Certified Climbing Courses

Designed specifically as formal courses for people wanting to be commercially active and needing a certificate of competency, these modular AWARDS are instruction-based and then the candidate is assessed on the content / practical. The modular system provides the building blocks in progressive AWARDS and it is recommended that they are done systematically as each AWARD presumes the skills of the previous AWARD.

Direct-Entry into an AWARD is possible if the candidate can show sufficient experience, however it is important to note that the assessment will include the lower AWARD content as well.
