Who can carry out compulsory basic training (CBT)?
- A Any approved driving instructor (ADI)
- B Any road safety officer
- C Any Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA)-approved training body
- D Any motorcycle main dealer
Why this is the answer
CBT courses can only be given by training bodies that are approved by DVSA. The standard of training is monitored by DVSA examiners. The course is designed to teach riders basic skills before they start riding on the road.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Any approved driving instructor (ADI) — An ADI teaches car driving. Motorcycle CBT needs a body approved for motorcycle training.
- B
- Any road safety officer — Road safety officers work on campaigns and education, and they do not certify riders.
- D
- Any motorcycle main dealer — Selling motorcycles does not make a dealer approved to train and certify riders on them.

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
