Once you’ve passed you will receive a pre-learner Certificate of Competence – this certificate enables you to take the rider knowledge test at a registry or service centre to get your Ls.

Your certificate is only valid for three months so don’t let it lapse or its back to do the L’s all over again.You must take the following with you:

• Pre-learner Certificate of Competence
• Proof of identity documents
• A completed learner licence application form (you can do this at the motor registry

The rider knowledge test is based on the Road Users Handbook and the Motorcycle Rider’s Handbook. Study each of these thoroughly to ensure you pass!

You must hold a learner rider licence for a minimum of three months before you can progress into the next stages of the Motorcycle Graduated Licensing System (GLS). Once you have, the next step you need to take is to attend a pre-provisional training course. You can book this course at anytime after getting your Ls.

The pre-provisional training is a one-day course that goes for six hours. After successfully completing the course you will progress to the Motorcycle Operator Skills Test (MOST), which is a further one-hour skills test. When you pass both you will receive a Certificate of Competence. Take your Certificate of Competence to the registry or service centre to have your licence upgraded to P1.

You can upgrade to a P2 rider licence after a minimum of 12 months on a P1 rider licence.

After holding a P2 rider licence for a minimum of 24 months you can upgrade to a full rider licence.

Riders over the age of 25 years may receive an exemption from the P2 phase if they:

• Hold a current Australian unrestricted driver licence
• Have completed a minimum of 12 months on a P1 licence
• Meet all other licensing requirements

All novice riders are restricted to a LAM while they hold a learner, P1 or P2 licence. Find out the restrictions.

The P1 licence is valid for 18 months but may be upgraded to a P2 rider licence after a minimum of 12 months (not including any licence suspensions or cancellations).

The P2 licence is valid for 30 months but may be upgraded to a full rider licence after a minimum of 24 months (not including any licence suspensions or cancellations).
