What is A2 training?

The A2 or 'standard' motorcycle training course is designed to prepare candidates for their motorcycle practical test on a bike of between 121cc and 125cc and capable of at least 62.5mph.

This category of licence restricts the rider to operate machines of 33bhp, ride without L  plates, carry passengers and ride on motorways. The restriction to full motorcycle entitlement is automatically removed after 2 years.

Our A2 Standard courses are designed for people who have passed their CBT and wish to progress onto larger bikes, carry passengers and ride on motorways. A2 training is of particular interest to riders under 21 years of age who are not eligible for the Direct Access Scheme (DAS).

*An assessment can be conducted as part of a CBT course taken with us on the relevant machine (manual or auto), or a separate 20 minute assessment ride taken the relevant machine. N.B. Extra days may be added to the standard courses above where needed; the assessment is conducted by experienced instructors, both too little and too much training are counter-productive.

The Direct Access Scheme (DAS) is designed for riders over 21 years old, who wish to ride bikes of unlimited size and power. Training is initially conducted on 125cc bikes, and progresses to 500cc bikes that are used for the practical test. Course lengths are determined by the individual's level of skill and competence - novice riders will naturally require more training than experienced riders! The number of days spent on training is determined by the customer & instructor to enable both parties to feel confident and happy with what is expected. The instructor will also discuss your needs as a rider and offer the best training package to meet those needs.

We can train you from complete novice through to riding unlimited bikes, or begin at any point in between. Your first step is to undergo a one day CBT course. From there, we will assist you with preparing for the Written Theory Test, which you must have before your Practical Test. We have the Written Theory Test on disc which we can loan providing you have booked a full course with us.  This will allow you to practice as much as you wish prior to the actual test. After an agreed number of days training we will accompany you to a nominated test centre, where you will carry out the Practical Test.
