The Climbing Wall Instructor course assesses candidates in the skills required to supervise climbers on purpose built artificial climbing walls and boulders. It is ideal for people who work at climbing walls or at venues with permanent or mobile climbing towers. There is also an optional Abseil Module (often run in conjunction with Climbing Wall Instructor training and assessment courses) which is all about supervising abseiling on artificial structures. The Climbing Wall Instructor qualification does not include the skills and techniques required to teach lead climbing. This course will assess all or most aspects of the Climbing Wall Instructor Scheme over a 6 hour day. Candidates will also complete a question paper. It is the responsibility of all candidates to ensure they have complied with all requirements of the award prior to attending. If you have any queries contact us – Tel: +44 (028) 4372 2158
