CBT TO FULL TEST - A2 STANDARD LICENCE (RESTRICTED)

The CBT is normally the first day of any course to get you out onto the road on "L" plates and then further training is undertaken to take you up to full test standard.

If you are under 21 you have to take the A2 Standard licence. This means that you will take your test on a 125cc motorcycle. Once you pass the practical test on the 125cc you are restricted on power output for a period of 2 years. You are allowed to ride any bike up to 33bhp or less than 25kw. This is roughly equivalent to a 250cc machine but you can buy a bigger bike and get a restrictor kit fitted to the engine. This will have to be done by a garage normally as your insurance company will want to see the certificate of fitment to prove the bike has been restricted.

We run courses from a one - day super course (for people who are very proficient on a motorcycle already and already have a valid CBT Certificate), up to a 6 day course designed for a complete beginner to motorcycles. During the course you will take the Modular 1 and Modular 2 tests.

When working out which course will suit you best it is best to speak to us at the office and we can advise you as to the right course for you as all courses are tailor made to suit you. The courses are designed for the practical test to be a the end of the last day of training to give you your full days worth but we can also arrange morning tests and half days.

We also provide a free assessment lesson for people holding a current CBT certificate - this is perfect if you are not sure which course will be best for you as after we have seen you ride we can be very accurate about which course will be best for you to pass 1st time.
