A1, A2, AND DAS

---

At Compass we have our own area to train and practice all the manoeuvres for the Module 1 test.

Our instructors tailor the training to suit your pace and experience level.

The following describes a 5 day Direct Access Scheme (DAS) course.

• Training follows the same structured approach as C.B.T
  - Explanations
  - Demonstrations
  - Practice time

• Day 1: CBT - 6 hour day on a 125cc machine
• Day 2: Module 2 focused road practice
• Day 3: Module 1 manoeuvre practice
• Day 4: Module 1 test
• Day 5: Module 2 test

All courses are tailored to individual needs; this structure is a guide only

As you progress, your instructor will prepare you for both on-road and off-road test requirements, including:

• Observations
• Moving off and pulling over
• Junctions and roundabouts
• Bends and cornering techniques
• Traffic lights and pedestrian crossings
• Obstructions
• Hill starts
• One-way streets
• Dual carriageways
• Defensive riding techniques
• Full Module 1 manoeuvres, including hazard avoidance

For Direct Access Scheme (DAS) candidates, some off-road training is normally completed before starting on-road sessions.

• A solid understanding of road rules is essential for test success.
• While instructors can teach Highway Code content, this may reduce riding time and increase training costs.
• Allow sufficient time for practice - progress varies between individuals.

• You must pass the motorcycle theory and hazard perception test before booking Module 1 and Module 2 practical tests.
• For progressive access:
  - CBT and theory do not need to be retaken if progressing after 2 years

• Conducted in an off-road manoeuvring area.
• Duration: approximately 20 minutes.
• Includes:
  - Wheeling the moped or motorcycle and using the stand
  - Slalom and figure of eight
  - Slow ride
  - U-turn
  - Cornering with controlled stop
  - Cornering and emergency stop
  - Cornering and hazard avoidance

For the hazard avoidance and emergency stop manoeuvres, you must ride at a minimum speed of:

• 19 mph on a moped
• 31 mph on a motorcycle

The following is the marking system for examiners:

• Dangerous faults; actual danger caused
• Serious faults; potentially dangerous actions
• Riding faults; minor errors

You must achieve the following to Pass Module 1:

• No serious or dangerous faults
• No more than 5 riding faults

• The examiner will explain any faults
• You will receive a pass certificate (required for Module 2)

• You must rebook and pay for another Module 1 test
• Tests must be booked at least 3 working days in advance
• Module 2 test dates may need to be changed if already booked
