Jump Start Your Career As A Cycle Mechanic

By Casper Vivianodeni


The numbers show that more job opportunities are opening for specialized areas of skills.When we say specialized fields this does not only mean those with post-graduate degrees.Technical knowledge like those that you can get from cycle mechanic training is also in demand right now.

The current problem with unemployment has its roots back to the mismatch of available workers to the available jobs.Most people are prepared for blue collar jobs when in fact, the ones available are technical or skill-based jobs.This means that they are unable to find employment since they do not have the skills required.

So the best career advice is for you to choose the path that you like.Don't force yourself into things that you don't enjoy.If you love biking and if you love tinkering with bikes, one option for you is to become a cycle mechanic.

You don't need to have a post-grad degree in order to do it.You just need to have a good deal of bicycle mechanic training and experience.Here are some tips on how you can kick-off a cycle mechanic career:

1. Go biking- before you even enroll yourself in a course or in anything at all, you have to learn to ride bikes and to see how everything goes for bikers.This will give you an idea as to what their needs are and the things you need to learn.

2. Enroll in vocational courses-visit technical schools which offer courses for bicycle mechanics.They have short courses that run for about a month and they also have those that run longer.you may opt to finish it one time or cut it down to a few short courses at a time.

3. Get experience-as a beginner you surely couldn't put up a shop immediately.What you can do is to work as an intern in bigger bike shops.This will help you gain enough experience and help you make a name of your own.

When you're done with your cycle mechanic training course and you have gained enough experience, you may opt for better positions in shops.And if you already have enough for capital, you can start your own bike shop.
