ATG Training to extend UK tour with visits to Ireland and Wales

Posted on in Cycles News

Following a successful tour of the UK last year, ATG Training are now planning a return to Scotland as well as heading to Ireland and Wales to run their in-store and on-site Cytech assessment days.

Cytech is the leading internationally recognised training and accreditation scheme for bicycle technicians, with courses being delivered globally through a network of carefully selected training providers. In the UK there are four permanent locations, however where no training centres currently exist Cytech trainers and assessors are able to travel off-site to deliver assessments and award Cytech qualifications.

In addition to the assessments that their team of area-based trainers already offer throughout England, Cytech training provider ATG Training are giving bike mechanics in Scotland, Ireland and Wales the opportunity to get qualified by completing an in-store or on-site assessment for Cytech technical one and two when ATG visit these locations later in the year.

The team will be travelling to Scotland, Ireland and Wales over the coming months, spending four or five days in each location to run assessments.

Scotland - 23rd - 27th April
Ireland - 30th April - 4th May
Wales -  29th May - 1st Jun

Cytech technical two assessment includes a full strip and rebuild on a bike incorporating facing and chasing the frame, a wheel build and a hydraulic bleed. Depending on your circumstances and workshop facilities ATG Training can arrange to visit you and your staff in your own workshop (if suitable - please see criteria for workshop). The ATG team can provide assessment and certification with minimal fuss and disruption to your workplace.

Places are limited, so an early booking is essential to secure your place.

If you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity please contact ATG Training on 01296 737 800 or sales@atg-training.co.uk to register your interest and find out more details.

As well as ATG Training all of our other providers can also offer off-site assessments on a case by case basis, including PJCS in the UK. Visit our training providers ' page where you can find contact details.
