3 easy steps?
Getting a scooter or motorcycle licence in NSW is easy!
Not sure? If you are debating whether to complete the Pre-Learner course, stop in at Let’s
Scooter. We can address all your questions and give you a demonstration.
Step 1:
Obtain your Learners Riders Licence
Step 1a: Complete the practical Pre-Learner course. Book online on the myRTA website or call 13 22 13.
The course is held on 2 consecutive days or nights, running for 3.5 hours each session. The cost includes the
motorcycle or scooter, helmet, gloves and the tuition. You will need to be dressed appropriately, covering all skin
and wearing enclosed shoes. The course is a pass/fail criteria.
If you complete this course on an automatic (scooter), you will still be able to ride a motorcycle but only once you
are on your full licence.
Let’s Scooter can get you confident enough to ride on the road all on your own
Step 1b: Complete the Rider Knowledge Test (RKT) at an RTA office. Pass this test by being knowledgeable of the
road users handbook and the motorcycle users handbook.
Upon passing the RKT, you will complete an eye test and have your photo taken, then a learner rider licence will be
issued. You now have your Learners Riders Licence!
Let’s Scooter can prepare you for your P-test for as little as $60 per hour
Step 2:
Obtain your Pre-Provisional P1 Licence. Book online on the myRTA website or call 13 22 13.
Step 2a: Complete the one day RTA course and at the end of the course complete the Motorcycle Operators Skills
Test (M.O.S.T). If you pass the test, you will receive a certificate that you need to take with you to the RTA to update
your licence. If you fail the test, you need to rebook and pay for another M.O.S.T. This can be no earlier than 7 days
later.
Didn’t pass first go? Let’s Scooter can help. The majority of our students pass first go!
Go to an RTA branch, have your photo taken and pay the fee to have a provisional licence issued.
You now have your Provisional P1 Riders Licence.
Step 2b: Progress to your P2 licence. Go to the RTA after 12 months* but prior to the expiry date of your provisional
P1 riders licence (18months). Have your photo taken and pay the fee and progress to P2 licence class*.
You now have your Provisional P2 Riders Licence.
Let’s Scooter can help you learn to ride a manual bike.
Step 3:
Obtain your full riders licence.
Go to the RTA prior to the expiry date of your provisional P1 or P2 riders licence. Have your photo taken and pay the
fee and progress to a full licence.
Take your skills to the next level and join us on one of our full day adventure rides.
