DVSA – 2 Day CBT Assessment Training
Pass with Confidence. Teach to Professional Standards.
The 2 Day CBT Assessment is one of the most feared stages in becoming a qualified motorcycle instructor.
Failing Isn’t Your Fault
Most trainers don’t fail because they’re bad people — they fail because they were never taught properly how to be a professional teacher.
What our course gives you to succeed
- Structure
- Understanding
- Clarity
- Confidence
- Education
- Expertise
- Development
To deliver formal education, you must first understand the principles of how to teach. This should be the first step in becoming a Motorcycle Instructor.
Who This Course Is For
This course is the next essential step for:
✔ Any trainer lacking structure in lesson delivery
✔ Trainers preparing for their DVSA CBT Assessment
✔ Newly down-trained instructors who want to progress
✔ Instructors feeling nervous, unsure, or underprepared
✔ Trainers who have completed the CBT Foundation Course
✔ Trainers who have previously failed the DVSA CBT Assessment
✔ Trainers who want to demonstrate professional teaching quality, not “get by”
This is the course that prepares you to qualify with confidence.
Why Instructors Fail the DVSA CBT Assessment
Most trainers arrive unprepared because they were never taught what the examiner is actually assessing.
Most instructors fail because they:
❌ Struggle with their lesson planning
❌ Don’t understand client-centred learning
❌ Cannot manage learner rider risk effectively
❌ Don’t provide consistent, purposeful feedback
❌ Don’t know what the DVSA examiner is looking for
❌ Deliver CBT elements using habit instead of structure
❌ Have only ever “watched and copied” during down-training
The DVSA expects professional educational behaviour, not improvised lesson delivery passed down through bad habits.
We teach you the standards examiners want to see.

The Comparison
There is a clear difference between proper instructor education and the rushed “watch me and copy me” approach used across much of the industry. Any provider claiming they can turn someone into a competent instructor in a few days should raise serious concern.
Becoming a motorcycle instructor is a teaching role and teaching requires structure, understanding and an educational process. Rushed training creates confusion, bad habits, weak delivery and ultimately puts careers at risk. Professional instructor training must develop the ability to teach, not simply mimic.
Traditional Training
- “Watch me and copy me” approach
- Little to no structure or framework
- Weak teaching method or educational strategy
- Information overload with limited understanding
- Inconsistent delivery and unclear standards
Our Training
- Structured educational delivery
- Proven teaching frameworks
- Client-centred learning aligned to DVSA expectations
- Clear risk-management process
- Qualified educators (not just experienced riders)
- Repeatable lesson planning and delivery standards
Instructor Feedback
“The clarity and structure were exceptional. I finally understood how a professional lesson should look. The mock assessments were invaluable.”
John Cooke – Trainee Instructor
“This course taught me how to teach, not just guide riders through CBT. I walked in nervous. I walked out ready to become an instructor.”
Andy Brown – Down-Trained Instructor
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior experience?
Yes. You should be down-trained or have completed the CBT Foundation Course. This is not for instructors with no hands-on experience with learner riders.
Do I need my own bike?
No. Training bikes are provided, but you can bring your own if you wish.
Is the DVSA CBT Assessment difficult?
It’s only difficult if you are unclear about how to deliver CBT lessons professionally. This course removes that uncertainty with structure, practice, and examiner-style feedback.
What if I don’t feel ready after 5 days?
You’ll leave with a personalised development plan to continue your preparation and close any gaps before attending the 2-day DVSA assessment.
