Quality Motorcycle Training Courses in Bangor
A CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) is a mandatory training course you have to complete in order to be allowed to ride alone on the road
with L-plates, or D-plates in Wales. At Rider Training Bangor, we provide tailored CBT and DAS (Direct Access Scheme) motorcycle training courses that enable you to become a safe and legal motorcyclist. Based in Bangor, Gwynedd.
Our Trainers
Our trainers are previous rapid response riders with former police training. This is because we are concerned about the safety of riders and want to make sure everyone gets proper training. Our courses are carefully designed to help riders learn the skills required to become a responsible rider on the road.
All bikes that we use are clean and maintained to a high standard. Our trainers have diplomas in Advanced Driving and Advanced Motorcycle Instruction, so you can have complete peace of mind. If you’re based in North Wales, contact us today.
