Is this the right course for me?

  • Are you a cycling enthusiast who would like to learn more about basic cycle maintenance?

  • Are you responsible for looking after the bikes of others and want to improve your skills?

  • Are you delivering a basic level of tuition to others?

  • Are you a regular commuter or sports cyclist who would benefit from learning skills that will help you maintain and repair your own bikes?

Our home mechanic course is designed as a step up from basic maintenance courses usually offered by bicycle industry associations, community groups and bicycle retailers. It's a course that will give the individual the confidence to carry out repairs and servicing, whilst also teaching the learner when a task should be carried out by a more experienced technician.

The course is taught in a relaxed environment where all the tools and cycles to practice on are provided - so there is no chance of damaging your own pride and joy.

On completion of the course you will receive the Cytech home mechanic certificate.
