What exactly is a CBT Birmingham?
Anyone who wants to ride a motorcycle on the public roads needs to take a CBT Birmingham, (Compulsory Basic Training). This training was introduced in the early 1990’s, due to the high accident rate of learner riders. Prior to the CBT Birmingham, you could simply get on a moped or motorcycle as long as it was under 125cc and drive anywhere except for the motorways providing you had a provisional license. When you take a CBT Birmingham it means going on a course that is initially not on the public roads and involves a series of training exercises. The result is that when you go on the road for the first time, you will be much better prepared.
What are the different parts to a CBT Birmingham?
There are a few elements to a CBT Birmingham. Firstly there will be a basic introduction and equipment briefing, followed by machine familiarisation. This is important so that you know what you are dealing with. After that there is practical on-site training and practical on-site riding so that you get used to actually riding the motorcycle. You can then use your newly found skills with going on public roads with practical on-road training and practical on-road riding. Once you have completed these tasks successfully you are able to ride on the road with an L plate. Once you have you CBT Birmingham, there are still further tests to take to get a full licence which you have to take within a certain amount of time.
