what you need to
know about our cbt course
Virtually everyone who intends to ride a motorcycle on the road must complete a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course. The only exception to this rule is if you plan to ride a 50cc moped and you obtained your full car license before February 2001. However, for all other motorcycles, regardless of engine size, completing a CBT is mandatory.
According to the law, all new riders must successfully complete the CBT course before they are legally permitted to ride a moped or motorcycle on public roads. This training ensures that riders have the necessary skills and knowledge to operate their vehicles safely and confidently.
