Motorcycle Training is a life skill

Motorcycle Training is a life skill and it is extremely important that you start off with the best training on offer. When you begin this process, it is difficult to know which Approved Training Body (ATB) you should use as you have no benchmark against which to measure.

There are a couple of things that you should expect – firstly, you should meet at the training school’s offices to commence your training and not at a residential address or in a car park. And secondly, your safety equipment and clothing should be provided for you.

Aged 16 (Moped licence)

After you have successfully completed your Compulsory Basic Training (CBT), you will be able to ride a moped (up to 50cc) unaccompanied on the road with L Plates, no pillion passengers and not on a motorway.

Light motorcycle licence for 16-17 year olds

Aged 17-18 (Light motorcycle licence)

After you have successfully completed your Compulsory Basic Training (CBT), you will be able to ride a motorbike up to 125cc with L Plates. If you wish to gain an ‘A1′ Light Motorcycle Licence, you must undergo training and take the relevant motorcycle tests on a 125cc machine.

Medium motorcycle licence for 19-23 year olds

Aged 19-23 (Medium motorcycle licence)

After you have successfully completed your Compulsory Basic Training (CBT), you will be able to ride a motorbike up to 125cc with L Plates. If you wish to gain an ‘A2′ Medium Motorcycle Licence, you must complete the training on a relevant powered motorcycle (25-35kW). After which you can ride a larger motorbike but it must be restricted to 35kW (conditions apply).

What Our Customers Say

I want to start by saying thank you for all the information you both supplied me and for responding  promptly. Secondly I would like to say I had a fantastic day and experience learning with RMT Motorcycle Training and with my instructor for the day Paul Hughes.

I am a dance teacher, so I understand what its like to teach people and straight away made me feel at ease and comfortable. He did a great job with me yesterday and he is a great professional who knows his craft.

I will be back to continue my training with RMT in the near future. Also I would recommend you, your school and instructors to other learners. Thank you again
