Which course do I choose?
Rider Training NZ has three options – a combined ‘Training, Practice and Test CBT1+2hr and CBT1Plus’ or a ‘Test Only CBT1’ for people who do not wish to take any training or have done a recent Rideforever Course (Bronze or higher) or a test re-sit.
Although training isn't compulsory, it is recommend you complete training before attempting the CBTA Test. This will ensure that you have the necessary riding skills and you're fully prepared to attempt the test. The CBTA Tests are designed to ensure you're competent in a prescribed range of riding skills, which are important to keep you safe when riding on our NZ roads.
IMPORTANT CBTA STUFF
ENSURE YOUR MOTORCYCLE IS LAMS APPROVED
If you are unsure your Motorcycle is LAMS-Approved either Contact Us or check out the list LAMS Approved List.
The Motorcycle has to be on the list and exact model to be an approved Motorcycle - Example: A LTD440 is on the list but its slightly smaller cousin the LTD400 is not on the list (even though it would be a LAMS bike). Also some models are not approved due to no power restrictions - Example: A GSR600U is approved but not a GSR600.
NOTE: No Yamaha Tri-Citys are permitted as they are usually registered as a Car and not a Motorcycle - hence why they can be ridden on a car licence. Due to NZTA requirements we can no longer accept Suzuki GN125 for training or testing. You must provide a Motorcycle that can maintain open road speed
No Motorcycles permitted on a yellow Dealer-Plate
ROAD COMPLIANCE
Please check you Motorcycle for these things BEFORE your session. These will be checked with the Instructor before commencement of Training / Test. What we check:
- No damage that could be a Safety Issue (Examples: Broken levers / footpegs, loose panels)
- Chain (Tension not too tight or too loose / lubrication)
- Tyres (Pressure / Tread Depth / Any Damage)
- Wheels (Rim Damage or loose Spokes)
- Mirrors (Minimum of one intact mirror)
- Indicators (Front and Rear), Brake light, Head & Taillights, Horn (Working / lenses intact)
- Registration and Warrant Of Fitness (Current Rego and WOF)
If your Motorcycle does not Pass this Compliance check, the Training and / or Test cannot commence until the Non-Compliance is fixed. Your options will be:
- If it can be fixed on the spot, this will cost you time from your Training Session
- If it is a Test Only, this could result in a Fail test
- Instructors discretion on what other action to take

We recommend arriving 15mins before your start time. If you are late this time will be taken out of your Training time or could result in a fail for a Test Only Booking. Ensure you have at least enough fuel for 100kms, if unsure fuel up before the session starts. If you run out of fuel during the Test, this could result in a fail.
OTHER STUFF
If you have an Intercom already installed, we can usually pair them to our units if you know how to put your Intercom into 'Pairing Mode'. This makes for a quick and easy setup.
