Train the trainer
Event description
Pedal Power offers a range of learn-to-ride classes for children and adults. Our programs, including Big Skills for Small Bikes, CycleWell, and New Horizons have been developed by qualified trainers and are well regarded in the ACT Community.
We need more trainers to teach these courses!
In this session, run by an AusCycling accredited coach, you will be given an orientation to our courses and the skills needed to be a trainer yourself. The session will cover basics for learn-to-ride courses for both children and adults.
This session is free.
Please bring a packed lunch, water, snacks, comfortable clothes and your bike.
About being a trainer
After finishing this course Pedal Power will ask you to volunteer for one course, for either adults or children. We will pair you with an experienced trainer, who will mentor you to give you the skills to be able to run a course on your own. Following this, you will be able to lead courses (with support of other trainers) and will be paid.
