Who to talk to
Becoming part of Bikeability Scotland as an instructor is a richly rewarding experience that not only benefits your local community but can also form part of your own personal development.
Anyone delivering Bikeability Scotland training in schools, either on a voluntary basis or as part of a school or local authority role, can train as an instructor free of charge.
Becoming a Bikeability Scotland volunteer at your local school
If you are a parent, guardian, or a member of the local community you can let your school know that you are interested in training to become a Bikeability Scotland Instructor by either contacting them directly, or by getting in touch with your local authority coordinator.
Bikeability Scotland in your school
If you work at a school or at a local authority, please contact your local authority coordinator who will let you know about the procedures to follow and support available.
Who are the local authority coordinators?
Each local authority in Scotland is structured differently and so, depending on where you live, you will be contacting a member of a team responsible for Active Schools, Active Travel, Outdoor Education, Transport Planning, Road Safety, or a dedicated Bikeability Scotland Coordinator.
Regardless of the exact job title, they will be able to provide information about training needs in your local area and be able to arrange next steps.
Contact your local authority coordinator
Independent schools and non-school settings
If you'd like to teach Bikeability Scotland at an independent school (either as a member of staff or a volunteer) or in a community/non-school setting, please contact Cycling Scotland directly.
