Your accreditation will continue to be recognised as it currently is until you are re-accredited or undertake further training.

If you are a trainee of a current BMXA,  CA or MTBA course continue to finalise the requirements to receive your accreditation.

After re-accreditation your accreditation will change as follows:

No.  You will still be required to undertake a second part process and have sufficient experience to undertake a National Course.  Only current CA Level 2 Commissaires are eligible for the AusCycling National Road and Track Courses.  Further details of the additional training opportunities for Level 1 Road and Track Commissaires will be available early in 2021.

The Commissaire and Official courses are valuable for anyone to undertake whatever your experience.  As such we do not offer RCC for any Commissaire course.
