The time it takes to get your motorcycle licence depends on several factors, including how much time you have for driving lessons and theory classes. As a rule of thumb, though, you can expect it to take a few months. If you prepare intensively and attend courses regularly, you can complete the licence faster. At our driving school, we place great importance on you learning to ride well and safely, and we adapt the lessons to your individual learning pace. This way, we make sure you're optimally prepared for the exam and for driving on real roads afterwards.

For the unrestricted class A motorcycle licence, also known as the "open A licence", you must be at least 24 years old. However, if you've already held an A2 licence for at least two years, you can get the open A licence as early as age 20 by passing a practical exam. These rules ensure that riders gain sufficient experience before being allowed to ride more powerful motorcycles.

The exam for the class A licence consists of several parts you must successfully complete to get your motorcycle licence. First comes the theory exam, which tests your knowledge of traffic rules, road safety and motorcycle-specific questions. The questions are usually multiple-choice, and you need to answer a certain number correctly to pass.

After the theory comes the practical exam, which has several parts. It starts with exercises in a closed-off area, where basic riding skills like slalom riding, braking and evasive manoeuvres are tested. Here you need to show that you can safely control your motorcycle.

Next comes riding in real traffic, where an examiner accompanies you and assesses your riding behaviour, your traffic awareness and your ability to correctly apply the traffic rules. You need to demonstrate that you can take part in traffic safely and confidently.

Throughout the exam, your responsible and anticipatory riding is also assessed. It's important to stay calm and focused in order to pass the exam successfully.

After successfully passing both the theory and practical exams, you'll receive your class A licence and be allowed to ride motorcycles of any power class.

For the class A licence, you need to complete various types of driving lessons, starting with basic training, where you learn the fundamental manoeuvres and skills for handling a motorcycle. This is followed by practice lessons in real traffic, to apply what you've learned and gain experience in different traffic situations. In addition, special training drives such as rural-road, motorway and night drives are legally required to prepare you for special driving situations. Finally, during exam preparation you focus on perfecting all the necessary manoeuvres and refining your riding style, so you're optimally prepared for the practical exam.

The open class A licence, which can be obtained from age 24 or after two years of holding an A2 licence, has no power restrictions. This means you're allowed to ride motorcycles of any power class.
