Your friend will need either a provisional licencse or a full licencse with provisional motorcycle entitlement (not always included these days). I'm not too sure about the UK licencse bit as we've done CBT's to people with Irish licensees before...

They will then need to pass a motorcycle theory test- valid gor 2 years
Next up is the CBT - again valid for 2 years
Then it's training time
First test to pass is the part 1 site work
Once that's passed it's onto test part 2 which is the road ride.
Part 2 cannot be taken or booked until part 1 is passed

Hope that helps
