If that is the case, not much point in having 'UK Track Accreditation' on my BC license, as it means I am not accredited to ride any UK track until you pass accreditation. Go figure!

To progress you then have to work through an accreditation system. On passing this you’ll be qualified to take part in more advanced structured training sessions and to race.
With the introduction of a UK wide accreditation scheme for indoor velodromes, each venue will be providing data of accredited riders on existing customer databases to British Cycling Membership Services. Therefore if you are a current BC member, and have a current indoor track accreditation then you will get an endorsement on your BC membership card (UKIVA) that can gain you accredited access to other venues.
The exact accreditation process will differ slightly from venue to venue but the end result of making you a safe and competent rider will be the same
