PJCS sets out to deliver Cytech qualifications in North and West

Posted on 19 Apr 2018

Over the next few weeks Cytech training provider and assessor Pete Cowling of PJCS Training will be travelling the UK to carry out Cytech assessments.

Pete will be spending the week in Wales from 30th April then up in North Yorkshire from 21st May and there are still dates available during these weeks for assessments of Cytech technical one and two. Cytech technical assessments include a full strip and rebuild on a bike, a PDI check and a wheel build. If you or your staff are in either of these areas and looking to get Cytech qualified get in touch with PJCS by emailing pete@pjcsonline.co.uk.

Cytech is the internationally recognised qualification for bicycle technicians. By getting your staff Cytech qualified they will learn the skills needed to work safely, efficiently and to the highest standards within your workshop. 91% of candidates agree that they are better at their job after a Cytech course, which gives your customers peace of mind that their bikes are in safe hands!

In the UK there are four permanent locations, however where no training centres currently exist Cytech trainers and assessors are able to travel off-site to deliver assessments and award Cytech qualifications. Contact your nearest training provider for more details.
