What is IBT (Initial Basic Training)?

A motorcycle IBT (Initial Basic Training) in Ireland is

a mandatory, modular training course for learner riders, designed by the Road Safety Authority (RSA) to teach essential skills and improve safety, covering theory, off-road, and on-road riding, and is required before you can legally ride on public roads or get insurance/tax for a motorcycle. It's broken down into programs depending on the bike category, with instructors issuing a completion certificate after each module or the full course.

Pre-Test and Bike Rental

We strongly recommend you do a pre-test before your RSA motorcycle test. One 'bad habit' can cause you to fail your test without been a bad rider. For bike rental we insist you do a pre-test. I've seen to many good riders fail because of simple mistakes. Pre-test and bike rental are available in Tallaght and Dun Laoghaire.
