I test both bikes and cars. How much training do I need to do?

Understanding the training requirements for dual-class MOT testers.
QUICK ANSWER 6 hours
The DVSA requirement for annual training is to cover a minimum of 3 hours on the training topics. The topics you need to study depend on whether you test class 1&2 vehicles (‘group A’) or class 3-7 vehicles (‘group B’).

Some topics are studied by both groups.

If you test vehicles in both group A and group B, you need to study all the topics. You also need to train for at least 6 hours a year (instead of 3) and take 2 annual assessments.
