Cycling on roads requires competence and this can be supported by taking the RoSPA National Cycling Proficiency Test. It is offered to children over the age of nine for free, often through their school and generally administered by local authorities in the UK.

For further information please contact the Staffordshire County Council Website at www.staffordshire.gov.uk

Some local authorities offer training for adults too - the Road Safety or Cycling Officer may be a useful first contact. You can contact them on enter telephone number

The National Proficiency Test helps to develop observation and manoeuvrability skills, introduces the Highway Code for Young Road Users, teaches the importance of cycle maintenance and hazard awareness, and provides information and advice on being conspicuous and wearing protective headgear.
