British Cycling believe that maintaining high professional standards in coaching is in the interest of riders and coaches alike. Our sport is continuously evolving and so too is our knowledge and understanding of the needs of riders and coaches.

They therefore hope that by implementing a pilot Licensing Programme for our Level 3 coaches, we are able to reflect the significant amount of time and energy that you and your peers invest in researching, challenging and implementing current and future coaching practice.

By using a British Cycling licensed coach you have the reassurance that the coaching practices are within the guidance set out by the governing body. A licensed coach continues to develop their knowledge with CPD ( Continuous Professional Development )

CPD can take many forms and could include working with more experienced coaches, working in new and challenging environments, distance and e-learning or attendance on courses.
