Dear potential Trainee Instructor
If you are considering becoming a National Standards Instructor, hopefully the following will give you some idea of what it all entails.
- The courses generally speaking, tend to run from
09:00 – 16:00 each day over a four day period* although we
are flexible and would
negotiate alternatives subject to where you will be coming from and
problems those particular times might create for you.
(*It might be
that the courses are run in two parts of two days each or one
continual course of four days duration.)
-
It covers the theory and a wide
range of practical exercises involved in the delivery of Levels 1 to
3 of the National Standards for Cycle
Training. The course is
delivered by our most senior Instructors who have wide experience in
training both children and adults, in groups
and as individuals.
- The course involves a range of teaching methods
both to give you the necessary learning experience and keep the
course interactive. Please
be prepared to join in with all the activities whether they be
classroom or road-side based.
-
Prior to any course commencing however we recommend
that you to do some
background reading, in particular the latest
version of the
Highway Code (HMSO, ISBN: 0115528148) and
Cyclecraft by John Franklin (ISBN: 0117037400).
- We also recommend that you look at the Bikeability website which holds a lot of useful cycle training information. www.bikeability.org.uk.
