To get your motorcycle licence in the ACT, you’ll need to go through six key steps with Stay Upright:
- Double-check your eligibility
To learn to ride a bike in the ACT, you’ll need to be at least 16 years and nine months old, be a resident of ACT (or in the process of becoming one) and have a learner, provisional or full licence. If you don’t have a driver’s licence, you can complete the Pre-Learner (Theory) Licence course to be eligible for an ACT motorcycle licence. - Complete the Pre-Learner Licensing Course
Apply for and complete the one-day learner’s course that we offer . You’ll receive your course certificate upon completion. - Go to an Access Canberra Service Centre for licence endorsement
After your Pre-Learner Licensing Course, take your certificate to an Access Canberra Service Centre to get it endorsed. You must do this within one month of completing your Pre-Learner Licensing Course to avoid your certificate from expiring.
You’ll need to complete a visual acuity eye test before your certificate can be officially endorsed. You will then have a learner rider class added to your licence. After a minimum of three months, and a maximum of 12 months, you can go for a Pre-Provisional Motorcycle Licensing course and MOST test. - Practice your skills
It’s a good idea to practice the skills you’ve learned and get used to riding so you can apply for a Pre-Provisional Motorcycle Licensing course and MOST test confidently. Use your time wisely, and make sure you take the test within 12 months of completing your Pre-Learner Licensing Course. - Take the Pre-Provisional Motorcycle Licensing course and MOST Test
