Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)

Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)

Anyone who wants to ride a motorcycle or moped on the road needs to have successfully completed Compulsory Basic Training (CBT).

CBT is designed to provide a complete novice with the basic skills necessary to ride safely on our roads. You will be required to reach a certain level of proficiency before we can issue you a DL196.

  • "Can't recommend enough for anyone looking to do their CBT. Kev is a great teacher and I really enjoyed my training."

    Emily Jane

  • "My 1st time doing the CBT, learning to change gear. Within 5 minutes Kev the instructor taught me! What amazing experience I had today; highly recommended 👌 Get yourself booked in for top class training!"

    Eugene L

  • "The instructors were real down to earth and made passing my CBT fun, safe and intuitive. I am very strongly considering going back to do my a2 license."

    Matthew Stephen E

  • "Passed my full licence with these guys and a massive thank you to Kev and Kev the instructors. These guys got me through my CBT and my full licence. They are very professional, friendly and patient. I highly recommend Stella if you want to get your Motorbike licence."

    Michael J

  • "I can highly recommend."

    Glynn Lewis

  • "I came to Stella from another trainer who tried his best but I have a issue with taking tests an don’t like a shouty approach when learning new skills, makes me nervous. Previous trainer wouldn’t let me on a 650, saying I wasn’t ready. Kev however had me on a big bike within five minutes and it was so much easier than the 125. Kev realised that I was a nervous learner and adapted his approach, never pushing too hard and spending a lot of one on one time with me. He got me through my mod 1 in two try’s and today I passed my mod 2. I think it would have taken a very long time with anyone else and it certainly would not have been so enjoyable. Stella have a great approach and are only interested in getting you through the test as a safe and competent rider. I’m 50 years old and can say without a doubt, you are never too old to learn and Stella training is the best option in and around Gloucester and the Forest of Dean."

    Len Johnstone

  • "Thank you and Kev for your hard work over the last year, you have been a professional and well qualified and without your school, i would have not pass my test. No 1 bike training school in the Forest of Dean which I passed in July this year."

  • "After being off motorcycles for more than 30 years, I was disappointed to be told by DVLA that I needed to to take my full test again. However, this proved to be the best advice. Stella MT took me from CBT to full DAS and I learnt new techniques and they equipped me well to safe on the road. Thanks to Kevin & Sharon."

    Nigel Powell

  • "I’m delighted it have passed all parts of my motorcycle tests first time under the expert guidance of Kevin. The entire experience was excellent, with Sharon arranging training and test days that suited my hectic diary. Thanks Stella."

    Matt Heaman

  • "Wow, what can I say? I have had the most amazing experience starting with my CBT, all the way through to passing my mod 1 and 2 with Stella motorcycle training. I have found Stella to be a very professional company with a pleasant, laid back approach which went very far in settling quite a-nervous-at-first pupil lol. Kev is quite amazing at getting the very best from you, very quickly growing your confidence literally by the hour. Thank you, Kev and Sharon for helping realise a life long dream of mine."

    Paul Skelton
    Passed his DAS

  • "I want to thank Stella MCT for their patience and knowledge in helping me get my full motorcycle license. I have done every part of my journey to motorcycle freedom with them from my CBT to my Direct Access course. At each stage of the process Stella have been very helpful, professional and friendly. On the parts I found more difficult Kev simplified the process and built me up core skill by core skill till the part I struggled on was a habit. One of the best parts of the training was that I was taught the reasons why we have to do something not just how to do it. Everything that Stella did had safety in mind and I left 100% through the process. On the test days I got quite nervous and Kev’s words of advice helped me focus to get the job done on my first try. Thank you all at Stella. It has been a pleasure."
