Our courses

Every rider, every stage.

Whether you've never sat on a bike or you've been riding for decades, there's a Toucan course built around you.
CBT

Compulsory Basic Training

CBT

Your first step onto two wheels. A full day of training — at least seven hours — on our private site and out on real roads, with no more than two riders per instructor.

CBT is the legal starting point for riding on the road. You'll start on our private training area — controls, balance, slow riding, braking — before heading out on the road with your instructor once you're ready. Due to demand, novice CBT dates book up months ahead, so get in touch early.

  • Bike, kit & fuel included
  • 2:1 ratio, always
  • Full day — never cut short
