1. Course Fees and Payment
The cost of the CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) course is £205. A £105 deposit is required at the time of booking, with the remaining £100 payable on the day of training.
Cancellations require a minimum of two working days’ notice. If you cancel within this period, the deposit is non-refundable.
2. Completion of CBT
The CBT course is not a certificate of attendance. You must complete all elements of the training in the correct order and to a safe standard.
If you are unable to pass Element C (off-road training) and therefore cannot progress to the road ride, the training will end, and any remaining fees will be forfeited.
The cut-off for Element C is 1:00 PM to ensure enough time to complete the remaining stages.
If you do not complete training on the day, you may return for a full day at a discounted rate of £175.
Tip: If you’re a total beginner or have no road experience, we recommend using an automatic moped to improve your chances of success.
3. Balance and Height Requirements
You must be able to balance on a bicycle and reach the ground comfortably while seated on the training bike.
If you’re unsure whether your height is suitable, we strongly recommend visiting us before booking.
If you’re unable to ride a pushbike or your height poses a safety issue, the training will be cancelled and fees will not be refunded.
4. Highway Code Requirement
While no formal theory test is required, a working knowledge of the Highway Code is essential.
To take part in the road ride, you must have either:
– Passed a car or motorcycle theory test, or
– Completed the Ride Free online course
Failure to meet this requirement will result in cancellation with no refund.
5. Start Times
Training begins at 8:00 AM, so please arrive by 7:50 AM.
We leave for the training centre at 8:15 AM.

6. Required Safety Gear
You must wear at least sturdy denim jeans (no rips) and footwear that covers the ankle.
If you arrive without proper gear, we reserve the right to cancel your session and forfeit all fees paid.
7. Driver’s License and Identification
Bring your photo driver’s license with you.
If you only have the old-style paper license, a valid UK passport is also required.
Failure to bring ID will result in cancellation and loss of your payment.
8. English Proficiency
DVSA rules require conversational English to participate.
If you cannot communicate clearly in English, or arrive with an interpreter (without prior notice), training will be cancelled and no refund will be given.
