To become a fully licensed motorcyclist, you need to pass through the 3 stages of the driver licensing system:
You need to complete the requirements of each stage before you can move to the next.
You must pass a basic handling skills test and then a theory test before you can start stage 1 – learner licence.
Instead of taking a practical test at the restricted and full stages of your licence, you can choose to have your riding skills assessed by an approved CBTA assessor.
Completing professional training will prepare you for the assessment and make sure you have the necessary riding skills.
If you choose the CBTA option, it can reduce the time it takes you to get your restricted and full motorcycle licence. This is the only way you can reduce the required minimum time during the learner and restricted licence stages.
