TESTING FOR YOUR MOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENT (LICENSE):
**In order to take this test, students must first obtain a permit from Service New Brunswick (SNB) which consists of written tests and eye exam. Students must call1-888-762-8600 to schedule an appointment for this test and are encouraged to do so well in advance of their course date. (There will be no future notice regarding this matter)
Students who have obtained their permit are given one opportunity to do their riding test with Service New Brunswick (SNB) for their motorcycle endorsement after the course. Students must test during the scheduled time for their course and exceptions cannot be made for scheduling conflicts. (There will be no retesting available through this program). Please note that there is a license testing fee that must be paid in advance at SNB, and proof of payment must be shown to the driver examiner on the day of the license test.
There are two types of motorcycle endorsements in New Brunswick:
“A” Endorsement – ride any size motorcycle.
“D” Endorsement – ride motorcycles up to and including 550cc.
Students will be required to provide driver’s license during registration if testing for motorcycle license. Students testing for their “A“ Endorsement are responsible for providing a motorcycle larger than 550cc for the Service New Brunswick road test. The motorcycles provided by SSNB for training are smaller than 550cc (125cc to 300cc), and may be used by students testing for their “D“ Endorsement. A larger bike may be available for the 'A' Endorsement testing (and practice) for a small fee. The use of this bike is not part of your course, nor is it guaranteed. Please contact us for more information.
