Due to demand from existing L1 and L2 coaches, a small number of  Level 2 discipline course are still available - dates are on this page. These courses will be discotinued as and when new course options become available.

Level 2 Discipline Specific courses

These awards are for qualified Level 2 coaches who are either new to a specific discipline or who want to develop their existing knowledge further. We offer these awards across the disciplines of track, road, cyclo-cross, BMX, mountain bike and cycle speedway.  

The courses cover topics including discipline events, their demands, practical session planning, development, environment, remit and coach-led racing theory. 

The knowledge gained from one of these awards will allow you to plan, deliver and evaluate a series of safe and engaging discipline specific sessions. The award will also give you all the knowledge and information you need to progress riders from their first session to competition.
