CBT courses cost from £100** and run seven days a week, starting at 0830, and are usually completed in a single day. It is not a test, but an assessment of competence and ability. You must satisfy your instructor that you are safe and competent enough to be allowed on the road alone without endangering yourself or other roads users, and he will issue your DL196 certificate. To read the CBT syllabus click here.

We will also guarantee to do your CBT on your 16th Birthday if you book with two weeks' notice.

NB ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE BOTH PARTS OF THEIR LICENCE IN THEIR HANDS TO TRAIN. THIS IS A LEGAL & INSURANCE REQUIREMENT AND THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.

Upon completion of all elements of CBT, you will be allowed to ride any bike/scooter up to a maximum of 125cc [50cc if you are under 17] for two years, on L-plates and with learner restrictions, after which the certificate expires.

CBT candidates do not need to take a Motorcycle Theory Test unless they are preparing to do a Practical Test at a later date.

The price includes the loan of all equipment, full damage waiver insurance, bike hire for the day, and a DL196 certificate. Students wishing to use their own bike are entitled to a £20 discount on the course price. Students' machines must be road-legal, and have all the relevant legal documentation and must be insured for the student to train under instruction.

If a student is unable to complete the off-road elements of the course successfully by 1230 and is therefore not ready to go onto the road, they will be asked to return for further tuition on another day, at a reduced cost of £70. Further off-road training may be available in the afternoon subject to staff availability.

CBT is available 7 days a week starting at 0830, and finishing around 1700.

NEW - POST CBT TRAINING Students wishing to increase their knowledge and boost their confidence can book a 3-hour group training session using their own bike for £50. With a maximum of three students per group, this is an invaluable way to increase your knowledge and experience at the hands of a qualified instructor.

Before starting any full licence course, candidates must have completed and passed the Motorcycle Theory Test, which can be booked by us on your behalf. There must be a minimum 10 working days between your Theory Test and the start of your training to allow for the possibility of a fail and retest. The Motorcycle Theory Test is NOT the same as the Car Theory Test.

Note we can offer individually-designed courses to fit around work and play - call for details and prices.

On full licence courses we will endeavour to supply the same instructor for the duration of your course. However we cannot guarantee this, therefore students must produce their valid UK licence plus valid CBT certificate on every training day. These documents can be stored in our office during your course.

All training sessions after CBT are intensive sessions comprising four hours on the machine, beginning at 0830 or 1300. In our experience anything longer is counter-productive as there is a limit to the amount any student can do in a single day, and after four hours students' concentration levels dip dramatically, not to mention those aching muscles!

Note that an extra session between the tests can be booked and then removed if not required with no penalty.

Made-to-measure sessions can also be created around a student's timetable, enabling them to be flexible with their training and times.

This course enables the candidate to ride ANY motorcycle once they have passed their test. Candidates must be at least 21 years old and hold a current Theory Test pass.

This course can run over 4, 5 or 6 sessions depending on experience and confidence. Non-consecutive courses are advised for students who are unsure of their ability, who may need an extra session inserted into their course. Students with only previous automatic experience will be required to do CBT again to learn the mechanics of the gearchange.

Extra sessions can be scheduled within the course if necessary.

This course is for holders of a restricted full licence, who are over 21 years of age and do not want to wait for the 2-year restriction to be lifted.

This course are usually held on the final 3 or 4 sessions of a Direct Access course, depending on ability.

This course enables the candidate to ride any bike with a max power output of 33bhp for two years, after which the restriction is lifted automatically.

This course is identical in structure to the Direct Access Course and is usually done over a 4 or 5 sessions [if CBT is required]. Students with a valid CBT certificate can usually do a 4-session course, all on a 125cc geared machine or automatic scooter, using our machines or their own.

Want to book your own test and use your own bike, but need a little brush up beforehand? No problem! We can offer various sessions geared to your own experience - call for details

Course prices do not include Theory or Practical Test fees. Practical Tests are booked on your behalf automatically. We usually have a selection of Theory Test slots available, or you can book your own theory test online click here.

Theory test - £31.00

Practical test - Module #1 - £15.50, Module #2 - £75

We do not object if a student wishes to use their own bike for the CBT or 125cc training, though our 125cc and 500cc bikes are chosen to make the transition from one to the other as easy as possible. All students must do their 500cc training on our bikes.

Students wishing to use their own bike must have insurance, MOT and any other relevant paperwork with them or they will not be able to ride their bike on the road. In this case we will endeavour to hire one of our own bikes, providing there is one available on the day. In the case of no bike being available, the student will be treated as a having not completed the course and will have to return on another day for a charge of £70, and will not be entitled to a refund.

Many students find that, even after intensive training and a Practical Test pass, they are in need of a little extra tuition to gain confidence. Dale Young, co-owner of MKMT, is listed on the official DSA Register Of Post-Test Motorcycle Trainers, qualified to offer post-test training of the highest quality as part of the DSA Enhanced Rider Scheme, and can help guide the new rider through the various facets of road-riding to enable them to go out alone with confidence. For more information on the RPMT, click here. Upon completion the student will receive a certificate allowing them a discount on insurance from the major insurers.

There is also a large number of older riders who passed their test, but have not ridden a for many years and would like to gain experience on today's more powerful machines before going out alone. Our instructors can gear a session or full day around your requirements and previous experience, using your machine or ours. They usually operate on a 1:1 basis.

We also offer specially-structured courses based around commuter and motorway training. Each course is different, but could include a trip to Central London, dealing with, and filtering in, heavy traffic, and safe motorway riding at speed. These extremely popular courses are the perfect way to give the final grounding before riding to work for the first time after your test. Usually [but not necessarily] conducted on your own bike, each session is uniquely tailored to the your specific requirements. Due to demand spaces are very limited, so students are advised to book early.

Further training for various IAM and ROSPA courses can also be arranged.

To enable students on full licence courses to practice away from the eyes of an instructor, they are able to hire a 125cc motorcycle overnight during their course at a cost of £40 per night [£45 for non-students], subject to conditions and a £250 deposit, taken in the form of a guaranteed cheque or credit card. This includes third-party insurance and equipment loan. In the event of accidental damage or traffic violations the deposit is not refunded.

We abide by the Distance Selling Regulation Act which states any booking made by credit or debit card over the phone can be cancelled for a full refund within 7 days. Aside from that, the following applies:

Postponement or cancellation of CBT is only possible with 3 clear working days’ notice.

Postponement or cancellation of any part of a Full Licence course is only possible with 10 clear working days’ notice.

All cancellations and refunds are subject to 12.5% administration fee and will be paid by cheque. Credit card surcharges are non-refundable.
