Hey guys.

Need some advice.

I’m trying to find a cycling specific certification scheme for my more challenging students. (Then again, they are all **** mad as I work in a PRU!) I’ve used ASDAN, COPE, AQA Unit Award and the Youth Achievement Award in the past and already train my students to Bikeability stands, but I’m looking for a National Governing Body style training program for young people.

I’ve been all over the CTC and British Cycling websites but can’t find anything.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

email me – i may well have the perfect solution. where are you based?

Cheers Cruz

I’ve e-mailed you.

This any good?

We are not allowed to call them PRU anymore
I am sure another certificate for the ROA will be all the difference between success and NEET 😉

Yeah! South West Devon Personalised Learning Service is sooooooo much more catchy than PRU.

ohhh Junkyard you cynic!

Trekster. Cheers for the link.

Looks interesting but still trying to get my head around the website. Can’t make up my mind if its exactly what I’m looking for or if someone is trying to sell me a time-share apartment. Lots of management speak and jingoism’s such as “Orientation Event” and “facilitation.” Bet the phrase “blue sky thinking” is somewhere in there as well.”

simon – that i what we are offering. james will email you soon

Interesting. S-S Ive been looking for something similar for yoofs that attend some of our yoof clubs. Let me know what you come up with…….

Jim Riach is the guy who developed the S/MBL awards from scratch in association with Glenmore Lodge http://www.glenmorelodge.org.uk/ along with my friend and S/MBL tutor Greg Knowles. At the time it was in response to LEA`s requiring school teachers, outdoor education types and youth leaders to be qualified leaders in all outdoor diciplines following the kyaking incident(death)on the South coast many yrs ago.
Rik @ Drumlanrig has cert nbr 1, I should have had cert nbr 2(or 1)but….another story!!!

Cheers guys thanks for the advice.

Cruz… Lookin forward to having a chat with James.

Thanks Trekster. Hopefully should get something put in place for Sept.

Remember, I’m looking for something that I can deliver myself. Already have a fleet of bikes and I’m already well qualified. I’m pretty handy ya know. Even rewired my house last year (but only after reading a really good Readers Digest book from the library.)

I’m not looking for someone to come in and charge me £25.00 per student for something I could do myself.
