Compulsory
Basic Training - CBT
The
Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course which was introduced in 1990
to help reduce the very high accident rate among inexperienced motorcyclists.
The
CBT course syllabus includes five elements that have to be completed
in sequence:
- Element
A - Introduction.
- Element
B - Practical on-site training.
- Element
C - Practical on-site riding.
- Element
D - Practical on-road training.
- Element
E - Practical on-road riding.
When
you have satisfactorily completed all five elements you will be
issued with a Certificate of Completion of Training (DL196). This
is a legal document which serves to validate the relevant entitlements
on the driving licence. It is important that the holder of a DL196
certificate considers the following points:
- All
DL196 certificates issued before 1 February 2001 are valid for
3 years from the date of issue.
- A
DL196 certificate issued after 1 February 2001 validating a provisional
moped or provisional motorcycle entitlement lasts for 2 years.
CBT will have to be re-taken if both theory/practical tests are
not passed within the 2-year certificate life.
- A
DL196 certificate validating a full moped entitlement is not subject
to expiry.You do not have to take CBT again if you hold a full
motorcycle licence and wish to obtain a licence for another category
of motorcycle.
Once
you have your Certificate (DL 196) you are advised to take additional
training to pass your tests and qualify for a full motorcycle or
moped licence.
