Student Checklist

To make sure your training runs smoothly and safely, please check the following before attending your course:

​

1. Licence & Documents

☑ Bring your valid UK driving Full/Provisional licence (photocard).
☑ For DAS tests: also bring your original Theory Test Certificate and CBT Certificate.
☑ No other ID will be accepted.

​

2. English Language Requirement

☑ You must be able to speak and understand basic English.
👉 This is a DVSA safety requirement – if you cannot follow instructions in English, training cannot continue and your course fees will be lost.

​

3. Clothing & Equipment

☑ Helmet – bring your own balaclava if borrowing a Quickstart helmet.
☑ Gloves – genuine motorcycle gloves only (no work, cycle, or fashion gloves).
☑ Jacket & trousers – strong, protective clothing (jeans minimum).
☑ Footwear – sturdy boots that cover and protect your ankles (no trainers, Chelsea boots, or steel toe caps).

​

4. Fitness to Ride

☑ Arrive well-rested and alert (not after night shift).
☑ Do not drink alcohol or use drugs before training.
☑ Check medication labels – if it says “do not operate machinery,” you cannot train.

​

5. On the Day

☑ Arrive at least 10 minutes early.
☑ Be ready to complete an eyesight check (you must read a number plate at 20.5m with corrective lenses if required).

☑ Be ready to complete a Highway Code test (Road Signs, Junctions, Roundabouts and Crossings) https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code
☑ Listen carefully to your instructor and follow all safety instructions.

 

⚠️ Important:
Failure to meet any of the above requirements (documents, English, clothing, eyesite/Highway Code test or fitness to ride) will mean you cannot train, and course fees will be lost.
