This is the ideal award for those looking to formalise their cycle mechanics experience. Whether that is whilst operating as a MTB leader, school teacher, instructor at an outdoor centre or even a parent keen to ensure the family’s bikes are up to spec, then this course will fit the bill perfectly. We teach you how to inspect and sign off any bike as being up to standard – specifically the British Standard associated with bikes.
The aim is to leave you as an accredited Bronze Velotech award holder. There is an assessment task towards the end of the day and there is a multiple choice question paper as part of the accreditation process.
A simple existing knowledge of bikes and components.
Be aged 16 or older.
This course is designed for those needing to inspect and sign off bikes as safe for use. It is a great way in for those fairly new to the world of cycle mechanics. Key aspects are introduced at a level that will lead you through to the higher levels with confidence.
This course is run in conjunction with Velotech Cycling and follows their syllabus and requirements, including:

We have a purpose built teaching workshop ready for your course. This is equipped with all that is needed to facilitate all aspects of the syllabus. We can also supply all PPE for you including workshop aprons, gloves and barrier cream. We also supply all consumables needed to coach and assess you through the process.
However, we do not carry a stock of components with which to service your own bike. We aim to work on bikes supplied by us. These bikes will enable us to work through all the key principles and systems required. For Velotech Gold/Platinum it may be interesting to bring along a bike with any unusual components on it for the purposes of discussion (this is NOT essential)
