Climbing Wall Development Instructor Training

The Climbing Wall Development Instructor training course aims to develop the technical skills, judgements and areas of knowledge deemed necessary to ensure an individual is safe to do so.

The Climbing Wall Development Instructor is for experienced instructors wishing to teach advanced indoor climbing techniques, including lead climbing on indoor or outdoor artificial climbing walls and structures with fixed protection. It builds on the skills gained through either the Climbing Wall Instructor or Rock Climbing Instructor qualifications, one of which must be held in order to access the scheme.
