Teacher accreditation course: Cycling
A key part of developing a strong platform for school development begins with the teachers. WestCycle have developed the Teacher Accreditation Course: Cycling (Code:TAC101) that provides teachers with the knowledge and skills to be deemed compliant when conducting bike riding activities, both on and off school grounds, across the disciplines of road cycling and mountain biking in low to moderate competency environments.
The course covers important aspects of session delivery and planning including risk management, student capabilities, skills and lesson planning.
The Teacher Accreditation Course: Cycling has been approved by the Western Australian Department of Education and is listed as an approved compliance course within the Recreation and Outdoor Education Activities for Public School Procedures document.
The Teacher Accreditation Course: Cycling structure is as follows:
Module 1 - theory
3 hours comprising:
- Introduction & Course Overview

Module 2 - practical
4 hours comprising:

The course has been developed using an easy to use, modern Learning Management System, which is accessible via any web browser. The online component can be worked through at the learners pace, and includes downloadable resources that can be utilised in lesson planning and delivery.
