Introduction and qualification objectives
The Cytech Home Mechanic course is designed to give the enthusiast a good level of mechanical ability covering a comprehensive range of cycle maintenance areas.
It is a two day course, led by an experienced instructor who will guide the learner through a good mix of demonstrations and practical exercises.
It's a great course to give the individual the confidence to carry out repairs and servicing whilst also teaching the learner when a task should be carried out by a more experienced trained technician.
It is a lot to squeeze into two days but we have the experience in order to make it fun and a valuable use of time.
It is a relaxed environment in which we provide all the tools you will require plus the cycles to practice on so no chance of damaging your own pride and joy.
On completion you will also receive the Cytech Home Mechanic certificate.
