The certificate qualifies you to independently plan, deliver and evaluate a series of cycling activity sessions to groups of beginner and intermediate level children or adults.
What are the benefits of becoming a Level 2 Coach?
Coaches at this level are vital to ensure that everyone involved in cycling at the grass roots level has a positive and enjoyable experience, and ensuring the ongoing future and success of cycling in Britain.
A nationally recognised coaching qualification.
£ 5 million personal indemnity insurance.
Access to free coaching and technical support.

Do I need to bring anything to the course?
