LEVEL 1 COURSE | 3-DAY BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION
The Level 1 course trains both new and experienced instructors to teach and guide beginner to low-intermediate mountain bikers, in both cross country and downhill environments. New instructors learn the tools they need to safely and effectively teach, while experienced instructors will increase their level of skill and understanding in teaching and riding theory that the PMBIA Certifications uniquely provide. A strong focus is given to learning teaching skills in their own right, to develop a sense of this all-important part of a mountain bike lesson. Throughout the course candidates will learn and practice PMBIA’s proven, modern teaching models and skills, enabling them to deliver safe, effective and fun lessons to beginner to low-intermediate riders. Each day of the 3-day course, instructor candidates will learn riding skills and theory, have plenty of time to practice, and receive personal feedback for their own improvement. Additional workshops covering topics such as bike set-up, risk management and first aid, take place throughout the course to further build knowledge and skills during the course. For information on re-certifying, re-tests and crossing over from other certifications, contact us here. WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?- Develop a passion for teaching: Any professional instructor must have a passion for teaching as much as they do for riding. This course will give you the essential tools you need to begin the process of becoming a professional instructor. You’ll learn how important it is to understand teaching as a skill in its own right as you begin the process of developing into a safe, fun and effective mountain bike instructor.

AIR MODULE | 2-DAY DEVELOPMENT MODULE
WHY TAKE THIS MODULE?- To develop overall riding skills, including jumping, drops and cornering skills

- To PREPARE for the full, four-day Air Instructor Course, as part of the Level 2 or 3 Certifications.
- To RETEST to complete the Air Instructor Course, as part of the Level 2 or 3 Certifications.
- To RECERTIFY the Level 2 or 3 Certification.
- PMBIA Level 1 Certification is mandatory
- Current PMBIA Membership. Membership is not included in the cost of the AIR module and must be purchased separately.
- 2+ seasons of teaching experience is highly recommended but not mandatory
- Completion of the Kids Module is an asset but not mandatory
- Completion of the AIR MODULE Worksheet
- Confident riding at speed with consistent form and technique on intermediate to advanced terrain, including green, blue, and black trails
- 40hr Wilderness First Aid (or equivalent) is expected but not mandatory as per the Level 1 recommendation
The two-day AIR MODULE is a professional training course that can be used in a variety of ways, by PMBIA instructors beyond the Level 1 Certification. This module includes two days of on-bike training, rider improvement, teaching practice, assessment and feedback, plus access to the PMBIA Reference Guide & AIR Module Booklet.
The first day focuses on skill-based teaching, reviewing the intermediate to advanced skill development ideas on the AIR Instructor Course; including concepts such as skill blending, what/why/how/when/how-much, plus example lesson presentations and practice teaching. Common example lessons reviewed in the AIR Module include bermed corners, flat corners, descending, steeps/rocks rolls and pumping.
Day two will see instructors review the maneuver component of the ‘Air’ Instructor Course, as instructors learn about and practice-teach “intro to jumps and drops” lessons, to intermediate riders. Additional workshops including the AIR MODULE worksheet (to be completed before the course), goal setting and suspension set-up, will also be included.
The module will provide a detailed look into the riding and teaching standards of the full Air Instructor course as they relate to the Level 2 and 3 standards, while providing an opportunity for instructors to calibrate their own performance and skill level against these standards.
