The course runs as a training and assessment combined, with the first day being dedicated to checking out your existing knowledge and working to develop your existing skills. This is not a mountain bike coaching course, but there is a fair amount of time dedicated to looking at how mountain bike skills can be taught and coached.
We spend some time looking at cyclsits and the law, access and route planning. We will cover naviagtion for those with less experience in route planning and finding, and some basic bike maintenance and adjustment to ensure you can deal with small mechanical issues that invariably occur out on a ride.
Level 1 and 2 run concurrently and at the end of the first day we'll discuss with you where your skills are compared to there requirements for the two levels and set out the assessment process and appropriate level of assessment, for the following day.
The second day will feature a full day ride where you will have the opportunity to both show your skills and be assessed, and continue to learn and develop during the day. The course will finish with an individual de-brief where we will identify a development plan for you, going forward.
