Your driving licence will include codes and categories of vehicles which you are entitled to drive - look here.

you definitely need to take the cbt and i'm pretty sure it only lasts for 3 years then you have to take it again. you also need the L-plates. unless you go the whole hog and get a full bike license

This from the DVLA.

Full car licence holders riding mopeds

From 1 February 2001, a person passing a car driving test will be required to undertake a moped riding course before they can ride a moped on the road. A code number 122 is printed on the driving licence. This is only valid after a driver has successfully completed a basic moped training course.

Persons who already hold a full car licence, or who passed a car test before 1 February 2001, are not required to take training before riding a moped. But they are encouraged to do so.
