Apply for CBT site authorisation
All the sites you intend to use for the practical training and riding elements of the compulsory basic training (CBT) course must be authorised by DVSA.
You can’t use a site until you’ve got authorisation from DVSA.
Download the compulsory basic training site application form to apply for authorisation.
Send the completed form to DVSA. You’ll also need to include a draft plan of the intended site, eg an annotated satellite image.

You should make sure all your instructors are aware of these details.
