Hi Val,
Theory or CBT does not matter in which order as you need both documents to sit the test.
I would suggest, given my experience as an Instructor is to complete the CBT 1st, as this is the introduction, and in the event that you think biking is not for you, you have not wasted money on the theory, this is only my opinion mind.
CBT at the price you quoted does seem high, compared to other schools.
We at
http://www.rjhgroup.co.uk for instance charge £75.00 own bike and £99.00 bike hire.
Daily charges for 125cc are £95.00 and 500cc £125.00
We would charge £60.00 for the test, however hourly charges of £20.00 would apply for the duration of the test training and test time.
Shop about is what I say, all training schools vary in costs.
Get yourself to Congleton I say
