The training will comprise of a minimum of 16 hours to cover both practical and theoretical elements of IBT (CBT).
The IBT course syllabus includes 4 modules, which have to be completed in turn as outlined by CBT Group.ie and sanctioned by RSA. You can only move on to the next module when your instructor is satisfied you have retained the necessary theory and demonstrated the practical skills to a basic safe competency level as set out by the Road Safety Authority.
