What to Bring to Your Motorcycle Training Course

When you’re heading to your motorcycle training course (whether it’s for CBT, A1, A2, Direct Access or just practice), there are a few things you need to bring to ensure everything goes smoothly.

What to Bring to Your Motorcycle Training Course

1. 1. Provisional Driving License (or Full Car License if applicable)
      • You’ll need to bring your provisional motorcycle license or a full car driving license (if you’re doing CBT or preparing for a full motorcycle test).
   2. Protective Gear: We do supply helmet, jacket, gloves and we have a selection of boots
      • Helmet: You’ll need a full-face helmet (if you don’t have one, most training schools will provide one, but you can always bring your own if it fits safety standards).
      • Jacket: Preferably motorcycle-specific, but a tough, padded jacket (leather, textile, or armoured) will work.
      • Gloves: Motorcycle gloves with decent protection for your hands.
      • Trousers: Jeans will work, but armoured pants or motorcycle-specific gear is better for protection.
      • Boots: Sturdy, ankle-covering boots (preferably with some protection). Trainers or sneakers aren’t ideal.
   3. A Positive Attitude and Patience
      • Learning to ride a motorcycle is exciting but can be intense, especially if you’re a new rider. Bring your patience and a willingness to learn!
   4. Water & Snacks
      • You might be out for several hours, and it’s important to stay hydrated and keep your energy levels up, especially for long training sessions. Bring a water bottle and maybe a snack to stay energized.

Things You Might Not Need (But Check With Your School)

• Motorcycle: Most schools provide the motorcycle or scooter for your training.
• Documents for Test: If you’re taking the theory or practical test during the training, you’ll need your theory test pass certificate and your photo card license.

Things to Consider Bringing, Just in Case

• Spare Clothes: If you’re training in a place with unpredictable weather, having spare layers or a waterproof jacket might be a good idea.
• Sunscreen/Glasses: If you’re riding in sunny weather, don’t forget the sunscreen for any exposed skin and possibly sunglasses (although a good helmet should block the sun for you).
• Medication: If you have any medication or inhalers, make sure to bring them with you.
