A taste of what the MBCUK Courses are like

Great course and mint after course support

Fantastic course, delivered what it said in the course description! Alex the Tutor even taught me a few new tricks.

Was very impressed at the informal relaxed nature of the Mountainbike Leadership Course, yet still delivering the required product.

Just a message to say the quality of Mountain Bike Leadership and Coaching course was outstanding once again. Paul was a great Tutor and very keen and passionate about mountain biking, so thank you again.

I really enjoyed the course and found all of the content relevant and useful. You can never stop learning, I've taken lots away from the course and look forward to continuing with MBCUK.

Great course I would highly recommend. Much more teaching and confirmation than previous leader courses I have done. Instruction was Brilliant from Rick who was always looking to improve with great feedback and areas to work on. Thanks MBCUK.

The course was well taught and all relevant. I got more out of the course from a coaching and skills point of view than I thought I would. Great to have a skilled rider teaching the course who could also assess the riders ability to lead and coach safely Thanks Oli

Very very informative course-great to be taken through the course by Alex who really knows what he is doing-gives me more confidence in leading and coaching groups-will enable me to give clients a better experience.

A very well thought out course which provides you the tools to become a well rounded MTB leader
