Services
Our Rider Training department can offer you the training you need, whether you are starting at the very beginning with a taster session, or coming back to biking after a wee break and need some guidance. At Saltire, we tailor motorcycle training to suit individual needs, and look to develop and expand each student's skills to make them safer riders.
Ever fancied the thought of riding a scooter or motorcycle, but not sure if it's for you?. Then come along to a Taster session and take advantage of our indoor training yard, where you will have fun and learn the basics on one of our Yamaha 125cc motorcycles or 50cc automatic scooter, regardless of the weather outside.
The only documentation you must have to complete a CBT is a provisional or full car licence. Along with your photocard licence, you will need to provide a valid licence check code or provide us with your National Insurance number, so that we can check your licence online. If you have the old paper style licence, you will need to bring this as well as a passport as photo ID.
If you want to get your full licence, you will need to take a Motorcycle Theory Test which is sat at a DSA Theory Test Centre. Unfortunately, your car Theory Test is not valid for the motorcycle tests, so a Motorcycle Theory and Hazard Perception Test must be completed before further training can commence.
If you want to get a full motorcycle licence, you first need to complete a CBT and Motorcycle Theory. If you do not pass both parts of your practical test within 2 years of completing the CBT and Theory test, then you'll have to start the process again. The practical motorcycle test is split into 2 separate modules.

I did my CBT and went through to complete my DAS with Saltire and sailed through first time thanks to Colin's top guidance. Jethro got me a beast of a KTM 890 to play on, Nicky sorted me out with a class helmet, gloves etc and Jolene tweaked the padding in the lid to get an incredible customised fit. It's just a shame about Uncle Jock's patter ;)

Brilliant place to get your direct access for motorbike.
Passed mod 1 with John, it was a pleasure and really thorough training, not a thing missed.
Just passed my mod 2 with Colin with a Clean sheet (no minors). That's just a reflection of the guys efforts and devotion to the riders training. Thanks again folks! 👌✌️ Another happy biker on the road.

Completed my CBT with Grant on the 125cc pictured and was very impressed with the experience. The place is massive with showrooms full of 2 wheeled pleasure as well as clothing and kit. Had the mac n cheese with chips from the cafe they've got on site which was tidy! Never felt nervous or rushed, course was done at pace and was very thorough. Will be getting some road experience on 2 wheels and will be back for my direct access.

Passed my CBT and full bike test with these guys. Highly recommend as their quality of training is is high. You go to your bike test confident you can ride well.
James is a superhuman instructor for putting up with my madness and I'm so grateful he helped me pass my test, first time!
Jethro also made sure that all the admin side of things ran smoothly.
