What is C.B.TC.B.T (Compulsory Basic Training) is a training and information course, introduced in December 1990 by the government to help reduce the accident rate of novice riders. It is a course to give a person the basic skills and knowledge to stay safe on the road. The C.B.T course is also in place to promote road safety but is also a legal requirement if you wish to ride a motorcycle or scooter on the public highway
Is the C.B.T a testNo! It is not a test, but an assessment of competence and a continuous assessment of ability. Most trainees wishing to ride motorcycles/scooters on the road must undertake this course and obtain a cbt certificate. C.B.T trainees must reach a ‘minimum standard’ to obtain your Compulsory Basic Training certificate (dl196). The instructor will judge if you are competent to ride unaccompanied on the road without instruction before issuing the cbt certificate.
