IBT - Initial Basic Training

Initial Basic Training (IBT) is a mandatory training course that teaches basic riding skills to learner motorcyclists. It can help you improve your knowledge of road safety.

• IBT categories include

These modules are a mixture of theory and practical riding skills. For more detailed information on what each of the modules cover, click on the RSA IBT information booklet - link :

When you have completed initial basic training (IBT), your instructor will issue a certification of satisfactory completion. NOTE: your IBT certificate is valid for 2 years from the date of issue and cannot be extended.

After holding your learner permit for 6 months and a valid IBT completion cert, you can then apply for your motorbike test. We offer comprehensive training in a friendly, controlled environment to give you the best possible start to motorbiking. We at idrive provide high quality protective equipment for training.

We supply A1, A2 and A motorbikes for IBT and test.
