    A but you will need to do an IBT I'd say

    ok if you had full "A1" before then go for "A" now, that is what the old unrestricted license turned into... good luck

    The previous 'A-restricted' learner category is equivalent to the A2 learner category now- basically, medium power bikes. If the OP renews an A-restricted learner permit that began in 2009 (ie prior to mandatory IBT), then he can renew it today for the A2 and take and pass a test in A2 but he will never graduate to the full power cat A (as per the two year restriction regime)

    As the OP is now over 24, he is entitled to add cat A to he learner permit. However, as you've said, this category would have to be validated by completion of IBT. At that stage he can apply for and take the cat A test.
