STAGE 2:

Service Description

Competency-based training and assessment gives you an option to have your riding skills assessed by an approved assessor instead of taking the practical riding test. The assessments 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 roads. There are several benefits choosing to advance with the CBTA option:  1.  It can reduce the time it takes you to gain your restricted and/or full motorcycle licence – completing the CBTA course is the only way you can reduce the required minimum time during the learner and restricted licence stages  2. I improves your riding skill levels by targeting high-risk riding behaviours, which allows for a safer road system for you and other road users  3. You'll get feedback on your riding skills and tips on how to ride safer and help you make smarter choices on the road. During a CBTA assessment, you’ll need to ride around a predefined assessment route. Your riding skills will be assessed through the entire duration of the assessment ride (including mounting and dismounting). At any given time during the assessment, your performance in one of the following seven riding tasks will be assessed:  ● Moving in  ● Riding straight  ● Riding a curve  ● Riding through an intersection  ● Overtaking  ● Turning back  ● Moving out Where applicable, the following competencies will be assessed during each riding task:  ● Looking  ● Scanning/mirrors  ● Head check  ● Communication  ● Consideration/courtesy  ● Positioning  ● Speed management  ● Progression  ● Stability/smoothness  ● Following distance  ● Other illegal. During the assessment, you won’t receive any feedback, coaching or training from the assessor. However, once the assessment ride is complete, we will supply feedback and let you know if you’ve passed or haven’t been successful on the day. Although training isn't compulsory, we recommend you complete training before attempting the assessment ride. This will ensure that you have the necessary riding skills, and you're fully prepared to do the assessment. Want some one-on-one coaching prior to booking? Riderqual offers one-on-one coaching to upskill / educate the rider and develop riding ability to be better equipped to advance. Note: As motorcycling is a solo and hazardous activity, it’s important to gain the required skills to support and grow your understanding / knowledge which will benefit you well into the future.
