Course Overview

Manchester Cycling Academy is proud to work in partnership with British Cycling to deliver the Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE).

DiSE is aimed at riders who have recently taken GCSE’s and who are, or expect to be, in the British Cycling Talent pathway and who are resident in and qualify for England. It combines bike riding and full-time education so participants have the skills, knowledge and competence to pursue sporting excellence alongside education and a future career. 

Using a holistic approach, this unique and bespoke government funded programme, overseen by SportsAid, is worth 64 UCAS points and runs alongside existing academic qualifications such as A levels or BTECs and is designed to make you a better rider. 

Sign up below to receive information on the September 2024 Intake.

The course lasts 18 months and starts in September each year with the application period opening each March. 

Successful applicants can participate in DiSE alongside A levels and will study modules such as diet and nutrition, sports psychology, anti doping and sports science, all designed to make you a better rider. 

You will be required to submit pieces of work to demonstrate you meet the criteria set out by the qualification. This includes race plans, nutrition diaries and analysis, career plans, lifestyle plans, goal setting and reviews. 

During the 18 month course you will become a qualified British Cycling Coach and Ride Leader and get the opportunity to travel to the Costa Blanca to volunteer on the Costa Blanca Cyclocross World Cup and take part in our annual training camp.

The education delivery takes place through online seminars and monthly training camps, meaning that you can combine the DiSE programme with studying at your chosen school or college and participate from home.

It is a programme that many other Olympic sports have offered over recent years and 2022 was the first time that cycling had been included.

Olympic legends such as Adam Peaty, Rebecca Adlington and Katarina Johnson Thompson have all graduated from the programme.

Applications are made via British Cycling and the application period for will open in Spring 2024.

Hello manchestercycling.academy Webmaster. Cool website!

My name’s Eric, and I just found your site – manchestercycling.academy – while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.

But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across manchestercycling.academy, what usually happens?

Is your site generating leads for your business?

I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… studies show that 7 out 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.

Not good.

Here’s a thought – what if there was an easy way for every visitor to raise their hand to get a phone call from you INSTANTLY… the second they hit your site and said, call me now.

You can –

That’s why we built out our new SMS Text With Lead feature… because once you’ve captured the visitor’s phone number, you can automatically start a text message (SMS) conversation.

Think about the possibilities – even if you don’t close a deal then and there, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just how you doing? notes to build a relationship.

Wouldn’t that be cool?

How Does it Work?

The DiSE programme is delivered by Manchester Cycling Academy in partnership with British Cycling and SGS College. The programme is specially designed to run alongside, and complement, A Levels or a BTEC qualification, as well as a riders’ training programme.

The DiSE 2023 programme will run over two academic years from September 2023 to April 2025. Each athlete will be allocated an experienced assessor who is there to support the athlete through every step of the programme. Delivery will take place through training camps, workshops, club visits and online one-to-one reviews, supported by professional coaches, specialist practitioners, talent staff and DiSE assessors.

The workshops are tailored around the qualification specification and focus on the skills, knowledge and competence to achieve sporting excellence. Each workshop has an accompanying workbook which athletes will complete with the support of their allocated DiSE assessor. Athletes will need to submit evidence or pieces of work, to demonstrate they meet the criteria set out by the qualification.

This includes race plans, nutrition diaries and analysis, career plans, lifestyle plans, goal-setting, reviews, professional discussions and training and competition hour logbooks. Each workbook will count towards their overall assessment and result.
