Ride leader training

We can provide bespoke courses for your group at a competitive rate (subject to availability and minimum numbers of participants) or pick one from our course calendar. Courses run throughout the year and are aimed at both on or off-road. You can register for a course online or, for more information, contact our training team.

Meet some of the people who have taken part in our courses and here how much they enjoyed them. 

Excellent use of time and highly appropriate and useful course content with plenty of practical activity.  Well presented.  Thank you
