Anyone know when IBT resumes?

Looking to do IBT in the wesht and wondering if anyone knows when it resumes

When restrictions ease, not being smart but that's it in a nut shell.
Yes its pointless as it can be socially distanced very easily, but hey look at the last 12 months we've had.

I wonder could you convince someone to do the classroom portion over Zoom?

At least you'd get started.

Has anyone got a date for their ibt or have an idea when they are allowed again?

Provisionally allowed reopen on the 29th all going well that may change as it has multiple times and become some time in May.

It's ridiculous.

I'm dealing with DVA in NI atmo (unrelated), and whilst on-hold, one of the announcements they have on their phone system about all the delays on test etc is that motorcycle tests are NOT affected by it (m/c test being 'solo' by nature).

Proper approach imho.

Motorcycle tests are still being conducted & have not stopped here during restrictions?

Yep tests been on going for essential workers, doesn't really have much bearing on ibt resumption though.

Correct I never mentioned IBT?
The post was in reply to tests going ahead up north but not down here which is incorrect

The only ones that are left out are the poor sods who’s IBTs have expired. Hopefully they’ll get sorted too.

Mod 5 is part of the ibt so can go ahead to reinstate the ibt

They still have to pay for it though.

Through no fault of their own, it’s a bit unfair that people couldn’t even apply for their tests/drive their bikes because of the lockdowns

Well I mean paying for it goes without saying.

100% and I fell into that category, have the test paid for can't sit it because my ibt ran out of date and my industry has been shut since last march.

I've never washed the bike as much and I hate washing my stuff ha.

I’m well aware of how lucky I’ve been, as my employer was classed as essential so I’ve been able to do the test, but I still think it’s a load of sh!te that people such as yourself have been left in the lurch.

Oh 100%, my attitude has just been it is what it is, nothing I can do about it and I'm not about to ride uninsured for a lot of reasons, some lads did some didn't.
Regardless you're right a lot of us suffered for the incompetence of the government and rsa.
They didn't get through as many essential workers as they could have either total **** up all round.

Roadcraft can I pick your brain so. My ibt will run out in July and as a non essential worker I'm still waiting on test. If I fail I'll have to renew it in some way as I understand it. What does this mean in practice?

I did mail the RSA but no answer yet.

Everyone is essential.
My experience with tests over the last few months is the examiner will ask you are you an essential worker & what you do?

If you happen to say you are in the food delivery business your test will go ahead.

At the moment it is a good time to do a test because you can send an email with your details on RSA.ie & they will call you back with some test date options.

If your IBT expires you can renew your cert for another two years by completing module 5 of IBT.
You dont have to repeat the theory modules

My mate who's just starting out had his DTT cancelled tomorrow, I see on the site they've cancelled all appointments between 4th and 9th. Anyone have an insight as to why? Is it covid related or are they making the move to the online DTT?
