Spongefinger Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Hi all, Due to covid and other issues my full licence training has become drawn out and fragmented. I'm becoming concerned that I may not get round to passing mod 1 and mod 2 before my CBT runs out. If you pass mod 1 do you still need a current CBT to take mod 2 ? Cheers.

Bender Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Was just typing, you need cbt till you pass mod 2, Mod 1 also expires with cbt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongefinger Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Oh shit so if I don't pass my mod 2 before my CBT runs out I've got to do my CBT and mod 1 again !! FFS that'll be about another £300 quid. At this point I'm really kicking myself. The amount of money I've spent I should have just bought a 125 and knocked about on it until this had all calmed down , I've investedted so much money now I can't just say f**k it and buy a 125.....hard lesson learned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if it expires between MOD1 and 2 you will need to do another CBT before you can do MOD2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6 months only applies to people "upgrading your licence through ‘progressive access’, you must pass module 2 within 6 months. You have to pass module 1 again if you do." not. https://www.gov.uk/motorcycle-test/module-1-offroad-test Edited January 13, 2021 by KiwiBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I'm confused now cbt does have bearing on mod 1, you can't take it without one? Cbt Theory Any order is fineCbt valid for 2 years Mod 1 expires with cbt As does theory, if your theory expires first it wipes out the rest also. Must have all of the above to do mod 2 All must be carried out within 2 years of cbt, all expire with cbt or theory. That's from my understanding of doing the whole thing a few yrs back.

dynax Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 The whole system needs making clearer and any changes need to kept up to date properly, total shambles at the moment, yes covid hasn't helped but it's not an excuse anymore, someone needs their butt kicking.

It's a bit, convoluted, but usually 2yrs is enough time to pass the tests and work out what needs doing 4 tests basically, if first 2 expire your out, start again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that there is no expiry date on Mod 1(Unless upgrading through progressive access) However, you must have a valid cbt and theory to take mod2. If you have passed Mod 1 you can retake your theory and cbt and then take Mod2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongefinger Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Woah hang on. So my theory expires as well with my CBT !?!?! I'm really confused now. partly fault because of life getting in the way I didn't even sit on a bike for a year after I passed my CBT. Obviously I could not have foreseen covid coming and the issues it would bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 If you do not pass Mod2 before your theory expires then you will have to re sit the theory and re do the Mod1 before doing the Mod2.

skyrider Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 what a palava the whole bike test thing is getting out of hand, what was wrong with how it used to be there would be an uproar if they started doing this crap with car tests 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongefinger Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Just had confirmation from my training school. Mod 1 is valid for the duration of your theory not your CBT so you don't loose mod 1 pass until theory runs out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
