Easter MIAS MTB Ride Leader Level 1 and 2 course

Our second MIAS Mountain Bike Leader course in 2026 will be in March on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th. This is a combined course, enabling to do either Level 1 or Level 2.
This is the perfect course for anyone wanting to working in mountain biking and is a standard qualification for many outdoor activity companies. It is recognised internationally and domestically and is an ideal qualification for teachers or leaders in organisations like the Scouts looking to deliver mountain biking activities.
The course will take place on the Marlborough downs and you will learn route planning, skills coaching, leadership and guiding skills, enabling you to guide groups in technical terrain. It will also qualify you to teach the skills required to ride at that level. These include front wheel lifts, rear wheel lifts, bunny hops, drops and trail obstacles. 
The 2 day course will run over the weekend of 7th and 8th March 2026 at Liddington Village Hall and will cost £280, which includes your MIAS registration fees and log book.
