Off-road Biking (BOB) is NOT a national governing body but is a
commercial organisation offering a range of courses for prospective and
existing cycling leaders. British Off-road Biking offers cycle training and qualifications at four levels that relate to the location and technicality of the operating terrain. In addition to the cycle training BOB also offers a range of additional training modules covering such aspects as Navigation and Incident Management. These modules allow the BOB training scheme to be recognised as a “stand-alone “ scheme. That is, they allow holders of BOB Awards to operate in remote country without the need for additional awards from other National Governing Bodies. Site Specific. Primarily aimed at activity centres and organisations wishing to qualify leaders “in-house” where all cycling activities take place on-site or follow prescribed routes. The operating area will be non-remote but the route may contain technical sections. Level 1. This level qualifies candidates to lead on well-defined highways in non-remote technical terrain such as forest tracks, roads and cycleways. The route remains below 600m and less than 2.5 Km or within 30 mins. walk from a road or shelter, in areas that present little or no navigational difficulty. Level 2. This level qualifies the holder to lead in remote locations below 600m on technical terrain where the rider will encounter rough ground and narrow trails. To hold this award candidates will require to have documented proof of their competence to navigate and to handle emergency incidents in this type of terrain. This competence can be evidenced by an appropriate NGB Award or by the Navigation and Incident Management module provided by the BOB scheme. Candidates who do not have such additional skills will have a geographical restriction placed on their operations. Level 3. This award qualifies leaders to lead groups on defined routes through mountainous country in summer conditions. To hold this award candidates will be required to present proof of their competence to navigate and to handle emergency situations in mountainous country. This competence can be evidenced by an appropriate NGB Award or by the Navigation and Incident Management module provided by the BOB scheme. Candidates who do not have such additional skills will have a geographical restriction placed on their operations. British Off-road Biking Support Modules.
