Climbing Wall Development Instructor

We are an approved provider for Mountain Training’s Climbing Wall Development Instructor qualification. This day long course is for experienced RCI or CWI qualified climbing instructors who wish to teach lead climbing on artificial climbing walls. It focuses on risk assessment, coaching, teaching strategies and duty of care, as well as falling and dynamic belaying.

In order to take part in this qualification, candidates must be able to lead climb F6a onsight and take good falls on lead.

Prior to attending a training course, you must have an up-to-date logbook (preferably D-log) with evidence of the following:

• 50 led routes.
• Climbed at 3 different major climbing walls.
• Belayed a lead climber 50 times.
• 25 lead routes at grade F6a on indoor climbing walls.
• 20 supervising sessions after passing either Climbing Wall Instructor or Rock Climbing Instructor qualifications. At least 5 of these sessions must have personal reflective comments recorded on DLOG.

If you can meet all of the above requirements, here’s what to do next:
