B3 Rider Training offers a complete range of training courses for novice riders and provisional licence holders:
CBT (Compulsory Basic Training)
CBT is your route to getting mobile on L plates. It's a legal requirement, and aims to give you enough skill and knowledge to ride
safely on the roads. It's our responsibility to ensure you're up to standard before you venture on the road, and you can be sure we won't cut corners that affect your safety.
- you will require a provisional licence
- minimum age 16 (moped) or 17 (motorcycle)
- our Driving Standards Agency approved CBT course will guide you through safety equipment, clothing and basic machine maintenance
before proceeding to our off-road training area where a DSA approved instructor will familiarise you with riding techniques
- Following a road safety briefing you will be escorted by your instructor on a road ride for a minimum of two hours
- provided you reach a safe and proficient standard of riding, you will receive a DL196 CBT certificate
- CBT is usually a one-day course. However our commitment to training means the course is tailored to suit YOUR ability and will be
extended at reasonable cost if you are unable to reach the required standard on the first day
DAS (Direct Access) Training
Direct Access is your fast track to full power machinery. Here at B3,
we take very seriously the real concerns that new riders have about riding powerful bikes, and we can promise you that your DAS course
will be in the hands of highly experienced and well-trained instructors.
When you come to B3 for training, we don't just teach you to pass the
test by riding round and round the test routes. Instead, your training will also cover the full range of riding situations you might encounter
when you pass your test and are riding your own bike. We'll look at open road and country lane riding as well as town centre traffic.
In the longer courses we recommend for Direct Access, you'll not only
cover the basic skills necessary such as slow control and emergency braking necessary to pass the test, you'll also learn good machine control techniques necessary to ride your own bike well out of town,
including such vital areas as cornering, braking and throttle control.
- you will require CBT and theory test pass certificates, together with a provisional licence
- minimum age 21
- as soon as your ability permits, training and the test will take place on a machine of over 46bhp (35kW)
- your DSA approved instructor will show you how to develop your big bike handling skills before taking your test
- after passing the test, you can remove your L plates, carry a pillion passenger and ride any bike with no power restrictions
- we offer 3, 4 and 5 day courses to suit your experience
125 (Restricted Access) training
Restricted Access is your route to a full motorcycle licence if you are
under 21, nervous about riding a big bike or learning on a budget. We'll cover much the same ground as on the Direct Access course,
but all your training will be on the smaller 125 machine. After receiving your restricted licence, you'll be able to ride a full power machine after two years.
- you will require CBT and theory test pass certificates, together with a provisional licence
- minimum age 17
- all course training and the test is taken on a 125cc machine
- after passing the test, you can remove your L plates, carry a pillion passenger and ride any bike with a power output not
exceeding 33bhp (25kW)
- this restriction lasts for two years, at the end of which you are free to ride any bike
- we offer 2, 3 and 4 day courses to suit your experience
