Getting your motorcycle license in English: how does it work?
Let's get started
To start taking motorcycle lessons in English at De Motortrainer, you need a valid car driving license or a Dutch theory certificate for motorcycle. At De Motortrainer, you need to be 21 years or older. You can check if your foreign car license is valid in The Netherlands at RDW.
If you have a valid car license, you can start right away and get your motorcycle theory later in the process. Otherwise you need to get your theory before you can start taking motorcycle lessons.
Getting your theory certificate
At CBR, you have to take the theory exam. You can do this in English. For that, you need to book an exam with an interpreter (ATH-I-T). First, you plan the exam at CBR. Next, you book the interpreter. If you have a car license, you still need to take the theory exam.
These are helpful learning materials in English.
Practical exams
First, we'll focus on vehicle control skills to work towards the first practical exam (AVB). Once you get your AVB, we'll focus on driving skills on the road to work towards the traffic participation exam (AVD).
For AVB and AVD, you don't need an exam with a translator, like you do for your theory exam. At the AVB exam, usually the examiner gives the instructions in English. If not, they'll let your motorcycle instructor do it. During the AVD exam, you'll be wearing an earpiece while being followed by the examiner and your motorcycle instructor in a car. You will get the instructions via radio contact in English.
Once you've passed the three exams, you'll get your license.
