Differences to the Fleet Management course
This course is designed for those who look after the equipment, make sure that it is working, get the spanners out and complete the records of work undertaken rather than the Fleet Management course which develops the fleet management systems themselves.
Entry requirements
This course covers an amount of actual bike maintenance, but is most applicable where you have completed at least the Trailside Maintenance and ideally the Advanced Maintenance course previously.
You will also be working or volunteering at a location where several bikes and associated equipment are used, potentially by a variety of users over time. Classic locations include bike hire facilities, outdoor centres, bike shops running loan schemes and other activity providers.
Progression routes
You may use this course as part of overall training in bike maintenance, where you are also maintaining bikes as part of your role.
You may go onto a Cytech course from here.
