WHY ARE WE HERE: TO GET MORE PEOPLE ON BIKES!
Better Instructors and Guides provide safer, more effective, consistent, and fun lessons. This in turn makes the sport easier and safer for new riders to learn and current riders to keep progressing. Ultimately, this helps create a sport that is more appealing and easily accessible to non-riders, helping create new participants, while also ensuring the sport doesn’t lose current riders due to injury or lack of progression.
IMPROVE THE STANDARDS OF TEACHING & GUIDING
The quality of mountain bike lessons and tours within the industry relies heavily on the training and knowledge of the Instructors and Guides, who lead these services. The PMBIA’s role is to ensure professional quality training courses, complete with consistent assessment methods, to create the best Instructors and Guides possible. The PMBIA Team have over 70 years of collective experience teaching mountain biking, training Instructors (some in multiple sports) and always listen to any and all feedback to continually evolve and refine the Instructor certifications the PMBIA provides.
INTERNATIONAL CONSISTENCY IN TEACHING METHODS & TERMINOLOGY
Regardless of what people ride, where they ride or how they ride, teaching with the PMBIA’s Six Skill System and proven teaching methodologies, allows an Instructor to safely and effectively progress any student, in any environment. There simply isn’t a need for a “bike park” Instructor course, an “xc Instructor” course, a “Canadian” course, or an “Australian” course. A PMBIA Certified Instructor can teach and Guide any type of mountain biker, in a variety of terrain.
