First of all we start off covering the test routes and work through all of the maneuvers, safety checks, and position on the road. Additionally we correct any problems if and when they arise.
We communicate to our students about what they think they are having a problem with and we go through these issues and correct them. Student focus is put into breaking bad habits with an end result of riding a bike with increased confidence and proper preparation for the test.

Some Frequently Asked Questions
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.

Motorbike Lessons In Dublin For Riders At Different Stages
Every learner comes to motorbike training at a different point. Some people are starting from the very beginning and need help getting used to the bike, the controls, and the feeling of being on the road. Others have already completed some training but want extra lessons before their test, or they may be returning to motorbikes after a long break.
At O’Reilly School of Motoring Dublin, our lessons are built around the rider in front of us. We do not treat every student the same, because every rider has different habits, worries, strengths, and weak points. One learner might need help with clutch control and slow speed movement. Another might need to improve observation, road position, or confidence around junctions.
The aim is simple. We want you to feel more settled on the bike, more aware of what is happening around you, and better prepared for real road situations. Good riding is not just about passing a test. It is about knowing how to handle the bike properly and making safer decisions every time you ride.
IBT Training In Tallaght, Dublin 24
Our IBT training takes place in Tallaght, Dublin 24, making O’Reilly School of Motoring a practical option for learner motorcyclists from Tallaght, South Dublin, and nearby areas. Being based at Whitestown Way gives students a local place to complete their training and build confidence before going further onto public roads.
IBT training gives learner riders the foundation they need before riding independently. During the course, we focus on control, safety, awareness, and practical riding skills. These are the things that matter when you are out in traffic and need to make decisions quickly.
For many students, the first part of IBT can feel a little strange. The bike may feel heavy, the controls may feel awkward, and road positioning may not come naturally straight away. That is normal. With clear instruction and steady practice, most riders start to relax and understand how the bike responds.
What Is Included In Your IBT Course?
Your IBT course covers the key skills needed to ride safely and confidently. This includes using the controls correctly, moving off, stopping, turning, braking, observation, road positioning, and general safety awareness. You will also learn how to prepare yourself and the bike before riding.
There is a lot more to motorbike training than simply getting from one place to another. You need to know where to position yourself on the road, when to check mirrors, how to approach hazards, and how to stay calm when traffic becomes busy. These small details are what help riders become safer and more confident.
We also spend time correcting problems as they appear. Sometimes a rider does not realise they are developing a habit until it is pointed out. It might be poor shoulder checks, braking too late, looking too close to the front wheel, or taking the wrong position on the road. Once these issues are spotted, we work through them properly.
Nervous About Your First Motorbike Lesson?
It is very common to feel nervous before your first motorbike lesson. In fact, many good riders started off feeling the same way. Riding a motorbike is a new skill, and it takes time for your hands, feet, balance, and awareness to work together naturally.
You do not need to arrive knowing everything. That is what the lesson is for. We start with the basics, explain things clearly, and give you time to get comfortable. There is no pressure to rush through the training before you are ready.
Some students worry about making mistakes. Well, mistakes are part of learning. The important thing is that they are corrected early, before they become habits. With patient training, nervous riders often become much more confident once they understand what the bike is doing and what they should be looking for on the road.
School Bikes And PPE Available
You do not always need your own motorbike before starting your IBT training. School bikes are available for students completing IBT with O’Reilly School of Motoring Dublin. This is helpful for beginners who want to complete their training before deciding what bike to buy.
PPE is also available for both male and female riders. This makes it easier for students who may not yet have all the proper gear. Protective clothing is an important part of motorcycle training, and turning up with the right equipment helps you feel safer and more prepared from the start.
Having school bikes and PPE available removes some of the stress for new riders. You can focus on learning first, then make better decisions about your own bike and gear once you have more experience.

What Our Clients Are Saying
It was an outstanding experience. I was joined by many other students and that made the experience all the better as you learn to navigate around vehicles in the process of the training.
They make the lessons clear and simple to understand, enough that all students easily picked them up.
Cant recommend this school and its instructors enough!
The set up is great with different size bikes, all safety gear is provided if you don’t have your own, the sealed off car park was a great place to learn the controls going out onto the main roads.
I can’t recommend Martin enough to do your IBT and/or Pre Tests.
