Our instructors will advise you accordingly. In simple terms if you need the training we will tell you. If you don&#8217;t need the training then we won&#8217;t over-train you. Our experienced team of instructors will know whether and when you are test ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our costs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Module 1 training &#8211; \u00a330 per hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Module 2 training &nbsp;&#8211; \u00a335 per hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our instructors will explain how we go about our training process and you can always contact us for more information. We can provide you with a pricing menu based on the average trainee to complete CBT, Module 1 and Module 2 tests which totals approximately \u00a3800. &nbsp;Costs vary as each individual is different and each has differing skill levels and abilities. After completing your CBT we understand that passing your test is an expensive business so with us you pay as you train.

We strongly advise against &#8216;intensive courses&#8217; but understand that in some cases this is the only way for some to achieve the objective of passing their motorcycle test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmtcbridgend.com\/Contact-us.php\"><u>Contact us<\/u><\/a>&nbsp;for more details and costs.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"567\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/bmtc.zilvinas.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-16.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-165 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bmtc.zilvinas.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-16.png 567w, https:\/\/bmtc.zilvinas.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-16-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Check this link out to view the Module 1 test video prepared by the DVSA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Motorcycle test 2025 - module 1: official DVSA guide\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G3bVhFzTMHo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
