COASTRIDER SERVICES
CoastRider offers a number of motorbike training services to help you wherever you are on your motorcycle journey.
BASIC HANDLING SKILLS TEST (BHST)
The Basic Handling Skills Test (BHST) is the first step in getting you licensed and ready to ride.
CoastRider offers three different length sessions so that you can book according to your comfort levels and personal preferences;
CBTA LICENSING
There are two paths you can take to continue your licensing journey, CBTA (Competency-Based Training and Assessment) or practical tests.
CoastRider recommends the CBTA route because;
-
it can reduce the time it takes you to gain your restricted and/or full motorcycle licence.
-
it improves your riding skill levels by targeting high-risk riding behaviours.
-
you'll can get more feedback on your riding skills and tips on how to ride smarter and safer.
CoastRider offers the following CBTA certifications:
Restricted
CBTA-R
Once you have your learner licence, you can sit your assessment ride for CBTA 6R as soon as you feel you’re ready to. (It is recommended you ride at least 120 hours and complete a "Ride Forever" Bronze-Level course to sharpen your skills.)
Upon completion, you can take your CBTA 6R certificate and apply for your restricted motorcycle licence at any time.
Full
CBTA-F
You can sit the CBTA 6F assessment once you've held your restricted licence for at least 9 months and feel ready to. (It is recommended you complete a "Ride Forever" Silver-Level course to sharpen your skills before.)
Upon completion, you can take your CBTA 6F certificate and apply for your full motorcycle after having held your Restricted license for 12 months.
CBTA + Training
CBTA-R OR CBTA-F
We recognise that sometimes before a test, you want to cram!
To improve your chances of passing your CBTA, we offer sessions with a training slot attached (30 mins or 1 hour).
This lets us pre-assess your skill level, give you tips and pointers to ride safer, and hone in on any weaker skills that may bring your score down.
GENERAL MOTORCYCLE TRAINING
At CoastRider we know that people are at all stages in their motorbike journey and may want to have some one-on-one lessons where. you can ask any questions, get tailored advice and get you feeling good about your riding ability.
RIDE FOREVER COURSES
Ride Forever is an ACC initiative, aimed at giving riders sound information and access to training, so they can make better choices.
They involve group riding sessions over a mix of urban and rural environments with targeted feedback as you go. They run over the course of an entire day and offer three levels - bronze, silver or gold.
The Ride Forever courses are the perfect prep for your CBTA, both Restricted or Full. It's highly recommended that you do a Bronze course before sitting your Restricted, and a Silver before your Full.
Our instructor, Scott, regularly contracts out to run these courses.
