DESCRIPTION
TECH INSTRUCTOR COURSE | 4-DAY INTERMEDIATE–ADVANCED CERTIFICATION
This course advances PMBIA instructors through practical, skill-based teaching focused on steeps, corners, climbing, and technical maneuvers. Emphasis is placed on delivering safe, skill-progressive lessons using PMBIA’s proven templates and methodology. Maneuver-based instruction introduces bunnyhops, manuals, wheelies, nose pivots, and small natural drops.
Climbing, pedaling efficiency, and control on steeps
Confident, consistent cornering, pumping, and descending
Technical maneuver instruction: bunnyhops, wheelies, manuals, nose pivots, drops
The course typically runs in cross-country trail networks. Instructors will develop five core skill sets: People Skills, Guiding Skills, Teaching Skills, Riding Skills, and Instructor Traits, while receiving daily feedback and mentorship from a PMBIA Trainer.
HOW IT WORKS FOR LEVEL 2 & 3 CERTIFICATIONS
Level 2 Pathway: Instructors may take either the AIR or TECH Instructor Course. After passing both teaching and riding assessments, they receive their Level 2 Certification.
Level 3 Pathway: Requires completion of both the AIR and TECH Instructor Courses, plus the Kids Module, creating a well-rounded, advanced instructor ready for diverse mountain bike roles.
PRECAP ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
Processing | Emerging | Consistent | Autonomous | Proficient
Level 2: Must demonstrate a minimum of “consistent” skill level in both teaching and riding.
Level 3: Must show an “autonomous” (refined) level of skill to pass both assessments.
