What to take to your course

Take your UK driving licence to your training course.

What you need to wear

You must wear:

  • a motorcycle helmet that meets British safety standards (unless you’re Sikh and wearing a turban) - check if the training school will provide one
  • motorcycle boots or other sturdy footwear that supports and protects your ankles
  • textile or leather motorcycle trousers or heavy denim trousers
  • a textile or leather motorcycle jacket or a heavy denim jacket with several layers underneath
  • motorcycle gloves

Your course can be stopped and you can be charged to take it again if you do not wear suitable clothing.

Using your own moped or motorcycle

You cannot ride your own moped or motorcycle to the course unless you already have a CBT certificate - for example, if you’re taking CBT again before your current certificate expires.

You can be fined up to £1,000 and get up to 6 penalty points for riding if you do not have a valid CBT certificate.
