The MIAS Mountain-bike Leader/Instructors' Award scheme goes way beyond other courses that are available in the United Kingdom and has national N.V.Q. standard academic accreditation.

Unlike other awards we do recognise that you may come to us with a life time of experience in outdoor education, the military and mountain biking so we do recognise Accredited Previous Learning, as well as training undertaken with other recognised award providers.

The Training and Assessment is endorsed by the Association of British Cycling Coaches and the Cyclists Touring Club and recognised by AALS which was AALA.

MIAS courses are particularly beneficial for those who wish to gain employment or work as independent operators within the travel industry. They are also very popular with teachers, youth leaders, scout leaders etc. who have benefited from a recognised qualification, from the N.V.Q. Awarding Body

The Level 1 qualification is aimed at those who wish to lead groups of beginners in non-technical terrain (forest tracks, canal towpaths etc).

The Level 2 qualification is aimed at those who wish to lead groups of beginners in non technical terrain and intermediate riders in technical (rocky /demanding terrain).

The Level 1 & Level 2 courses are run together. Students & the course director will decide after the initial assessment period which certification the individual candidate will undergo on the course, Level 1 or Level 2.
