    What's the story with IBT expiring? My CoC says it'll be valid for 2 years.
    Basically, I passed my IBT last year but failed my A2 test. I gave up and stuck with my car but given the weather is picking up, I'd hope to get back into biking and get my full motorbike license.
    My IBT still has over a year left on it but if it reaches the 2 year point, can I get get it renewed or would I need to start from scratch and do the IBT again?

    Pass your test before it expires or redo IBT if it expires.

    If you are 24 before it expires, you could do a module 5 for the unrestricted A

    True, & that would give you a new cert with two years on it.

    Is that not only if you pass the a2 test?

    No, when you are 24 you can move up to category 'A' when you get your 'A' permit & complete module 5 on a category 'A' bike.

    I'm currently 25. Could I just do module 5 and get a 2 year extension?

    Although that'd still cost me €400. Welp.

    Yes apply for your 'A' learner permit, complete module 5 & your new cert will be valid for two years.

    400 euro for module 5 seems very expensive - shop around.
