Module 1
Book now for just £445
Looking to get your full motorcycle licence? Module 1 is your first big milestone - and at Shires Motorcycle Training, we make sure you’re ready to smash it.
What is Module 1?
Module 1 is the first part of your practical test, focusing on machine control and low-speed manoeuvres in a safe, off-road environment. Think slalom, figure-of-eights, emergency stops, U-turns, and the all-important hazard avoidance - essential skills every competent rider should have nailed.
What's involved?
£445 for the full two-day intensive, including Module 1 test fee, bike hire, insurance, and fuel.
If you need extra time, additional training is available at £100 per half-day.
2 Day Intensive:
This is our standard and most popular route to Module 1 success.
Over two days, you’ll work closely with our experienced instructors, perfecting the precise skills you need to pass.
Training runs on our purpose-built ranges using the latest Kawasaki Z650s and group sizes are kept small to maximise personal feedback.
