We follow the MIAS syllabus modules with an ongoing assessment of students ability.
The timings on the joining notes are not set in stone things are flexible.
Although very informal the assessment is quite intense with a couple of question forms thrown in, on the first morning. Even the most experienced riders will glean something from the classroom modules. So be prepared to put your bum on a seat for periods of the first day.
Lunch break is normally around 12.30 lunch is not provided although Tea, Coffee and Water are, we always have Biscuits and if your lucky sweeties. So bring a packed lunch and any other drinks you prefer.
Personal riding skills module
After lunch we get onto the saddle and demonstrate our personal riding skills for the assessors. ( it’s always difficult with someone watching)
If the weather is fair as in April 07 then you can really enjoy showing off your riding prowess but on wetter days with the drip drip off the trees it’s not so much fun.
Back inside by about 3.45 and time for a quick brew and a biscuit, then on with a short exam so, that’s about 4.30.
Now get ready with your map (your assessment notes told you which one) for the next exercise planning a cycle ride for a group and all the Health and Safety implications that that encompasses.
No one said this would be easy or that you would have an early finish, don’t expect to get away on either day before 6 to 6.30.
If you are going to attain L1 or L2 in MIAS you must be prepared for a little sacrifice. It will pay dividends when your qualified.
We start sharp at 09.00 on Sunday. After more questions we are off into the wide blue yonder following the route that we planned last night.
We expect to be back at the training school for mid to late afternoon. A de-brief will then takes place covering the ride over. This is in addition to the continuing de-briefs and role -play during the ride.
The assessment follows and is conducted on an individual one on one basis. Those that have to travel the furthest go first. MIAS Log-books will be issued and your Certificate will come through the post about a week later. You can now apply to the Association of British Cycling Coaches for personal insurance that will cover you for £5 million. I believe the fee is £39.00
If you would like to do a L1 or L2 assessment we need a deposit off £99 to book your place if you drop out within 10 working days of the course date you lose £50. Go back to
