Have you been thinking a long time about getting your motorcycle license? Do you lack information and believe that taking a motorcycle driving course requires too much time?
Knowing the steps needed to obtain your motorcycle driver’s licence makes it easier than you think. See how to get your license in 6 steps.
1. Preparing for the knowledge test
Although no course is required to attend the exam, preparation is crucial to your success. Despite years of experience driving a car, riding a motorcycle is very specific and requires mastering new concepts. You don’t have enough time to prepare? No problem, our school puts at your disposal all the required tools to help ease the task: preparation course for the SAAQ knowledge test and online training, both exclusive to Tecnic, and our online practice exam.
Determine your schedule and do it at your own pace.

Upon successfully completing the knowledge test, you can now ride a motorcycle! But beware, this license allows you to only ride during a practical training course supervised by a recognized school.
3. Following the mandatory course modules

You now have your 6R learner’s licence! You need to prove yourself and learn the driving techniques before setting out on the road. In Québec, some courses are mandatory before signing up for the final exam.
