Once completed we will issue a CBT certificate which will validate your licence for 2 years and allow you to ride up to 125cc on L plates for 2 years (age limits apply see below ) .
Completing this CBT course allows you to ride a 50cc (age 16) or up to 125cc (age 17+) Motorcycle/ scooter on learner plates, for 2 years, If you haven't passed a "L" plate riding test you will need to renew the CBT to continue riding on learner plates.
(Riding with a CBT you have to have 2 'L' Plates on view one on the front and one on the rear of your motorcycle/scooter. you are NOT allowed to carry a pillion passenger and you are NOT allowed on motorways.)

A GUIDE TO THE MOTORCYCLE LICENCE
This now appears to be quite a complex subject to get “your head round” but is actually reasonably straightforward and I hope to make it as simple as possible. It is all based around age limits and CC/BHP/KW limits. The manufacturers tend to use CC/KW limits, in the training field we tend to use CC/BHP much easier to understand (any manufacturers tech specs will include BHP/KW).
So here we go: Licence groups, this is what you can ride yourself on the road with (bear with me on this one!)
AM/P/Q: basically these are all 50cc mopeds: can all be ridden from 16 years upwards.
AM: speed Max 28MPH
P: speed Max 30 MPH
Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) certificate required: YES
Full car licence prior to 1st February 2001 (no CBT required if you have full moped licence, full car licence post 2001 CBT required)
A1: 125cc, max 15BHP (11KW) can be ridden from 17years upwards.
CBT certificate required: YES (by all riding regardless of car licence history)
That covers what you can ride on without an instructor and on provisional licence or full car licence.
Simply: 16 on AM (CBT see above)
17 on A1 (CBT required)
