The Escuela Técnica de la Bicicleta (ETB) offers several courses in the areas of Bicycle Design, Frame-Building and Bike-Mechanics aimed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to advance at either professional or personal level in their chosen field of study
All courses can be undertaken independently or combined to create an Integrated Modular Course (MIB) best suited to the particular interests of each student. Teaching is carried out in small groups, employing a decidedly practical approach that takes into account the skills and requirements of each student.
Bicycle Design
and Frame-Building I
Bicycle Design and Frame-Building I
This course is aimed to any person interested in learning to design and build their own bespoke frame and acquire in the process a better understanding of the bicycle. At the end of this one-week course, the student will not only have completed a custom steel fillet-brazed frame, but also acquired a solid knowledge-base and the essential manual skills…
Bicycle Design
and Frame-Building II
Bicycle Design and Frame-Building II
If you want to acquire a more comprehensive and extensive knowledge of bike-design and frame-building, this 10-days course offers you the possibility to build two bespoke bikes at our workshop. After the completion of this course, the students will have gained a solid understanding and valuable hands-on experience to allow them continue practising…
ON-LINE Introductory Course
Design and Construction
Bicycle Design and Frame-Building
In this theoretical course we offer an overview of the design and construction of the bicycle (custom or serial) as well as all the most relevant aspects of the process: customer relations, selection of materials and components, construction techniques, construction tools. workshop and design programs.
Oxy-Acetylene Welding
Oxide-Acetylenic Welding Course
Course of a practical nature aimed at the study of the joining processes between metals in which the filler material has a significant difference in fusion temperature with respect to the base material; capillary welding (fittings) and fillet brazing using brass and silver.
TIG welding
TIG welding
TIG welding course designed to learn the basic principles and procedures of constructing steel frames using this type of union. The objective is to offer a solid base of knowledge and skills on which the student can later practice and perfect their TIG welding technique on an individual basis.
Fork Manufacturing
Fork Manufacturing
This course is designed to be taken after our ‘Bicycle Design and Construction Course I’ or the ‘Oxy-Acetylene Welding Course’, although it can also be taken independently.
Supervised Practices
Practices in the Workshop under Supervision
This module is designed so that students who have already taken a subject with us can delve deeper into it, review and practice the material seen in a supervised manner.
Introduction to Design and Construction
Introduction Course
