Bike Instructing

[Fire99]

Evening People,

Can anyone summarise what it takes to become a Bike Instructor? Im considering a few changes in the Employment field and am in a position to relatively do what i want as apposed to having to chase the 'bucks' and Bike Instructing has cropped up.

I've ridden bikes on the road now for 18 years (since i was 16) and done the odd track day so am pretty confident of my ability etc..

So anyone have any info/experience on the issue?

Cheers alot..

Nick

No experience of instructing, but i'd leave it 6 months or so and see how many bike schools still exist after the "pre change" rush is over and the Long Way anywhere effect has died off.

Good point.. then it will be mid winter. what a naff time to start instructing.. not that i'm adverse to weather but would be nice to atleast start when the weather wasn't totally poo..
