Are you passionate about bikes? Desperate to enter the industry but can’t get a job without a proper accreditation – nor get the accreditation without the job? Or are you an enthusiastic amateur who would love to repair your bicycle like a pro? If so, read on.

City and Guilds VSQ in Cycle Maintenance and Repair

The Cycle Systems Academy course offers a full accreditation in the City and Guilds VSQ in Cycle Maintenance and Repair and will therefore give you an internationally recognized certificate in the highest qualification available in cycle mechanics. Crucially, this accreditation is available to you even if you do not currently work within the cycle trade so you do not need a work placement to study with us. A quick look at our sponsor list will show you that the industry believes in us. Which means they’ll believe in you too.
