About National Standards On Road Training Level 2
LEVEL TWO is generally for the
10-13 age group who have either completed level one or are sufficiently
confident to not need to do it and for them to go on and learn the basics of
riding the four main turns on the road now that the law has changed as it is now
illegal for bikes to be ridden on the pavement. Age is irrelevant though,
a competent younger child will sell you their hearts and their soul to be taken
seriously, whereas an older one tends to think they know most of it already yet
teenagers, treated with respect for their age are absolutely fine, no problem! They
are taught,
subject to demand, in groups of between 2-8, the higher figure being the
absolute maximum and always with a second adult present. Private Tuition is available for 1 or 2 people (siblings for example) at £25 per hour for 1:1 tuition and from £40 for two hours OR from £20pp for 2 students for one hour & from £35pp for two hours - excluding the cost of badges.
NB. The purchase of Bikeability goodies such as the badge and
certificate is optional at an additional charge of £2.50 per
level/course otherwise RSCT issued certificates will be used. And a
surcharge may be applicable depending on both the number of
students/groups requiring training and potential travel costs
depending on where I am teaching. Level 2 skills include:-
Start an on-road journey If a satisfactory standard is achieved then going onto Level 3 Bikeability training in Y6 or above is the next step, however 'best practise' realistically speaking, would be that they practise their new found skills for a few months first before doing so. It only takes a quick phone call to set it up although we might need to look at training grounds away from the home environment as a village setting for example, doesn't tend to have the facilities needed for Level 3 training. LEVEL 2 [INTRO. TO ON ROAD CYCLING] normally up to a max. of 8 x Years 5, 6 & 7 students or 16 students if TWO fully qualified instructors present, reduced to 12 if working with an Assistant Instructor** going out on the road for their Bikeability training
