You must register with the Bikeability Trust to deliver Bikeability across England. Only qualified instructors and registered training providers can deliver Bikeability. 

There are many benefits to registering: 

• Bikeability is the only cycle training standard recognised by the UK government. Active Travel England funds our cycle training programme. 
• Bikeability is a trusted brand. Schools, parents and families recognise our cycle training. 
• The Bikeability Trust lists registered training providers on our website. People can find your business and get free or private cycle training.  
• The Bikeability Trust offers lots of support. This includes delivery guides, resources and continuing professional development. 
• You will join a fantastic industry of cycling professionals. You can share best practice and learn from one another.  

How do I register?

Step One

Read our Training Provider Application Guide thoroughly before beginning the application process. 

This guide outlines everything you will need to become a registered training provider, including required documentation, and step-by-step instructions to help you complete your application successfully. 

 Important: 

• To be eligible to apply, you must have qualified instructors in place with the Level 2 Award in Instructing Cycle Training (L2AICT) qualification before submitting your application.  

• Applications without confirmed qualified instructors with a Level 2 Award in Instructing Cycle Training will not be processed.  

• We can only accept applications from organisations based in England, as funding for Bikeability is from Active Travel England and the Department for Transport, and therefore does not cover Wales or Scotland as transport is devolved.
