Training courses

My area of expertise allows me to share my knowledge and know-how in several fields. In those training courses, I will transmit everything I learnt from my years of practice.

Bicycle Mechanic

Private course

Even though bicycles are not as complicated as cars, they are still made of high technologies. Those ones require a good technic for your own safety and that of others. This training course is split in two sections:

  • Prevention: what you need to check before riding
  • Reparation: how to fix your bike away from home
  • Cost €50 / h

As a bicycle mechanic and mountain bike enthusiast since 2002, you will be sure to get the right answer to your questions. Bicycle won’t have any secrets for you anymore.

Collective course

Since September 2024 I also teach this bicycle mechanic course at La Petite Université in Chamonix. These classes are divided into four two-hour units in which we cover in detail:

  • Mandatory tools for bike maintenance and wear monitoring
  • Identify the correct standard of parts
  • Quickly check your bike
  • Inner tube and tubeless repairs
  • Brake systems and pads replacement
  • Transmission, chain cleaning and wear, derailleur adjustment
  • Answers to miscellaneous questions

 

Debate about our world / society

Helped by my backpacking travel background, I have been participating a lot with the STAPS University of Clermont-Ferrand II over the last years to answer questions students may have about the professional world and world global trends. The French educational system is by far one of the worst in Europe. You can pass every exam (even a master degree or PhD) without being prepared to nowadays reality. I am here to refocus priorities towards personal development and real topic giving students the right keys to thrive and pursue a fulfilling life.

Testimonial

 

Globe-trotter, outdoor leader, innovator, entrepreneur, Julien has taught and inspired many of my students either face to face or online over the past five or six years. He has been able to share his experience of personal and professional development, gained by traveling and working all around the world.
Now a qualified mountain leader based in Chamonix, France, Julien has considerable expertise and knowledge in outdoor activities and has recently set up his own company: Ambition Outdoor.
At a time when many young people are struggling to find their paths, Julien’s story may open new perspectives.  The lessons and values which he shares are indeed a breath of fresh air.
