British Cycling - South East Region Road Race/Circuit Race Commissaire Training
This course will be held at Handcross Parish Hall, High Street, Handcross, West Sussex RH17 6BJ starting at 09:45 and finishing at 16:00 on April 17, 2010.
British Cycling is now introducing integrated training to work through the various levels of commissairing in road racing. There are now four levels of British Cycling road race commissaire. These are as follows:
Assistant Commissaire; Regional Commissaire; National Commissaire; UCI commissaire.
This training has been written in order to help new officials feel confident helping and managing road races as they happen. As a course provided by British Cycling the new assistant commissaires can feel confident that they will have the skills necessary to help at any region level road race. More experienced officials will be given a chance to familiarise themselves with the most up to date practice and share experiences.
This course is taught in five modules:
Child Protection
The child protection module covers best practice on how to deal with young and vulnerable persons. It also covers how the commissaire can use best practice to deal with real life situations that might present themselves.
Communication
The communication module covers how commissaires will set an example and maintain their authority during a race. The module also covers how different behaviour may unintentionally impact on a race.
Administration
The administration module covers how to check permits licences and the importance of keeping good records before, during and after the race.
Technical
The technical module covers the responsibilities of the commissaire regarding the competitors clothing and equipment, including how to set up and manage a gear check.
The competition module covers three areas. This starts by looking at discipline and sanctions available to commissaires. Then consideration is given to the interpretation of Highways Agency road markings and signs already in place on the road. Finally there is a competition simulation where candidates will need to record and interpret information during the race, decide a result and complete a result card. Candidates are then expected to use this training practically to be able to qualify as a regional commissaire. The minimum period of practical experience is six races.
Commissaire progression
Once a new assistant commissaire has completed the days training there is a structured process of gaining experience with set criteria. These criteria can now be met over a minimum of six races. Even if it takes more than six races, once a person has reached the required criteria they will be able to qualify as a Regional Commissaire.
To become a National Level Commissaire at least two years experience as a Regional Commissaire is required and attendance at the National training course.
National Commissaires become UCI Commissaires if they are nominated to the UCI course by British Cycling.
Please let me know if you wish to attend this course as I will need to organise training material and lunch for you.
