FULL LICENCE MOTORCYCLE TRAINING / DAS

We provide full and comprehensive training for those wishing to gain their full motorcycle licence.

​

Once you have completed your CBT, your next step is to book a Conversion. This is a 3-hour session that will get you used to handling a bigger capacity motorcycle.

​

You will also need to book and pass your Motorcycle Theory Test, which you book via https://www.gov.uk/book-theory-test

​

You will need to have passed your Motorcycle Theory Test before commencing training for your Modules 1 & 2 Tests.

​

Module 1 Training - Practice manoeuvres in preparation for DVSA Module 1 Test.

​

​​

You’ll pass module 1 if you make:

​

Module 2 Training - Practice road riding skills in preparation for DVSA module 2 test.

​

Module 2 Test - You must pass Module 1 before you can take the Module 2 test.

​

The Module 2 test normally takes about 40 minutes and includes:

​

You’ll fail your riding test if you fail the eyesight check.

​

​

The examiner will give you directions using a radio. They’ll normally follow you on a motorcycle.

​

Independent riding

You’ll have about 10 minutes of independent riding. This is designed to assess your ability to ride safely while making your own decisions.

​

You can ask the examiner to repeat the directions if you forget them - you will not fail the test if you go off the route. You can not use sat nav.
