Description

Ridelines are one of the UK’s top centres for training mountain bike leaders & guides.

Level 2 British Cycling Mountain Bike Leadership Award Assessment: These leadership assessments are UK industry standard and part of British, Scottish, and Welsh Cycling’s national programme for mountain bike leadership & Guiding qualification. Registration with British Cycling Leadership award scheme is required before attending our two-day training course, the pre-requisite to assessment. Your assessment is a one-day practical assessment and will follow after training and a consolidation period agreed with your Ridelines tutor. This allows sufficient time for you to hone the new skills and knowledge you have obtained during training.

Developing leaders in an accessible, inclusive environment.

At our HQ in Innerleithen we have a custom tailored classroom that provides carefully organised teaching area with suitable technical riding environments right on our doorstep. It’s a great base for the duration of the course. Our carefully planned syllabus will make sure you make tangible progress over the two days. During your Level 2 British Cycling Mountain Bike Leadership Award Assessment you will be observed demonstrating the skills to manage and assess your group whilst ensuring your own technical riding skills are up to scratch. Here’s some more information about you assessment.

  • The practical assessment consists of a full day mountain bike journey of 5-6 hours, shared with other candidates and the tutor. During the ride, each candidate will be assigned to lead individual sections of the route. This may be pre-assigned upon arrival as well as randomly selected throughout the ride.
  • The assessment route is pre-planned by us and is designed to enable you to demonstrate your competence at the limits of the remit of a Level 2 Mountain Bike Leader. You will be expected to fulfil all the assessment criteria of the award including tracking the progress of the group at all times whether leading at that moment or not and could be asked to respond to questions or perform the role of a leader at any time.
  • You will be expected to provide a flowing journey whilst demonstrating good leadership, navigational and relocation skills, using a map as your primary navigation tool. Your group management and leadership skills will be verified out on the trail by the tutor using a combination of real situations and simulation based questioning and practical sessions.
  • You will be expected to carry out rudimentary trailside repaired limited to, but not necessarily including those listed in your British Cycling Level 2 handbook. These include any problems on other learners bikes whilst out on the ride.

The assessment is designed to put learners under a proportionate level of pressure that reflects the role of a Level 2 Mountain Bike Leader. The tutor will facilitate your assessment throughout the day to also encourage an environment of continuous learning. They will support all learners to understand where their personal skill set meets the qualification requirements including explaining where and why, if it is not yet at the required standard. All learners will be provided with personal action plans for future development after the assessment.

A logbook will be sent to you upon registering for the awards (discuss alternative methods for logging the information required with your tutor). The logbook should provide evidence not only of the location, duration and route of the rides but also demonstrate to the tutor your ability to self-reflect on each ride, for example, how you performed, how the conditions impacted the experience, if you had been leading a group what might you have had to consider? We strongly encourage learners to conduct as much riding and navigation as possible outside of a trail centre environment in preparation for training and assessment.

  1. Andrew Dodds (verified owner) –

    Both assessement and training were excellent – you’ll never meet a more relaxed yet professional group of leaders. They love bikes, want everyone to enjoy it as much as they do and work their hardest to make sure you get the most from the courses.
