Full details of the assessment process will be available during the training course.
Programme:
The course will be as practical as possible with day one being a mixture of classroom, theory and practical sessions and day two being exclusively in the saddle.

Participants should bring their normal Cycling kit including wet weather clothing. It is expected that participants will bring their own bikes, however if needed we are able to supply bikes at an additional cost. Please contact the centre at least two weeks prior to the start date. All participants are expected to wear a helmet at all times on the bike.
