The Stages of Learning are:
1) Complete the CompulsoryBasic Training (CBT)
2) Take your Motor Cycle Theory Test
This is a screen-based test and consists of two parts, which are taken together. It has been devised to test your knowledge of riding theory, in particular the rules of the road and best riding practice.
Part one Consists of a series of 50 multiple choice questions and lasts 57 minutes. Five of the questions are presented ina case study scenario. The subject of the scenario focuses on real like examples and experiences that riders might encounter on the road.
Part Two of the theory test is called the Hazard perception test and involves responding to a series of film clips containing one or more developing hazards. This part of the test lasts about 20 minutes, during which time you will be shown 14 video film clips containing 15 hazards.
