Conducted at our Manston Training Centre this is a nine-day course for those aged 17 or over who have no riding experience at all. The aim of the Super Novice Course is to prepare you for a Standard A Category Course. If you take this route and pass your test on a 125cc bike you may then only ride a bike up to a 33-brake horse power (B.H.P.) limit. This restriction will be automatically lifted from your licence two years from the date you pass your test.
Theory Training All Provisional Licence holders wishing to take their motorcycle test, must pass the Motorcycle Theory Test prior to taking their Practical Motorcycle Test. Students are tested on Highway Code questions and Hazard Perception. To ensure you pass your Theory Test, Kent Motorcycles run Theory Training classes at our Canterbury training centre each Monday evening between 6.30 and 9.00pm. We recommend that you attend at least three training sessions, but you are free to attend as many as you feel necessary before starting your Super Novice Course.
| First Day | Introduction to a 125cc motorcycle off road (approximately 2 hours). This normally takes place at around 3.00p.m. |
| Second Day | C.B.T. A full day training, both "off and on" road, on a 125cc motorcycle. On successful completion of the C.B.T. you will take the bike home with you to put in some further practice. |
| Final Day | Return bike and confirm dates for further training. |
| Saturday | All day training on a 125cc motorcycle |
| Sunday | Training for test (approximately 3 hours) |
| Monday | Training for test (approximately 3 hours) |
| Tuesday | Training for test (approximately 3 hours) |
| Wednesday | Training for test and mock test (approx. 3 hours) |
| Thursday | 1 Hour pre-test training followed by test |
During all road rides your instructor will be in radio contact with you.
The cost of this course is £705. This includes Theory Training, the use of motorcycle, helmet, jacket, gloves, bike-to-bike intercom and test fee.
