We offer a package for all your Motorcycle Training needs.
From a taster lesson to a Learner CBT through to a Direct Access Course and a full UK Licence to a Refresher Course for those of you wanting to get back into biking. These courses are all offered at Hales branches. 

A brief explanation of licensing requirements:

  • To obtain a licence, forms are available at most Post Offices and www.dvla.gov.uk

  • At 16 you can ride a moped up to 50cc after passing a CBT(compulsory basic training) course. You must display L-plates and are not allowed to carry a pillion passenger.

  • At 17 you can then ride a motorcycle up to 125cc.

  • Riders holding a full car licence issued before 01/02/2001 are permitted to ride a 50cc moped on the road without taking a CBT. With a CBT, they can ride up to 125cc. Full car licence holders issued on or after 01/02/2001 must complete a CBT for both a 50cc moped and a 125cc motorcycle.

  • A CBT certificate is valid for two years.

  • The CBT will have to be retaken if both theory and practical tests are not passed within two years.

  • Once you have successfully completed CBT, and have your certificate (DL 196), you can carry on to take additional training to pass your test and qualify for a full motorcycle licence. You will also be required to take a theory test.

  • Riders under the age of 21 are not permitted to ride a motorcycle with more than 33 bhp, and are required to take the Standard Test on a 125cc motorcycle. They must then wait 2 years before riding an unrestricted bike.

  • Anyone over the age of 21 may take the Standard Test (and be subject to the two year restriction) or take a Direct Access test on a 500cc motorcycle, when they are permitted to ride any bike.

We can provide the CBT training and we have the Written Theory test on our school computers for students to practice. The amount of training required to pass the Practical test varies from person to person, so we offer a range of courses - from a 1 day refresher, through to a 4 day intensive training course.  For this reason we can offer a free assessment, so we can taylor the course to suit your needs.  Please ring the Hales branch on 01508 549300 for more details, or email suzuki@cjball.com
