Training the trainers

Alex Potter said:

I live in Birmingham, and I'm interested in training to be a cycling
instructor.

I've drawn a blank so far in my search for a trainer.

Are any of you instructors able to recommend anyone local to me?

No, being in Scotland, but in Scotland cycle training is headed up by
Cycling Scotland, so Cycling England might be a good place to start for
you. Try http://www.cyclingengland.co.uk/training.php as a first stop.

Try the CTC who are contracted to provide expertise for trainer
training and my also be able to provide bursaries to cover some of the
costs.

There are six National Standard Instructor Training Providers in the
UK:

Cycle Training UK - London
Wiltshire County Council
Life Cycle - Bristol
Bike Right - Manchester
York Council
Darlington County Council

It's trivial to apply for a bursery for the 4 day course.

Thanks, Tom. I'd found that document. Nothing local then... hmm.

did the Wiltshire county council course a few weeks ago and one of the Girls
travelled down from Birmingham, granted she is moving to Wiltshire mind you.

Has anyone else done this course if so what is the best way to get a group
to complete my assessment so I can become a fully fledged instructor as the
course only grants you provisional status.

cheers
