CYCLE mechanics can now train closer to home, after a new centre was launched by Bracknell and Wokingham College.
Run by Activate Learning, the centre has created a new training workshop following the uptick in cycling during the coronavirus pandemic.
Built in partnership with Cytech, a training provider, it hopes the Activate Cycle Academic (ACA) will help guide aspiring bicycle mechanics across Berkshire.
This is the fourth workshop launched in England, and the second centre Activate Learning has opened since the pandemic began.
Matt Grant, from ACA, said: “Our team has worked exceptionally hard to get this fantastic workshop open in these challenging times.
“We had to navigate the latest lockdown at the start of the year, when all our worships were closed.
“It’s been a remarkable achievement and one we’re all immensely proud of.”
The workshop offers a range of cycle maintenance training opportunities.
Konrad Dadej, who recently completed a course at the college, said it was very approachable.
“It firmed up a lot of the knowledge that I already had, and I learnt a lot of new tricks to help me do some of the jobs quicker,” he said.
