Preparing for the CBTA R

The assessment is conducted by a motorcycle instructor, and you will be assessed throughout the duration of your ride. We allow 90 mins for your booking, which includes Pre and Post briefings. The assessment ride is 50-60 mins long. There is no training included in the CBTA R assessment.

We highly recommend that you attend a Ride Forever Bronze Course as this will cover all the riding skills you will be assessed on. You can also choose to have one on one coaching right before your assessment.

If you are under 18 years old you will need a parent or guardian to sign your disclaimer of liability.

To prepare yourself in the best way possible, it is highly recommended that you have One to One personalised coaching and/or attend a Ride Forever training course before attempting the assessment ride. This is the quickest way to progress through your licence as it helps you develop the best riding practices right from the beginning! If you’re new to riding, this training will help prepare you for the assessment, ensuring you have the necessary skills to ride safely on our roads. For existing riders, this training will identify any errors in your riding style and help you correct them before you do your assessment.
