Bikeability Cycle Training Assistants

Posted on October 19, 2017

Bikeability Scotland is cycle training for schools. It is delivered nationally by trained volunteers, working with trained staff across the Falkirk Council area. Bikeability is normally delivered during the school day, but can also be run as an after school club, and opportunities for both exist.

This is a chance to join a team of Cycle Training Assistants (CTA) working in schools to deliver Bikeability Scotland Cycle Training. The opportunity comes with free CPD verified training (through a one-day course) to provide the skills required to become a qualified CTA.

It is expected that anyone volunteering to become a CTA will be able to ride a bike, have access to a bike, and be able to travel locally to schools in their area.

This opportunity takes throughout Falkirk.

For further information regarding this opportunity, please contact the Volunteer Team by phone: 01324 692000, or email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
