Trail MTB Bike Leader Award

Covering the essential skills of leading groups, the Trail Leader Award fulfils many leaders needs in full.
Trail MTB Bike Leader Award
Key Content: 

It focuses on games and skills development, group management to fulfil the four e's for your group:

  • ensuring safety
  • enjoyment
  • engagement
  • education

It includes essential navigation and trailside maintenance skills; roles, responsibilities and ride preparation principles. Dynamic risk assessment and dealing with emergencies also form valuable parts of the course.

As the main entry point for virtually all mountain bike leaders and instructors, Trail Leaders gain valuable fundamental competencies that form the backbone of their role, whether in Trail terrain, or having moved on to Technical environments, Go-mtb Award delivery, the Skill Instructor Award or the CTC Trainer Awards for delivery of relevant further CTC courses.

Course Outcomes: 

Those with previous leading and personal riding experience will find the specific group management and skill development elements key to their future mountain bike leading (and potentially progression into the Technical Leader Award course) - one of the aims of this course is to translate riders into leaders, and outdoor leaders into mountain bike leaders. The skills associated with this should not be underestimated.
