FULL LICENCE MOTORCYCLE TRAINING / DAS

We provide full and comprehensive training for those wishing to gain their full motorcycle licence.

​

Once you have completed your CBT, your next step is to book a Conversion. This is a 3-hour session that will get you used to handling a bigger capacity motorcycle.

​

You will also need to book and pass your Motorcycle Theory Test, which you book via https://www.gov.uk/book-theory-test

​

You will need to have passed your Motorcycle Theory Test before commencing training for your Modules 1 & 2 Tests.

​

Module 1 Training - Practice manoeuvres in preparation for DVSA Module 1 Test.

​

Your Module 1 Test result

You’ll be told if you’ve passed Module 1 at the end of the test.

​

The examiner will make a note of:

• serious faults - these are potentially dangerous

• riding faults - these are not potentially dangerous, but could become serious if you keep making the same mistake

​​

You’ll pass module 1 if you make:

• no serious or dangerous faults (sometimes called ‘majors’)

​​

If you do not pass

You’ll have to book another Module 1 test and pay again. You have to choose a date at least 3 working days away.

​

Module 2 Training - Practice road riding skills in preparation for DVSA module 2 test.

​

Module 2 Test - You must pass Module 1 before you can take the Module 2 test.

You can book both modules at the same time, but if you do not pass Module 1 you must wait 3 working days before you can retake it.

​

The Module 2 test normally takes about 40 minutes and includes:

• an eyesight check

• ‘show me, tell me’ vehicle safety questions

• 20 metres for vehicles with a new-style number plate

• 20.5 metres for vehicles with an old-style number plate

​

You’ll fail your riding test if you fail the eyesight check.

​

‘Show me, tell me’ questions

You’ll be asked 2 vehicle safety questions known as the ‘show me, tell me’ questions. These test that you know how to carry out basic safety checks.

• a hill start (where possible)

​

The examiner will give you directions using a radio. They’ll normally follow you on a motorcycle.

​

​

Independent riding

You’ll have about 10 minutes of independent riding. This is designed to assess your ability to ride safely while making your own decisions.

​

You can ask the examiner to repeat the directions if you forget them - you will not fail the test if you go off the route. You can not use sat nav.

​
