Skills Training Courses

Although most mountain bikers take to the hills without any training, your mountain bike skills can be greatly enhanced by taking formal instruction courses. You can book training courses on the MountainBiking.ie website with SMBLA qualified instructors. The courses are accredited by the Scottish Mountain Bike Leader Award, which is a body widely recognised throughout the U.K. and increasingly in Ireland for excellence in best practice procedures.

Intermediate Mountain Bike Training

We advise that you attend the beginners course before trying the intermediate course unless you have been mountain biking for a year or so. Our intermediate training course builds on the basic skills you have learned on the beginners course. We recommend that having completed the beginners course you should try to hone the skills you have learned for a few months before immediately attending an intermediate course. This way you will have more questions to ask and will have undoubtedly have a few problem areas that you will want to address specifically.
