Preparatory On Road Training Course

When you have satisfactorily completed you CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) you will be allowed to ride on public roads where you'll gain the experience needed to pass your practical motorcycle test. To give yourself the best chance of passing you can take this further course designed to help get you through the test.

Accelerated Access Scheme

If you have already obtained a full standard category A licence and you reach the age of 21 before the two year qualifying period is complete you may opt to take a further test on a motorcycle with a power output of at least 35kW (46.6bhp) to gain immediate access to all motorcycles. This is called Accelerated Access. You can practice for this test on motorcycles above 25kW only if you are accompanied by a certified motorcycle instructor on another motorcycle and you are displaying `L' plates. You do not need to complete CBT again, or pass another theory test.

Direct Access Scheme

Again for riders over 21, but with this scheme you need take (and pass) only ONE test to give you direct access to any size of motorcycle. This test must also be taken on a motorcycle with a power output of at least 35kW ( 46.6 bhp ). Before taking the DAS course you will still have to satisfactorily complete CBT and also pass the Theory Test even if you have a full car licence.

Training for Direct Access or Accelerated Access

So that learners aged 21 or over may practice for the large motorcycle test they may ride, on public roads, a motorcycle that exceeds the UK learner specification, but only under the supervision of a certified Direct Access instructor. When learning on a large motorcycle the usual learner restrictions will apply (`L' plates, no pillion passengers and motorway prohibition).

Advanced Training

Once you've passed your test you may want to improve your riding skills. For further details of these and other courses please feel free to contact us.
