Theory and Practical Test

To obtain a full motorcycle licence it is necessary to pass a theory and the Module 1 & Module 2 tests. Your age will determine which test you can sit, and if you need guidance or further information then read our motorcycle licence options information.

What test do you need to pass?

To obtain a full motorcycle test it is necessary to pass a theory and the practical tests which are split into two modules. It's all about making sure that you are well trained and safe on the roads while riding a motorcycle in Scotland or anywhere else for that matter.

The important thing is that you know how to handle a motorcycle and you are safe. With great motorcycle training from ProScot we will do everything we can to ensure that you are safe and can ride well enough to handle the roads safely. The test is getting harder all the time; it ensures the standards and the level if competency is high. Don't worry about the test, we'll make sure you are ready and confident for passing.

Motorcycle Practical Tests

To obtain a full motorcycle licence, you must successfully complete a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT); pass the motorcycle theory test; and then sit both the Module 1 and Module 2 tests. You can do either Restricted Access (Category A1 or A2 licence) or Full Access (Category A licence) called Direct Access (DAS). Which licence you can go for depends upon your age and the motorcycles engine capacity and power output. A full explanation is given in our Licence Option section.

Module 1 (Mod 1)

- this is an off-road test conducted by the Driving Standards Agency (DVSA) 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 training course will prepare you fully for Module 1 and includes practicing on the DSA's MPTC to build your confidence before sitting your Module 1 test. You must pass the Module 1 test before you can sit the Module 2 test.

Module 2 (Mod 2)

- this is a 35-minute on-road test conducted by the DVSA which assesses your ability to ride in various road and traffic conditions from town riding to country roads to dual carriageway. ProScot's training course provides on-road training and mock tests to prepare you fully for the Module 2 test. Once you successfully pass the Module 2 test you qualify for a full licence, either “A2” restricted or full “A” depending upon the power output of the motorcycle you sat your test with. (Very few have ever sat the A1 test which restricts you to a 125cc!)
