Loughborough School of Motorcycling`s Price List for Compulsory Basic Training (C.B.T.)
Compulsory Basic Training (C.B.T.) was introduced back in 1990 to try and reduce the very high accident rate among new (And born again, for that matter) bikers.

What happens on the day of your CBT?
There are five modules that are conducted on your day of training. We recommend arriving with some snacks ready for a day of fun! Once you complete everything, we’ll issue you with a certificate.
The only thing we ask is that you take on board the information that we provide you and listen to what the instructors tell you during your training.
Element A- On arrival, we’ll get out the tea and biscuits ready to learn about motorbikes from a theory point of view. This ranges from clothing to general information on riding a motorbike.
Element B- Next up, getting your head around the motorcycle. You’ll learn the controls and get to grips with looking after your motorbike.
Element C– Ready to get on the bike? Now you’ll be able to get some practice on our dedicated off road training area. There are a variety of exercises that are undertaken to ensure you have control over the bike.
Element D– They’ll be a short break in which we’ll discuss what it’ll be like on the open road and the things to watch out for.
Element E– The open road awaits! Next, we’ll get you setup on the radios and take you out on the road.
