* Specific requirements for these categories are in place when presented to the driving test. Information on representative vehicles for the driving test can be found here.

You can access the various motorcycle categories by ‘direct access’ or ‘progressive access’.

DIRECT ACCESS

Direct access is where you have not previously held a full licence in a lower category of motorcycle previously.

PROGRESSIVE ACCESS

Progressive access applies to categories A2 and A. This means that you may be entitled to complete a course of training in order to obtain the higher motorcycle category full licence. For example, if you are 18 years of age and you have held a full Category A1 licence for 2 years, you can complete a training course (or progression module) of Initial Basic Training on an A2 motorcycle, and upon satisfactory completion of the training, you can get your full Category A2 licence.
