What is the RPL route?
It’s important all Bikeability instructors are delivering to the same standard, so all new riders get the same great experience.
The Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) route brings your learning up-to-date and will help you achieve the new Level 2 Award in Instructing Cycle Training.
It makes sure that all instructors are delivering Bikeability to the current National Standard and Bikeability Delivery Guide.
All current National Standard Instructors must complete a new qualification. These instructors currently hold NSIA, NSIP or NSIQ status.
All instructors must register for the Recognised Prior Learning route before 31 March 2024.
This is a requirement from the Department for Transport, which has increased the bursary to support instructors complete the qualification.
What will I learn?
What will I learn during the course?
The Recognised Prior Learning route reflects that you already practice as a cycle instructor.
It is centred around one day of continuing professional development (CPD).
This takes place in-person in the classroom.
It includes practical activities, the opportunity to share good practice and be challenged.
It is facilitated using a course handbook, which will be available digitally or in print.
