Motorcycle License Categories
Motorcycle Licensing can get a little confusing, use the app below to find the category which suits you. If you're still unsure we are on-hand Monday to Saturday 9-5 to answer your questions. Click on the arrows below to scroll through the license categories.
Direct Access (Category A)
Direct Access means you have an unrestricted motorcycle license. In order to gain this license you must pass a motorcycle theory test, have a valid CBT, then take your practical motorcycle test on at least a 600cc machine. We use the Kawasaki er-6n due it's lightweight yet powerful nature. You must be 24 to take a direct access test unless you have held an A2 license for 2 years.
Depending on the length of your training course, you may begin on 125cc machine and progress onto a 500cc, before moving up to a 650cc bike for the last 3 days of your course.

Restricted License (Category A2)
This license is for middleweight bikes. The A2 category of license allows you ride motorcycles up to a maximum of 46.6bhp. In order to obtain this license you need only take your test on a 395cc+ machine. You only need to be 19 to take an A2 test. If you take your A2 test at 19 it means that you may take your A (direct access test) at 21, so you woill mot have to wait until 24.
We use our Suzuki GS500 bikes for this test, they are ideal for this test category as they are exactly 46.6bhp so offer the most power without moving into the next license category.
You may begin your course on a 125cc machine, depending on your level of experience. The final 4 days of your course will take place on the 500.

125 License (Category A1)
The A1 License is available to anybody aged 17 or over. In order to gain this license you have to pass a motorcycle theory test, you must have a CBT, and then take the practical motorcycle test on a 125cc machine. Although you won't be allowed to ride anything bigger than a 125cc bike with this license, it will allow you to take passengers, use the motorway, and remove those pesky L-plates.
This license category is popular with light bike riders who have no intention of riding a bigger motorcycle. The entire course and test must be taken on a 125cc bike.

This category allows you to ride mopeds with a passenger, and to ride without L-Plates.

Automatic License Categories
Please note that all the license categories are available with automatic entitlement.
If you take you test on an automatic bike you will be restricted to riding an automatic bike thereafter, unless you re-take your test on a manual bike
This option is very popular with scooter riders, who often only ever intend to ride automatic scooters.
The restriction will be shown on your license after you have taken your test.
Training Course Options
Arro Rider Training are pleased to provide direct access courses, A1 and A2 training, and now progressive access training (this is training for those who wish to upgrade their license from A2 to A). Our courses come in the following lengths
4-Day Course
The four day course is designed for those riders who already have considerable riding experience on a manual bike. If you have been riding on a CBT for a good length of time, you have held a full license in the past, or you have taken part in a lot of off-road geared-bike riding, this is the option for you.
5-Day Course
This option is designed for those riders who have a little riding experience on geared bikes. If you have recently completed a CBT or you have had a small amount of successful off-road experience, this may be the best option for you.
6-Day Course
The 6-day option is for our least experienced riders. If you have little or no experience on a manual motorcycle than choose this course. This step-by-step course will start on a 125, and progress onto bigger bikes where relevant.
2/3 Day Booster Course
The 2/3 course is for those who have already taken and passed the A2 test. If you have held an A2 license for 2 years, or you are over 24, you can upgrade your license to an unrestricted A license. You don't need to retake your theory test or CBT, just the two practical tests. Call us for more info on these short course on 02380 636 507
