Each learner will build a bike from recycled parts, check that it is road worthy and undertake a bike safety workshop before heading out for a ride on their new bike. Once the learner has participated in the year’s course they get to keep the bike they have built. Other areas such as first aid, health & safety, drugs &  alcohol awareness workshops will take place throughout the year, the learners will need to attend these to gain the full qualification and keep their bike.
