Compulsory basic training (CBT)
All learner moped, scooter and motorcycle riders must complete a CBT, delivered by a DSA approved training school, before riding on the road*.
CBT is a training day, not a test and gives you the basics to ride on the road unaccompanied. It can be done at age sixteen on a 50cc moped/ scooter or a 125cc motorcycle at age seventeen and above. All you need is a valid UK driving licence, full or provisional, we supply everything else. An understanding of ‘The Highway Code’ is essential, we will check your knowledge, if it is not to a satisfactory standard, the course will not go ahead and your fees will be forfeited. At Leeds Motorcycle Training Ltd, when someone books and pays for a training course they have entered into a contract with LMT (Leeds Motorcycle Training Ltd) to attend on the day or days at the required time agreed at the time of booking, and also bring a valid UK driving licence, full or provisional and be able to read a number plate at the correct distance. If they fail to turn up at the correct time or do not turn up at all without sufficient notice we operate a policy which is the same as the DVSA; the Government Agency that conducts testing and permits us to do business as an approved training school to teach people to ride, in that they will forfeit any fees they have paid.

EXCELLENT Based on 143 reviews Marco Sarussi01/08/2022 Great staff - David, Alan and Mike are a great team. Thoroughly recommend for CBT. Going to do my full licence with them shortly. Alex Ramsey23/07/2022 2 CBT's, training and successful completion of mod 1 and mod 2, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Michael is direct and factual about the courses on offer and the trainers are competent and efficient in getting you ready for and through your motorcycle tests. Highly recommended. Deb Midgley07/07/2022 Went to Leeds Motorcycle Training after last school seemed to use me as a cash cow, they were brilliant, very welcoming and happy to help, massive thank you to Michael, John and Phil, for their patience and getting me through both mod 1 and 2. Can't recommend them enough. Alex Beaumont11/06/2022 A Big 5Stars from me, 3 Cbts over the years. Now DAS passed Mod1 & Mod2 both first time. Thanks again to everyone for the training and help along the way. Nat Cawston10/06/2022 Incredibly grateful to Alan for his endless patience yesterday. I was so nervous in the morning I felt sick, having only pottered round a private car park on my Superlight under instruction from my husband and father in law. I was in a group of three with two guys who had both done motocross in the past so I was the only one who didn’t have a clue what I was doing but Alan (and the other guys on the course in fairness to them) allowed me the time I needed to get to grips with the bike and what I needed to learn. Alan’s training approach was easy to understand, thorough and very reassuring. The road ride was the most amazing experience and Alan pushed me to make progress, not dither about and enjoy it, which I did! After a welcome tea break at My Moto we set off back to the training school where I was presented with my lovely CBT ticket - yay! On the way home we rang up and insured my bike, called in at J&S to buy L plates and the first thing I did was get on my girl and ride to the local pub with my husband following in the car! Fantastic training school that I would recommend to anyone, particularly nervous Nellies like me, and once I have enough money I will most definitely be booking myself onto a DAS course to get my big girl license! Thanks again guys, especially Alan. Michal Wiacek20/05/2022 Did my CBT here and 5 day Direct Access training, Pass 1st time, much recommended place for your motorcycle training.
