Frequently asked questions
CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) is a mandatory course for anyone in the UK who wants to ride a motorcycle or scooter up to 125cc. You must complete it before riding on public roads with a provisional licence. Most new riders aged 16 and over are required to take this course.
At Universal MCT, we provide all the essential safety gear for your training day, including:
Motorcycle or scooter
Helmet
Protective jacket
Gloves
Hi-vis vest
Please wear sturdy boots that cover your ankles. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us before your course date.
No, you don’t need your own motorcycle. We provide well-maintained bikes suitable for CBT. However, if you already own a road-legal motorcycle or scooter, you’re welcome to use it — just ensure it’s insured, taxed, and MOT-compliant (if applicable).
The CBT typically takes one full day to complete, from morning until late afternoon. However, if additional time is needed for performance, safety or confidence reasons, you may be asked to return for further training at an extra cost.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
A1 Licence: From age 17. Ride motorcycles up to 125cc (max 11kW).
A2 Licence: From age 19. Ride bikes up to 35kW (restricted power).
DAS / Category A Licence: From age 24 (or 21 if progressing from A2). Ride any motorcycle, with no power restrictions.
