Course prices

As far as possible! That way, you are more likely to secure the date you want. (C.B.T is rarely an “impulse purchase”; you’ll have a fair amount of notice of an upcoming 16th birthday or expiry of your current certificate!)

We do occasionally have cancellations so please feel free to ring if you require short-notice training but we don't have an infinite number of trainers or motorcycles! We'll do our best to help but please don't moan if we can't fit you in tomorrow!

Full licence training is flexible & it’s your time you’ll be losing! We accept that traffic & other issues can cause problems, however, with C.B.T. the majority of students manage to arrive on time.  Because the day is a full one, we cannot sit around waiting & if you are too late it will have started without you! You cannot then join in part-way through. The same applies if you forget to bring your driving licence!

Please be at our school in Eastleigh Road promptly.

Note: Because we utilise Taunton Town Football Club to conduct the off-road elements, occasionally CBT's on Saturdays during the football season commence at 08:00. Please confirm you are aware of your start time; if you have been told it's an 8 o'clock start & you arrive late you will not be able to train & you will lose your deposit!

When you book your training we ask for a non-refundable deposit to be paid within 3 days. This ensures your place on the course & the type of motorcycle you have requested is allocated to you.

"Non-refundable"? If you cancel at short notice or do not attend then you will probably lose your deposit. However, we do accept that certain situations occur that make it impossible for you to attend. If we are told that you can’t make it (before your training is due to start!) for a genuine reason, then your deposit may be transferable to training on a date in the near future.

This is at the discretion of one of the Chief Instructors but please be aware that as with any pre-bookable service, we are a customer-based business & frequently have people looking for short-notice training & cancellations. If you don't show up or arrive too late we could potentially have assisted those people who could have taken your place.

Equally, if when you book your training you don't pay your deposit & then subsequently fail to do so within the following 3 days we will attempt to contact you. If this contact is unsuccessful we will offer your place & requested machine to another customer. Please don't arrive on the day & moan when you're turned away! If we can assist you we will, but obviously we don't have an infinite number of trainers or motorcycles.

If your training is booked & due to be conducted within the following 3 days then your deposit will be required upon booking.

All major debit & credit cards are accepted!

A frequently asked question & not one for which there is an easy answer. Many factors must be considered: what licence you’re looking to achieve, your motorcycle & road-using experience, whether you already hold a valid C.B.T. certificate etc.

The only factual help we can give you is that when considering costs, bear in mind that currently the D.V.S.A motorcycle tests amount to over £90. The cost difference between each days training is £60. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that if you don’t give yourself sufficient time for financial reasons, it may cost you more in the long run!

Equally, we obviously understand that people have many other commitments to take into account when considering their available spare time. It’s the same as with costs: if you allow yourself insufficient preparation time, it may take longer than originally planned to achieve your goal.

Ultimately, you are the customer: you decide how long to give yourself & how much to spend. We can only offer our advice & that will always be: spend the time & money wisely in the first place, giving yourself the best chance of avoiding a second place!
