LEVEL 1 COURSE | 3-DAY BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION

The Level 1 course trains both new and experienced instructors to teach and guide beginner to low-intermediate mountain bikers, in both cross country and downhill environments. New instructors learn the tools they need to safely and effectively teach, while experienced instructors will increase their level of skill and understanding in teaching and riding theory that the PMBIA Certifications uniquely provide.

A strong focus is given to learning teaching skills in their own right, to develop a sense of this all-important part of a mountain bike lesson. Throughout the course candidates will learn and practice PMBIA’s proven, modern teaching models and skills, enabling them to deliver safe, effective and fun lessons to beginner to low-intermediate riders.

Each day of the 3-day course, instructor candidates will learn riding skills and theory, have plenty of time to practice, and receive personal feedback for their own improvement. Additional workshops covering topics such as bike set-up, risk management and first aid, take place throughout the course to further build knowledge and skills during the course.
