    Mar7inez13 I assume you mean you have an RE learners licence and want to get an RE provisional licence without doing Q-ride 2 day course.

    There are two alternative options to 2 day courses:

    1. Do a 1 day experienced rider course with a Q-ride company. Designed for people who have had a lot of experience riding dirt bikes etc.
    https://hart.securewebsite.com.au/c...nce/1-day-q-ride-training-and-assessment.html

    2. If you live more than 100km's away from a Q-ride center you can do a Q-safe test at a transport and motoring service centre.

    There is no longer an option of NOT doing a Q-ride test aka because you have experience. This is a safety initiative from the QLD gov. If you have a RE learners license check from 5 years ago make sure it hasn't expired. Good luck :)

    Thank you for that info
    Very helpful
    That raises another question...
    You said there is RE learner's
    And RE provisional
    On my license it is
    RE class P..??
    Is this saying I already have my P's for the bike..??

    P would be Provisional, so yes, it seems that's what you have.

    Just keep in mind I've never seen a QLD license in person, but my NSW says R P2 (which is rider, provisional 2 (green p's) and C LRN which is car learners, with the expiry date of my car L's. Here an R P2 license is valid for 30 months, giving you 6 months before you need renewal if for some reason you can't/don't want to go unrestricted.

    It's a bit confusing on their website
    https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/licensing/motorcycles/getting/upgrading/

    There's new rule's from october too
    Upcoming changes
    From October 2016 the time you need to hold a class RE learner licence is changing. If you get your class RE learner licence from October 2016, you will need to hold your class RE learner licence for at least 3 months (or at least 1 year if you were exempt from the Q-Ride pre-learner course) before you can enrol in a Q-Ride course or take the Q-SAFE test. If you already hold a class RE learner licence before October 2016, the old rules will continue to apply to you.

    The new class RE learner licence period aims to encourage new riders to practice the skills they learn in the pre-learner course, and encourage new riders to gain supervised riding experience before progressing to a class RE licence and riding unaccompanied.


    In SA i have an RD licence, R Date for my learner's, i only have that for 2 year's max, if i dont go for my P's before then i need to resit for my L's
