NZTA certified instruction
Learn to ride.
Not just to pass.
The test is one morning. The riding is the rest of your life. Every session here is built around the habits that keep you upright once the examiner has gone home.

CBTA assessments for your Restricted and Full licence, BHST preparation, and private coaching whenever you want it. Always one instructor and one rider, never a group waiting for a turn.

BHST Practice
The Basic Handling Skills Test fails riders on clutch control far more than on nerve. We drill the five manoeuvres until they stop being manoeuvres and start being how you ride.
Cone weave, figure of 8, U-turn, emergency stop, slow control

02 / Assessment day
No surprises
on the day
Most riders turn up nervous because nobody told them how a CBTA assessment actually runs. Here is the whole thing, start to finish, so you can stop guessing.
Not ready yet?
Private coaching is available whenever you want it, either before the assessment or on its own. One instructor, one rider, and whatever you need to work on.
Book coaching- 01
Arrival and paperwork
Bring your licence and the address you booked with. We check your details against the assessment form before anything else, because a paperwork problem found at the end wastes the whole morning.
- 02
Bike and gear check
Warrant, registration, tyres, brakes, lights, chain. Your helmet and gear get looked at too. A bike that fails this check cannot be assessed, so check it the night before rather than on the day.
- 03
Briefing
What the assessment covers, which roads we use, and how the radio works. You get to ask questions here. Nothing in the assessment is a surprise or a trick.
- 04
The assessment ride
Real roads, real traffic, instructor following and talking to you through the radio. Positioning, observation, following distance, hazard response, intersections.
- 05
Result and debrief
You find out on the day, not a week later. If you are competent we sign it off. If not, you leave knowing exactly which units to work on and what a pass looks like.
03 / Riders
Absolutely brilliant experience. The instructor was patient, clear, and made me feel completely at ease. Passed my Restricted first time.
I had tried another instructor previously and was nervous, but the calm and methodical approach here made all the difference.
Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed. Worth every cent.
Booked my BHST practice and CBTA Restricted in the same week. Both sessions were excellent.
Great communication before the session and superb instruction on the day. My confidence on the bike has transformed.
