Now available in Scotland - Cytech technical one and two Assessment Days

Posted on 14 Jun 2017

ATG Training are pleased to announce the introduction of Cytech technical one and Technical two Assessment days in Scotland.

Cytech is the internationally recognised training and accreditation scheme for bicycle technicians delivering training and promotion of technical skills to the cycle trade and enthusiasts worldwide.

Cytech is delivered through accredited training providers who operate from centres across the UK. However, in locations where no training centres currently exist ATG Training are making it possible to carry out Assessment days, giving everyone access to the same qualifications.

This July ATG Training will be visiting Scotland for assessments of Cytech technical one and Cytech technical two.

This gives those in the trade the opportunity to gain a recognised qualification from one of Cytech’s accredited partners by demonstrating that their knowledge and skills meet the industry standards in a one day assessment.

Depending on your circumstances and workshop facilities ATG Training can arrange to visit you and your staff in your own workshop (if suitable - please see criteria for workshop) or possibly arrange for an Assessment Day to be carried out in a local workshop.

This can also be carried out on an ongoing basis after July, by request. Contact ATG Training to register your interest.

If you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity please contact ATG Training on 01296 737 800 or sales@atg-training.co.uk to register your interest and find out more details.
