Module one

You must provide all of the following valid documents:

Your driving licence with the correct provisional entitlement - both the photocard and counterpart document or a valid UK passport to support a paper licence.
Your compulsory basic training (CBT) certificate (DL196).
Your motorcycle theory test certificate.
If you hold a full moped licence and wish to upgrade to a full motorcycle licence, or if you are 21 years old and wish to upgrade your motorcycle licence, you are exempt from the CBT and theory test.

Module one includes the following specified manoeuvres and generally takes around 20 minutes to complete:

Wheeling the machine and using the stand.
Doing a slalom and figure of eight.
Cornering, hazard avoidance and controlled stop.
U-turn.
A slow ride.
The emergency stop.
There is a minimum speed requirement of 50 kilometres per hour (approximately 32 miles per hour) for the hazard avoidance and emergency stop exercises.

Module two

For module two you must produce your module one pass certificate, and all the documents that you had to present at the module one test.

Module two is the on-road module and typically takes around 40 minutes. This module includes the eyesight test, the safety and balance questions and the road riding element that will cover a variety of road and traffic conditions.

You’ll be asked to carry out normal stops, an angle start (pulling out from behind a parked vehicle) and, where possible, a hill start. The examiner will normally follow you on a motorcycle, using a radio to give you directions.

Your test result

At the end of module one, the examiner will give you the result and you can ask for feedback on how you did. If you passed, you’ll receive your module one pass certificate.

At the end of module two, the examiner will tell you whether you have passed or failed and you can ask for feedback on how you did.

If you fail either module, you should ask the examiner for feedback to help you prepare for your next test. Your driving test report will identify areas where any mistakes were made.

If you pass both modules, the examiner will explain to you how to change your provisional licence into a full licence. Or he will process the new licence for you.
