The
cost for the course varies typically from £70 to around £100.
Most ATBs offer the loan of machines and helmets for the course.
The cost of CBT may be incorporated into the cost of a full
training course that leads to a motorcycle test.
