Once all five elements have been successfully completed, the candidate will receive a CBT certificate that validates their provisional licence, thus enabling them to ride on the road.

Before attending for CBT a candidate must have a roadworthy motorcycle, a provisional driving licence for the relevant group required and appropriate insurance cover. In addition, suitable clothing will be needed to complete the course, to include a motorcycle helmet (BSI or ECE approved), motorcycle gloves, a protective jacket, hardwearing trousers and appropriate footwear with ankle protection.

Candidates must study The Jersey Highway Code (which is also available from Parish Halls), and the UK Highway code (which is also available from bookshops), The Official DSA Guide to Riding – the essential skills (also available from bookshops or online www.tso.co.uk) and your motorcycle owner’s manual (supplied with a new machine or available from your dealer) prior to attending the course.
