Introduction and qualfication objectives

Shimano Group-set is designed to give the mechanic the ability to install, set up and adjust gears, brakes and drive train. It’s a 3 day course and there are a lot of areas to cover. By the end of the three days the mechanic will have a great depth of mechanical ability over a range of skills.

Ideally the mechanic will already have gained knowledge and skill through the completion of Cytech Practical One, making the Group-set course the logical progression.

Over the 3 days the learner will work with a wide variety of components giving them a good understanding of the principles of their function. Each mechanic will have the opportunity to work with road, mountain bike and hybrid groupsets. This will provide a great base for further skill development in the workplace.
