instructor + mechanics course questions
Posted: 5 Aug 2016, 9:13pm
I've read some of the threads already about what is life like for a cycle instructor. I'm thinking of doing the cycle instructor course and the city and guilds mechanics course. Basically, my previous employer had a retraining fund that I have to use up and I've always been into bikes so thought something along those lines might be fun. I'm not currently thinking of changing my current line of work but am thinking of maybe doing something to do with cycling on a part-time basis and see how it goes from there. I work freelance so would have the flexibility to do this.
A couple of questions: 1, Would someone with both instructor and mechanics skills be more desirable for employers or don't the two areas tend to cross over that much? 2, Are there any rough daily rates for instructors and mechanics? I spoke to one guy who said he got about £80 as an instructor. I'm assuming that would probably be for a few hours rather than a full day.
