City School of MotorCycling Courses
We provide a full range of courses, suited to people of all skill levels. We will asses your skill level and put you on the a course that is right for you, whether you are a complete novice or returning to bikes after a number of years away from riding. You will need to have either a full UK /NI drivers licence or a valid UK/NI provisional licence to undertake any test. If you have a EEC/EU licence please contact us for details.CBT
This is where it all starts. This is a course prescibed by the DSA which you will have to pass before you can ride a motorcycle on public roads. It is a mixture of theory and practical, with the initial traing taking place on our purpose built site. We have motorcycles for hire and we can provide protective clothing free of charge. Follow the link here to our page describing the course in more detail.A2 LICENCE
Training and testing on a bike of 120-125cc with a power output of 14.6bhp, or less will qualify the rider for a full A2 licence. This will allow him/her to ride motorcycles up to 33bhp/25KW for a period of two years. After two years any motorcycle can be ridden. Power output is not always directly related to engine size, so please consult your motorcycle dealer for advice on what bikes you may ride with this licence.A1 LICENCE
Training and testing on a bike 75-125cc with a top speed under 100km/h allows the rider a full licence for bikes up to 125cc/14.6bhp. This is aimed at riders who are only interested in commuting on small bikes. The training structure and cost are the same as for the A2 licence.DIRECT ACCESS SCHEME(DAS)
From the 1st January 1997 the direct access scheme has allowed riders aged 21 and over to learn on motorcycles over 125cc. The bike used for test must be at least 46.6bhp(35kw). Our prices have been calculated on the basis that the final three days training are done on a 500cc bike. Typically a five day course consists of CBT on a 125cc day 2 on a 125cc improving road skills and day three conversion onto a 500cc then day 4 consolidating skills with your test on the afternoon of day 5.Before you can do your bike test you must pass a DSA Theory Test for which we give training in our school. Please follow the link below for more details:
