The DVSA have updated their guidance notes for students attending a CBT training course. Please take the time to read Prepare for your CBT
In particular please note the information about Highway Code knowledge:
Your trainer can stop your compulsory basic training course if your basic knowledge of The Highway Code and traffic signs isn’t good enough for you to ride safely.
And regarding what to wear. You should wear motorcycle boots or other sturdy footwear that supports and protects your ankles.
3CMT provide helmets, gloves and Hi Viz as standard. We have a selection of jackets should you not have something suitable but we do not provide footwear. If you are wearing inadequate footwear you will not be allowed to start your course.
Perfect gift for that special person in your life
