Level One (Novice)

All our courses are specifically tailored to the needs and capabilities of the trainee, but the one hour Introductory Assessment involves components which are compulsory for all. The purpose of this session is to assess the trainee's needs, expectations, cycling ability and experience, and to devise a training programme with them.

Level One (Novice)
