About the Licence assessment

The Licence assessment is the last step in getting a motorcycle licence. You may be eligible to attempt the Licence assessment after:

·         Holding a valid motorcycle Learner Permit for 3 consecutive months,

·         Successfully completing a Check Ride (must be completed at least 1 month before attempting the Licence assessment)

The Licence assessment has strict pass/fail criteria set by VicRoads. You will complete two practical riding assessments, on the training range and the road.

Once you have passed all assessments and met all eligibility criteria, HART, on behalf of VicRoads, will issue you a restricted motorcycle licence.

HART provides all motorcycles, helmets, gloves and jackets for the duration of the course if required.

If you are converting an Overseas Licence, please contact the office on 9270 1377 to confirm the process you need to complete.

On the day

The Licence assessment is confirming that you are a safe and competent road rider. Before you attempt the Licence assessment, practice what you learned in the Check Ride and work on any areas raised. It can help to read over the Victorian Rider Handbook and check that you are applying the roadcraft that is shown.

Plan to arrive at HART at least 20 minutes before the scheduled start time. If you arrive after the course has started, you will not be allowed to join the course. Due to the nature of the training, HART is unable to catch you up or let you join a course that has already started. If possible, HART will endeavour to book you in to another course as soon as practicable. It is important that you arrive at least 20 minutes before your course start time to avoid disappointment.
