Direct Access Scheme 

A full bike licence entitling you to ride any size of machine is gained through this course. After completing your CBT with us your training continues on a 125cc bike and, once you are proficient, progresses onto a 500cc motorcycle which is what you take your tests on. You must be 21 or over for this course.

Where to start?

If you've never ridden before then take advantage of one of our Taster Sessions (a 1 hour one-to-one session with a qualified instructor), it's included in the price!

You will also need to complete a CBT and pass a Motorcycle Theory Test, (these can be done in either order). The total price shown above includes the CBT and Theory Test (as well as a DVD-Rom to help you practice for it).

What next?

The practical test is in two parts, Module 1 and Module 2. You have to complete them in order, (so you need to pass Module 1 first).

Module 1: This consists of a series of manoeuvres that are tested at a specially built DSA Multi Purpose Test Centre, (or in some cases a casual site). Some of these are at slow speeds, (such as a slalom and a U-Turn), and some at higher speeds, (including a 50km (31.5mph) brake and swerve manoeuvre). They require a good standard of machine skill.

See our Practical Test page for full details of the manoeuvres .

Module 1 Training: This is run over 4 days, including a Saturday, the final day is Module 1 Test Day. The aim is to grow your skills first on a 125cc bike and then on a 500cc machine so that you are proficient on the road and ready to learn and practice the manoeuvres needed to pass the Module 1 test.

Module 2: This test is a 40 minute road ride, (without many set manoeuvres as most of these have already been tested), it does include an angle start (pulling away from behind a parked car) and a hill-start.

Module 2 Training: This is run over 2 days. The first day is to familiarise you with the test town, (normally Folkestone), and to refresh your riding skills. The second day is Module 2 Test Day, with a couple of hours pre-test training from us.

Once you have passed Module 1 and Module 2 you have gained your full motorcycle licence!
