Book a motorcycle rider training course

Introduction

To obtain either a learner or provisional motorcycle rider licence, you need to attend and pass the training course relevant to your licence.

Pre-learner and pre-provisional rider training is available at approved rider training centres for applicants living in a declared area.

There is now a trike-only training and testing pathway for customers to get a licence to ride a trike. For further information, visit Riding a trike on NSW Roads.

Note: Visit a service centre if a rider training centre is unavailable in your local area.

• Make sure you've booked your pre-provisional training at least 4 to 6 weeks before your learner licence expires. This will give you enough time to reschedule another test if you fail, or have to delay, the first one.
• If you do not pass the provisional training before your licence expires, you'll have to start the entire program again – this includes paying the fees again.
• You cannot get an extension or renewal of a learner rider licence.
