Course Overview

Our Pre-CBT Course, doubling up as a Taster Session, is your ideal first step into the world of motorcycling.

This course provides ample time on the bike, you’ll get 3 hours to develop your skills. This allows you to gain a true feel and start to be comfortable with riding, something that shorter taster sessions cannot offer.

This course has become a valued addition for your motorcycle journey. We have had customers travel from all over the UK to take part in our bespoke training plans. This is because of the thorough guidance that we offer to new riders.

Who’s It For?

This course is perfect for complete beginners with no previous experience, or for those hesitant about diving straight into a full CBT Course.

It’s tailored to provide a gentle yet comprehensive introduction to motorcycling. If you are apprehensive or nervous, this is a great way to start the wheels rolling.

You could give a Pre-CBT/Taster Session as a gift to a relative or friend. It will give them the ideal opportunity to see if they like being on a motorcycle before they commit to doing a full CBT course.

Our helpful saying is “try before you buy”.

What if I fail the motorcycle theory test?

Setting Solid Foundations

Many UK riders attempt the CBT unprepared. It is not a formality, just turning up and being able to ride.

When new and inexperienced riders are not successful, it often leads to additional costs and more time training.

The Pre-CBT Course aims to prevent this, ensuring you’re well prepared, confident and 100% ready for your CBT journey.

Make sure you have ridden a push bike recently, just because you rode many years ago does not mean you will regain balance that easily on two wheels.

Can I do more than one Pre-CBT Session?

Yes you can. It is very common for riders to undertake more than one session. This is because they like the slow paced guidance that is done at their pace.
