WHAT IS A CBTA?
Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) is a system designed to enhance motorcycle training and licensing in New Zealand. It provides a structured approach to assess riders' competence and skill progression.
Under CBTA, riders can undergo coaching and then undertake assessments to demonstrate their competency in specific riding tasks and manoeuvres. CBTA offers different levels of assessment, such as CBTA 6R for learner licence progression and CBTA 6F for restricted licence progression. Head to NZTA's website for more information on getting your full licence.
This comprehensive training and assessment framework aims to ensure that motorcycle riders in New Zealand receive proper instruction and evaluation, leading to safer and more skilled riders on the roads.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN & BE ASSESSED ON
Test applicants will be expected to be able to apply appropriate hazard and detection responses to all assessable tasks without an explanation of what is required by the assessor. Applicants will also need to demonstrate good riding skills in more complex situations and maintain safe riding behaviours across a wide variety of higher-speed road conditions. These include managing intersections, navigating roundabouts, changing lanes, maintaining a safe following distance, responding to traffic signals and signs, and adapting to different weather conditions.
The assessment will also evaluate the applicant's ability to anticipate potential hazards, make safe decisions, and demonstrate safe riding techniques. In addition, candidates will be assessed on their knowledge and adherence to road rules, demonstrating an understanding of right-of-way, speed limits, and proper signalling.
The aim of the full motorcycle assessment is to ensure that riders have the necessary skills and knowledge to confidently and safely navigate the roads, making them responsible and competent riders in all riding scenarios.
