Testimonials

 

Matt has been fantastic when working with the children here. Every child regardless of age, gender or expertise has been able to access this course and complete it, taking home a brand new, fully functioning bike of their own. The soft skills that pupils learn and develop whilst progressing through this course with Matt are incredibly valuable, the students grow in confidence and self-esteem from week to week as the acquire new skills and knowledge around the mechanics of bikes. It is primarily a practical course which many students will benefit from, especially pupils who may find academic or classroom learning difficult. Matt delivers in a very hands on, kinesthetic style of learning through demonstration which we have found works brilliantly with visual learners.

Seeing vulnerable young adults engaging with a fantastic well structured practical program was amazing. These young people who may not have been given opportunities embraced working with Mark our instructor. All young adults said how Mark was really approachable and how much they enjoyed working with him.

All things active bike building courses have been a tremendous addition to our school provision. The courses are engaging, rewarding and the pupils leave with a new set of skills and a brand new bike, amazing.

Shaun was well organised and pitched the sessions just right for our cohort. Our students responded well and learned skills that will be able to apply to future projects. We would highly recommend VeloBuild and Shaun for SEMH settings and learners who need creative approaches to sustain engagement and learn practical skills.

I really enjoyed this course because it was something that I had never done and we got to keep the bike. I learned that if something went wrong it wasn’t a problem and I could take things apart and start again. I now know how to fix my bike and I use it all the time.
