The unlimited motorcycle license is Cat A, but you can also apply for P (mopeds, limited to 30mph), A1 (up to 50cc), or A2 (limited to 25kW machines for the first two years).
It's perfectly possible to prepare for your practical test on your own, on a machine of up to 125cc, as long as you have obtained your Learner's license (with provisional A entitlement), and you have taken a 1-day course called CBT (Compulsory Basic Training), which costs about £100.
Before you take your practical test you'll also need to sit and pass a motorcycle theory test, which cost about £25. Both CBT and the theory test would expire after two years and you would need to be retaking them. Once you've passed the practical test, no further tests will be needed until age 70, unless you're disqualified or you wish to apply for a higher category.
There are many schools in the UK that offer motorcycle courses which last a few days (see the links I've added); such courses usually include bike hire, insurance, and borrowed helmet/gloves, and cost around £500, more or less, depending on your previous experience. If you opt for the Direct Access course, you'll be practicing on a bigger bike, and you'll be going for the A unrestricted license, otherwise most commonly you'd be going for A2. Paying for the course doesn't guarantee you a pass, but makes it much more likely, plus you'll get good offers on re-training from the same school.
If you opt for training on your own, you'll be expending something of the sort of £200 for some 2nd hand riding gear, about £100 for a helmet, plus another £100 for a year's worth of insurance, and about £60 for each time you need to book the practical test. Fuel costs are negligible. If you choose this route, you'd either be buying your own bike, or hiring one for about £150 a week.

Hi There,
Step 1
You need to either get provisional licence with motorcycle entitlement. Or a full car licence before you start.
Step 2 before you can go on the road on a motorcycle you need to get a CBT certificate. Thats a day course where you learn about basic motorcycle maintenace, slow-speed control, doing u-turns, emergency stops & handling a motorcycle etc.. If the instructor thinks you are good enough he will take you out on the road with a couple more riders, and you will wear an earpiece inside your helmet so you can hear the instructor. after about an hour he will take you back to the centre and if you are sucessful he will issue you with CBT (Compulsery Basic Training) certificate. which is valid for 2 years and restricts you to ride upto a 125cc motorcycle.
Step3. If you are 21 or over you can take whats called a Direct access course which lasts only 3/4 days and when you pass u get a full motorcycle licence entitling you to ride any size motorcycle. The test is done usually on a 600cc machine. During
the course you start on a 124cc machine and work upwards.
Also its cost usually about £400-£500 f you do the direct access course you do the cbt as part of the course.

The route to a full class A (unrestricted) bike licence depends on your age. If you're over 24 after you have done a theory test you can do a direct access course in a week with a riders school, and sit the test at the end. After that you can ride what you want.
Check www.dvla.gov.uk for all the test routes.

A common misconception is that you will have to be a financial and business expert in order to successfully trade binary options. However, this is not true at all. Learn here https://tr.im/ncibW
Perhaps it’s true when it comes to traditional stocks trading but definitely not true in the case of binaries. You don’t have to be an expert to predict the movement of certain assets.
