EKIB EDUCATION
METHODOLOGY
We have the most advanced technology for the study of cycling biomechanics but we firmly believe that this is useless unless it is supported by a good training that allows the correct analysis and interpretation of the obtained data. In Ekib we focus on developing the professional’s analytical and decision making skills always under the scope of science and experience.
In order to perform a bike fit, knowledge of several disciplines, such as anatomy, joint physiology, aerodynamics, etc., is a must, as well as a comprehensive knowledge of the existing accessories, components and bicycles in the market. That is why we offer a comprehensive training where no aspect is left behind, so that you can offer a professional and well-founded service from the first day.
Practice with real clients
Hands-on training is key in every learning process. In all our courses you will have the opportunity to handle different bike-fit related technology and work with real clients, so you can implement the learned contents under the supervision and help of the instructor (who will guide you through the process and argue all carried out actions)
Customization
Each professional has his/her own training, knowledge and previous experience, with strengths and weaknesses in different fields. That is why we offer customized courses, to address the aspects that you need to develop or reinforce.
Objectivity and scientific accuracy
Many of the trainings offered in the market are linked to a certain tool or system or simply deal with their operational functions. Ekib training programs aim to broaden your knowledge and develop your analysis and decision-taking skills so that you can carry out the correct and necessary actions regardless the system you work with. Our training will enable you to objectively interpret the cyclist’s data and personal insights.
Business Vision
For us it is clear that those who venture in the cycling biomechanics business are passionate about knowledge, the human body and sport, but we also know that you want to make your investment profitable and boost your business while enjoying it.
That is why at Ekib we always provide business training, we will analyze your particular situation and guide you to get the most out of your business.
