Overview

Whether you’re a parent, a volunteer or an outdoor centre instructor, this Mountain Training accredited course prepares you to supervise safe climbing and abseiling sessions on single pitch crags and artificial structures. Our friendly, highly qualified instructors will use their experience to equip you with the skills needed whilst we have a good time climbing on some great crags. The course runs over two days for those who have completed Climbing Wall Instructor Training as it doesn’t cover the indoor element of the qualification.
