About the Pre-Provisional course - One Day Course

You need to successfully complete the pre-provisional training course to progress from a learner rider licence to a P1 rider licence, if you live in an area where training is available (declared area).

The pre-provisional training course runs for 8 hours, which includes a lunch break and a Skill test, and you need to provide your own motorcycle and riding gear.

We do hire motorcycles for the Pre-Provisional Course and/or the Skills Test but we DO NOT hire or lend any riding gear – helmets, gloves or wet weather gear. You are expected to bring your own for the Pre-Provisional course.

Your helmet must be an approved helmet and in good condition, and your gloves must be in good condition.

If you don't have your own Learner Approved Motorcycle, see details below about hiring one of ours on the day.

Note: Motor scooters or automatic motorcycles are available for hire for the Pre-Provisional Course and/or Skills Test, but we only have one scooter available for hire. You will need to contact us via email prior to your course to book the scooter and we will advise whether it is available for that day. flrt@dodo.com.au

At the end of the course, you’ll undertake a practical riding test (the Motorcycle Operator Skill Test MOST) to assess your riding ability. If you pass, you’ll be issued a Certificate of Competence, valid for 3 months.

For more information about the Practical riding test go to the RMS webpage -

http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/licence/rider/tests/practical-riding-test/index.html

Once you have your Certificate of Competence, you then go to Service NSW to apply for your P1 rider licence.

You’ll need to pay the course fee at the time of booking, so you'll need a credit card to book.
