Workshop Content:
The Inclusive Cycle Training Disability Workshop is a one-day continued professional development (CPD) workshop. It supports the information supplied within the British Cycling Level 2 Coaching Riders with a Disability Handbook and the Department for Transports Delivering Inclusive Cycle Training resource.
The workshop aims to develop the knowledge and skills of existing disability instructors and support those who wish to instruct disabled riders for the first time. It provides instructors with an opportunity to gain additional instructing skills and knowledge via a mixture of classroom based activities and outdoor practical sessions.
The workshop will assist instructors with their ability to plan, deliver and evaluate a series of safe, ethical and effective instructing sessions for groups of riders with a disability and be able to integrate all riders into their existing sessions. Please see below the modules covered within this workshop:
• Communication and Disability Categories
• Equipment
• Planning
• Outside Practical delivery
• Managing Behaviour
Benefits of the Workshop: 
Upon successful completion of the workshop, instructors should be confident and better equipped to work with riders with a disability. As the workshop is a CPD module, instructors will not receive a qualification, however a certificate of attendance will be provided upon completion of the course.
During the course, instructors will have the opportunity to become British Cycling members. As a British Cycling member and licensed instructor, you will have access to an impressive list of benefits. These include:
• £5 million professional indemnity insurance
• The British Cycling Level 2 Instructing Handbook: Instructing Riders with a Disability
• Access to free instructing and technical support
Am I eligible to attend?
You can attend the Disability Workshop if:
• You have completed the four-day Instructor Course (with British Cycling or another ITO)

Do I need to bring anything to the course?
British Cycling will provide a range of disability bikes for the practical sessions, however if you have access to any please bring them along to the workshop. Candidates do not need to be competent cyclists to take part in the activities. If you are unable to take part in this session for any reason (e.g. illness, no bike or helmet) please inform the Cycle Training team prior to the course so that alternative arrangements can be made to involve you in the activities.
