Introduction

• The Direct Access Scheme (DAS) has been introduced to allow those aged twenty-one or over to take a test on a large motorcycle of at least 35kW (46.6bhp). Having passed your test you can ride any capacity motorcycle of your choice.

• Depending upon your experience you could pass your test in 5 days (Novice) or as little as 3 days. Whichever you choose we can be quite flexible in our approach and can spread the course out to suit your needs.

• We take care of everything, from bike hire to test booking. You don't need to worry about anything, there are no hidden costs or insurance excess for you to worry about.

• Take and pass a CBT (Compulsory Basic Training)
• Take and pass a Theory test
• Pass Module 1 (Off road test)
• Pass Module 2 (On road test)

Note: The theory test can be taken at any time during the course, but must have been passed before your module 1 (off road) test day.

 
All our courses are built up using "The Official DSA guide to riding the essential skills" and are aimed at giving you the essential skills to ride safely and carry out all the manoeuvres necessary to pass your test. Click to view examples of course structure.

You may now take your test on a 500cc machine as long as it is over 46.6bhp (35kw). During the test you will be expected to:
