Bike Maintenance training courses

MIAS is presently working on a full NVQ for all of the levels. This is a long process and will ultimately mean a longer course.

The ABC are however in the process of awarding unit credits, which will form part of the main framework of learning outcomes.

Rest assured that the MIAS Bike Build and Maintenance qualification is a nationally recognised academic qualification.

There is a link here to Mr Keith Worrall who is the External Course Moderator for the ABC. He is able to supply any information you require concerning the course

Maintaining and repairing your mountain bike isn’t rocket science. There are some components such as expensive shocks that have to go away to specialists for overhaul. But you can save about 70% on Bike Shop costs by removing them and sending them away yourself.

With the above in mind we will teach you how to maintain strip and repair mountain bikes.

With workshop tools at hand students can get involved in bike re-builds under supervision.

We also cover the necessities of trail repairs and what tools and equipment you should equip your workshop with and what you need at home to carryout simple maintenance tasks.
