Preparing for your CBT test in Cochno

A little preparation goes a long way. If you've ridden a bicycle on the road before, that road sense usually transfers well — instructors in Cochno often find riders with cycling experience pick up bike control faster.

On the day, you'll start in a controlled area using cones and similar aids before moving on to the roads around Cochno for the final, on-road part of the test. Fully qualified instructors stay with you throughout — if anything feels unclear, ask; that's what they're there for. Pass, and you'll get a DL196 certificate valid for two years, letting you ride up to 125cc with L-plates. Need more practice first? Most providers offer further training sessions before you take the test.

Common questions

Do I need to book in advance?

Popular providers can get booked up a week or two ahead, especially in summer — it's worth contacting them directly rather than waiting on a callback.

What should I bring on the day?

A valid provisional licence, glasses or contacts if you need them for the eyesight check, and sturdy, weather-appropriate clothing.

How long does my CBT certificate last?

Your DL196 is valid for two years, during which you can ride up to 125cc with L-plates.

What if I want to ride a bigger bike later?

You'll need to take the A2 (or A) category test, which most CBT providers also offer.
