Funded Bike Apprenticeships and Courses
A number of the cycle qualifications we offer may be eligible for some form of funding from the Skills Funding Agency (SFA). The qualifications are usually either the full apprenticeship programme or NVQ only.
Each qualification is explained below:

So, what will it all cost?
In many cases some form of funding is available and we will do our best to help you through this process. The funding, in many cases will provide you with a substantial subsidy for the qualification. As well as this we do expect your employer to provide a commitment to the lifetime of the qualification by contributing to the overall cost of delivering, assessing and certificating a learner.
