Direct Access Training Course
ProScot’s Direct Access Training Course is only available for riders aged 21 years and over, as the latter stages of this course are conducted on larger, 650cc motorcycles.
To obtain a full unrestricted motorcycle licence, you must successfully complete Part 1, which is Compulsory Basic Training (CBT); pass the motorcycle theory test; and undergo DAS training which is split into two modules.
Module 1 - an off-road test conducted by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) on a Multi Purpose Test Centre (MPTC). This test lasts approximately 12 minutes and tests your handling skills and both slow speed and high speed machine control. ProScot’s Direct Access Training Course will prepare you fully for Module 1 and includes practicing at the MPTC before sitting your Module 1 test.
Module 2 - a 35-minute on-road test conducted by the DSA which assesses your ability to ride in traffic. ProScot’s Direct Access Training Course provides on-road training and mock tests to prepare you fully for the Module 2 test.
Passing your Module 1 and Module 2 tests on a motorcycle of a minimum power output of 46.6bhp will give you a full category A licence, allowing you to ride any motorcycle without any restriction of power.
ProScot’s Direct Access Training Courses use the latest Kawasaki ER6Ns (supplied by Kirkcaldy Kawasaki), fitted with a complete crash protection system for your safety. This motorcycle offers a combination of fantastic handling, great brakes and a 72bhp power output - all in a lightweight, novice-friendly package. In fact, these bikes are so much fun, several of our students have bought one after passing their test.
Courses Available
Short Course - aimed at experienced riders with a full car licence.
Full Course - aimed at novice riders, provisional car license holders and anyone who’s not ridden a motorcycle for a few years.
In the interests of safety (and in accordance with Driving Standards Agency requirements), ProScot reserves the right to prevent a student from proceeding onto a 650cc motorcycle if they’re physically incapable of handling a larger machine or lack sufficient control to operate the bike safely. We have two lower seat height Kawasaki's but, in the rare instances where these bikes are also not suitable, the training and test would be completed on a 125cc motorcycle.
