The National Standard Instructor course is an accredited course that teaches you how to deliver the National Standards in cycle training (Bikeability). With a mixture of classroom based and hands-on learning, the course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to be a top cycle trainer.
CTC is an expert cycle training provider and offers training that goes beyond the National Standard - a standard that we helped set up and design.
The course covers:
- Focus on the delivery and assessment for each Bikeability level (Level 1, 2 and 3).
- Choosing appropriate environments to deliver cycle training.
- Risk assessing training environments and managing risk for trainees.
- Developing a range of teaching techniques for children and adults.
- Understanding the role and responsibilities of an instructor.
- Checking bikes & equipment for use in training.
- Managing groups.
Cyclecraft, by John Franklin is used as course book and you'll be given a free copy as part of the course.
The course fee includes:
- 4 day NSI course
- Provisional accreditation and registration with DfT
- Certification
- Refreshments
Note that the course cost excludes lunch and post course assessment.

The CTC course maximises the learning environment for participants. The course teaches you to work independently and develop your own training methods, whilst working as a provisionally accredited instructor. Through ongoing assessments working with real trainees, we make sure you continue to develop your skills. Full accreditation follows after the post course assessment process.
