In addition to learning bike mechanical maintenance and riding techniques within an accredited training programme, the physical activity involved in taking part in regular Motorsports sessions within the natural environment has been proven as an effective method to stimulate learning. This helps to develop social and team building skills, which in turn impacts on future employability opportunities.
The aim of the motorsports and engineering programme, which is a community based off road bike project is to provide a safe and controlled environment for young people to learn and develop new skills. Students will have access to a fully equipped off road bike centre.
