National Standards Cycle Instructor training courses
Our cycle instructor courses last for 4 days and adhere to all the recommendations and principles of the National Standards for cycle training.
We deliver our cycle instructor training courses at our Manchester base or can provide training for groups anywhere across the UK. All participants must be regular and competent cyclists, and will be assessed on their cycling ability during the course.
The initial 4 day course is a mixture of classroom-based learning and practical activities, to practise and show competence in each of the 3 levels of the National Cycle Training Standards. Assessment is carried out on a continuous basis. Participants who successfully complete this part of the course will receive a provisional pass towards full accreditation.

Course locations –
your place or ours?
You have the choice of either travelling to Manchester for training at our purpose built training centre or allowing us to deliver our cycle instructor courses at a suitable location, anywhere in the UK. We also run some courses from our offices in Liverpool and Newcastle - see dates below for more details.
NS Instructor open courses can be booked by individuals or groups. All other courses are designed for group bookings only.
Post Course Assessment
The second stage of the course involves a period of post-course assessment, which must include an element of on-road training.
This must be completed within 6 months of completing the 4 day Instructor Training course and you are responsible for arranging this at a suitable time when you are actually delivering training.
Participants who have passed all of the assessment criteria during their monitoring will be verified as an Accredited Cycle Instructor, and their details held on our Cycle Instructor database. Certificates will only be issued once this PCA has been completed.
Prices:
£150 per person if you have attended a BikeRight! NS course
£175 per person if you were trained by another organisation
Prices exclude VAT. Travel and subsistance costs apply for courses outside of Greater Manchester
