There are two qualifications you can get to deliver Bikeability Scotland - the one-day Bikeability Scotland Instructor course for delivering levels 1 and 2, and the four-day Cycle Trainer course for delivering all three levels.
Once qualified you can take your skills and experience to the next level and complete the Bikeability Scotland Instructor Trainer course.
A one-day course, delivered over two half days, that enables you to deliver Bikeability Scotland levels 1 and 2.
During the course, you will learn how to plan, prepare, deliver, and conclude training sessions, including dynamic risk assessments of playground and on-road training locations.
Prerequisites: You should ideally be a competent bike rider and must be a minimum of 16 years old, or 18 when working independently.
A four-day course that allows you to deliver all 3 levels of Bikeability Scotland, as well as any course that teaches the National Standard for cycle training. Cycle Trainers can conduct static risk assessments on cycling routes and training venues.
Prerequisites: You should be fully competent on a bike and have experience of riding on busy roads.
The two-day course enables you to deliver the Bikeability Scotland Instructor course.

This course includes familiarisation with the BSI course and materials along with valuable teaching techniques.
