CBT quotes

Ok cos I was browsing through websites for CBT training, I saw a website from England offering £100 so I checked with you if that is the case.

Unfortunately, it seems so in Northern Ireland. :(
 
Ok thanks for all the replies.

However, I have read on other website about CBT:

Prior to 21st February 2011 – Learner motorcyclists who have provisional entitlement prior to 21st February 2011 – must complete CBT – or pass their motorcycle test – within 12 months of introduction if they wish to continue to ride unaccompanied on a public road.

This includes full car licence holders who are automatically issued with provisional entitlement for motorcycles after they pass the car practical test.

From 21st February 2011, all new moped or motorcycle riders applying for provisional moped or motorcycle entitlement will have to successfully complete CBT before being permitted to ride unaccompanied on public roads.

So any exisiting licence holder (either provisional or full) who got their licence before 21st February 2011 can be allowed to ride on the road providing that they must obtain CBT or test within 12 months (of getting a bike).

Have I read that right?

Firstly you don't need a Private Trainer (If that's what you mean) to do your CBT & secondly 200 quid is taking the ****.
Just find your local CBT place book it & go along for the day.
CBT is Not a test it is Training.
Mine cost 105 quid April 2011.

CBT trainer.

It is one-day CBT training and still £160-£200, averaging £180.

I'm in Mid Ulster area (Cookstown/Magherafelt).

I have just got a quote of £220 for bike insurance. Since my budget is quite tight so I think I will give it a miss. Might consider it again next year.
 
On second thought, I've thought about ferrying to Scotland on cheap return ticket and do CBT over there. I think it might be worthwhile as GB's CBT will be recognized in NI but not vice-versa though.

Also, I think it has to do with NI's CBT training which needs a minimum of 4 hours on-road riding, which is not the same as in England?

I may be about to demonstrate astronomic ignorance, but I was given to understand that N.I was part of the United Kingdom, and therefore subject to the same road rules and regs as the rest of the UK..? Edit - As in, a CBT in N.I. is a UK CBT, same as the rest of the country

Yes but the scheme isn't exactly the same though as it was recently introduced in NI in 2011.
