Motorcycle lessons and IBT training in Navan

As the biggest town in Meath, Navan has plenty of quiet estate roads to find your feet on and the wider N3 routes for when you're ready to build real-world confidence.

Learning to ride from Navan

Most Navan riders we train are starting from scratch, and that's exactly how we like it. We begin somewhere calm and work up to busier roads once you're comfortable. There's no rush and no set script, just steady progress at a pace that suits you.

We also cover the villages around Navan, from Kilmessan and Bective across to Wilkinstown and Donaghmore.

  • Bike and gear provided

    No machine of your own? You'll ride ours, with the gear sorted, so there's nothing to buy before you start.

  • Small groups

    On the road it's usually one or two riders per instructor: calm, RSA approved and at a pace that suits you.

  • Built around your test

    Everything ties back to what the examiner wants, so you're ready when test day comes.

Pre-test at the Navan test centre

Got your test in Navan? Your pre-test can be there too. The RSA test centre is at the Government Offices in Athlumney, Kilcairn (C15 FEF2). We do pre-tests around it often, and you'll practise the U-turn, the slow ride and the emergency braking on the roads nearby before the day comes.

You can check the address and the licence categories it covers on the RSA's list of test centres.
