DAS stands for Direct Access Scheme, this is the course to take if you want to ride an unrestricted motorcycle. You will need to be 21 years or older.

This course is a lot of fun and in our opinion is the ideal way to get into motorcycling. You will start off on a 125 cc motorcycle and progress onto the larger bikes as soon as is sensible.

Starting on a 125cc means you won’t feel intimidated by the weight and power of a 500cc motorcycle and we can teach you all the basics easily. Once on a larger bike you will soon get used to the extra weight and power of a “proper” motorcycle and we can build up your skills and confidence levels. So you can easily pass the Module One and Two tests.

Step One take CBT

Step Two take the Theory and Hazard Perception test

Step Three follow through and take the Intermediate, Level 1 and Level 2  courses to pass your

motorcycle test.

How long is a DAS ( Direct Access Scheme ) course  ?

A typical Direct Access Course will last four days, if you have a full car licence.

Day One

Day Two take an Intermediate Course

Day Three take a Level 1 Course

Day Four take a Level 2 Course

Add on a day if you do not have a full car licence.

Add on a day if you are not physically confident.

Consider taking off a day if you already have a lot of experience.

If in doubt take a longer course, you will have a much better chance of passing the test first time, and you will save the cost of retaking the test.

If you are still not sure, take just the CBT and see how you get on, it will not cost you any more to split the course.

We will not try to sell you extra days you do not need, but some times there is no substitute for time spent riding and getting some miles in.

Once you  have passed the  test you will then have an unrestricted licence and will be able to ride any machine that suits your needs. It would be wise to start on something around the 500cc to 600 cc level before moving onto larger bikes, car drivers in particular under estimate the performance of modern bikes.
