Riding a motorcycle for work is a specific skill — and it starts with proper, professional training. On Your Bike in Thelwall, Warrington provides vocational motorcycle training for delivery riders, couriers, key workers, and anyone who needs to ride as part of their job. DVSA-approved, fully qualified, and built around your professional requirements.
What Is Vocational Motorcycle Training?
Vocational motorcycle training refers to motorcycle instruction taken for professional or employment purposes — rather than purely recreational riding. Whether you’re starting a delivery job, working as a courier, or your employer requires you to hold a motorcycle licence, the training requirements are the same as any other rider: CBT first, then the full licence route if required.
Who Is Vocational Motorcycle Training For?
- Delivery riders — food delivery, parcel and last-mile logistics on 125cc or larger motorcycles
- Couriers — time-critical professional riding across Warrington, Cheshire and the North West
- Key workers — NHS, community support and other workers who ride to multiple sites
- Security and patrol — motorcycle-based patrol and response roles
- Anyone required to hold a motorcycle licence by an employer
Vocational Training Courses at On Your Bike
CBT — The Essential First Step
CBT is the legal minimum required to ride a 125cc moped or motorcycle on public roads. It’s completed in one day, and upon successful completion you receive a DL196 certificate valid for two years. From £225 at On Your Bike, all kit provided. Find out more →
Direct Access Scheme (DAS) — Full Licence
If your role requires riding a larger motorcycle — or you want unrestricted riding rights — DAS takes riders aged 24 and over from CBT to a full Category A licence in typically 5–7 days. No L-plate restrictions, no power limits, no two-year expiry. Find out more →

Frequently Asked Questions
What licence do I need for delivery riding?
For a 125cc you need a valid CBT. For anything over 125cc you need a full motorcycle licence. We offer both — CBT from £225, DAS for a full licence.
Can I start delivery riding the same day as my CBT?
Yes. CBT is one day. When you complete it successfully you receive your DL196 certificate — legal proof you can ride a 125cc on public roads from that same day.
How quickly can I get a full professional motorcycle licence?
Via DAS (for riders aged 24+), typically 5–7 days of training plus DVSA Module 1 and Module 2 tests. Contact us to plan a schedule around your employment start date.
