CBT Motorcycle Instructor
There are various training routes to become a DVSA Assessed CBT Motorcycle Instructor.
Preparation is the key to success
You are strongly advised to have Lesson Plans for every lesson in the Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) syllabus. This will give you the foundations to consistently deliver thorough lessons. It also gives you a training plan and guide when down training other instructors.
Training Diagrams for every on road training lesson, will help you to explain and demonstrate what changes should be made to your students riding. A picture paints a thousand words and prevents confusion and misunderstandings during the road ride training sessions.
There is a higher risk of failure if you have limited knowledge and experience.
Aim high to deliver DAS
Once you have completed your DVSA assessment, the next step is to become a DAS Instructor. This will give you more variety in the training you deliver and you gain full qualification.
You will then be able to train learner riders from CBT to full test, teaching Mod 1 and Mod 2 training and take students you have taught to their motorcycle test.
It doesn't get much better than this...
Being fully prepared
It is essential for you to put yourself through a rigorous training process. The low pass rate is because many trainers attend the DVSA assessment prematurely and under-prepared.
Assessment Preparation
A lack of experience also increases your likelihood of failure. You should keep a training record and use a step by step guide to develop your own lesson plans and training delivery.
Developing new teaching skills:
You will need to learn how to deliver high performance lessons. You must understand Methods of Instruction to ensure your Lesson Plans and training delivery are perfect.
Training the Trainer

A Higher Level of Skill
Training other trainers demand a higher level of skill. Role-play and practice are imperative to develop another instructor's ability. You must know the subject well and have a thorough understanding of different methods of teaching, this enables you to train other trainers.
