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.

If you can’t find a time slot that works for you, please call the office so we can find a time that suits you.

If you are gaining your licence using a non-standard process please contact us before making a booking. Without the correct paperwork from NZTA you will not be allowed to take an assessment and your booking fee will be lost.

You are eligible to sit a CBTA F 9 months after your restricted licence issue date (on the back of your licence card), however you cannot complete the application for your full licence until 12 months after the issue date.

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