Along with your photocard licence, you will need to provide a valid licence check code or provide us with your National Insurance number, so that we can check your licence details online.
If you have an old paper style licence, then you will also require to bring along a photographic ID, such as a passport.

our Training MOTORCYCLES


We are delighted to be the UK’s first KTM-partnered motorcycle training school, offering a full fleet of KTM 890 Dukes for our Category A (unrestricted) licence trainees! The 890 Duke has an approachable seat height, and offers easy slow speed handling and control, while providing plenty of acceleration and braking.
Our instructors use KTM 890 Adventures, providing them with all-day comfort, visibility and maximum situational awareness.
For those who want to complete their Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course on a manual motorcycle, we have a range of geared 125 motorbikes, including a lowered option. If you’d rather complete your CBT course on a twist-and-go automatic scooter, we have a Sunra Robo-S and a Sunra Miku Super available, both fully electric, alongside a 125cc and 50cc petrol automatic scooters.
