CBT Renewal – Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) certificate renewal

If your CBT certificate is still valid or expired within the last six months, we invite you to renew it at one of our six training centres across London: Alperton, Dagenham, Croydon, Edgware, Eltham, and Wimbledon. This renewal course is designed for riders who have already completed their CBT and wish to continue riding legally without interruption. While we will ensure that all required elements of the course are covered, we aim, wherever possible, to group you with other riders who are also renewing their certificates, or in similar levels of experience, wherever possible. This focused approach often results in a faster and more efficient training day. Whenever possible, we prioritise getting you on the first Road Ride, allowing you to complete your training promptly and effectively.

Booking your CBT Renewal

To ensure availability, we recommend booking your renewal course at least four weeks before your current CBT certificate expires. This will help you avoid a lapse in certification, keeping you compliant with UK law.

Why renewing your CBT matters

Renewing your CBT is not just a legal formality; it plays a crucial role in maintaining road safety. According to accident statistics from the Department for Transport (DfT), novice and CBT-level riders are disproportionately involved in road incidents. The absence of extensive training and experience can result in unsafe riding behaviours. At Universal Motorcycle Training®, we prioritise safety above all else. Our instructors, who are all DVSA-qualified, focus on reinforcing essential skills to ensure you remain safe on the road. Many of our trainers are also qualified in advanced motorcycle training, offering you the opportunity to refine your riding techniques further if needed.

We are confident that our comprehensive and safety-driven approach will not only meet your expectations but exceed them. Our clients’ testimonials speak to the high standard of instruction and customer service we offer. Don’t just take our word for it—read our reviews and see for yourself.

Course Fees

£195 (Weekday) – £195 (Weekend)

These prices apply whether you choose to use your own motorcycle or one of ours. If you bring your own bike, please ensure it meets the following legal requirements:

• Valid insurance for your motorcycle.
• Your CBT Certificate (DL196), even if it has expired (within six months).
• A valid MOT certificate if your motorcycle is over three years old.
• Your bike must have up-to-date road tax and display L Plates.
• The motorcycle must be roadworthy, and failure to meet these conditions may result in your training being delayed or cancelled without refund.

If you opt to use our motorcycle, you simply need to arrive with your valid driving licence and your current or recently expired CBT certificate. We will provide everything else, ensuring a stress-free and efficient day of training.
