JackEdge Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) So, I am currently 18 looking to get my A2 when I turn 19 in October 2024. At the moment, I have an A1 License which I have had since September 2023. Now the confusion is, since I don't want to wait 2 years to get my A2 after passing the A1, what do I need to do it when I turn 19? Some places say I need a valid CBT (even with an A1) as well as a theory (I passed this in September 2023 also, I am unsure if it stays valid for 2 years regardless of passing a license on it in that time (the A1)). The general confusion is overwhelming as I am not sure what I do and don't need to get it done. It doesn't make sense to me that I need a CBT, or indeed a theory, with what is technically a full license. So, my overall questions are: 1. Does a theory test stay valid for 2 years regardless of passing a test in that time? I.e, can I pass an A1 and an A2 on the same certificate? 2. If I have a category A1 License for less than 2 years, do I need to have a valid CBT still in order to do the A2? 3. Are there any other hidden catches with doing an A2 a year after passing the A1? Key Dates: CBT Pass: September 2022. A2 License Date (Aim): October 2024. A1 Pass Date: September 2023. Theory Pass Date (for A1): September 2023 Many thanks for responses in advance, this is too confusing due to the mixed responses. (Going to do the A2 through a training school as I have never had the opportunity to ride a big bike on the road).

bonio Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 So I make that: you need a valid theory test - which you already have as you took yours in Sept 23 and it is valid until Sept 25 (see here) - and then you do mod 1 and mod2 on the right bike and job done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so yes, just not sure if that theory stays valid after already passing a test on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use it on as many practical tests as you want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
