New Accell Academy training platform launches to support dealers

Accell UK & Ireland has revealed Accell Academy – now live in the UK – an innovative online training platform designed to support dealers and their staff in delivering top customer experiences across Accell’s bicycle brands – Raleigh, Haibike, Lapierre and Ghost.

Accell Academy provides engaging e-learning courses that equip retail teams with the knowledge and confidence to become true brand advocates, said Accell. By deepening their understanding of each brand’s heritage, technology and product range, staff can ensure that every customer finds the right bike to match their needs and lifestyle. There are rewards for staff using the platform too, to boost engagement further.

“Accell Academy is more than just a training platform – it’s a powerful tool to help our dealers grow,” said Tom Waugh, Trade Marketing Manager, Accell UK & Ireland. “We want to empower every salesperson to deliver expert advice, build customer trust, and ultimately, help more riders get on the perfect bike.”

The platform focuses on education, engagement, and reward:

  • Educate: Equip staff with in-depth product knowledge and sales insights to confidently match customers with the right bikes.
  • Engage: Foster brand advocacy and passion for Accell’s portfolio of premium cycling brands.
  • Reward: Staff earn Accell Academy Points for every e-learning module successfully completed, which can be redeemed for a wide range of rewards beyond the cycling industry.

Through this initiative, Accell UK & Ireland aims to strengthen dealer relationships, elevate retail expertise and drive sales performance across all channels.

“Our brands are built on innovation and quality,” added Tom Waugh. “With Accell Academy, we’re investing in the people who bring those brands to life – our dealers and their teams.”

Accell Academy is now live and available to all authorised Accell dealers.
