The New test is simple!.....

- Take a Theory Test
- Start Training with KickStart
- We will guide you through both modules of the test
We have our own full-sized, off road practice test centre!
The off-road element can be rehearsed at our training site. Unlike many of our competitors, we are able to use an actual full scale equivalent of the test centre's configurations, allowing yourself both time and saved expenses from costly rehersals at test centres.
The practical on-road element, will cover the test routes, and covers much, if not all, of the possible routes that your test examiner will ask you to ride on your test. As this element ultimately decides the outcome of your test, we believe that at least two days must be spent on this, while also working on your technique and observations.These specified manoeuvres on the off road element are:
- At least two manoeuvres carried out at slow speed, including a slalom
- At least two manoeuvres carried out at higher speed, of which one exercise should be in second or third gear, at a speed of at least 30 km/h (approx. 19 mph) and one exercise avoiding an obstacle at a minimum speed of 50 km/h (approx. 32 mph)
- At least two braking manoeuvres, including an emergency brake at a minimum speed of 50 km/h (approx. 32 mph)
On the day of the Module 1 test, candidates will be asked by the examiner to demonstrate their riding ability on either the left-hand or right-hand circuit. Please note that the standard off-road layout may change due to local conditions on the casual sites.

Those candidates who have demonstrated riding skills of a dangerously incompetent level during Module 1 will not be permitted to take Module 2.
Those candidates who have passed Module 1 will receive a Test Pass Certificate which they must bring with them when they take Module 2.
Module 2 of the test will be about 57 minutes in length and will consist of the eyesight test, road safety questions and at least 30 minutes of road riding. consisting of a road ride covering a variety of road and traffic conditions and will also include normal stops, hill and angle starts. This element is similar to the practical test experienced in the past few years.
The practical moped riding test
The practical moped riding test (which does not include the high-speed requirements) will also be carried out in two modules. The obstacle avoidance and emergency braking exercises will be carried out in Module 1 at 30 km/h (approx. 19 mph). A test for the drivers of motorcycle and side car combination is also under development.Information taken from the Driving Standards Agency Website
