Bicycle Mechanics Level C
Validates work on the principal mechanical systems of a bicycle, fundamental diagnostics, and a professional, verifiable working method.
COMPETENCE ASSESSMENT AND VALIDATION
Competence validation
Velo Standards assesses professional competence against common technical criteria, verifiable evidence, and a clearly defined scope.
A COMMON PROFESSIONAL REFERENCE
Professional competence supported by evidence
Competence validation verifies that the professional commands the tasks, knowledge, and quality criteria relevant to their specialism.
The outcome does not merely confirm that training has been completed: it demonstrates the ability to apply knowledge in representative workshop conditions, with safe practice, method, and verifiable results.
It provides workshops, brands, and professionals with a common technical reference for identifying the validated scope of competence.
VALIDATION SCOPES
Technical specialisms subject to assessment
Each scope defines the systems, procedures, knowledge, and technical decisions that the candidate must demonstrate.
Bicycle Mechanics Level B
Validates the ability to diagnose and work independently on advanced systems, with sound technical judgement and workshop awareness.
Suspension systems
Validates the diagnosis, servicing, adjustment, and functional verification of forks, rear shocks, and dropper posts.
E-bike drive systems
Validates technical work on electric-assist systems, including diagnosis, maintenance, and safe verification.
VALIDATION PROCEDURE
Assessment under representative working conditions
The process brings together the evidence needed to establish professional competence objectively and consistently.
- 01
Scope definition
Identification of the requested competence and initial review of the professional profile.
- 02
Evidence review
Verification of training, experience, and certifications relevant to the selected specialism.
- 03
Competence assessment
Assessment of knowledge, practical execution, and technical judgement against the applicable scheme.
- 04
Decision and record
Issue of a documented decision and precise definition of the validated scope.
COMMON TECHNICAL CRITERIA
Verifiable competence within a defined scope
Validation provides professionals and organisations with a documented technical reference for the competences assessed.
