Cytech distance learning proves popular
1 Aug 2008

The number of people undertaking the Cytech Induction distance learning course during the first half of 2008 has already exceeded the total for 2007.

Cytech Induction is proving popular with retailers who want to see new members of staff gaining Cytech accredited skills, plus youth groups, charities and members of the public who want to learn the basics of bike maintenance.

The distance learning course enables those taking their first steps as cycle mechanics to achieve a recognised Cytech accreditation, and a low cost stepping-stone to further qualifications. This theory-based course incorporates the following workshop skills:

Health & Safety
Workshop Practices
Technical standards
Torque Wrenches
Lubricants and Greases
Pre-Delivery Inspection
Tyres & Tubes
Consumer Protection Act

Candidates receive a course folder, incorporating full information and multiple choice questions on all the workshop skill areas above and have up to 6 months within which to complete the course.

The minimum pass mark is 90% and those who do not achieve this are given a second opportunity to complete the course at no extra cost. Owners / managers are informed of pass marks.

Successful candidates receive a certificate of achievement and can upgrade their accreditation to the full Cytech One qualification via a short practical assessment through either PJCS or ATG Training.
