All riders who want to take a practical motorcycle test must hold a valid compulsory basic training (CBT) certificate. The type of licence held by the rider and the machine used for the training course is noted on the CBT certificate issued to the rider. The information on the proportion of learners who pass a full category (a) AM and (b) A motorcycle test after completing compulsory basic training on a moped is not recorded or held by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).

The attached Excel document shows the number of module two motorcycle tests that have been conducted in categories A, A1, A2 and Moped AM for the last five financial years. DVSA can currently only publish the data included in the attached Excel document up to the end of September 2024.
