QRIDE :

Training  Assessment

What is QRide?

 

Q-Ride is a competency-based training and assessment program that aims to ensure participants reach a demonstrated level of skill and proficiency as a motorbike rider.

 

The program focuses on improving the quality of pre-licence rider training, with the aim of boosting education and awareness, and enhancing road safety.

 

The advantages of Q-Ride

 

You do not need to hold your class RE motorbike learner licence for six months during the two years before applying for a class RE motorbike provisional, probationary or open licence.

 

Getting Started.

 

  1. Have the correct licence

 

    To participate in basic motorcycle training or  Q-Ride training and assessment, as a minimum you must hold a current class RE motorbike learner licence.

 

If you wish to obtain a class R motorbike licence, you must have held a class RE provisional or open licence for at least one year.

 

  2. Enrol

 

     Contact Brett Hoskin at Queensland Motorcycle School in Mackay to enrol.

 

You will be asked  to provide some information about your licence history to determine which class of motorbike you are eligible to learn to ride. For example, if you want to learn to ride a class R motorbike, you may need to know the date on which your class RE provisional or open licence was first issued.

 

 3. Learn to ride

 

    Q-Ride training and assessment consists of a number of competency standards that your trainer will take you through.

 

    When learning to ride a motorbike you must display a L-plate and carry your class RE learner, provisional or open licence. Your licence must be shown to a police officer or any other authorised person if you are asked to do so.If you have never ridden a motorcycle before or have limited experience you may need a Private 1 on 1 training session  as part of pre assessment training. Please discuss this with your trainer.

 

 4. Certificate

 

     When you have demonstrated you are competent in all the Q-Ride competencies, the Q-Ride registered service provider will issue you with a competency declaration (Q-Ride Certificate).

 

 5. Getting your licence

 

     Before you can ride unaccompanied on your motorbike  you must take your current licence and Q-Ride Certificate to a Department of Transport and Main Roads customer service centre to apply for your motorbike licence. Although you will not be required to do a practical driving test, you must be eligible for the licence you are applying for.
