What is the A1 / A2 training course?
Not everyone takes the full Direct Access route. If you are 17 or 18 you can train for an A1 licence on a 125cc. From 19 you can take an A2 licence, which allows a motorcycle up to 47bhp. If you already hold an A2 licence you can upgrade to a full A licence from the age of 21.
This training is charged by the hour so you only pay for what you need.
Who is it for?
- Riders aged 17 or 18 going for an A1 licence

- A2 licence holders upgrading to category A
