"I've never been on a motorcycle before, where should I start?"

It's great to see that you're interested in learning to ride, and we're excited to help start your riding journey. If you're ready to jump in, the best course for you is our 7 Day Direct Access course.

This all-inclusive course takes care of all basic training, as well as both DVSA Module 1 & 2 tests for you to achieve your motorcycle licence. You can see more about this course, including prices, what's included as standard, and upgrade options here.

Not sure if riding is for you?

Our CBT+ course is a great place for you to start if you're apprehensive, or not ready to dive in straight away.

Covering your initial basic training as well as introducing test-ready riding techniques, this course will give you some hands-on riding experience and help decide what your next step is. This course is all-inclusive, so you don't need to worry about buying any kit or learning things in advance. You can see all the details here.

Our CBT+ course also bolts seamlessly onto our 5 or 6 Day Direct Access courses, meaning you always get the best possible price!


"I already have a valid CBT (compulsory basic training) certificate, which course is right for me?"

Our 5 and 6 Day Direct Access courses are a great choice for riders with an existing CBT certification, depending on your experience level.

I have a CBT certificate, and ride every day, which course is for me?

If you're riding confidently on a geared 125cc motorcycle, commuting every day or more than 3 times a week, then our 5 Day Direct Access course is perfect for you.

This intense, highly focused course will help you take the final steps to gain your licence. You can see more about this course, including prices, what's included as standard, and upgrade options here.

I have a CBT certificate, but can't get much riding in, what should I do?

Practice is one of the most important parts of learning to ride, and we understand that not everyone can commit to this in their daily schedules. If you have a CBT certificate but aren't able to ride more than a few times a week, we'd recommend our 6 Day Direct Access course for you. With an additional day of practice before starting test preparation, this course allows you to settle into riding again, giving you the best opportunity to gain your licence at the end of the week.
