This is a years course testing the individual over all aspects of cycle coaching and requires the trainee to pass written and practical examinations and proove that the person can take an athlete forward with a 17 weekly training schedule with a full years plan with peaks for certain races, periodisation and the ability to train SMART.

Association of British Cycling Coach ...
Dave Lloyd is a fully qualified Association of British Cycling Coach.
The ABCC award required Dave to do a 6 module correspondence course, a full years training schedule for a rider including tapers, peaks and a weekly training programme. The ABCC also include in depth physiological studies and the final part of the course required Dave to give a 3 1/2 hour presentation to riders with an ABCC coach adjudicating. Typically, Dave gained his ABCC qualification faster than anyone had previously!
Velodrome Coach
Dave Lloyd is a fully qualified Velodrome Coach and gained this qualification by taking Drop-In sessions, Tasters, School Sessions and Club Sessions all under the supervision of the Velodrome TDO. He passed this with flying colours and has taken many individual and group/ Club sessions, proving himself a very popular Coach at both Manchester and Newport Velodromes.
Qualified Derny Pacer
Dave Lloyd is a fully qualified Derny Pacer, again a qualification requiring him to prove he can safely pace a group of riders around the track. It entailed a full 10 hours supervised work with various riders of differing abilities and Dave has already had many compliments on his "smooth" Derny technique and how "safe" the athletes feel on his wheel. - this comes from Daves experience as a Pro bike rider where he had many Derny races on the continent, including "Derny Nocturnes" in Holland - certainly not for the faint hearted, but giving Dave a deep knowledge of the craft and an empathy with the riders on his wheel!
QUALIFIED DERNY RACER
Dave Lloyd has also qualified for his Derny Racing licence. He can therefore pace riders in races as well as just pace them in training. Dave is always updating and expanding his Coaching CV and there is just no other coach with as many qualifications or experience as Dave Lloyd.
Dave Lloyd has worked part time for BC with their Talent Team in the WCPP scheme and has worked as a Team Manager for Continental Professional Teams and more recently at the Girvan 3-Day and other pestigious races.
Dave Lloyd was an innovative Frame Builder for 13 years and knows more about bikes and the mechanics around bikes than any other coach out there. Plus, with his wife, Chris, invented and named what we now all call the Skin Suit - not a lot of people know that!
The above is proof positive that there is no other coach with so much knowledge and depth of experience as Dave - Plus, Dave brings another,very important dimension to his coaching skills... ENTHUSIASM! This is not a qualification you can train for and just comes naturally from Dave's love of Cycling!
