I'll be taking my cbt soon however I'm really in my head about gear changing and can't seem to help it do you have any tips on this do you recommend practicing in a car park or something before hand.

A CBT assumes no prior knowledge and your instructor is there is guide you through it nice and gently, so don't worry. 😊

Can you change gear on turns and roundabouts or is that a no no like the front brake ?

Ideally all braking and gear shifting should be done pre-corner but some corners are long enough & fast enough to warrant a gear shift. Honestly, for normal road-riding it's really not critical - you're not taxing the tyres and suspension enough for it to be an issue.

If you can be very smooth (and aren't haulin' arse) you get away with it. Front brake too. Just touching it to scrub a few mph won't upset the bike, but people tend to panic, forget all their training, grab a handful of brake and come off the bike there and then. That's why these things aren't really taught in _basic_ training. You're much more likely to spook and come off an otherwise rock stable bike while you're still having to actively think about everything you do. Once all control inputs are smooth and committed to muscle memory you can start easing off on these big no-nos.
