During a CBTA assessment, you’ll need to ride around a predefined assessment route.
Your riding skills will be assessed through the entire duration of the assessment ride (including mounting and dismounting). At any given time during the assessment, you’ll need to perform one of the seven riding tasks outlined below.

Restricted stage (Class 6F CBTA) course assessment - will take between 25-30 minutes riding time, mostly in higher speed zone areas.
The assessment is conducted as one continuous ride, but you might need to pull over during the assessment on one or more occasions to allow the assessor to update the assessment score sheet.
