Full Licence

Requirements for a Full Motorcycle Licence

To gain your full motorcycle licence, you’ll need to meet certain legal requirements:

For your first motorcycle licence, you must complete a CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) and pass a Motorcycle Theory Test.
If you already hold an A1 or A2 motorcycle licence and are upgrading to a full Category A licence, you do not need to retake the theory test or CBT.

This ensures that new riders gain the essential knowledge and road experience before moving up to a full licence, while progressive upgrades recognise your existing training and riding experience.

A, A1 & A2 Motorbike Courses:

We offer training and preparation for both Module 1 (off-road manoeuvres) and Module 2 (on-road riding) tests, helping you progress to the right motorcycle licence for your age and experience.

Requirements

A valid CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) certificate
A valid Motorcycle Theory Test certificate

Licence Categories & Age Requirements

A1 Licence (Light Motorcycle) – Ages 17+. Allows you to ride a motorcycle up to 125cc with L plates removed.
A2 Licence (Restricted Licence) – Ages 19+. Allows you to ride a motorcycle up to 35kW (approx. 47bhp).
Category A (Full/Direct Access Licence) – Ages 24+ (or 21+ via progressive access). Ride any size of motorcycle with no restrictions.

Our structured training ensures you’re fully prepared for both test modules, with expert instruction and tailored support to build confidence every step of the way.

Our motorcycle training courses prepare you for both parts of the practical test while building the skills you need to ride safely and confidently.

Module 1 – Off-Road Training

You’ll practise all the manoeuvres and exercises required for the Module 1 test at the DVSA test centre, including:

Slow control and balance
Figure-of-eight
U-turns
Controlled stops
Emergency stops
Hazard avoidance manoeuvres

Module 2 – On-Road Training

We prepare you thoroughly for the on-road Module 2 test, covering:

Road positioning and awareness
Safe speeds and separation distances
Dealing with junctions, roundabouts, and traffic lights
Riding on different types of roads, including dual carriageways
Building advanced handling and safety awareness

Our goal is not only to help you pass your test but also to make you a confident, safe, and skilled rider for life.

Basic info

All three licence types – A1, A2 and Category A – involve the same two-part practical test process. Our courses prepare you thoroughly for both:

Module 1 – Off-Road Manoeuvres

Taken at a DVSA test centre, this module checks your bike handling skills and manoeuvrability in a safe, off-road environment. You’ll be asked to perform tasks such as slow control, figure-of-eight, controlled stops, and hazard avoidance.

Module 2 – On Road Ride

This is the road test, where you demonstrate safe riding in real traffic conditions. It includes town riding, junctions, roundabouts, dual carriageways, and independent riding.

We provide structured training for both modules across all licence categories, giving you the skills, confidence, and experience to pass and ride safely.
