Motorbike Lessons Dublin
Initial basic training (IBT) Dublin

Progressive access allows you to take advantage of your previous riding experience and skills in a lower motorcycle category to acquire a licence in a higher category without having to take another driving test. For example:

• if you hold a full category A1 licence for two years and complete a progression module training course of IBT on a category A2 motorcycle, you can get a full category A2 licence without taking a practical driving test.

In some instances you may need to take a full driving test. For example:

• if you take the progressive access training route to get a category A2 licence and later decide to get a category A licence, you must take a practical driving test for category A.

You must present on a motorcycle of a minimum of 115cm3 and no greater than 125cm3.

Here are the steps you need to follow:

• Apply for a category A1 (lower power or small motorcycle) learner permit
• complete Initial Basic Training (IBT)
• continue practising until six months have elapsed and you are eligible to take the driving test
• present for a driving test with a motorcycle of minimum 115cm3 and no greater than 125cm3.
