7. A Compulsory Basic Training course is often completed on the day booked, but sometimes more training is required for a suitable, safe standard to be attained. If, by the time the course reaches the end of Element C, the instructor does not feel that the student is at a sufficient, safe standard to undertake the road ride, the instructor will explain this to the student and the student will then finish for the day and will need to rebook to complete a CBT Continuation course at a later date.
Similarly, if the student starts the road ride but the instructor needs to stop the ride for safety reasons the student will then return to site and finish for the day and will need to rebook to complete a CBT Continuation course at a later date. There is an additional charge for this. More details will be sent at the end of the course.
Stopping CBT training at any time for safety reasons is at the sole discretion of the Instructor. In which event no refund will be due and further training will only be offered at our discretion.
