A2 (47bhp – Restricted) Training & Tests
The A2, or Standard Motorcycle Test is taken on a machine of at least 250cc and must be between 20kW and 35kW engine power (47bhp). On completion of the A2 test, the rider will have a full motorcycle licence and can take off their L Plates, carry a passenger and ride on the motorway. The rider however will be restricted for 2 years (or until reaching the age of 24 years) to riding a machine of no more than 35kW. At this point if you want to ride an unrestricted bike you will need to take the Mod 1 and 2 practical tests again on a machine of at least 595cc and have at least 50kW engine power. The requirements to complete the A2 Standard Motorcycle Licence Course are;
+ 19 years of age or over (you do not have to have passed your A1 previously)
+ Hold a valid UK (Full or Provisional) driving licence with provisional category A (motorcycle entitlement)
+ A valid CBT certificate
+ A valid theory test pass certificate (This should be obtained before the start of the course)
+ An Automatic option is available for this test if preferred
Training for your Full A2 Licence
Look no further when it comes to your A2 training and tests. We’ll guide you and support you through every step, from your initial CBT course through to your MOD1 & MOD2 tests to gain your Full (A2) Motorcycle Licence.
Our A2 courses are on average 5 days in length with the CBT and Theory completed prior to the start of your course and with MOD1 & MOD2 tests booked for the final day.
Please consider our Half Day or Full Day A2/DAS Initial course if you are unsure on what you feel is required. This stand alone session offers the opportunity to get used to a bigger bike, whilst introducing you to the MOD1 exercises and allows an assessment of your road craft. Following this session our instructors can guide you on what best course option to choose going forward.
Like with many industries the summer months (April onwards) can be very busy for us so please consider booking in advance to avoid disappointment.
Safety for all riders attending a course with us continues to be a priority and is the reason why we will only operate to a maximum of 2 students per instructor.
1-2-1 tuition is available (@ £295 per day) and for some it can often be more beneficial, as it allows training to be tailored to your individual needs.
