A, A2 and A1 licences
A1 licence (17+)
Ride bikes up to 125cc without L plates, and on the motorway. You need a valid CBT and a valid motorcycle theory test pass.
A2 licence (19+)
Ride medium-sized bikes up to 35kW. You need a valid CBT and a valid motorcycle theory test pass.
A licence (24+)
Unrestricted, ride any bike. Or, if you’ve held an A2 licence for 2 years, upgrade through progressive access. No theory test is needed.
Can I book?
You can book if you:
- are 24 or over for Category A, 19 or over for Category A2, or 17 or over for Category A1
- have passed your motorcycle theory test, with at least 2 months left on it (not needed for progressive access A2 to A)
- have a valid CBT, with at least 2 months left on it
- hold a provisional or full UK driving licence – the physical card. DVSA won’t accept check codes, copies or photos on your phone
How it works
- Complete your CBT with us, or book it online.
- Pass your motorcycle theory test.
- Book your full licence training with us online.
- We organise the tests and the rest. Enjoy!
You need a minimum of 3 training sessions before your Module 1 test: 1 × Module 1 training, 1 × Module 2 training and 1 more of your choice. If you find Module 1 challenging, we recommend an extra Module 1 session as your third. A typical course is 5 sessions: 3 training sessions and 2 tests.
Each session lasts 3 hours, because concentration drops after that. Come well rested and bring light refreshments. DVSA doesn’t test at weekends, so most training and tests are on weekdays. We’ll arrange your test dates after you email us your availability.
Please don’t book your Module 2 test until you have passed Module 1. If you book Module 2 first and don’t pass Module 1, you may lose your test fee.

Module 1 – off-road test
About 20 minutes in an off-road manoeuvring area: wheeling the bike and using the stand, slalom and figure of 8, slow ride, U-turn, cornering and a controlled stop, cornering and an emergency stop, and cornering and hazard avoidance (minimum 31mph on a motorcycle). You pass with no serious or dangerous faults and no more than 5 riding faults.
Module 2 – on-road test
About 40 minutes: an eyesight check (a number plate at 20 metres), 2 “show me, tell me” safety questions, road riding with normal, angle and hill starts, and about 10 minutes of independent riding. Bring your Module 1 pass certificate and all your documents. Pass Module 2 and you can ride without L plates straight away.
If you don’t pass
Don’t worry, we’ll help you rebook. A new Module 1 test has to be at least 3 working days away, and a new Module 2 test at least 10 working days away. To move your booking, give us more than 15 days’ notice (a 15% handling fee applies). Cancellations and refunds are covered in our Terms and Conditions.
