Climbing Wall Instructor Training

In this two day course you can get to grips with all the technical skills and safety requirements required to safely supervise people who wish to climb indoors.

This course does not cover lead climbing, for that you will need the Climbing Wall Development Instructor scheme which is a higher qualification.

If you are interested in abseiling training you can also do the Climbing Wall Instructor Abseil Module which is an add on module to this course.

Please note that this course takes place in two climbing walls.

Day 1: The Castle Climbing Centre, Green Lanes, London, England, N4 2HA

Day 2: Mile End Climbing Wall, Haverfield Rd, London E3 5BE

The entrance fees to the climbing walls are not included in the course fee.

Mountain Training requires that all students are registered with them prior to commencing the course.

Registration, course guidance notes and other resources are available from Mountain Training.

Climbing Wall Instructor training lasts for two days and will cover:

The Climbing Wall Instructor syllabus

What to expect at assessment

Feedback on your performance and areas to focus on prior to assessment

Technical competence (including equipment, belaying, personal skills and background knowledge)

Management and decision making (including planning, managing participants, decision making, knowledge and demonstration of techniques and managing other staff)

The climbing environment (including access, etiquette and ethics)

After completing a training course, use the feedback from your course director and the skills checklist to identify syllabus areas you need to practise.
