Freedom on two wheels is just a CBT away with ProBike Training

Compulsory Basic Training is needed to legally allow you to ride on a road as a learner. It is a course and not a test and will usually take a day to complete. It can be conducted on your own bike or one of our learner legal bikes. After some verbal briefings and off road training, you will then have a minimum of 2 hours of on the road training with one of our instructors. At the end you will be issued with your DL196 –your certificate that validates your provisional licence entitlement. Everyone has to do a CBT who wants to ride a motorcycle so this is for the complete novice who has never even sat on a bike.

Moped courses

We are specialists in training our younger students and we have 8 spaces per weekend available. We conduct a full CBT and by all means we do not just hand out these certificates. The candidate must have a good knowledge of the highway code and complete the course to the satisfaction of one of our instructors. We take this training seriously, the course is conducted by our most qualified instructors because for the majority of our students this will be the first introduction to the responsibilities of being on the road.

To gain a full motorcycle licence you must pass both an off road manoeuvring test (the so called Module 1) as well as an assessed road ride with a DSA assessor. Probike are leaders in training you beyond the standard required for the test to ensure that your future motorcycling is safe and enjoyable..

For most of our motorcycle courses the actual instruction is them same, the only difference is the motorcycles that are used. We have a fully insured and reliable fleet of motorcycles suitable for all types on tests.

We offer 3, 4 or 5 day courses as well as supplementary days training should you require some extra practice. The ratio of students to instructor will never be more than 2 to 1 on a DAS course and we endeavour at all times to keep this ratio on smaller machines as well. You will not see 4 trainees out all day for sometimes 2 or 3 days at Probike like some other schools.

All of this type of instruction is carried out by our top instructors that are either ex-police motorcyclists, trained by them or serving officers. You can be assured of top training going beyond what you would need for a test and beyond what some other training bodies could offer you!

Our advanced motorcycle tuition is just about the best training that you can get as a civilian! This is where your biking skills are honed and enhanced. We use our most advanced instructors on these courses and cover a wide range of advanced skills and riding tactics.

This course is for the rider that has had his/her bike for a while or a newly qualified rider who wants to progress quicker. It is conducted by our DAS instructors and our police and ex-police instructors and puts you beyond test standard, but ensures you still confirm to a safe system of riding. It will be an enjoyable day which will allow you to get more out of your riding.

Back to Biking

Our back to biking courses are aimed at those who have come back to riding a motorcycle after a break. Designed to refresh your skills and introduce you to new legislation and road skills the course will ease you back into the saddle. Like our advanced course these are led by our experienced and knowledgeable instructors.

Over the past 10 years Probike have put together an exceptional team to teach the Probike Motorcycle Instructors courses. Probike Training are the only instructor training school in the country to have a course specifically designed by an ex-Cardington DSA Examiner and experienced Police motorcyclists.

This course, and our knowledge and experience, can only be found here. We are now imitated by others who say they have the same course structure and learning materials. This is not the case. We have never sanctioned our course and training material for use by other “instructor trainers”. They are probably successful students of Probike Training using the material from their own courses. They however do not have the course designers experience and in depth knowledge when actually teaching on their courses…..but of course we do!

We`re extremely flattered by this but please do not be fooled into paying for second hand information. Come to Probike Training and let the true professionals in instructor training lead you through your Cardington Assessment and show the way to becoming a fully qualified motorcycle instructor.

All our instructors have now all taken several courses and are regularly assessed by Roy for to ensure that our high standards are being continually being met. Student feedback is fed back into the course delivery and to ensure that our students needs are being met. No other company put so much time and effort into their course and deliver it with the professional standards of Probike Training.
