Bikeability Scotland
Outfit Moray are the Bikeability Scotland co-ordinators for Moray on behalf of Moray Council and offer training courses for people to become Cycle Training Assistants.
What is Bikeability?
Cycling is a cheap, healthy, efficient, environmentally-friendly and fun mode of transport. Bikeability Scotland is a cycle training programme designed to give children the skills and confidence they need both to cycle safely on the roads, and to encourage them to carry on cycling into adulthood. Bikeability Scotland is managed by Cycling Scotland, the national organisation for cycling promotion, on behalf of the Bikeability Scotland Delivery Group.
Want to become an instructor?
Bikeability Scotland instructors play a hugely important role in getting kids into cycling, thereby encouraging them to choose a healthy, environmentally-friendly, and fun mode of transport. You don’t need to be an expert cyclist to become an instructor – anyone with experience and confidence riding a bicycle can train to be an instructor. For more information visit the Cycling Scotland website.
Cycle Trainer Assistant (SCQF Level 5) Courses
This course will enable you to plan and deliver basic cycle skills for Bikeability 1 and on road skills for Bikeability 2 using Bikeability Scotland resources with mentoring and supervision from Outfit Moray while you gain experience. You should be a competent cyclist and have time to do the pre-course work. (If you require a course for a particular area we can look to put one of the CTA courses in your area if you have 4 or more people or we can arrange a bespoke course for your school or group.)

Thank you all so much, especially Donna. My son was one of the two that couldn’t ride a bike. He is autistic and would not even sit on a bike for us. We are so grateful to you all for the patience and effort you put in to teach him. We are amazed at what he can do now and the confidence he has gained.
