The Motorcycle Tests
In order to complete all of the above other than the CBT you must complete the CBT, a motorcycle theory test and take the 2 practical tests.
Module one: This module is conducted at the D.V.S.A MPTC (multi purpose test centre) This test can be booked by our staff for you if you require, but can be booked by yourself if so wish. The test takes an average of 8 to 15 mins to complete, but you are under no pressure to rush through the test by the examiner. They conduct the test at your pace.
Various slow speed and higher speed manoeuvres make up the mod one test, and our instructors will guide you through and give you ample time to practice this test at either the local D.V.S.A test centres using the same equipment as the actual practical test itself, or at our own centre set within the grounds of Aintree Racecourse
Module two tests. This module consists of a 38 to 40 min road ride whilst being followed by a D.V.S.A Examiner, who will assess you riding ability. You will of course by this stage be fully acquainted with the test requirements, as our instructors would have taught you what is required to obtain your full motorcycle licence entitlement.
For Progressive Access A2 - full A entitlement you must have held the lower licence for a minimum of 2 years and then take your Module 2 within 6 months of passing your module 1 test.
*Remember that all documents are required for training and for test day.
