The BICP Certification courses are skills teaching courses, not skills learning courses.

Therefore, the participants attending the in-person certification course should be well-versed in the skills mentioned below and must be able to perform them at or above the BICP Ride Standard. The successful demonstration of these skills during the course is a prerequisite for certification. It is, therefore, mandatory for the participants to be proficient in these skills before attending the course. It is mandatory to demonstrate these skills successfully to achieve certification during the course.

Being able to perform the skill = Proficient at the skill.

Being able to teach the skill = Mastering the skill.
