Find an Initial Training (IBT) Centre in Rathfarnham
What is Initial Basic Training?
If you're working towards a motorcycle licence in Ireland, Initial Basic Training (IBT) is where you start.
It's a legal requirement before you can ride on a provisional licence, and it has to be completed with an instructor and a training centre approved by the Road Safety Authority (RSA).
Not every centre offering motorcycle training holds RSA approval, so it's worth checking before you book.

Not near an approved centre? We'll sort the logistics
We're based in Rathfarnham, covering South Dublin, and we know not everyone lives near one of the official RSA-approved centres on the list above. That's fine. In practice, we can collect you and bring you to whichever centre makes sense for your test, wherever that ends up being. Get in touch, talk us through your situation, and we'll find the option that works.
A lot of people booking IBT don't drive yet, so we build that into how we operate and help with getting there if you need it.
