Site-Specific Training
This course is intended to allow people to supervise climbing and carry out basic equipment checks on a given climbing wall. It allows the belaying of colleagues or novices on the pre-rigged top ropes and the supervision of bouldering and traversing. The training does not cover the teaching of belaying to novices or supervision of groups on any other climbing wall.
The course will usually consist of two days training at your climbing wall, a period of consolidation (to allow candidates to gain experience), and a 1 day assessment. Training topics will reflect your individual requirements but will typically include:
-
Basic supervision of bouldering, traversing and top roping
-
Formulation of risk assessments & procedures
-
Equipment care & logging
-
Basic wall & equipment checks
If successful your staff will be signed off as being competent users of the wall and be able to carry out basic supervision of groups. It should be noted that this is a relatively limited qualification, anyone wishing to become qualified to teach aspects of climbing or work at more than one venue should consider the Climbing Wall Award or Single Pitch Award.
Prices and dates are available on request.
