Good stuff... You basically can't fail the CBT but the controls might take a little time to get used to if it's all new to you - especially if it's manual.
If you're going onto do a DAS course, I found a couple of hours instructed pootling on a 125 to be quite helpful at cementing the basics, before going onto the big bikes.

Nice.
Yea I’m hoping this guy’s solid, and the training is good. As far as I’m aware it will be manual, as I plan on riding manual as and when.
I’d prefer to do a day or so fully on 125 and nail controls best I can, before touching anything heavy. Sooner have strong foundations than anything painful.

You can fail, BUT it is if the instructor feels that you are confident enough controlling the bike on the road bit. It is for your safety...
Note that school bikes will have been abused by many people, so make positive gear changes and don't worry about draging the rear brake is slow speed manoeuvres. Also look where yu want to go and make sure you shoulder check.

@Dramatic_Hammer @hugo7 woulda thought so too, but seems like a few places are busier than expected because of the mild autumn.
Of the three ‘local’ companies, one of the two returned my call and were glad I could do weekdays as they are very busy at the moment, weekends all booked up. Fortunately this is also the one that’s only a mile or two down the path from me. £130 all in, booked for Tuesday 12th (dad’s birthday no less) with potential for Wednesday if I need any extra time.
