Step 1: Licence
DVLA Licence

Step 2: CBT

Before you ride: Compulsory Basic Training. Everyone has to start their riding with a CBT course. It's a training day, which covers the basics of bikes, and it's compulsory. It's not a test as such but you do need to complete it to an acceptable standard before being let loose on the roads. CBT will get you going in a safe and practical way, plus work on the answer to the question: "What's the most dangerous part of a motorbike?"  (See the Extra Info page for a clue!)"

Step 3: Theory Test
The Highway Code

Get the knowledge: Theory Test. After your CBT you can ride on the road, enjoying the freedom and independence, To help understand the 'rules of the road' you need to do some learning for the Theory and Hazard Perception Test. A DVD from one of the supermarkets or Amazon etc is usually all you need, plus a bit of practise. When you're ready, get it booked. If you need help we're here. Note, even if you've passed a car Theory Test, you have to do a bike one.

Step 4: Practical Test

Get your licence: Practical Test. You will probably be gaining useful riding experience but to pass your practical test you will need a bit of training. The practical test is in two parts, Module 1 is off-road and Module 2 is on-road. We can help with both modules ensuring you know what's required and that your riding is up to scratch. To ride motorcycles you need to take your test on a 125cc bike.

Competent Rider

You are limited to a medium sized bike, max 25kW output, for two years after passing, then you can ride any sized bike. If you don't pass your test within 2 years, you have to do another CBT to continue riding as a learner. We can also offer Advanced Riding courses, which are particularly useful when you're moving up to a big machine.
