Mandatory basic courses in small groups and private lessons with a dedicated instructor: everything you need to get your motorcycle or scooter license in Geneva, categories A1 and A. Departing from Cornavin, Eaux-Vives, Versoix, or the OCV.
Two distinct paths, taken separately: the mandatory basic courses to validate your license, and on-demand private lessons, not included in the mandatory 12h, to learn or progress at your own pace. The goal: to prepare you as well as possible for all riding conditions and the road environment.
Mandatory to obtain the motorcycle or scooter licence (A, A1). In small groups, on fixed-date sessions, bookable and payable online.
Not sure? The number of hours required is written on the right-hand side of your learner's permit.
The mandatory courses are not beginner courses. Never ridden before, or want to improve before your basic course or your exam? Book a one-to-one lesson with one of our instructors, at your own pace.
To enroll in the basic course, you need the learner's permit for the relevant category (A1 or A). We'll help you with the process if needed.
12h spread over several sessions, or 4h depending on your category. A 4-stage progression, from mastering the two-wheeler to preparing for the practical exam.
Getting to grips with the two-wheeler at low speed: balance, position, vision, braking. On our practice ground, away from traffic.
You ride in real Geneva conditions, supervised by your instructor: roundabouts, lane selection, heavy traffic.
The mandatory practical exercises: slalom, avoidance, emergency braking. You repeat them until you've mastered them.
Simulation of practical exam conditions and final adjustments: you know exactly what to expect on the big day.
You come with your own registered motorcycle or scooter (L plate), compliant with your category (check that its power matches your learner's permit), with its vehicle's road permit and a full tank. Bring your approved gear: helmet, gloves, motorcycle jacket and pants, high motorcycle boots.

One of the best in Geneva to get your first aid, theorie, sensibilisation and so on. I did my first aid on another school (wasn't happy/unsatisfied) but I did my theorie and sensi here, and it is way way better. I wanted the course in english because I am not confident in my french and what's the point of studying if you won't understand anything. And here it's just perfect! With Slim (Slim Shady) all is explained well, informations were clear (especially in my theorie it helps a lot). Will point out from the smallest point to the obvious ones. It's very recommendable and if you're not confident on your french and you want it in english. Do it here! And even if you're finished with the course they are still open for questions regarding driving/rules or to help you out etc. 🙌👌🤝📌
I enjoyed the Slim instructor's classes; his explanations are excellent, and the sessions are very engaging. Additionally, they generously provided aperitifs during breaks, showing great kindness. I highly recommend them.
I did well in my driver's license conversion test thanks to the very thorough and clearly explained driving lessons by Mr. Slim Kassous. I took 4 lessons and learned a great deal. Highly recommended—the driving school truly lives up to its name: success indeed!
Very informative, useful and engaging. It prepares the person for the practical test. Slim is great instructor where the information is flowing smoothly and in an engaging manner . Thanks so much
I did the first aid course here. Very engaging and good instructions. The instructor was very knowledgeable and sensitive about people’s experiences.
