This is a one-hour lesson for the total beginner/novice. You will be shown the controls of the motorbike (which will be supplied by us), and you will go on to riding it and changing gears. This will normally be adequate for basic familiarisation, and has the added advantage of letting you find out if you enjoy it before paying for a full motorcycle licence training course.

"CBT", or Compulsory Basic Training, was introduced in December 1990. Anyone with a provisional two-wheeled licence of any kind must take this course to validate their motorcycle licence. This training course will contain all the information necessary to pass the C.B.T as easily as possible, and should take around five hours to complete provided you are up to the Roadcraft standard.

 Roadcraft conducts the CBT from Tuesday to Friday from 10.00am.   Once achieved, the C.B.T is valid for two years and allows any motorcycle, geared or automatic, up to 125cc to be ridden provided the rider has reached the minimum age required.

Our 'unlimited training guarantee' is what has earned Roadcraft Motorcycle training its excellent reputation in Nottingham. You can choose to train without financial pressure (days/weekends) and we will stay with you until you get your full licence provided you turn up for your lessons. Bike-to-Bike radio intercoms are used on the road lessons to get you used to the examiner's radio on the test.

If you are aged 21 or over, you can skip over the 33bhp limit on 125 tests and obtain your full, unrestricted licence by passing on a 500cc motorbike. CBT will be carried out on a 125cc motorcycle, followed by initial 125 road training to allow you to gain confidence and experience.

The lessons take about one hour per lesson and are conducted during the day in the week, later on in the afternoon or on a Saturday. Once competent on the 125's (average of 6-8 lessons) you will progress onto the 500cc bikes and train until test ready.

On the day of the final test, Roadcraft will meet you about one hour early and take you to the Test Centre whilst giving you a "mock test" type polish up. We will wait for you whilst you take the test and follow you back to our shop afterwards. We call this a "pre-test"

Roadcraft have a fleet of modern Japanese motorcycles (125cc and 500cc bikes) which are available for you to hire in Nottingham for motorcycle training and CBT, to save you the cost of buying your own motorbike straight away. Third party insurance, petrol and helmet are included within the course fee.
