Designed for experienced cycle mechanics who want to broaden their expertise, stay current with evolving technology, and progress their careers within the cycling industry, Technical three combines comprehensive theory and hands on experience across four practical modules, servicing complex bike components, electronic gear systems and building high-quality wheels, all under the guidance of experienced tutors.

Advanced cycle mechanic training in Bristol

Life Cycle, a Bristol-based cycling charity, are committed to making training accessible, inclusive and supportive.

Life Cycle’s CEO Ed Norton says:

"We're really excited to bring Cytech technical three to Life Cycle. It's a fantastic opportunity for experienced mechanics to stay up to date with industry changes.

What makes Life Cycle special is that we put people at the heart of learning. Our tutors bring a wealth of industry experience, but they're also passionate about making training accessible, inclusive and supportive. We want everyone who trains with us to feel confident asking questions, developing their skills and reaching their full potential”.

Making a difference beyond the workshop

Choosing to train with Life Cycle means more than gaining an industry-recognised qualification. Every course helps support the charity's wider work in the community. This includes its award-winning Bikes Beyond Bars programme, which delivers Cytech training in prisons. Participants learn practical skills that improve their employment prospects and help them prepare for life after release.

Other noteworthy projects include Two’s Company — tandem rides for visually impaired and disabled people, Life Cycle’s Youth Project, and free cycle activities for young people in Bristol.

As a charity dedicated to making cycling accessible to everyone, Life Cycle offers training, education, and community programmes to help more people benefit from accessible, sustainable transport and active travel.

By training with Life Cycle, participants invest in their professional development while helping create positive change through cycling across Bristol and beyond.
