If there isn’t a practical assessment showing close to you, please enrol into the Foundation Instructor Course and start your theory modules. AusCycling monitors the locations of members enrolled into theory modules and seeks to have assessment sessions set up regularly.

Remote Practical Assessment

While AusCycling is willing to travel to deliver bike education through out Australia (minimum of 6 participants required for a course), we also recongnise the challenges for those who live in remote parts of Australia.

If you live more than 300km from a capital city or main regional centre in your State or Territory and your address is classified as Rural (RRMA 3-5) or above, you may qualify for a practical assessment by video. To apply for a remote practical assessment, you are required to have completed your theory modules.

To check the classification of your address, visit RRMA Classification

A remote practical assessment requires the completion of a video regarding a number of practical assessment tasks. Further information regarding the remote practical assessment is available in the Practical Assessment module of your on-line Foundation Instructor course.

Additional Discipline Foundation Instructor Accreditation

A Foundation Instructor is able to be accredited in one or multiple disciplines. Any Foundation Instructor who has completed accreditation in one discipline does not need to retake the common theory modules. They will only be required to undertake the discipline-specific modules and practical assessment requirements.
