passed my CBT, and then started my MOD 2 lessons at BCMT in Tipton, absolute waste of time and money. Didn’t learn a thing from them, no positive instruction. All I ever heard was turn left, turn right, speed up, slow down and why you doing that? I learnt more from watching YouTube videos. Daylight robbery at £80 a lesson. Felt like they were only interested in the money.
Me as I was riding fine but my instructor said he didn't feel comfortable for me to go on the road so I need to come back so I went back and I was with a different instructor 40 minutes later I passed it I didnt get it.
CBT is a scam expecially in london. it exists to fast track forigners so they can do their uber eats deliveries while actively fucking and disregarding people who are actually passionate about bikes and want to learn. turns out teaching people how to ride properly requires effort so the schools wont do it
If you're doing it on manual you have to be really ready to pass, first time. If you are on automatic you can pass, first time ,if you have a good instructor and listen to what they say.
Not ridden a bike in 40 years, passed the CBT, now this is where I feel it's theft. A1-A2 and A? Why do I need all these extra tests, I can understand at least one of them, but 3, is excessive.
CBT up to 125cc on plates. Next test pass, plates off, anything you like, caveat, you have to do 2 years under the CBT. Or, just keep doing the CBT to continue where you are. It's not difficult.
I went back for a second CBT after 2 years of riding a geared 125 bike and because didn’t turn my indicator of 2 time the instructor threatened to have me back the next day it’s just a money making scam and I had a conversation lesson last week what another scam 90 mins and 65 quid later just clutch control on a 650 feel like giving up !
During my mod1 training the school I was at charged £360 for 8 hours prep before your test. This was able to be split into 2 4 hour sessions at £180 a session paid on the day. An instructor was telling people they was ready after 4 hours if he felt they was and the school sacked him for telling students that as they was then questioning the owners of the school and they saw it as said instructor was making them loose money by telling them this 🤣 bottom line is there a business, some are more honest than others
depends on the school. Long term cbter so I have done lots of tests with various schools- I just think the bad schools/instructors need naming and shaming

Cbt is useless if they don’t do it right

Honestly my instructor passed me too early, he didnt seem interested much, worked in my favour but I certainly wasnt ready
