Employability Courses

Bikeworks relaunched its accredited City & Guilds L1 Employability course in 2020, to residents aged 18 years+, who live in Tower Hamlets, Newham, Hackney, and Waltham Forest.

Focused on supporting people with disabilities, long-term health conditions, and mental health support needs, in a friendly and supportive environment.

The L1 Employability course takes place over 4-8 weeks, dependent on your learning needs, usually over two days a week.

One day is spent learning with our friendly and experienced Tutor. The second day is designed to demonstrate the learning through participation at our All Ability Cycling Clubs – these take place in Victoria Park and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, east London.
