Bike Instructor Certification Program, formally IMBA-ICP, has experienced a very successful start, since branching out on its own, and our courses continue to receive a high level of demand.

• In 2018, we conducted 72 certification courses, certified over 300 new members, and hired 10 new Instructor Trainers.
• In 2019, we conducted 96 certification courses (doubling the number of courses offered through IMBA-ICP), certified over 450 new members, and hired 6 more new Instructor Trainers.
• In 2020, the reaction to in-person courses needed to be addressed. We created COVID-19 guidelines that allowed us to release our new updated curriculum with more online content, new levels of certifications, and more continued education.
• We proudly partnered with MOVE UNITED in the USA, and KASA – Kootenay Adaptive Sport Association in Canada, where we conducted 4 aMTB Level 1 Fundamental Skills Instructor courses and will continue to focus and grow the Adaptive curriculum for 2021.
• In 2022, we added a Level 2 to our growing aMTB curriculum.
• In 2023, we shifted our curriculum to an online platform for our pre-course work. This online platform allows participants access to the most current changes to the curriculum, including video demonstrations for each skill “Ride Standard.”

“Keeping up with the demands of the growing sport requires ongoing changes to our curriculum. Meeting the needs of our members and the industry while adhering to our strict standard to teach safely and with purpose”.

The BICP is proud of its members and supports them in creating a strong community of like-minded individuals that work together to grow the sport of mountain biking in their community. We support our coaches and encourage them to start a mountain bike business in their community, many of our coaches work with their local trail systems and schools to develop after-school programs.

The Bike Instructor Certification Program’s mission is to advance the global standard of mountain bike instruction, driving an inclusive community that empowers our members through education, certification, service, and experience.

Many of our aMTB certifications and partner organizations rely on grant funding and scholarships, a small portion of each BICP member’s annual dues helps to fund these scholarships.

As a non-profit organization, your donation is tax-deductible and serves as an excellent way to give back to your community. We graciously accept any donation, and we thank you in advance for your support.

Building a Strong Community Together!
