To obtain a Provisional Motorcycle Licence you must have held a Learner motorcycle licence for a minimum of three months and not be currently disqualified or suspended from riding.  If you have held a Learner motorcycle licence previously this period may count towards the three months.  Ring Stay Upright for details.

Provisional Training Course
This is an optional 7 hour course designed to assist you to further develop your skills and better prepare you for the provisional licence assessment which may be attempted during the course.  We suggest gaining at least three months riding practice on your learner licence before booking the provisional training course.

Provisional Assessment

Though the provisional course is optional, you must pass the provisional riding assessment to get your Ps.

Formal assessments are held at our training centre twice a week.  We recommend that you book as soon as possible after three-months on your Ls and certainly well before your Ls expire.  Should your Ls expire before you get your Ps you will have to renew your Ls by repeating the pre-learner course at full fee.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  The ACT Government does not warn of impending expiry of learner licences.

Assessments are booked through Stay Upright.

To learn more about the ACT Provisional Licence Assessment, also called the M.O.S.T (Motorcycle Operators Skill Test), check out the NSW RTA’s website to see what NSW learner riders must demonstrate to pass the NSW assessment.  Just be aware that the NSW M.O.S.T is subtly different to the ACT M.O.S.T both in penalty scoring and layout. The layout differences are as follows:

Provisional Assessment Open Mornings
Come along, meet other learners and have a trial run at the provisional assessment just for fun.

Open mornings are held at our training centre on the last Saturday of every month between 9am and 12 noon.  No bookings are required.  Just bring $15, your own gear and a learner legal motorcycle.  It’s a great ‘no pressure’ way to experience the Assessment first hand and to gauge how your skill development is progressing.  Open Mornings are quite informal with no records being retained.  You cannot obtain yours Ps by attending an Open Morning.

What if I fail the formal Provisional Licence Assessment?
If you fail the Assessment and you have not already completed the provisional training course described above, you must complete that course before re-attempting the assessment.  The ACT Government will fully subsidise the course fee but a re-assessment fee is payable.

How do I book a provisional training course or assessment?
Bookings are made by telephoning the Stay Upright Booking Office.  Have your licence handy when you phone.  Payment in full by credit card or by mailing a cheque or Australia Post money order is required at least seven (7) days prior to your course or Assessment.  You will be sent a confirmation letter on receipt of payment.

What do I need to bring to Courses and Assessments?
For provisional courses or assessments your ACT motorcycle Learner Licence must be current and must be carried with you.
An AS1698-approved motorcycle helmet and motorcycle gloves are essential.  Wear sturdy clothing that covers your arms and legs and sturdy footwear.  We recommend you wear boots giving good ankle protection.  A motorcycle jacket will be required during the course road ride.

On provisional courses and assessments you may use your own motorcycle.  It will be inspected and must pass a registration and roadworthy check at the start of the course or assessment.
