Pre Test Training
Pre Test On Road Training
When you have completed you CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) satisfactorily, you will be allowed to ride on public roads where you'll gain the experience needed to pass the practical motorcycle test. To give yourself the best chance of passing the test, you can take this further course designed to help get you through the test.
Accelerated Access Scheme
If you have already obtained a full standard category A licence and you reach the age of 21 before the two year qualifying period is complete you may opt to take a further test on a motorcycle with a power output of at least 35kW (46.6bhp) to gain immediate access to all motorcycles. This is called Accelerated Access. You can practice for this test on motorcycles above 25kW only if you are accompanied by a certified motorcycle instructor on another motorcycle and you are displaying `L' plates. You do not need to complete CBT again, or pass another theory test.
Direct Access Scheme
Again for riders over 21, but with this scheme you need take (and pass) only ONE test to give you direct access to any size of motorcycle. This test must also be taken on a motorcycle with a power output of at least 35kW ( 46.6 bhp ). Before taking the DAS course you will still have to satisfactorily complete CBT and also pass the Theory Test even if you have a full car licence.
Training for Direct Access or Accelerated Access
So that learners aged 21 or over may practice for the large motorcycle test they may ride, on public roads, a motorcycle that exceeds the UK learner specification, but only under the supervision of a certified Direct Access instructor. When learning on a large motorcycle the usual learner restrictions will apply (`L' plates, no pillion passengers and motorway prohibition).
