What is a full category A Motorcycle Licence? 

Obtaining a Full Category A Motorcycle Licence is a significant milestone for riders, as it requires passing both Module 1 and Module 2 assessments. Upon successful completion of these modules, you will be granted a full, unrestricted motorcycle licence, allowing you to ride any motorcycle with any engine capacity, without any restrictions.

Whilst it is possible to book both your Module 1 and Module 2 assessments on the same day, please note that if you fail the Module 1 test, you will be unable to sit the subsequent Module 2 test.
