Right, lets start from the very beginning...

The law requires that all learner riders complete a CBT course before riding a machine on the road and this must be completed before taking a full licence test

The CBT. . .

The CBT is designed to equip the new rider with the basic knowledge and skills of machine control and a minimum roadwork session of two hours accompanied road riding before venturing out on their own.

The course is a minimum of 1 day but may take longer to bring the rider up to standard.  If a rider requires more than a day there is NO extra charge for training, only additional hire if required will be charged, which for a day is £38.00

The course will be run on a 2:1 pupil to Instructor ratio

The course covers every aspect of riding a machine, here is a brief summary :

Off Road section:

• Eyesight test and safety talk
• Learning the daily and weekly checks and machine controls
• Pull away and stop under control
• Left and right turns
• Slow riding

On Road section:

Minimum of two hours road work to make sure competent on the road, this will cover

Once the standard is achieved a CBT certificate (DL196) will be issued, this will be valid for two years                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

You require a valid full or provisional driving licence to do a course. If you have a photo-card licence both parts must be produced.  If you have a paper licence please produce a valid passport. We can supply all equipment: helmets, jackets, gloves, waterproofs. For your safety do not wear shorts or loose fitting shoes                                                                                                    

Times: Courses start at 9am and finish at approx 4pm:                                                                                                     

If you passed a car test before 1st February 2001, you are automatically entitled to ride a moped - 50cc without L'plates and without taking a CBT. To ride a larger machine up to 125cc you will require a CBT.

If you passed a car test on or after the 1st February 2001, you will still receive a full moped entitlement, but will need to complete a CBT course before riding on the road.

***An idea of the training course structure would be : CBT, Motorcycle theory, 125cc 3-hour lesson & when ready move on to 500cc if required  Module 1 practice lesson, Module 1 test and Module 2 test.  The overall cost would depend on how many lessons you require. *****

Module 1 Tests are taken at Garretts Green DSA test centre

Module 2 tests can be taken at Garretts Green DSA test centre or at Redditch. The centres have different availablity and dates.

We run intensive courses for people who have lots of experience of riding .  Intensive courses will be tailor-made for each persons requirements. The best way to advise you of how much you would require would be to either take your CBT or come a long for a free 1-hour session. 

If you have limited experience or never rideen before, it's best to book your CBT, or if you have your CBT, book a 3-hour lesson, from there we can arrange your training course.  This can include days of training from 9am to 4pm.

Please contact us for details or to arrange CBT or free 1-hour session.

Tests: Please be aware that if you book Module 1 and Module 2 tests within 5 days of each other and you fail Module 1, you will lose your Module 2 test fee and possibly the motorcycle hire fee, if booked.

          Tests won't go ahead if you are inappropriately dressed
DSA is reminding learner motorcyclists to wear suitable clothing when they take their module one and two motorcycle tests.

DSA doesn't want to restrict candidates to wearing the most expensive protective motorcycle clothing. However, DSA's examiners won't ignore or condone riding a motorcycle or scooter while wearing unsuitable clothing.

From 1 July, examiners might tell you that your test won't go ahead if you arrive inappropriately dressed. However, where possible, examiners will give you the chance to find suitable clothing within the time available.

DSA won't pay out-of-pocket expenses if your test is cancelled because of inappropriate clothing.

Guide to suitable clothing:  As a general guide the following is an indication of the minimum level of clothing acceptable: motorcycle boots sturdy footwear or boots that provide support and ankle protection textile or leather motorcycle trousers heavy denim trousers heavy denim jacket with several layers underneath textile or leather motorcycle jacket motorcycle gloves

The following are examples of clothing that are not acceptable: lightweight training shoes canvas basket ball trainers any form of clothing with areas of exposed skin shell suit or lightweight tracksuit distressed ripped jeans lightweight fleece or hoody no gloves or skiing gloves. In all cases it's a legal requirement that riders wear an approved and correctly fastened motorcycle helmet,* with suitable eye protection (*an exception is made for members of the Sikh religion wearing a turban).Cases of inappropriate clothing

Recently there have been cases where candidates have arrived unsuitably dressed for the practical test. This has included wearing lightweight nylon shell suits, lightweight canvas training shoes, or wearing no gloves. One of these cases resulted in the test not going ahead.

If you are not sure which course would be suitable, you can take your CBT and then the Instructor can advise you.

If you take a full 50cc moped test you will be able to remove the L'plates and carry a pillion.

if you take a full test on 125cc motorcycle you will have a restricted licence for 2 years, this is a machine no more than 33bhp.  If you are under 21 years old this is the route you can take.  After the restricted period you can then ride any size bike with no further test.

If you are 21 or over you can take a full test on a 47bhp machine (we use 500cc) once you have passed this test you can then ride any size machine with no restrictions

Tests: Please be aware that if you book Module 1 and Module 2 tests within 5 days of each other and you fail Module 1, you will lose your Module 2 test fee and possibly the motorcycle hire fee, if booked.

Training is on a 1:1 basis and can cover any aspect of riding you wish.  We offer training sessions to suit: (on own machine unless stated)
