Practical Training
The Level 3 Mountain Bike Leadership is the highest level of the Mountain Bike Leadership program. The award aims to allow leaders to guide mountain bike rides in remote environments and on physically demanding trails of high technical difficulty.
People wanting to book onto this course must have already completed their Level 2 award. Once this award is complete people are then required to complete an additional 30 rides which need to showcase the top end of the participant’s riding skills. We are looking for highly skilled mountain bike leaders who ride and lead on a regular basis.
The three-day training course builds upon the skills and knowledge gained at Level 2, with specific topics covered in more depth.
