What to Expect on Your CBT Day: A Guide for First-Timers

The thought of completing your CBT might seem daunting, especially if you’re new to riding. However, the day is structured to guide you step by step, ensuring you gain the skills and confidence needed to ride safely.

The day begins with a briefing where the instructor explains the course structure and its objectives. This is also the time for an eye test and document check, so it’s important to bring your provisional licence and any necessary paperwork. The morning typically involves off-road training, giving you a chance to get comfortable with the bike or scooter. You’ll learn how to use the controls, start and stop the engine, and practice manoeuvres in a safe, enclosed environment.

As you progress, you’ll move to the on-road preparation stage, which covers essential topics like road positioning, hazard awareness, and basic traffic laws. Instructors provide practical advice tailored to delivery riders, helping you anticipate the unique challenges of urban riding. The final stage is an on-road ride, where you’ll apply everything you’ve learned under supervision.

CBT days are supportive and designed for learners of all levels. Instructors aim to build your confidence, not test your limits. By the end of the day, most riders leave with a sense of accomplishment and their CBT certificate in hand, ready to start their journey as delivery riders.
