Motorcycle licensing
Below is some practical information around getting your motorcycle licence from the team at AA Driving School.
To ride a motorcycle, you need a motorcycle licence. There are three types of motorcycle licences - learner, restricted and full licence.
The process to get a motorcycle licence is different from getting a licence to drive a car. Please see below for more information about the process.
Motorcycle learner licence
You must be at least 16 years old to apply for your motorcycle learner licence. There are two main steps:
- Complete basic handling skills test (BHST) with a motorcycle instructor. Recommended training and assessment providers.
- Sit learner licence test. Once you have completed a basic handling skills test, you will need to take your learner licence theory test.
Practice for the learner licence theory test. You can book, pay for and sit the test at any AA Licensing Agent around New Zealand.
Motorcycle restricted licence (class 6)
There are two options:
First option: Practical test option
- You must have held the class 6 learner licence for minimum of six months and be at least 16 ½ of age before applying.
- Sit and pass the 6 restricted practical test
Second option: Competency based training and assessment (CBTA) option
- Be assessed by an approved CBTA provider at any time.
- Produce 6R CBTA certificate at the driver licensing agent to apply for class 6 full licence.
- You must have held the learner licence for minimum of six months and be at least 16 ½ of age before applying.
For a motorcycle restricted licence you will need to successfully complete the competency-based training and assessment (CBTA) to apply for your licence.
If you have your motorcycle learner licence, there is no minimum time before you can apply for your motorcycle restricted licence. You need to be at least 16.5 years of age before applying though.
To book a CBTA or motorcycle riding lessons, we recommend contacting an approved motorcycle instructor.
