The Direct Access Scheme (DAS) is for those people aged 21 and over who want to obtain a full UK motorcycle licence from the day they pass their test. Upon passing your DAS test, you will be entitled to ride any powered motorbike or scooter of your choice, carry pillion passenger's and use motorways.
As with all the other motorcycle tests, if you decide to pass your direct access test on a manual bike you will be able to ride any motorcycle or scooter/moped, whether it is manual or automatic. However, if you take your direct access course on an automatic bike, your licence will be limited to automatics motorbikes only.
Requirements
In order to book your DAS practical test, you must first of all sit and pass the motorcycle theory test, as once you have passed this you are issued with a theory certificate number which is needed to book your practical test. Learn more about the motorcycle theory test.
You will also be required to have a valid licence (provisional or full), and a valid CBT certificate. If you are interested in taking the DAS course but do not have a CBT, we can include your CBT training as part of your course at a discounted rate.
Course's
1 Stop Instruction's Direct Access courses are tailored to each individual. For the majority of people, it would be their first time on such a big motorbike, yet at the same time, we also recognise that some people may have been riding big motorbikes for years (e.g maybe in a foreign country, or off road).
For this reason, we assess each pupil's needs on an individual basis. We do not dictate that every person who wants to do Direct Access will need a 4 or 5 day DAS course as we know other training schools do. In fact, we do quite the opposite. We advise you on what our various DAS Courses involve, and then let you decide which course is best suited to your experience level. We ask you some critical key questions to get an understanding of your experience, which helps us give you an opinion on which course is best suited to you, however the final choice is up to you. Please bear in mind though, that if you claim to have more experience than you actually do, and opt to do a shorter course to save time and money, there is every chance you will not be in a position to pass your test first time, and may well end up spending more time and money on resits. For those pupils who are still unsure which course is best for them, we urge those pupils to come into our offices and speak to an instructor face-to-face, and even try sitting on, and riding the bikes to help both you and us make a correct and viable decision.
Our Direct Access Scheme (DAS) course's run from Ilford, in East London, within easy access of other local area's such as Romford, Dagenham, Loughton as well as all other parts of Essex. We use an extensive training site which helps many of our pupils through the Module 1 part of their test, and is a key factor to our unique high first time pass rate.
The Test
The test can only be sat by those people who are over the age of 21, and must be sat on a bike with a power output of at least 46.6 bhp (25 kw).
