Direct Access Scheme

If you are over the age of 21, we can help you train for your test by Direct Access, with our own replica module 1 test circuit at our training site.
Once you've completed your CBT and taken the theory test, it is possible to take advantage of the Direct Access Scheme to take your test on a bike with a power output of at least 35kW (33bhp). After you've passed your test, you will be able ride any size bike without restriction. If you intend to progress to Direct Access, we may allow you to undertake your CBT in part or full, on a larger bike.
During the on-road and practical excercises when training, you will:
- be accompanied at all times by an approved instructor on another bike and in radio contact
- wear fluorescent or reflective clothing
- follow all other provisional licence restrictions


Accelerated access
This option is suitable for riders who passed their test on a 125cc machine, but reach 21 before their 2 years restriction period of riding a bike of up to 25 kW has ended. To do this, you need to pass a further test on a motorcycle of at least 35 kW. You can practice on bikes over 25 kW under the same practice conditions for direct access riders. You will revert to learner status while practicing (on a motorcycle greater than 25 kW) although test failure will not affect your existing licence.
