Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

The United Bicycle Institute (UBI) offers the Certified Bicycle Technician Program for those who wish to be employed in the bicycle industry or for experienced mechanics who would like advanced certification. The Institute says that "this certificate means the student has passed a rigorous testing procedure, and has been certified by UBI to be proficient in the given discipline. This program is available through our Professional Repair and Shop Operation class, and Advanced Mechanics Seminars."

Bicycle repairers who operate a business must have a business license.
