How to get a Motorcycle Licence
The Steps to Follow to get a RE Motorcycle Licence
Step One >> Get your RE(L). If you don't have an RE(L) right now - then you'll first have to complete a Pre-Learner QRIDE course.
Step Two >> Learn how to ride (if you know how to ride jump to Step Three). If you don't know how to ride or only have a little experience then we can help you increase your skills and confidence and help you prepare to meet all the requirements of the QRIDE assessment course. Only $58 per hour for lessons and our aim is to get your up to standard swiftly (however, we dare not rush you and safety is our priority) i.e. you set the pace of progress. We offer one-on-one training because it is the best learning experience and it is also the best value for money for you.
Step Three >> Complete an RE QRIDE course and at the end of the course you'll have your licence.
