CBTA Competency Based Training and Assessment

[Tricia1000]

My paper work for conducting CBTA1 and CBTA2 assessments arrived in the post today. It 's all ready to take bookings from next Saturday.
I also have a new radio system, so it's all systems go. If you are waiting to hear from me, regarding booking a CBTA assessment, please contact me to make the booking, and then I can let you know what the different options are...
I can be contacted on 094241246 or 0212693246, or email triciaoconnor@xtra.co.nz .

Hi all. Just an update that Mainland Motorcycle School now has two NZTA approved instructors and assessors for CBTA restricted and licecnes.
There is now no need to wait 6 months between your learners licence and restricted, and we can also take off 6 months off the time you need to be on your restricted to full licence. So now it can take 12 months from learners to full rather than the 24months under the old system. Obviously this is based on competency. A new rider will take longer than that as they need time on a bike to lift their skills.
We have 2 options for pre assessment training depending on current ability. One shorter one for riders that are already confident at low and high speed skills. This covers what you need to know in test so you can pass. It is very unlikely a rider could pass without the training first.
We also have a longer course to lift skills fro intermediate riders who ride on the road but may need training for the low speed skills or hill work and confidence we are looking for in the higher speed sections.

Im liking the look of the CBTA licencing , being one that has anxiety with "tests" I liek the idea of trainging to get a license better, seams a little less "one shot" i guess, id rather be told No brush up here and actually show that you are learnign to be better, then " WRONG! BYE BYE! " by some bloke thats following in the car

[Tricia1000]

Hi Matrox02,
If you would like to book an assessment, then give me a shout. Then if time permits after the assessment and debrief, we can do some training. Are you currently on your learners license or restricted license?

Definitely. Will be going this way through the license system when funds permit.

I'm looking at doing the Silver Ride Forever course (ACC\Council sponsored $50) through Road Safe in Wellington as preparation for doing my full license via CBTA. Does anyone have any experience in doing this particular course? I'm interested in rider numbers vs instructor numbers for starters. I've contacted Road Safe and they're getting back to me on their specifics but I'd appreciate any feedback from riders with experience of this course.

There's a conflicting thread on page 2 of the Survival Skills forum called Pro Rider training, but it does raise some general concerns I have about group training if it's not super well organised and executed. One on one, full day of training for full licence CBTA is circa $500, but could be money much better spent.

I'm eligible to sit my full license in just 8 weeks anyway so that's another factor in weighing up all my options.

[Tricia1000]

I can definitely recommend ANY TRAINING that is delivered by Roadsafe in Wellington.
However, If you take on one-to-one training, with either Andrew or Lynne, you will learn heaps more, and obviously get more value for money..including heaps of feedback, heaps of training about what YOU need to learn.

As an instructor, if I take out one student, then that student has 95% of my attention and 5% attention to myself .
But if I take out 3 students, they each only get 30% of my attention, (10% for me) or six students get 15% of my attention (10% for me).
Absolutely NOTHING will take the place of quality one-to-one training..
And you will get quality from Roadsafe..
Roadsafe were on the committee with myself (Roadcraft) and Riderskills when the CBTA was being put together and trialled, from start to finish. It was a pleasure working with both Roadsafe and Riderskills, during this time, as we all teach and ride at the same level....something that isn't easy to find...instructors who all sing from the same hymn page..

Thanks Tricia, that endorsement is very encouraging. This Silver course is apparently a max of 6 riders to 1 instructor. Not fast enough to work out those percentages but that seems a little thin on your personal attention scale to me. Can't argue with the price of course but... I'll see what their 1 on 1 prices are like. I'd love some training anyway being completely self taught to date. (I don't count the BHS as training!)

Maybe it was typo but I think you can do silver & gold for $50 a pop. Shall be doing the silver soon meself.
