British Cycling Level 2 Mountain Bike Leadership Award

British Cycling’s Level 2 Mountain Bike Leadership Award is the entry-point qualification for anyone with experience in mountain biking who is working or looking to work in the outdoor leadership or education sector.

It is also a useful course for people who simply have a personal interest in gaining all the information needed to go out on their mountain bike, be safe and have fun.

This two-day course, followed by a one-day assessment, covers a whole range of skills from bike navigation to trailside repairs and basic skills sessions.

Our training courses are run from the CycleActive centre at Brougham Hall in Penrith and our assessment courses are run from Ambleside in the heart of the Lakes. This gives you access to great local trails, carefully organised teaching areas and a good range of accommodation choices nearby too.

Further details of the BC Level 2 course dates, syllabus, pre-entry requirements and other useful facts can be found below.
