CBT

[biker_boy]

Want to get going asap and move onto my DAS, but obviously CBT is my first hurdle.

Do I go for 2 hours of lessons on the geared bike for £70 (initial price for first 2hrs, £20/hr thereafter) prior to the CBT, or just head straight into the CBT with the possibility that I might need a retest with additional costs?

I'm thinking 2hrs of training on the bike might give me some confidence as a complete newbie.

We have been over this Compulsary Basic TRAINING!!
T = TRAIN not test!
It is well scripted 'first lesson'.. DO as a FIRST lesson!
You cant legally do any road trainng until you have completed CBT anyway.
IF you don't progress sufficiently to 'complete' CBT in the original 'fist lesson' period, notionally 8hrs, you may need to return for further T-TRAINNG, Not repeat NOT a 're-test' T-Training.. got it yet?

Any training you do prior to CBT will be CBT training.. off-public-road, until you do the road section of CBT and 'complete' to be taken on the road or allowed ot on L's on your own.

It cat be anything but.

Logic says.. book CBT... do training.... if you 'complete' subject is mute. If you dot and need further training.. then buy the additional CBT training then.. when yu know you need it.

Ride THIS bit of road you is on, remember..

As tef has said the cbt is considered your first lesson, no need for any prior training, most places will let you redo at a later date for free, or even at a discount.

Look around a lot of places will offer to let you pay an extra £10-20 for a "Guaranteed pass" (I can feel Tef twitching at that phrase from here) which means if they decide you need more training after the first session there is no more fees on top.

[Rogerborg]

As above, pretty much. It's all training, just make sure that you're getting what you're paying for.

And don't assume that it's a 1 day course. It's until you've reached a minimum (and it is minimal) standard of riding, so speak to the test centre about the costs of extra days.

If they know that you're going straight on to DAS then they're more likely to give you a "pass" knowing that you'll be back to get more training the next day anyway.

Right, ok. My mistake. Thanks for the clarification.

I should have paid attention as to the meaning of CBT.

I'll book it asap and get cracking.

Don't worry about it too much, just take it as an introductory course to riding

Kid I did my CBT with had to come back for more training, it happens, but you'll be fine

2 people I work with passed first time without issue. Neither had so much as sat on a bike, let alone ridden one before.

Don't waste money, as said above...need Cbt to ride on road....do it, then come back and ask for further advice.
