Group A2: (Standard)
The A2 or 'standard' motorcycle training course is designed to prepare candidates for their motorcycle practical test on a bike of between 121cc and 125cc and capable of at least 62.5mph.
This category of licence restricts the rider to operate machines of 33bhp, ride without L plates, carry passengers and ride on motorways.The restriction to full motorcycle entitlement is automatically removed after 2 years.Our A2 Standard courses are designed for people who have passed their CBT and wish to progress onto larger bikes, carry passengers and ride on motorways. A2 training is of particular interest to riders under 21 years of age who are not eligible for the Direct Access Scheme (DAS

Group A: (Direct Access)
The Direct Access Scheme (DAS) is designed for riders over 21 years old, who wish to ride bikes of unlimited size and power. Training is initially conducted on 125cc bikes, and progresses to 500cc bikes that are used for the practical test.Course lengths are determined by the individual's level of skill and competence - novice riders will naturally require more training than experienced riders! The number of days spent on training is advised by our instructors after a free assessment of your riding skill. They are also happy to discuss your needs as a rider and offer the best training package to meet those needs.

We can train you from complete novice through to riding unlimited bikes, or begin at any point in between. Your first step is to undergo a one day CBT course. From there, we will arrange for you to sit the Written Theory Test, which you must have before your Practical Test. We have the Written Theory Test on computer in our classroom and students may practice as much as they wish prior to the actual test. After an agreed number of days training we will accompany you to a nominated test centre, where you will carry out the Practical Test.

On a bike of over 46.6 bhp to ride without restriction.
Brake horse power does not equate to cc. For restrictions contact your local motorcycle dealer.
N.B. The second option is not available to under 21's

You must not carry pillion passengers or use motorways.Your provisional licence is only valid when you have the DL196 Certificate issued on completion of CBT by an approved training body.Provisional moped licences are not time limited.A CBT certificate obtained on a moped is also valid for motorcycles once the rider has reached the age of 17 years and has the necessary licence.

Full Moped Licence:
A full moped licence automatically gives you provisional motorcycle entitlement. However, you must be at least 17 years old to take up the provisional entitlement.

Provisional Motorcycle Licence
You can only hold this if you are at least 17 years old. It entitles you to ride a moped or motorcycle as a learner with L-plates. You may practice unaccompanied on a bike up to 125cc after a compulsory basic training (CBT) course has been completed. For larger machines the Direct Access accompanying rider rules apply. You MUST not carry pillion passengers or use motorways.Provisional motorcycle licences issued before 1 February 2001 are valid for two years from date of issue. Provisional motorcycle licences issued from 1 February 2001 will be valid until age 70. Persons whose licences have lapsed under the pre-February 2001 rules, or who fail to pass a test within the two year life of their current licence, will be able to apply to have their provisional motorcycle licence restored immediately.

Full Car Licence
If you passed a car test before 1 February 2001, you are automatically entitled to ride a moped without L-plates and without taking CBT (although it is recommended you do). If you passed a car test on or after that date, you will still receive moped entitlement but will need to complete a basic moped riding course before riding on the road.Your full car licence also gives you provisional entitlement - you may ride as a learner with L-plates.
