BICYCLE MECHANIC TECHNICIAN TRAINING
After our years of experience with the workshop, we have come to realize that the bicycle industry has very few and outdated accredited qualifications for short term mechanics.
The BEA (Bicycle Enginnering Academy) has written the world’s first engineering programs to address the need for the bicycle professional to gain recognition at the highest level of education. Our courses are delivered through the internationally recognized City & Guilds series of accredited qualifications in a unique format.
Students design, study and manufacture bicycles from scratch within our programs, developing skills that are transferable from the bicycle industry to other engineering fields should the opportunity arise, with third level education just a step away.
We started the first level of bicycle mechanic training in Spain, in Benidorm:
BICYCLE MECHANIC TECHNICIAN PROGRAM – LEVEL 1
The training duration is 5 days, a total of 40 classroom hours of practical classroom training. This course provides a foundation in bicycle mechanics and covers all elements of basic bicycle maintenance and repair.
Currently the course is taught in English, so if you do not have a good command of the language you will have to wait a bit, we are working so that soon we can make the training in Spanish, we will let you know!
