two pupils <strong>to</strong> one instruc<strong>to</strong>r. If more th<strong>an</strong> these numbers of pupils are involved they<br />
should be separated in<strong>to</strong> groups that meet the permitted ratios e.g. eight pupils (offroad)<br />
or four pupils (on-road)- two sets of four pupils or two set of two pupils with<br />
a separate instruc<strong>to</strong>r responsible for each group. It is not acceptable for <strong>training</strong> <strong>to</strong><br />
be conducted in two groups combined e.g. a ratio of 8:2 or 4:2.<br />
It is not acceptable <strong>to</strong> allow additional pupils <strong>to</strong> watch from boundaries of the<br />
<strong>training</strong> area as this will not count as part of their CBT <strong>training</strong>.<br />
Elements A <strong>an</strong>d D<br />
There is no prescribed ratio for these elements as they are classroom based, although<br />
<strong>an</strong> AMI should ensure that only a reasonable number of pupils are involved during<br />
these sessions. This is <strong>to</strong> ensure that <strong>training</strong> is not adversely affected due <strong>to</strong> the<br />
number of pupils present. The AMI must ensure that all pupils are given the<br />
opportunity <strong>to</strong> participate <strong>an</strong>d learn <strong>an</strong>d the AMI is able <strong>to</strong> establish if learning has<br />
taken place with each individual.<br />
Element E<br />
A maximum of two pupils <strong>to</strong> one instruc<strong>to</strong>r must be observed for this element <strong>an</strong>d<br />
all pupils must receive a minimum of four hours practical on-road riding. The <strong>training</strong><br />
should be conducted in separate, distinct groups i.e. it is not considered acceptable<br />
for two <strong>instruc<strong>to</strong>rs</strong> <strong>to</strong> accomp<strong>an</strong>y four pupils as <strong>an</strong> overall group of six. The instruc<strong>to</strong>r<br />
must be able <strong>to</strong> communicate with each pupil by me<strong>an</strong>s of a radio which is not h<strong>an</strong>d<br />
held (<strong>an</strong> exemption from this requirement is permitted for trainees who are<br />
profoundly deaf ).<br />
Instruc<strong>to</strong>rs have a duty of care when <strong>delivering</strong> <strong>training</strong>, it is therefore essential when<br />
<strong>delivering</strong> the practical elements of the CBT course you ensure that you keep your<br />
pupils in visual contact at all times. Under no circumst<strong>an</strong>ces should CBT pupils be<br />
mixed with other mo<strong>to</strong>rcycle pupils during on or off road elements, i.e. they c<strong>an</strong>not<br />
be ‘tagged on’ <strong>to</strong> other courses. It is not acceptable practice for <strong>instruc<strong>to</strong>rs</strong> <strong>to</strong> carry<br />
a pillion passenger for <strong>an</strong>y reason during the on-road ride.<br />
CBT Logbook<br />
1. Introduction<br />
You should supply each pupil with a CBT logbook <strong>to</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>r their progress through<br />
each element of the <strong>training</strong>. The CBT logbook is a record of your pupil’s <strong>training</strong>.<br />
You should advise them <strong>to</strong> keep it safe as it will play <strong>an</strong> essential part of their CBT<br />
course by keeping them up-<strong>to</strong>-date with their progress <strong>an</strong>d assist them in assessing<br />
their own perform<strong>an</strong>ce.
