May 18-20
Mountain Biking Instructor Certification Program

This instructional camp is designed for individuals interested in learning how to teach correct and safe mountain biking skills to entry level, beginner, and intermediate riders.

There are a myriad of approaches and techniques, but very few people who are able to successfully teach them to others. Working in cooperation with Fujibikes, with over 100 years of bike building experience, BCE's team of expert instructors will deliver an efficient system of concepts, methods, and skills to make you a competent and confident instructor of the sport. During this workshop you will learn a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to teaching a broader understanding of the most useful theories and immediately put them into practice. Because of our serious committment to the sport both Fujibikes and BCE have joined forces to help qualify all riders that may be interested in notching up their commitment to receive this valuable credential and instructor certification.

Cost: $290 includes instructors certificate, syllabus/ guide, all accommodations, four meals, all training. (Additional training dates can be scheduled with prior notice.)
