You will need to book an assessment once you’ve had time to hone your skills and knowledge. The maximum time to complete your award assessment is two years after your training course.


How will I be assessed?

When you feel confident in your skills, you can book an assessment.

Assessments will be made in a supportive environment on the assessment day, when completing tasks, through discussions, and whilst demonstrating your leadership, safety, and technical skills on the ride.


What do I need?

Eligibility

You must have mountain biking experience in various terrains and weather conditions.  

An appropriate level of physical fitness for a day’s riding is essential to be competent in the techniques and skills required to safely negotiate the typical trail features, generally comparable to red-graded purpose-built trails.  

On or before your assessment day, you will need to provide evidence of recent rides in appropriate terrain (we recommend a minimum of 15 quality rides; four rides should be 4 hours or more in duration).  We have a downloadable logbook that can be saved electronically or printed if needed.

Leaders wishing to use another leadership award to become a British Cycling Trail Leader should refer to the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) route to Trail Leader assessment guidance.


Bike and equipment

Which types of bikes typically do this award?
