Motorcycle rider training and licence courses in Canberra, Australia

There are 2 motorcycle training schools listed near Canberra, Australia: Riders Lane Canberra, Stay Upright (Queanbeyan training centre).

What to ask a motorcycle training school

  • Do you provide the motorcycle and helmet, or do I bring my own? Many pre-learner courses supply a small bike; most expect your own gloves, boots over the ankle, and a long-sleeved jacket.
  • Which course do I need for my learner or provisional licence, and does it count toward the next stage? Each state runs its own licensing scheme, so ask the school rather than a forum.
  • How big are the classes, and how many trainers are on the range? Fewer riders per trainer means more time riding and less time waiting.
  • What happens if it rains, or if I do not pass the riding assessment? Ask about rescheduling and reassessment fees before you pay.
  • Do you run courses beyond the licence, such as advanced or refresher training? A refresher after a long break is worth the day.
