CBTA - What's happening?

[Qkchk:Me]

Hi All,

Latest news is this:

Received a letter from the NZTA detailing how to apply to deliver the CBTA (competency based training and assessment). These 'first round' of applications close on the 2nd December. Will have to attend an assessors training workshop etc..


And the news you all have been waiting for - When does the CBTA come in? 1st March 2014.

Righto - what does this mean to joe public? Do we all eventually need to resit our licenses based on this?

As much as I support safety - I've got to say a lot of the colour in my motorcycling is being gradually leached away.. I was just yesterday sitting there thinking 'gawd this is all getting too bloody hard'....

This only applies to those who are going through the graduated licensing system (just an alternative way of getting a licence) - hence attaining Learners then Restricted then onto Full. Those with a Full Class 6 will not be affected.

Yay. :/ just in time to be too late. Good old government, change the rules without the structure to support the new rules.

That is great news! Do you know if that is for both courses or just the learners to restricted course?

thanks for keeping everyone posted

As far as Im aware it will be for both the 'Learner - Restricted CBT 1' and the 'Restricted - Full CBT 2' Courses.

Seems a shame that they got everyones hopes up with all the details then didn't produce the goodies! It was even printed on the back of the older Factsheet 28 that it was intended to be started by the third quarter of 2013. Hmmm.

So as a current learner, am I better to wait to do restricted on CBT or go for Restricted now?

If you're ready and able to sit your restricted now, do it. No reason to wait another 5 months. You can get a ton of lessons in that time to boot, should you so desire.

[Qkchk:Me]

Yes, if you have had your Learners for more than 6 months and feel you are ready for the Restricted - go for it! By the time the CBT comes in, you will have less time to wait to progress to Full Licence

Has anyone found a provider for the CBTA2 yet? Or are you yourself able to do this, Qkchk?

[Qkchk:Me]

Both myself and Qkkid intend to be able to conduct the CBTA 1 and 2 when the system goes live on 1st March. Until then (to my understanding) no one can provide these courses until the national 'go live' date.

NZTA have only started to roll out the trainer workshops across the country with the Auckland one starting from next week.

Question on this - if by the time the CBTA goes live, I will have had my learners for 6 months - which is better CBTA or normal test?

in 'theory' they should be the same, but wondering which one is better (ie held to a higher standard) is there a price difference between the 2 options?
