BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR RESTRICTED ACCESS COURSE
TRAINING OPTIONS
We offer courses of varying lengths to suit your level of experience and confidence:
MODULE 1
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. Our Direct Access Course will prepare you fully for Module 1. It includes practices at the MPTC before sitting your Module 1 test.
MODULE 2
A 35-minute on-road test conducted by the DVSA that assesses your ability to ride in traffic. Our Direct Access Course offers on-road training and mock tests to thoroughly prepare you for the Module 2 test.
MODULES
Part II Training consists of two modules:
CLOTHING
The Driving & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVSA) states you must wear appropriate clothing for the test:
-
a motorcycle helmet that meets British safety standards (this doesn't apply if you're Sikh and wearing a turban)
-
motorcycle boots or other sturdy footwear that provides support and ankle protection
-
textile or leather motorcycle trousers, or heavy denim trousers
-
a textile or leather motorcycle jacket, or a heavy denim jacket with several layers underneath
-
motorcycle gloves
These clothing requirements also apply to all training with ProScot, from the Introduction to CBT course to both Part II modules.
TRAINING MOTORBIKES
Our Direct Access Motorcycle Courses use the latest Suzuki SV650 (supplied by Cupar Motorcycles), fitted with a complete crash protection system for your safety. This motorcycle offers a combination of fantastic handling, excellent brakes, and a 72bhp power output - all in a lightweight, novice-friendly package.
In fact, these bikes are so much fun that several of our students have bought one after passing their test.
