Did you know that the full motorcycle licence practical test is split into two separate parts?
🔹 Module 1 – an off-road test carried out at a DVSA test centre, focusing on bike control, slow manoeuvres, hazard avoidance and emergency braking. 🔹 Module 2 – the on-road test, where the examiner assesses your real-world riding, road awareness, observations and decision-making in traffic.
Both modules must be passed to gain your full motorcycle licence. With the right training and preparation, they’re very achievable – and that’s exactly what we help our riders do every day. 🏍️
Thinking about going for your full licence? We’ve got you covered.

If you want to ride a motorcycle or scooter on UK roads, a CBT is where it all starts.
CBT stands for Compulsory Basic Training – a legally required training course that most new riders must complete before riding on public roads with a provisional motorcycle licence.
It’s training, not a test. The focus is on safety, confidence and learning the correct skills from day one.
What does a CBT include?
✔️ Introduction & eyesight check ✔️ Off-road training (controls, balance & manoeuvres) ✔️ Practical riding on a training site ✔️ Supervised on-road riding with an instructor
Once completed to the required standard, you’ll receive a CBT certificate (DL196), allowing you to:
Ride up to a 125cc motorcycle (or 50cc moped) Display L-plates Ride on the road legally for up to 2 years
Who needs a CBT?
✅ First-time riders ✅ Riders with a full car licence but no full bike licence ✅ Anyone returning to riding after their CBT has expired
At Universal Motorcycle Training®, our DVSA-approved instructors deliver CBTs daily across London, with a strong focus on safety, patience and real-world riding skills.
📍 Multiple London locations 📅 Daily availability 👨🏫 DVSA-qualified instructors

At Universal Motorcycle Training®, we teach riders that good PPE is just as important as good technique. When the unexpected happens, the right gear can reduce injury, improve protection and keep you riding.
Essential PPE includes:
A properly fitted, approved helmet Quality gloves to protect your hands and improve control A motorcycle jacket with impact and abrasion protection Riding trousers designed for crashes, not fashion Boots that protect your ankles and give solid grip
Wearing proper PPE allows you to focus on riding, not worrying about falling. It’s a habit every safe rider builds from day one.
Train smart. Ride protected.

Good riding starts before the engine is even switched on. PPE isn’t optional. It’s what protects you when things don’t go to plan.
At Universal Motorcycle Training®, we take protective equipment seriously and teach riders why it matters, not just that it’s required.
Proper motorcycle PPE includes:
Approved helmet – correctly fitted and secured Gloves – to protect hands and improve control Motorcycle jacket – with proper abrasion resistance Trousers – not casual wear, but proper riding protection Boots – covering the ankle, offering grip and support
Wearing the right PPE reduces injury, improves confidence and allows you to focus on riding properly instead of worrying about falling.
PPE isn’t about looking the part. It’s about giving yourself the best chance if the unexpected happens.

Emergency braking isn’t about panic. It’s about control, technique and practice.
In real-world riding, things can go wrong fast. A car pulls out, a pedestrian steps into the road, traffic stops suddenly. Your ability to stop the bike quickly and safely can make the difference.
At Universal Motorcycle Training®, we teach emergency braking properly:
Progressive brake application, not grabbing Correct use of front and rear brake Body position and stability Staying upright and in control under pressure
Many riders underestimate how much braking performance their bike actually has – or overestimate their own reactions. Training removes that guesswork.
Emergency braking is a core skill for CBT, Mod 1 and everyday riding. It’s not about fear. It’s about preparation.

🛵🕐 CBT can be completed in one day – but it depends entirely on the rider.
CBT is training, not a test. By law, you only progress through each element when the instructor is confident you can ride safely and under control. Everyone learns at a different pace, and that’s completely normal.
Some riders complete CBT in one day because they:
Pick up bike control quickly Stay calm and focused Have good coordination and road awareness
Others need more time – especially first-time riders – and that’s not a failure. It’s responsible training.
Rushing someone through CBT just to finish in a day puts them and other road users at risk. At Universal Motorcycle Training®, safety always comes first.
If you need more time, we’ll be honest with you and guide you properly. The goal isn’t speed. The goal is safe riding.

🏍️ 👉 Riders who ride through winter often turn out safer than riders who only ride in summer.
It might sound surprising, but winter riding builds skills that fair-weather riding simply doesn’t.
Cold roads, reduced grip, poorer visibility and unpredictable conditions force riders to slow down, plan ahead and ride with greater awareness. You learn to read the road properly, manage traction, anticipate hazards earlier and make smoother, more controlled inputs.
Summer-only riders often rely on good grip and clear conditions. Winter riders learn discipline.
That extra focus, patience and respect for risk is exactly what makes many year-round riders calmer, safer and more consistent once conditions improve.
Good riding isn’t about bravery. It’s about judgement, control and training.

⚠️ Is it dangerous to ride a motorcycle in London? 🏍️
London has a reputation for being one of the toughest places to ride a motorcycle. Heavy traffic, impatient drivers, buses, cyclists, road works and constant distractions can make it feel intimidating – especially if you’re new.
In this video, we break down the reality of riding in London.
London riding isn’t about being fearless. It’s about being trained, alert and prepared.
Whether you’re thinking about starting your CBT, upgrading your licence, or already riding in the capital, this one’s worth watching.

🛣️ Why is it important to know the Highway Code? 🏍️
Because it’s not just about passing your theory test – it’s about staying safe, legal and confident on the road. The Highway Code helps you understand road signs, markings, priorities and how to anticipate what other road users might do. For motorcyclists, that knowledge can be the difference between a near miss and a serious collision.
Whether you’re a new rider or returning after a break, refreshing your Highway Code knowledge sharpens your awareness, improves your decision-making and makes you a safer rider every day.
Ride smart. Ride informed.
