The first step is to complete Compulsory Basic Training (CBT).
Anyone wishing to ride on the road as a learner moped or motorcycle rider or is planning to take their full motorcycle test, must first complete a CBT.
The CBT training we provide is based on a six hour session (plus breaks), broken down into four hours off-road training and a minimum of two hours on-road training.
This course is also to validate all moped entitlement for full car driving licence holders passing their car test after 1st February 2001.

If you wish to obtain your full licence then the next step is your Theory test
If you have held a category A2 licence for more than two years you do not need to re-take the Theory Test.
The motorcycle theory test is a two part “on-screen” test. The first part is a multiple choice questionnaire based on the highway code, traffic laws and regulations.
This is specific to each category of vehicle with slightly different questions for each, so even if you have already taken the test for a car or another vehicle you will still need to take the motorcycle specific one if you wish to obtain a full licence.
The second part of the test is a series of hazard awareness videoclips where your score is dependant on clicking when you see a developing hazard.
